Don't Hide

It Hurt

“I__ I didn’t see Mr. Jeon lately, is he__ I mean__”

“I think he’s in the other hotel, he told the producer that he’ll be back soon”

Taehyung hum flashing a small smile at the girl in the reception, he bow his head slightly turning to walk away, slow steps not knowing where to go exactly…

He greet some guests who’s been smiling at him noticing for the first time the busy movement in the hotel, more people started to come, it’s almost crowded and he smile half bitterly half tiredly; he sigh ruffling his hair, he wish Yoongi or Joonmyun were with him or Hoseok or Jimin or any face familiar to him

He feel so lonely lately, it just suffocate him; he miss so many things and he seriously wondering if anything will be back like before…

“Tae”

Taehyung pauses looking up at a red Jimin shifting nervously on his feet, Taehyung’s heart clenches in his chest trying not to break into tears right there in front of strangers “Jimin” His voice was shaky despite him trying to control it

Jimin smile a little, eyes gentle and apologizing “I’m___ I___”

Taehyung closes the distance between them taking the shorter into his arms and squeezing the life out of him, he breathe in deep trying to calm his trembling body “Jimin god i was jus thinking in you”

“Tae are you ok?”

Jimin’s voice was soft and worried, arms coming up to hold the taller’s lean body and Taehyung smile, eyes burning with unshed tears “I’m sorry Jimin, I’m really sorry”

“Hey why are you sorry for? I’m the one who should apologize and explain to you so many things” Jimin muffle, voice cracking up at the edge

“It’s ok” Taehyung pulled away smiling “Just let it go, I missed you”

Jimin stare at him for a while before ducking his head down, shoulders shaking with silent tears

“Come with me” Taehyung pulled him away from the curious stares, walking back up to his room and inside the comfort privacy of it, he make Jimin sit on one of the chairs in the balcony “Hey, are you going to stay silent?”

“I don’t know what to say” Jimin mumble, head still hanging down, an embarrassed flush tainting his face

“Tell me how have you been? What have you been doing? And anything, tell me anything, I want to hear everything” Taehyung scoot closer to him, watching him intently

Jimin met his eyes, just staring for a moment before sighing “You look different”

“No I’m not” Taehyung frown leaning back in offense

Jimin take a deep breath muttering “You do”

“No I don’t”

“Yes you do” Jimin point at his nose and Taehyung go crossed eyed to look at the pointed finger

“No I don’t” Taehyung pout, blinking up at Jimin

Jimin giggle, moving his hand to cup the taller’s face brushing a gentle finger on his cheek “I missed you too, a lot”

Taehyung soften, covering Jimin’s hand with his “You suddenly disappeared”

“I was afraid” Jimin retreated his hand, clasping his two hands in his lap, eyes twinkling with tears

“You know you shouldn’t be”

“I know, you were probably going to welcome me with open arms” Jimin didn’t look at him, keeping his eyes on his hands “But I couldn’t forgive myself or Jungkook”
