the two enjoyed the silence that the day's ending brought.

"taehyung?"

"hmm?"

"what if this ends?"

"it won't. i promise."

sometimes you shouldn't promise what you can't fullfil in the end.

"i didn't think it would end like this!"

"stop yelling at me! we both knew it was in ruins since the begining!"

"you're right, it's my fault for going along with this bullshitted plan. happy family my ass!"

he slammed the apartment door and marched down the hall to the elevator.

"don't even bother coming back! you can no longer call this place your home!"

"as if i'd care. it's all in ruins, right?"

once the elevator doors closed he leaned his back against the wall and slid down holding his head in his hands.

the little broken ring of the elevator dinged telling that the elevator has done its job to taking the angered man to the first floor.

feeling his weight heavy on his legs, he struggled to stand straight and walk out without stumbling.

of course he was pissed.

after work, he got to the apartment and found the one he thought was the love of his life active in his once called home with another guy while the place looked like a after-party mess with empty alcohol bottles and drug stains all over the floor and furniture.

he finally stumbled out the building and headed back to his car.

"please answer."

he frustratedly held the phone against his ear and bit his lip harshly.

"tae? are you okay? what's wrong?"

"jimin."

he finally broke down into a choked sob.

"i-i knew she was with another guy. b-but i still trusted her."

"i told you to drop her."

the other man's voice sounded sympathetic, and meaning no harm. yet his words seemed to trigger his friend's pain even more.

"can w-we hang out for a bit?"

the man sighed over the other line and a side conversation was muffled.

"i'm sorry taehyung, but i promised hoseok i would take care of him today."

it did anger taehyung that his friend decided to choose his boyfriend over him, but he understood since he also did the same when he was with her.

"jungkook had asked me earlier today if i had any plans, maybe you can check if he's free."

taehyung hummed and ended the call after bidding good bye.

he looked for the latter's contact and contemplated on calling him.

if fate was real, it would explain why he was receiving a call from the younger before he decided to dial.

"h-hello?"

he tried to not sound broken and vulnerable.

"taetae..."

keyword- tried.
