final chapter :(

Today was the day, the day I was going to spend an entire day with someone I haven't properly been with for months. I was nervous, actually more than nervous. The whole night I stayed up planning the whole day for Taehyung and me that as going to determine whether or not I can regain my friendship with my old best friend. Through the night, however, I debated if that's what I truly wanted, of course, I wanted to be friends with him but for so long I've had these deep emotions for him so I'm not sure if I want a relationship or friendship and I don't even what he wants at the end.

I decided I needed to stop stressing and put on a strong face, I dressed up nicely in a casual t-shirt and jeans but had an epiphany. I quickly went back into my closet and dug through piles of old clothes.

"Where is it?" I mumbled throwing clothes behind my gradually messing up my room. "Here!" I shouted to myself finding an old t-shirt I made when I was like 12 or something. I stripped off my previous shirt before putting my old one over my head. I look in the mirror reading what I wrote a few years ago.

PARK JIMIN + KIM TAEHYUNG!

It was a school project where we had to design a shirt with something we love so Tae and I obviously wrote about each other. I decided it was time to go and made my way out of my house saying bye to Sana. Once outside I had to decide whether to go through the front door or the window, I bit my lip thinking but concluded that I was trying to get Tae to remember all the old times of our friendship so I started walking towards the window. I climbed up it gradually before opening the window and making my way inside.

"After all this time, hearing someone climbing up my window just doesn't phase me anymore," I heard Taehyung joke, I looked around to see him sitting at his desk typing away on his computer.

"You're doing work in the morning?" I questioned walking towards him.

"I gotta write my entrance essay for uni," he told me, his eyes not leaving the screen. I smiled slightly before placing my hand on the laptop screen and pushing it down to close

"You can do that later, today is our day," I told him softly, we stared at each other for a bit until he looked down.

"Oh my God your shirt," he laughed rubbing his eyes.

"Shut up It's my favorite," I argued before he smiled and got up to go get changed. After 5 minutes we headed outside and began walking down our street.

"Aren't we gonna take a car?" he questioned staring at me.

"I thought we could do it the old way and take a bus everywhere today," I told him with a small smirk knowing he was gonna be slightly annoyed with that but I hoped he could see the nostalgia. He gave a small laugh before we reached the bus stop, we didn't have to wait long before the bus showed up thankfully.

After a few minutes, Tae eventually spoke up. "Do you still talk to Jungkook?" he asked rather abruptly without looking at me, almost like a sort of test question. I looked at him for a second.

"No, I haven't spoken to him since Hoseok's party and haven't seen him since school ended," I told him honestly to which he nodded. "What about you?"

He gave a small cough "Uh, yeah we work together actually," he mumbled not looking at me. I felt my stomach turn into a weird uncomfortable feeling, I don't know why but hearing that made me so sad.

"Oh, where do you work?" I asked politely trying to not show how it affected me.

"We both work as a waiter at this restaurant, I got the job and realized he also worked there," he explained monotoned.
