"Nothing.." Taehyung uttered and looked away. Jungkook just shrugged.

"I'm going." Jungkook said and he left.

Taehyung pulled his knees... He's alone again. He hid his face on his knees.

He can taste blood from his gums.. but he just ignored it. It happens most of the time now.

He was more petite and pale than usual but Jungkook didn't even notice. He took his phone when he felt blood running through his nose. He called someone.

"Noona, Can you come over?" He asked, voice weak. He just wanted to cry at the moment.

"Taehyung-ssi? Are you okay?" Jieun asked from the other side of the call. Worry laces on her voice.

"I don't want to be alone." Taehyung said, tears brimming on the corner of his eyes. He was just wiping off the blood running from his nose.

"I'll be there... Take your medicine, okay?"

Taehyung hummed and end the call.

Jieun more known as IU and Taehyung became close friends, Only Jieun and Yoongi know about Taehyung's illness... He never wanted anyone else to know, especially Jungkook.

Their other members are aware of Taehyung's body changes but they thought it was only because of stress. And he was wearing long sleeves all the time that's why his bruises can't be seen.

~~~~~~~

"Are you sure about keeping this from Jungkook?" Jieun asked.

Taehyung nodded slowly. "I don't want him to worry." He said, sadness can be feel from his voice but he wore a blank expression.

"Shouldn't he be? He's your boyfriend. And how did he didn't notice the changes in you? Does he even care for you?" Jieun said, mad at the fact that Jungkook doesn't even notice that his own boyfriend is getting weaker.

"He does... He's just busy."

"Busy for what? Too busy to even look at you so he could notice you're getting petite?"

Taehyung lowered his head.

"Taehyung, please... Tell him, you need to. He's your boyfriend, he should know what's going on with you." Jieun said, half begging.

Taehyung took a deep breath and smiled. "Right... I shouldn't keep things from him." He said.

"Tell him tonight, okay? You need someone that can take care of you every time... And I'm not that someone. I can't always be by your side even if I want to."

Taehyung nodded.

"And Taehyung, please agree on doing chemotherapy treatment.. fight for yourself please." Jieun begged, she held Taehyung's hand. "There's a lot of people that still loves you, you have your family, friends, and fans.. you can't give up."

"I'll asked Jungkook's permission first." Taehyung said.

~~~~~~~

Taehyung was there, standing by the window waiting for Jungkook to come home. He gathered enough courage to finally tell him about his leukemia.

He doesn't want Jungkook to worry but he shouldn't keep it to himself. He should tell him himself rather than Jungkook knowing it by his own.

He was nervously tapping his feet when he heard a car parked outside. It was Jimin's car.

"I should say hello." Taehyung uttered before taking his cardigan and went outside. It was already night, so cold developed the area.

When he opened the door, he froze on his feet on what he saw. His eyes started blurring because of the tears triggering to fall from his eyes.

He kissed him.

He immediately close the door and ran to the room. He closed the door and locked it. Tears are escaping from his eyes.

'It was just a kiss on the cheek.. it's just a friendly kiss' Taehyung thought, rather than saying.. he's more like convincing himself.

He feel like it's illegal to see what he just saw. He cried silently in the corner of the room, stopping himself from making sobbing sounds.

He then heard a knock on the door.

"Hyung? Are you still awake?" It was Jungkook.

They share the same room.. it's natural for Jungkook to come in. And it's unusual for Taehyung to lock himself in.

Jungkook was feeling tense.. why would Taehyung lock their room?

He then remember that Taehyung asked if Bogum can come over to their house. Jungkook immediately grabbed his spare keys and opened the door. 

He calmed down when he saw only Taehyung laying on their bed, back facing him.

"He must have fallen asleep and forgot to unlock the door." Jungkook uttered. He shrugged and went to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Taehyung was holding his cries.. trying to breath normally as he can. He wrapped himself on the thick blanket.

"Is this how we're going to end?" He whispered. Closing his eyes and forcing himself to sleep.
