Taehyung and Yoongi have been together for 9 years already. Next step is marriage, right? That's what Taehyung thought. But apparently, him and Yoongi want different things.
// lol new story. this one will be short. im also not yet sure if there'll be smut because i have never written smut before lol im gonna try but im not making any promises. this one will have a happy ending but it'll be a little angsty at the beginning :)
1. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung is supposed to be happy. He is pretending to be. The problem is, he's never been very good at lying. Apparently, three hours of faking it is his limit.
2. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung did what he was supposed to, he got dressed up for a party he didn't want to go to. But when the time to leave came, he stood in front of the mirror in his apartment and wondered if anyone would notice if he didn't show up.
3. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung looks good. He's wearing black pants and a black long-sleeved turtle neck shirt. Taehyung might look good on the outside, but inside, he's dying.

Taehyung is not happy.
4. #taegiau #taegi #supv

But Taehyung puts a smile on his face anyway and grabs his black coat before heading out of the door. His friends would notice if he didn't show up and they would probably send someone to check on him.
5. #taegiau #taegi #supv

For a while, the smile on Taehyung's face is fairly believable. He drinks. He laughs. He chats. He sees their pitying smiles when they think he's not looking.
6. #taegiau #taegi #supv

So he laughs harder, fake it more. It's New Year's Eve; no one wants to see him moping in a corner.
7. #taegiau #taegi #supv

When the tears finally threaten to spill over, Taehyung escapes onto Jimin and Hoseok's balcony with his drink, without his coat. He's had four vodka tonics and is well on his way to demolishing a fifth.
8. #taegiau #taegi #supv

He knows this is stupid, He's only going to get more depressed and maudlin, but he can't help myself.
9. #taegiau #taegi #supv

No, Taehyung doesn't want to help himself. A part of him welcomes the self-indulgent misery. He wants to wallow in it. He feels like he deserves at least that much. He wants to go home to his empty apartment and cry until there are no tears left.
10. #taegiau #taegi #supv

But he's done that every night for the last month and a half. Everyone wants him to just snap out of it; as if this is something he can just move on from. It's over, and he's not ready for it to be. He can't accept the fact that it is.
11. #taegiau #taegi #supv

He's here. Yoongi is here.Taehyung can hear his voice spilling through the window that's been left open a crack. The apartment is hot and in his only turtle neck shirt, he was very comfortable inside.
12. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung realizes that the outside air is frigid, and he won't be able to stay out there long dressed the way he is. He drains the last of his drink and contemplates running in to grab another, along with his coat.
13. #taegiau #taegi #supv

It's almost midnight and Taehyung wants to be back out at the balcony so he won't be forced to stand alone in a crowd while every other couple kisses and wishes each other a Happy New Year. He can't do it.
14. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Not with Yoongi standing in the crowd; or worse, kissing someone else.
15. #taegiau #taegi #supv

If Yoongi met someone else, Taehyung doesn't think he would flaunt it in his face. But Taehyung is not sure.

Maybe Taehyung doesn't know Yoongi at all anymore.
16. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Nine years. Taehyung and Yoongi made it through college, starting their careers, moving in together for nine years. They made it through stupid fights and silly misunderstandings for nine years. But they can't make it through this.
17. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Their families are grieving. Their friends are bewildered. Their lives are so intertwined, Taehyung has no idea how they will ever untangle them. Jungkook, one of his bestfriends, is Yoongi's younger brother; Namjoon, Taehyung's older brother,
18. #taegiau #taegi #supv

is Yoongi's friend and he also works with him. Jungkook and Namjoon are dating each other. They're trying to support Taehyung and Yoongi without taking sides, but it's hard.
19. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Yoongi looks good tonight. Too good. Taehyung has always liked him dressed a little preppy. He's wearing a crisp white shirt with grey pinstripe pants and a black sweater. And he's wearing the glasses.
20. #taegiau #taegi #supv

The glasses Taehyung helped him pick out. Taehyung hates him for it. Taehyung hates him for looking so good, and being such an asshole.

Taehyung hates Yoongi for breaking his heart.
21. #taegiau #taegi

Taehyung hears the sliding glass door open, but he doesn't turn his head, figuring it's just someone who wants to sneak a quick smoke. It isn't until he smells the scent of the cologne Taehyung bought Yoongi last Christmas that he realizes he's in trouble.
22. #taegiau #taegi #supv

"You look good," Yoongi says quietly.
Taehyung doesn't answer. He does not have anything to say. Or at least not anything productive. It will devolve into a screaming fight like every other time if he does.
23. #taegiau #taegi #supv

"You're not happy, though," Yoongi adds.

