“Everyone, gather around.” The trainer said, catching all the soldier’s attention.

Tae stood up on his feet, but he was feeling so down today. He hasn’t seen Jungkook yet, even after a week.

And now, he’s leaving.

He felt like crying. But he couldn’t.—

“As you all know, Captain Jeon just got married. He did a great job on the field and everything — and now, its time to have time for himself,”

The trainer said, Tae saw Jungkook standing in the front, but he did not look at him.

Or else, he knew he’ll burst into tears.—

“He’s leaving to the US. But it won’t be long, he’ll be back in a week. For now, he’s here to give his temporary farewell speech.”

Jungkook stood forward, replacing the trainer. He took a look at his people, and then Taehyung.

He felt an ache in his heart.

“Just two more weeks to go, and you’re gonna be the soldier you’re made to be. I have no more else to say, but whatever happens — choose to protect your country, as you’ll also protect your family.”

Everyone clapped at his short speech, until then, everything went to normal.—

Tae went back to his bench since it was a water break. He kept practicing taekwondo since its their last training.

But actually, he just wanted to distract himself.

He feel so angry, so sad and everything.

He didn’t want to cry, he hated himself for being so weak.—

“Tae, you should take a rest first.” Hoseok commented. He obeyed him because his legs were feeling quite exhausted.

He sat on the bench and Hoseok looked down to his bowing face. “Are you okay?—“

With that three words, Tae bursted in tears.—

“Oh my, I’m sorry—did I say something wrong?” Hoseok was quite startled since its the first time he saw a man crying.

Tae immediately wiped his tears. “No, youre not on fault. I just got something on my eye, haha.” He faked a laugh, but Hoseok knew he wasn’t okay.

“Tae, you can talk to me okay?” He said and caressed his back. He’s not good at words, but listening...of course.

Tae shook his head while keeping a smile on his face.

“Hey! I’m fine! I’ll just go to the washroom, I’ll be quick.” He quickly stood up and ram away.—

As soon as he knew people couldn’t see him anymore, he hid himself behind a wall and started crying hard.

“Why am I like this? Why am I so weak? Fuck you self! Can you atleast stop being a cry baby for once?!” He exclaimed, but quiet enough for people not to hear him.—

Just as he thought he’s gonna be okay, a pair of hands snatched him into a dark alley.

Tae was shouting in panic, but it’s useless since his mouth was covered with a hand.

“MRFHRDHAJD!” He cried.

Is he being kidnapped again? Oh god, not again please.—

“Hyung...” he immediately stopped when the person whispered. “Its me, Jungkook.”

He can feel his breath near his ear, and with just that voice — its enough to make Tae weak on his knees, and for tears to fall again.

Jungkook slowly let go of his mouth and faced Tae.—
