Still With You ?

"I don’t want those memories again... please," he begged, his voice trembling with vulnerability. "Just let me forget... just let me be free..."

But the memories didn’t stop. They never did. They haunted him, a constant reminder of everything he had lost, everything he could never have again. And as he sat there, alone in the darkness, he felt the weight of it all—the pain, the regret, the loneliness—crushing him until he could barely breathe.

"Please..." he whispered one last time, his voice barely a breath, as if the world itself could hear his plea. But there was no answer. Only silence. And the ache in his chest that never seemed to go away.

He slowly closed his eyes, he stayed like that, finally he unknowingly slept.

With jin

Jin arrived at the mansion, his steps heavy with exhaustion but his mind still racing with thoughts of Jungkook. As he entered the living room, he found Taehyung sprawled on the floor, surrounded by sketches, fabric swatches, and a half-finished model of what looked like a futuristic building. Tae’s tongue was poking out in concentration as he carefully glued a tiny piece of material onto the model.

“Tae,” Jin called softly, not wanting to startle him.

Tae looked up, his face lighting up with a bright smile. “Hyung! You’re back!” He set down the glue and scrambled to his feet, nearly knocking over the model in the process. “Careful!” Jin said, rushing forward to steady it. “You’ve been working on this all day, haven’t you?"

Tae grinned sheepishly. “Yeah, I got inspired after class. Jimin said my last design was ‘too chaotic,’ so I’m trying to make this one more… structured.” He gestured to the model, which was a mix of sleek lines and bold shapes. “What do you think?”

Jin studied it for a moment, a small smile tugging at his lips. “It’s… definitely unique. But I like it. It’s very you.”

Tae beamed, clearly pleased with the compliment. “Thanks, Hyung! I’m calling it ‘The Starfall Tower.’ It’s supposed to represent the beauty of chaos and order coexisting.”

Jin chuckled, ruffling Tae’s hair. “You and your poetic names. Just make sure it doesn’t collapse like last time.”

Tae pouted, crossing his arms. “Hey, that was one time! And it was Jimin’s fault for distracting me.”

Jin laughed, the sound w.arm and comforting. “Sure, blame Jimin. Where is he, by the way?”

“He went home after dropping Kookie off,” Tae said, his expression softening. “Speaking of Kookie… he went straight to his room when we got back. He looked really tired.”

Jin’s smile faded, replaced by a look of concern. “I’ll go check on him. You keep working on your masterpiece, but don’t stay up too late, okay? Btw did you eat?”

Tae nodded, already turning back to his model. “nae hyung I ate and I’ll finish this last part and then go to bed. What about you? Did you eat?”

Jin gace tae and a smile and nooded " I ate what about kook?"

"He said he wasn't hungry, I insisted him many times but he kept saying he wasn't hubry" tae said

"Hmm,I'll go and check on him" Jin said and went.

As he approached Jungkook’s room, he heard the faint sound of running water—the shower. He paused outside the door, his hand hovering over the knob. He wanted to check on Jungkook, to make sure he was okay, but he didn’t want to intrude. Instead, he leaned against the wall, waiting.
