The week was moving quickly after the talk with my brother and Jimin's brother.

One thing I noticed was Taehyung's behavior.

It was finally setting in and he was hurting.

As the days got closer it felt as if he got more depressed.

I hated seeing him upset like this but I also knew if I stayed with him longer than promised, it would only cause that much more pain.

I watched as Taehyung dragged his feet across the carpet as he made his way into the bathroom.

He didn't even so much as look up as he nearly ran into the wall.

I sighed as he walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

He had been like this ever since yesterday when Jimin called to tell me there was exactly two more days until we moved.

That really hit him hard.

I had today and tomorrow then I would be moving to Seoul with Jimin, aka the love of my life.

Of course I was going to miss Taehyung but I was excited to start my new life in Seoul with Jimin.

I sat on the couch and listened as the water in the shower began to run.

I could hear Taehyung messing around with the shampoo bottle lids and getting frustrated when he would drop something.

He seemed to have a lot of pent up anger too.

Maybe that's just how he was coping with this.

"Fuck!" I hear him yell and then a loud thud, as if he had thrown something.

Curiously, I stand up and make my way towards the door.

"Are you Alright in there?" I ask as I knock gently.

"No, I fucking cut my hand." Taehyung says and I push the door open and walk inside.

I pull back the curtain ever so slightly and speak.

"Let me see."

Taehyung looks at me, our eyes meeting.

He then lifts his finger and shows me the cut.

Isn't wasn't that deep but the pout on his face said otherwise to him.

"It'll Be Okay. Just put a band aid on it when you get out." I say as I let go of his hand.

When I do he quickly grabs back onto it.

"Don't go." He says, his voice exhausted.

I look into his eyes, searching for something but all I see is sadness.

I give him a sad smile and nod.

While he showers I stand by the curtain, waiting for him to finish.

I felt bad for him in all honesty.

I could only imagine what he's feeling right now.

This is like if Jimin was moving in with his girlfriend, I'd be devastated.

So of course I feel guilty.

When Taehyung is finally finished in the shower I leave so he can get dressed.

Once he's finally out of the bathroom we both sit down on the couch.

Taehyung stared out in front of him with a blank look on his face.

My heart really went out to him.

"Taehyung." I say, my voice soft.

He turns his head to look at me, sadness filled in his brown eyes.

I knew what I'd have to do.

"I love you." I say, my voice soft.

Taehyung takes in what I say and his eyes fill with tears.

Both of us knew that version of I love you was simply an I love you you would say to your friends.

"I love you so much Jungkook. I don't want you to go." Taehyung says as he breaks down in tears.

He throws himself at me, squeezing me till I almost couldn't breathe.

I hug him back, feeling my own tears threatening to spill.

"I know." I say as I rub my hand up and down his back.

He clung to me as he cried without holding back.

All I could do was hold onto him as he cried because of me.

...

After awhile, Taehyung had cried himself to sleep.

Currently, his head was rested on my chest as his body stayed curled up in a small ball beside me.

Looking down at him I felt my heart ache.

Ever since the beginning, all I did was cause him pain.

I lead him on and I still continue to.

I'm a shitty person and I'm sure everyone knew it.

I was pulled out of my thoughts as Taehyung's arm that was draped around my waist squeezes me a bit.

Looking down at him I see him move his head to face me.

"You're awake." I say softly.

His eyes were puffy and his face was tear stained.

"Why do you have to go?" He sighs.

He already knew the answer to this and yet he still asked.

It's like he wanted to get hurt.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, okay." I say.

Taehyung looks up into my eyes and he moves his hand to the side of my face.

"If I asked you to stay, would you?" He asks, choking on his words.

I close my eyes as I take in a breath.

"Baby please, don't go. I can make you so happy. I can give you things he can't. I'm the one who love you, Kooks, please just stay with me." Taehyung says, his voice desperate.

He was making this harder for me than it already was.

"You know I can't." I say, my voice shaking a bit.

"Am I really that horrible? Is something wrong with me? Why can't I be the one you fall in love with? Am I really that unloveable?" Taehyung asks, tears in his eyes again.

I look down at Taehyung with sad eyes.

"There's nothing wrong with you, Tae. You're an amazing person and one day you'll find someone who loves you for you." I say.

"But I don't want anyone else. I want you." Taehyung chokes, a single tear falling down his cheek.

Seeing him like this broke my heart.

He was so fragile and not even he knew it.

"I know. It's going to be hard but you have to let me go." I say honestly.

Taehyung shakes his head, wiping his tears.

"I can't."

I sigh as I look down at him.

"Please Taehyung."

All I wanted was for Taehyung to be happy and the only way that could happen is if he moved on.

Loving me wasn't healthy for him.

Taehyung looks into my eyes, pain within his own.

After a moment of just looking into my eyes he Let's out a shaky breath and nods.

"I'll try my best." He finally says.

I give him a sad smile and lean forward to kiss his forehead.

"I know you'll find someone who truly loves you. I'm sorry that that person isn't me." I say.

He sighs and dries his face.

"Can I ask one last favor of you?" Taehyung asks.

"Sure." I say softly.

Taehyung stands up and extends his hand to me.

Without a single thought, I grab ahold of it.

"Just this one last thing, then you can go."
