{ taehyung is the most beautiful boy I've ever seen, I'm serious omgawd:( }

There had been quite some events in your lifetime which made you wish to have the power of running away from responsibilities. This moment was one of them. On one hand you wanted to go over to him, hug him and kiss him. On the other hand you felt guilty, ashamed and simply wanted to run away.
Maybe this was the first time you really noticed how Taehyung had changed. Not until now you hadn't realised that his eye bags had become more prominent, as well as his cheek bones. He had lost weight but the scariest thing were his eyes. Besides from them being extremely red, they looked empty. Back then he always used to have this little sparkl which you loved. That sparkle, which always had given you the feeling of being loved. But right now you didn't see that spark. It was gone.

Seconds passed and you were still standing there, staring at each other.
He was leaning against the counter, his head resting against the fridge. Never had you seen him this sad before, and it felt like being stabbed a million times.
Slowly you walked over to him, reaching out your hand. He was looking at your hand, but reached out his hand too.
Quickly you grabbed his hand and put it into the two palms of your hands.

"Taehyung...", you whispered still walking closer to him.

He was staring at the floor but didn't neglect his hand being surrounded by yours.

"It hurts me seeing you like this.", you were seeking eye contact but his gaze was straight focused onto the floor.

"It also hurts me seeing you like this. Crying all the time just because of me.", he was mumbling as usual making it hard for you to understand him.

But you did. And him saying this made you angry.

"We can make each other happy, Taehyung. We don't have to be sad about making each other sad! It could be so easy but we're making it unnecessarily difficult. And you know why?"

He sighed and looked up, he was actually looking everywhere but into your eyes. Obviously he didn't want to hear the next thing you were about to say but you had to.

"It's Krystal's fault. Well, not completely but without her we could've worked on our problems. She was trying to set us apart from the beginning and we were stupid enough to not notice it."

"She was trying to help me.", Taehyung shook his head and you let out a loud gasp.

Krystal had completely brainwashed him and you really had to hold yourself together to not go into the bedroom and smack her head off.

"Taehyung, you still don't realise? Do I need to start from zero so you can understand what's going on?"

Even though you had exchanged eye contact for a second now, he had decided to look away quickly. He seemed afraid and your task was it to prove him that the only person he should be afraid of was Krystal.

"Taehyung... tell me, why are you crying right now?"

His eyes widened and he took his hand out of yours. Slowly he stepped a step back. You wouldn't give up.

"I'm.. I don't know. I'm just sad.", he started playing with his fingernails showing that he was nervous.

"Why are you sad?"

"I don't know."

You sighed. This was harder than you thought. Taehyung always seemed to have gotten more confident since he got together with Krystal. Now you clearly saw that it all had been simply façade.

"Taehyung... I really understand that you're scared of the idea of us trying to get together again. To be honest, I'm scared too! We both have reasons. But you know what...", you stepped closer, so close that you could feel his hot breath stroking your cheek, "Why should we continue forcing ourselves to forget about each other? We clearly can't. Well I can't, but you seem to not be wanting to do that too. Taehyung, I love you. And you love me. Not everyone is lucky to have found mutual love. Let's take this chance and work on it. We could do it, as long as we're together."

Finally he was looking down at you, a little smile forming on his lips. For a second you thought you had convinced him, so you quickly decided to mark your words with a kiss. You put your hands on chest and tiptoed to get to the similar height.

At first he didn't kiss back, but that changed quickly. Soon his arms were wrapped around your waist, pressing you closer and closer against his body. You two had to stop kissing because you were smiling too much.

"I love you.", you whispered as he was stroking your hair.

He was about to reply when suddenly the door was opened harshly. Krystal.

Her eyes were wide open, and so was her mouth. Taehyung went a step back quickly and for a second all three of you had stopped breathing. Krystal's eyes were showing you so much hatred it actually quite shocked you.

"I'm going to call the police.", she laughed and picked up the phone.

Taehyung snapped the phone out of her hand, shaking his head. Krystal tried to get it out of his hand but Taehyung resisted and held the phone tightly.
The next thing Krystal did was something you would've never expected her to do.
She slapped him. Her slap was so intense that Taehyung even stumbled a bit backwards, stumbling into your arms.

Krystal was furious. She had to leave. Obviously you felt a bit of fear towards her, however you decided to be brave.

"Get out.", you said calmly when Taehyung had recovered from the shock and stood beside you.

Krystal was laughing again, this time even holding her hand on her stomach. Bad actress. The thing you hated the most about fights was when the other person was trying to make it look ridiculous. You hated it.

Taehyung was looking at you, you felt his gaze. Slowly you turned your head around to see that you were right. Just like before he still looked weak. Plus, his cheek was extremely red.