Taehyung whirls around to face him, and tries to steel himself for the shock of seeing him, but his breath catches anyway. Yoongi is so beautiful.
24. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Yoongi will always be heart-stoppingly beautiful, and Taehyung will never, ever be over him. Not even after he has moved on. Taehyung swallows the thick press of tears that clog his throat at the thought of moving on from Yoongi.
25. #taegiau #taegi #supv

It seems impossible, but logically, Taehyung knows he will. Someday. Eventually

Taehyung knows he needs to. Yoongi can't give what he needs and they have done this for long enough. Taehyung has wasted nine years of his life on a man who can't commit.
26. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung can't keep doing this to himself when he knows that he's someone who needs the goddamn ring. He wants it on paper. He wants it to be official. Taehyung hates himself.
27. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung wants to be fine with spending the rest of my life with Yoongi without the ring, but he needs it.
28. #taegiau #taegi #supv

And Yoongi can't give him that. Won't. Taehyung doesn't really know which.

"Did you really think I was just going to move on and be okay after just six weeks, Yoongi?" Taehyung snaps. "Of course I'm not happy."
29. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Yoongi snorts, derisively. "You're the one who ended this."

Taehyung closes his eyes; they are already at the point where they've been a thousand times before. Where they scream and fight and Taehyung's heart breaks all over again.
30. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Where Taehyung desperately wishes he had never met Min Yoongi. And then he hates himself for thinking that blasphemous thought. They were so happy. So goddamn happy for nine long years.
31. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung wants to blame Yoongi's Great-Aunt. She was the one who cornered them at Thanksgiving over the appetizers and unknowingly, unleashed the words that ended their relationship.
32. #taegiau #taegi #supv

✨

"So, when are you two getting married? It's about time, don't you think?" Yoongi's Grant-Aunt teased. Taehyung blinked in surprise, and laughed awkwardly, not really sure how to answer the question.
33. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung wanted to marry Yoongi, but he hadn't been in any hurry up until that time. They've been so busy with school, their careers, and moving in together that they had not really discussed it.
34. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Yoongi chuckled and wrapped an arm around Taehyung's shoulders, pulling him back against his chest. "Now, I know what you're going to say, Auntie, but I'm just not the marrying-type of guy. I love Taehyung, and he knows that.
35. #taegiau #taegi #supv

What's the point in some ridiculous wedding to prove that we're together? We're just fine, as is."
36. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Yoongi kissed Taehyung's temple as Taehyung's stomach dropped and the room spinned. Taehyung thought of how long he has been with this man but never knew about this about him.
37. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung tried to laugh it off and deflect his probing questions, but after Yoongi's aunt left, Taehyung turned to Yoongi. "Do you really mean that? You don't want to get married, ever?"
38. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Yoongi shook his head. "After what my parents went through in their divorce, I don't think so."

Yoongi's parents had divorced his senior year of college and it was a messy, nasty dissolution.
39. #taegiau #taegi

Separately, his parents were lovely people, but they're a nightmare together. They're each seeing other people now, and although the family get-togethers were awkward, it's for the best. It was non-stop screaming for the last three years of their marriage.
40. #taegiau #taegi #supv

"But we've never been like them, Yoongi. I.. I can't believe you feel that way," Taehyung just said numbly.

By the end of that day, Taehyung was in tears and he cried the whole way back to their apartment.
41. #taegiau #taegi #supv

They fought in the car, on the stairs up to their apartment, and once they got inside. They fought for three days. Taehyung was reduced to begging Yoongi to marry him, and then hating himself for being that pathetic. But Yoongi wouldn't budge.
42. #taegiau #taegi #supv

By the end of the next week, they were officially broken up and Yoongi has been living with his brother since then.
43. #taegiau #taegi #supv

Taehyung has been all alone in their empty apartment, trying to find someone to sublet, because there's no way he can afford it on his own. Once Taehyung accomplishes that, he will rent a small studio for himself .
44. #taegiau #taegi #supv

He doesn't want to do with any of this, but what choice does he have?
