Taehyung had his head laid on his pillow as he's body was laid on the comforting bed,hand clutching into the sheets under him tightly between his fingers

He stared at the table beside his bed, his eyes gazing over the familiar white bottle in front of his eyes. He kept observing it, memories being woken in his mind the more he watched

The hand around his white bed sheets gripped it tighter when the memories kept showing up, eyebrows furrowed and eyes low as the bottle got away from his sight when it was grabbed from the table

It was Jimin

"Did you take it?"

The friend told, holding into the white bottle in his hands as he stared at the tired boy laid on the bed under his eyes. He watched as the other tiredly nodded, eyes still fixed on the place where the bottle stood on the table

Jimins gaze softened as he sighed before making his way to sit beside the others legs, Taehyung felt the precense of the other beside his legs as he continued staring at the empty table

"It's not an enemy Taehyung, it's your friend now"

He told hushed, as he observed the way Taehyungs eyebrows softened up as the wet liquid had traveled down his cheek, passing by his mouth as he listened to Jimins words, not being able to let them in

The memories were blocking them out, not letting them inside to finally understand. To finally let go of the burden holding itself closed behind bars, yet not finding it's way out to finally leave him in peace

He wished it was easier, easier like Jimin saw it. But it wasn't, it was harder that they thought, harder that he thought and he truly wished it to be the way they had all thought

"I can't be friends with something that doesn't want to be"

The blue haired said, the tear slipping down his sorrowful eyes. Not daring to look inte the others eyes, scared of showing him this side of his. Afraid of the side that once had left him weak at the floor, hands wrapped around each other as he showed this to the people he never wished to see

And now, once again he was showing how his tears slipped down his red face in front of his closest friend. Alone in a room that felt cramped right now

He tried to stop them, but it was no use to stop something that was used to leaving his eyes. He dragged his hand upwards towards his burning cheeks to wipe the wetness from his face

"Why are you still afraid to cry Taehyung, why are you afraid I'm going to judge you"

He stilled, hands wiping the last place as he dragged down his hand again, warming it under the sheets as he sighed shakily before turning his head towards his blonde friend, eyes finally meeting his

"I'm not afraid of your judgment Jimin. I'm afraid of the way you will react again"
