ーtaehyung had barely woken up before a throbbing pain overtook his head, groaning in pure exhaustion before duvet further above his head. that moment barely lasted before taehyung put the duvet down again, gasping a sudden intake of air. 

 his pounding head and the dehydrated feeling of exhaustion made him figure that he must've drunk heavily the night before. the vomit taste on his tongue had still been there. it had seemed like hours before taehyung managed to sit up, eyeing the glass of water beside him in confusion. he blinked his eyes a few times before the blurriness of his eyesight began to go away, recognizing that he was in his room. 

how? did jungkook bring me here?

taehyung grabbed the glass of water beside him, drinking the entire glass within a few seconds in desperation. he gasped before putting the glass of water back on his bedside table, simultaneously dangling his legs off the edge of his bed. 

a part of him wondered where jungkook went. it had been quiet per usual. although taehyung held a grudge, a small part of him still hoped that jungkook would be beside him when he woke up. 

although a big part of him had already known that jungkook would ignore him as much as possible after his confession the other night. 

taehyung stood up from his bed, his eyes barely open as he left the room in dizziness.  although his head hurt, he was still able to make out the fact that he was alone in the small complex. 

sighing, taehyung had already been back on his bed within a few seconds. 

he didn't know how long he slept after that. 

-

jungkook shivered as he wrapped his coat closer around himself, the coldness of the air giving goosebumps on his skin. his teeth lightly chattered as he looked at the dull grey sky, sighing in exhaustion. maybe it was a shitty move for him leaving taehyung in a terrible state. 

the boy had already been going through enough; why was jungkook doing this to him?

he didn't know the answer himself. 

jungkook sighed as he saw the familiar store he has been staring at for the past few weeks, yet having no guts to go in the shop itself. the neon sign stood out compared to all the shops near it, feeling relieved as he finally stepped into the shop itself. 

"glad to see you again jeon," a man said, jungkook immediately smiling in ease. "hey minho. I think today is the day." jungkook couldn't keep the smile off of his face. 

"did you figure out a design you wanted?"

jungkook nodded his head instead of responding with words. 

-

"I think it's done. do you like it?" minho asked cautiously.

jungkook looked at the small inked drawing of saturn that sat on his thumb, surrounded by multiple stars. below the planet, the letters 'kt' were written, making jungkook give a sad smile before brushing his fingers against his thumb. 

"I really love it. thank you minho," jungkook said softly, the sadness evident in his voice. 

"I don't really know whether it is a dark topic for you or not, but I was wondering why you wanted to have a small picture of saturn on your thumb?" minho asked cautiously and jungkook finally looked up. 

"I made the choice of leaving someone who meant the world to me. he always had glitter in his hair and paint on his clothes." minho stared at jungkook with confused eyes before jungkook took another deep breath. "he always had glitter in his hair and whenever he smiled, it felt like my head started to spin. I don't exactly know why I chose saturn as the planet. maybe it is because saturn is my favorite planet in the solar system, and the stars here represent the glitter he always has in his hair no matter how many times he washed his hair." jungkook didn't realize he was smiling. 

"I broke him. I don't know why I got a tattoo that reminded me of him on my finger. maybe it's to remind me every day how shitty of a person I am whenever I look at it." the brunette laughed at his own words, and minho could see the pain and regret by looking into his eyes. 

"jungkook, I never had any experience in love myself but take my word. if you love him, don't let him go. it's one of the worst things you could ever do not only to him but to yourself as well."

luckily no other customers came into that tattoo parlor that day because jungkook didn't know how long he spent his day there crying.
