I Still Want You [Taekook] - Chapter 22: Chapter 22

Seoul - November 2016
No One's P.O.V
"Soojung ah" a man in his 30's shoutout when he saw the beautiful girl from afar and jogged towards her
"Oh. Jaemin Oppa. What's happen? Why are you here?"
The said male is the idol's manager.
"Why you didn't pick up my call?"
"You called me? There is no... " The woman stopped talking when realizing that her phone is not in the pocket.
"Oppa, I think I left my phone in the waiting room. wait a minute, I'll take it"
"Wait...Wait... that's not what matters now." But the girl already running towards the waiting room.
When she got there, a man sitting on the floor helplessly.
"Where is Taehyung?" but the man just stared at her
"Hello..."
"I don't know" he answered weakly
Soojung clicking her tongue in annoyance, she takes her phone which on the table and gonna leave the room, however, someone holds her hand
"What do you want?"
"I love him"
"So what? what do you expect me to do?"
"I love him" he just repeated what he said, but this time tears spilled over the sides of his eyes
She doesn't know what to do. Her feelings become a bunch of mess. Feel sorry for him but at the same times, it hurts to know that there is someone who loves the man you loves. And that someone is the one who got his love.
"You left him all alone, you disappeared when he was in his darkest time, you choose to leave him. Then don't ever think about going back to him, don't ever ask him to goes back to you."
"I know... That's the most stupid thing I've ever done and I want to pay for it."
"How?" she snorts at his words
Before he has the chance to answer, Soojung cut him off "You know, it's too late. You can't get it back, what's lost is lost. If you really love him, then just let him go."
"Are you two really dating?"
"It's not your place to ask this question" she swayed her hands to escape the man's grip, leaving him. But she suddenly stops her moves.
"Do you want to know the difference between you and me?" she asked without looking back at him
"The courage. You don't even have the courage to fight for him, while here I am, have my biggest courage to love someone who doesn't love me back"
"what she said was true," stated a man who suddenly entered the room the moment when Soojung left. Jung Hoseok, the man who had been standing in the hallway all this time, listening to Soojung and Jungkook's conversation.
"Just let him go. If he's meant for you, he will back to you. Even though honestly I hope he never comes back. He deserved a better life."
"Hyung..."
"Stop regretting the past, just don't ever let the same mistakes happen again." Hoseok wipes the tears in his brother's cheeks.
"We need to prepare for our performance. Fix your messy appearance. You choose to keep your job over him, so be a professional."

Taehyung's P.O.V
I sit in a hidden corner behind the stage.
"That's our last kiss," I said while touching my lips. I never thought that this time will come this fast. The time when we talking to each other again, the time when we kiss again, the time when I able to look at that beautiful eyes again, but sadly it's also the last time.
One day I said that I will let him go, I'll forget him, I'll move on and be a better me. The next day I'll cry like crazy just at the thought of him. It's being a meaningless cycle.
Somehow, today, It feels like I really need to let him go. When I kiss him, a mass of realization hit me. Choose to give up and stop waiting, is much better. All this time, I just preserved my own sadness.
But there is one thing that will never change. I'm still someone who smiles easily when hears his name, and I'm still someone who cries easily when praying for him.
Jungkook, I hope you will be happy and always be a shining person
My train of thought being cut by my phone's vibration
"Hello... "

Krystal's P.O.V
"Why you take a lot of time just to get your phone?" Jaemin Oppa nagging, me being not in the mood, just rolled my eyes.
"You're in trouble" a glint of panicked appears on his face. But he seems tried to keep his composure
"Why?"
"PD-nim asked you to go back to the company right now"
"But I'm the special MC for today music show"
"He withdrew it."
"Why? Moreover, you said I have a schedule for photoshoot after this."
"He cancelled that schedule" My eyes got bigger, PD-nim never cancelled the artist's schedule, if he does so, it means the artist really made a big mistake or was involved in a big problem.
"What did I do wrong?" I just facing a painful heartbreak and face a raging boss is not going to help
"Apparently red velvet's manager report your actions a while ago. And unfortunately, Irene's cheeks bruised. Even worse, I don't know how the news spreading, but some media even call the company for a clarification about the dating news between you and Taehyung"
"Shit" I grab my hair irritably.
"Taehyung. Where is Taehyung? Where is he?" A storm of panicked hit me
"Huh?"
"Oppa, where is Taehyung?"
One of the music show's director run to me.
"Krystal ssi, do you know where is Taehyung? It's almost his turn to perform. I've looked everywhere, but he's nowhere to be found"
"Oh God" I quickly dialled his number. Even after some beeping sounds, he doesn't answer my call. I tried again and again while running like crazy searching for him. I ignore Jaemin Oppa who tried to drag me back to the company.
I abruptly stop when my eyes fixed on a dark and hidden place behind the stage. I approached the place, wishing to find Taehyung there.
But he isn't here.
Taehyung, where are you? are you go home? Why you suddenly disappeared like being swallowed by the earth?
