When Taehyung met and befriended a certain Jung Hoseok in middle school, he knew then that his one true love was Hoseok. When Hoseok met a Kim Taehyung at age twelve, he knew he'll find his one true love one day with Taehyung.

"You're killing your liver,"

"She's killed my soul!," Hoseok wails, as he slams the fourth bottle of beer on the counter, sobbing like a baby. Taehyung, who has his temple resting on his hand as he faces Hoseok, lets out a sigh. "I'm not sure about that, but I'm pretty sure you'll kill your liver,"

"She was the one, Taehyung. Sunni was the one!"

"So were Natasha Noona from seventh grade, Miss Song from eighth grade, Ha Ni from ninth grade, Minji, MinHa and JanDi from tenth grade, SoJi, JiYoon, Ga Eul from eleventh grade, SungMi, Sara, the coffee shop girl, the lingerie store girl, Yoona from twelveth grade, and now Dara, JongShi and Sunni from college," Taehyung countered, his voice calm but his tongue filled with a bitter taste. He could remember each and every time his heart broke when Hoseok claimed he was in love, again.

He knew it was stupid to wait on the sidelines for so long, but what could he do? His friend clearly crushed only on girls, and he was so so in love with him, he didn't want to lose him and go through the toughest heartbreak. Somehow he'd managed to keep up all these years, numb himself to the pain whipped onto him by Hoseok's wandering, unstable heart. He knew the history of Hoseok with each and every girl mentioned above, and he wonders where he finds the strength everyday to fight it out.

Of course, its Hoseok's smiles. Hoseok's hugs when he meets him, hugs that last longer than they do with other friends. Touches that aren't even shared between the closest of friends, which electrify Taehyung's skin each time. Constant support whenever he's down, free hugs whenever he demands, on call whenever he wants- Taehyung feels special, and he hopes his hyung is just confused.

But even after so many heartaches if he can't realize it, was there any hope really left?

"I don't think I can live with any more rejection," Hoseok mutters, clearly drunk.

You've rejected me so many times, but I am alive and standing by your side, aren't I? Standing even when you shoot through my heart each time, and break it every time yours breaks. Am I not standing tall?

"Come on, I'll take you home," Taehyung says, as he puts a few bills on the counter and nods to the bartender. He picks up Hoseok and wounds his arm across his shoulder.

Hoseok leans into his touch, and hugs him. "TaeTaeeeeee~," he sings.

Taehyung rolls his eyes. He wants a piggy back ride. He sits down as Hoseok climbs on, and ignores the stares of the onlookers as he passes by them. Hoseok is more important than those judging stares.

It starts to drizzle as they go outside the club. Just their luck.

"Tae~," Hoseok sings again. "Look, even the skies are crying on me, I'm such a fool,"

The skies are clearly crying for me, the fool who's waited for you too long.

Taehyung walks silently, as Hoseok keeps on mumbling and singing about Sunni and how pretty she is and how nice she was and how she was the one, again.