"Krystal I'm serious. Your sick game is over.", again your voice sounded very calm and stable. Not reflecting what was going on inside you at all.

"You? You want to tell me that my relationship with Taehyung is over? Really?", she was still laughing and acting as if you were the last piece of shit.

Looking at Taehyung only showed you that he didn't dare to say anything. So you had to take it into your own hands. Whatever you had to do to not let Taehyung fall into her hands again, you would do it.

"If you call this a relationship.", you crossed your arms and noticed that you had hit the right spot.

"What do you mean by that?", Krystal said, suddenly not laughing anymore.

"Don't you think it's a little pathetic to say that my relationship with Taehyung was fake when your relationship was you only clinging onto him. Trying desperately to make him fall for you, trying to make him forget about the girl he actually loved. A bit pathetic, don't you think?", you couldn't hide your smirk even though it ached you to be that mean. Whatever, you were right.

Taehyung was also surprised which you could hear by his gasp. But it also seemed to have waken him up since he stepped a bit closer towards Krystal now.

"Krystal... I'm thankful that you helped me in times when I felt lonely. I am. But, I can't deny how hurt I am now. Because now I realise how much I didn't want to be with you. Whenever I was trying to get away from you, you made me feel guilty. I felt like I was obliged to stay with you. But I don't want to. I don't belong to you. There is another guy who you belong to and who belongs to you. And that guy is not me.", Taehyung's raspy voice sounded calm aswell.

Looking over to Krystal after Taehyung's touching words hurt you too. Her eyes were teary. Even though you didn't want to, you felt a little sorry too. But it was right like that. Taehyung and you belonged together.

"You're not breaking up with me after all I've done for you, Taehyung.", she was shaking her head and started sobbing.

"Krystal... I'm sorry.", Taehyung sounded really honest but was interrupted by Krystal.

"She's saying I manipulated you, but actually she's doing it. You love me Taehyung.", she was still sobbing.

Loudly you sighed. You couldn't stand seeing her any longer. She had to leave, now.

"Krystal... I don't love you. And you don't love me.", Taehyung grabbed her shoulders.

"Of course I love you!", she yelled at him and if Taehyung hadn't stepped back she would've hit his cheek again.

"No you don't. You're simply obsessed over him.", you said in a neutral voice.

Her eyes caught yours and again you saw all the hate. She was jealous. Just like you had been jealous on her.

"Taehyung... don't fall into her hands again! Remember what you had to go through because of her!", she was yelling at him again.

"I know what I'm doing.", he said quietly.

"No, you don't! Taehyung this is your last chance, send her away!", it was as if she had realised that her pathetic acting wouldn't help. So she had to use the aggressive way again.

"Leave."

His deep voice was the last thing before you fell into a complete silence. Krystal raised her eyebrows. This was not what she had counted with.

"This is a mistake. Next week you'll come crawling back to me again! Don't you remember all the times you were crying because of her? All the times she hurt you? Is she really worth it to go through hell again? You're even dumber than I thought, Taehyung. Getting back with her will be your karma for leaving me after all we've been through. You'll see. Don't come back when you're at the ground again. I warned you. But you're too stupid!", she was laughing and grabbing her stuff in the living room.

Taehyung and you were standing in the doorframe of the kitchen, watching her mumbling words and laughing inbetween. Not like before Taehyung was now really stiff and he had gotten quiet. You hoped Krystal hadn't made him think the wrong things again.

"You-", Krystal pointed at you as she was about to leave, "You're a bitch. A wrong selfish bitch. And you Taehyung... you're the dumbest boy I've ever met.", and with these words she closed the door.

She had left.

You and Taehyung were still standing in the same position, not looking at each other. Not like before the situation felt tense. You wanted to go over to him and hug him. Tell him how happy you were. But it seemed wrong. It didn't seem that he was happy.

With heavy feet he walked back into the kitchen and poured himself a shot of vodka. As you saw him grabbing the bottle you quickly walked over to him.

"Don't drink.", you whispered as you were standing right behind him.

As you were saying it he didn't bother to stop filling the glass. Before you could stop him he had chugged his shot already.
He was standing calmly and you wanted to hug him. The urge of hugging him became so strong that you finally decided to put your arms around his waist. You laid your head on his shoulder.

"Do you also want a shot?", his voice sounded even rougher than before. It scared you a little.

"No."

He poured himself another shot but this time you took the glass out of his hand.

"I need to drink.", he was reaching out for the glass but you spilled the vodka into the sink.

Even though you were scared he might get aggressive he didn't. Just like before he was still very calm.

"Don't drink.", you mumbled as you grabbed the bottle and emptied the whole bottle.

Taehyung was too tired to react and went into the living room. As you had thrown the bottle into the trash bin you followed him. He was sitting on the couch.

"You have to go home."
