하루만 ~ Just One Day (Taejoon)

Just One Day

All of us hit his back in praise and Jin hyung crossed his arms and started sulking. We all laugh at Jin hyung's reaction. Namjoon hyung goes and hugs him, "Whom are we kidding? He's our real maknae," he says and all of us collectively go tackle him into a hug.

Jin hyung's face beams as he hugs us back. "You rascals, you guys don't even give me a chance to be angry at you all."

All of us sit up on the bed and enjoy the evening sun. "So what's with the sudden meetup?" Jimin asks. My smile drops and dread takes over me. I totally forgot that I was the one who asked to meet all of them.

"Not sure, Taehyung called me, like after months and coincidentally Jungkook and Yoongi hyung were together and so was Hobi and Jiminie. Jin hyung came to visit me at the gas station and we were all heading towards the restaurant that Hobi worked at when I got the call. When we entered we saw all 4 of you there, so I thought why not." Namjoon hyung explained.

I remain silent, and Hobi hyung speaks up, "So why did you want to meet us Tae?"

"Should I really tell?" I ask silently.

No one responds, everyone look at each other not knowing how to respond. I sigh and close my eyes, I open my mouth to say something.

"No you don't, if it's too hard, write it down somewhere. Like a letter, give it to someone, let them read. But if you don't want to tell, then don't. You are not forced to say something that you don't want to Taehyung," Jin hyung interrupts me, he looks at me and I face him.

The look in his eyes, although kind, why do I feel like he knows?

"That actually is a good idea, Taehyung-ah," Jimin chips in as he rests his head on my shoulder.

A letter huh? That sounds like a good idea to me.

I flash them a smile,and try to convince them that I'm okay, "Yeah if I wanna say something I'll do that. But mainly, I missed you guys. Haven't seen all of you in a long time." I say and look at Namjoon hyung, who clearly sees through my bullshit.

He looks unimpressed, but he's one to speak. Since he's the one who threw away what we could've had.

He's one to speak, cause he's the one who hates confrontation.

"Why do you keep vandalizing?" Namjoon asks Taehyung, who's spray painting a closed store shutter.

First it was of random colors, now he's using black spray paint over it, making a figure.

Namjoon is standing in front of the shutter, a lollipop in his mouth and he's just admiring how concentrated Taehyung looks. 

Whom he is trying to fool, he always admires Taehyung.

Always.

Namjoon moves forward and turns to face the shutter, and looks at the "art". There are different colors and on top of it a black figurine with colorful wings. He keeps looking at it, trying to figure it out.

"What's the point of this?" he finally asks Taehyung. Taehyung hums, steps back and looks at Namjoon. "I'm not trying to make a point, I'm just trying to make sense. Like look at these random colors. I didn't plan them to be wings, but after I made the figure, they looked like wings. So as I continue spraying, the more sense I make. I hope," he explains.

Namjoon is taken aback, he looks at the younger who is usually so carefree, and here he is expressing himself through art. He wishes Taehyung got better opportunities where he could express himself better and people will appreciate it. Not like this, like a thief, on someone else's property.
