"Sorry for not showing up the other day", I said while sitting down with Jackson at a random table.

"It's fine, but is everything okay?", he asked.

I sat there silently while staring at the table. I was about to answer his question, until Hoseok came over to us.

"Can I sit with you guys?", he asked.

Jackson and I nodded with a soft smile. Hoseok sat next to me.

"We've never hanged out before", Hoseok said.

"Yeah, well maybe we should start, I need more friends anyways", Jackson said.

Hoseok smiled and nodded.

"Hoseok..sorry about the other day..", I said while looking down.

"What do you mean?", he asked.

"For crying so much, I'm such a weakling, huh?"

"Yah, don't say that, you cried because you've been holding it in, you just needed to let it out"

"Wait, what happened?", Jackson asked.

I let out a deep sigh.

"It's complicated", I said.

Jungkook's POV

"Where's Hoseok?", Yoongi asked.

I shrugged my shoulders while staring at the empty chair in front of me. Ever since the incident, Tae has been ignoring everyone from the group chat, Jin is even ignoring me too.

Hoseok hasn't been with us either. Our group is falling apart...and it's all because of me.

But Tae is going to come back. I know already. He's going to come back with that cute boxy smile of his.

He's going to run up to me like he usually does and give me that bright smile. He's going to tell me to try the things he bought for me or tell me that he made something special for me.

He is going to come back...he has to come back...he needs to come back.

Jimin has also gotten quiet ever since Tae hasn't talked to us. I mean, he did talk to Tae everyday.

Tae is like a happy pill. Every time he's here, the whole group would be full of laughter or smiles. But now..it's just sad. It was quiet, too quiet. Nobody was talking to each other or even looking at each other.

It's weird to say this but...I do miss Tae.

Taehyung's POV

"Come to my place if you want", Hoseok said while grabbing my bag from me.

"Yah, I can hold my own things, you know"

He shrugged his shoulders and slung my bag over his shoulder.

"But just come over, I know you're still down about the other day and I want to make you happy"

I looked down while thinking about it.

"Come on", he whined.

"I-I don't really know, I don't really go to people's places"

"Well then maybe you can just come to mine, come on Tae, I'm really lonely since I live alone and I know you're still upset, so let me comfort you"

"Jungkook said I'm just trying to get attention from people, like making them feel bad for me and-"

He cut me off.

"Don't listen to what he said, you got it? He's being a jackass, but if you're trying to say that you're being a burden to me...well Tae you're not, if I said I want to comfort you, then that means I want to comfort you, so let's go", he said and grabbed my hand.

Jungkook's POV

I watched Hoseok grab Tae's hand and walked him to somewhere. I stared at them until they were gone. I let out a deep sigh and leaned back onto the car seat. I ran my fingers through my hair.

"Why did I follow them?"

I looked at the bracelet Tae gave me on my wrist and started playing with it with my other hand.

I let out another sigh and leaned my head back. I closed my eyes while thinking about the incident the other day.

I've never seen Tae cry or get that angry before. Did I take it too far when I said he was just trying to get attention? I mean, now that I think about it, I feel bad. I feel really bad when he mentioned his parents.

I didn't know Tae had that side of him..the sad and upsetting side. He was always so happy and cheerful.

"But now look, you've lost him, we've also might've lost him...I hope you're happy Jungkook"

I'm not happy...I'm not happy at all.

We didn't lose him...

I didn't lose him...please tell me I didn't.
