Two weeks later
Jungkook P.O.V

The last two weeks were surprisingly, okay for Jungkook. Despite the fact that every night he went to sleep thinking about that one amazing night he had with a certain hyung. He was doing okay, once they first got home Jungkook had a melt down and explained everything to Seokjin.

Being the good roommate that he was, Jin made sure to keep Jungkook busy and fed. Today was no different.

"Wake up Kook! It's time to eat-Jin!"

"Nghh-hyung just give me another half hour. I have a headache" Jungkook groaned when he saw it was only 7:15 on a Sunday.

"Nope! Food is exactly what you need, besides we're meeting Jimin and Yoongi today remember?"

Fuck. Jungkook totally forgot that they made plans to go furniture shopping with Jimin and Yoongi. They too had been obsessed with checking on Jungkook and Tae. After what they witnessed from the taxi, the two haven't really stopped talking about them.

"Ugh, guess I'm gonna shower. I'll be down out in a bit"

Taehyung P.O.V

Tae hasn't exactly had the same luck as Jungkook. In fact the last two weeks of his life have been hell. He doesn't know why he thought that once Jungkook left he would be able to go back to normal. Tae found himself not even able to look at Bogum for too long without wanting to cry.

FLASHBACK - 2 years ago

Tae and Bogum had gotten super drunk one night after Bogum scored another lead role in a film. The newly wed couple had been living in the honeymoon phase basically since they started dating a year ago. Not a single fight outside of mindless bickering. Tonight was different..

Taehyung was feeling especially vulnerable after their wedding. Despite his weird behavior, Bogum brushed it off as probably home sickness. They had eloped and didn't have any friends or family at the wedding. Once Bogum decided Tae had too much to drink, he called them a taxi and escorted his husband home.

Taehyung was furious that his husband treated him like such a child. Bogum practically dragged him out of the club by the collar of his shirt and that really pissed him off.

"You know something, Bogum? I am a grown man. I'm allowed to get drunk from time to time you know."

"Tae please don't. I'm not going to have a fight with you less than a week after our wedding." Bogum scoffed before walking upstairs

"Maybe that's the problem! You NEVER want to fight. You NEVER want to be embarrassed or weird. You want everything to be fucking perfect. Well SORRY I don't fit your picture perfect image Bogum" Taehyung spat weigh a pout

"TAEHYUNG WHAT THE HELL. I don't ask you to be perfect but FUCK I'm still a celebrity ya know. As are you. Cameras are everywhere. I get questioned by management every time something potentially controversial com—"

"DON'T. God just fucking don't." Tae shouted before storming outside the house and sitting on the porch. Whispering to himself "if I knew I would have still end up married to a man that cared more about his career than our happiness.. I wouldn't have left.." but what Tae didn't know was that Bogum was right behind him.

"W-what did you just s-say?" Stuttering, trying to understand what his new husband just said

Tae's eyes opened wide at the realization that Bogum heard him. "Nothing Bogum. Please just give me a minute." Giving him a cold glare before turning his head back to the street.

Bogum felt his heart clench in his chest. Tae didn't have to say what he meant for Bogum to understand. It all made sense. Still, he knew Tae was drunk. So he decided from that day to never make Tae look at him like that again.

END FLASHBACK

Tae felt sick to his stomach remembering that first real fight he and Bogum had. The way he basically told his husband that he would have chose someone else. Tae was surprised that Bogum hadn't asked him anything, at all about his time with BTS. Bogum hadn't mentioned Jungkook's name a single time since they left.

Walking back inside his house he saw Bogum sitting on the floor, holding a camera that was doning a camera strap that Tae recognized the moment he saw it.

"What are you doing Bogum?"

"Why is this here?"

"Jungkook must've left it. Why are you going through it?"

Bogum took a deep breath "Tae.. why are there so many pictures of you? Old and recent. W-Why do you guys look like a couple in some of these?" Bogum was doing his best not to assume the worst but it was hard. Especially after how Tae had been acting.

Tae is floored. He didn't know of any pictures other than a few Jin snapped when they were swimming. He knew he needed to dissolve this quick. "I-I don't know, honest. I didn't know there were pictures of me on there. Jin took a few of us at the pool Saturday but that's all I knew of." He started rubbing his nape.

Bogum just stood up and sat the camera on their coffee table. Walking over to his husband and kissing his forehead. "Please just tell me it's not what I'm thinking. Tell me that my worst nightmare isn't coming true. Tell me you aren't leaving me for him.."

Again Tae found himself floored. One part of him saw this as an opportunity to come clean. Tell the truth about everything and start over. But the other part of him saw Bogum. His husband, nearing a mental breakdown and damn it Tae just couldn't handle that.

"Bogumie.. it's not what you're thinking. Jungkookie was my best friend my entire time with BTS but that's all. I'm yours." Tae said in a whisper. Not sure if he was convincing Bogum or himself.

Bogum smiled into a chaste kiss. "I love you so much Taehyung." Right then Tae felt his heart break, again.

Thankfully Jimin saved him by calling right at that moment.

"I'll let you get that, I have plans with some guys from the set today. I'll see you later okay?"

Tae just hummed in response.

"Hey Jiminie."

"Taetae!!! Have you decided when you're coming to Korea?"

Damn it. This is not what Tae needs right now. "Umm no I haven't... things haven't been so good here. Im not sure if I'll be able to make it when I plann-"

Jimin cut him off "Kim Taehyung absolutely not. WE PROMISED. If you don't come to Korea we will come there. We aren't losing you again." Tae could hear the stern tone and it made him laugh.

"Park. Jimin. My surname is Park. and I guess since you're so desperate to see me. I'll look on my calendar and see what Bogum has going on. I'll text you okay?"

Silence.

"Jimin??"

"Tae, are you bringing Bogum with you?"

"I wasn't planning on it, just if he has something going on in Seoul we might as well fly together."

"Mmm.. alrighty"

What was that about? "Why?"

"No reason. Just didn't know if Yoongs and I should prepare for two guests or one.." liar "text me okay! We're meeting up with Kookie and Jin right now."

Tae felt his heart skip a beat at the mention of Jungkook. Going to Korea meant seeing him again.

"Okay, bye Jiminie."

Tae sat in his own thoughts for awhile. Replaying the last two weeks. Replaying that night. Replaying his feelings four years ago.

I'm closing this chapter.

I'm going to Korea, getting my closure with Jungkook and I will be a better husband.

He smiled at his revelation but first, I'm going to look at these pictures.

He gulped before grabbing Jungkook's camera. Letting his fingers run over the embroidery on the strap Tae bought for Jungkook's birthday so many years ago. Slightly blushing at the thought that the younger really did keep it.

Here goes nothing.
