Summary: You’re at a party with your best friend, Jimin. Once there, you see your ex-boyfriend, Taehyung. That was the last thing you wanted to happen.
A/N: This was a bit delayed due to school and other personal reasons. But here it finally is! I hope you enjoy it :)
You're at a party with your best friend, Jimin. The two of you had become closer ever since you and Taehyung broke up 4 months ago. He was there for you when you couldn't take care of yourself anymore.
Jimin and you were sitting on the couch, next to each other with 3 other friends of his. You didn't know them that well, but they seemed nice.
And unfortunately your ex-boyfriend, Taehyung, was invited too. It didn't bother you that much, but the idea of him being there wasn't very pleasing.
After some time, a little nudge against your arm interrupted your thoughts. You shaked your head and turned your head to look at Jimin.
"You spaced out again, y/n. Are you thinking about that asshole again?" He asked, looking genuinely concerned at you. You hated seeing him like this.
"Kinda. It just frustrates me a bit that Taehyung is here as well." You replied, rubbing the side of your arm nervously. You heard him sigh softly, putting an arm around you. ''Just ignore him and think about me and all the other fun things you'll be doing tonight.'' Jimin smiled, patting your shoulder gently.
A lot of hours and drinks later, you noticed how your ex-boyfriend, Taehyung, was looking at you. He was practically swallowing you up with his eyes. They went from your eyes and beautiful smile, all the way down to your legs. You felt your cheeks heat up at the eye contact.
Looking down, you could feel Jimin lean down, looking at your bright red face. ''You really had way too many drinks. I think it's for the better if we go home now. It is pretty late after all as well.'' He mumbled, pulling you on your arm.
Before you could even get up, your phone buzzed, feeling it vibrate against hand. You turned your phone on to be greeted by a message from Taehyung. As you pulled your arm away from the boy next to you, you read the messages he had sent you.
You turn your phone off and get up, stuffing the mobile device in your pocket. You link arms with Jimin as he drags you to the exit of the building.
You stumble a bit from side to side, leaning all of your weight on your friend, but before you could leave, a firm hand could be felt on your shoulder, being pulled backwards towards the person. You turn around to be faced by your ex-boyfriend, which you had kind of expected.
‘‘Can I just please talk to you for one second? I need to get this off of my chest.’‘ He states, his eyes getting a bit teary as he finished his explanation. You told Jimin that he could wait outside for you in the car as you went somewhere private with Taehyung. You really couldn’t figure out what to expect, but he did seem honest in his words.
The two of you entered the room, Taehyung sitting down on the small couch placed in the corner of the room, the lights dimmed, and a scent of drugs and alcohol reeking around.
“So, I know you must be mad at me, but please listen to me for now.’‘ He started, hands placed on his lap nervously as he looks down at them. You did look at him, a bit concerned about whatever was coming. You had never seen him like this ever since you broke up.
"I know it didn't sound very convincing when I said I was sorry, but I really am. I miss you every single day. I think about you all the time, wherever I go. I just can't imagine a life without you, y/n. So, will you take me back?" He asked, looking at you from the corner of his eyes. All you could do is sit there with your mouth wide open, flabbergasted by his sudden request.
"Then why did you cheat on me?"
Silence.
He sighed.
"She forced me into it. I honestly didn't want it. In return she would give me money."
"That's the worst excuse I’ve heard, Taehyung. I’ve had enough of your bullshit!"
"My mother is sick, okay! She needs treatment, but she doesn't have the money for it. My dad isn't with us, they divorced. So I had to take this chance. My mom wouldn't be alive today if I didn't take her offer. The girl would give me money if I did whatever she asked of me." He explained, placing his hands on mine, tears sliding down his cheeks with every word he muttered out.
‘‘I-I didn’t know that... I’m sorry.’‘ You wipe the tears from his cheek, then pulling him into a hug. You didn’t know if this was the right thing to do, but you knew Taehyung wasn’t lying about his situation. You knew his mother had been sick before. It wasn’t that much of a surprise anymore, but you didn’t know she was in such a bad shape.
A few minutes had passed and it seemed like the other had calmed down a bit by now. You talked to him a bit more about it.
That was until he took your hands in his own, looking you straight in the eyes. ‘’Y/n, I still love you. I want you to know that. I do want to know what you want right now. If you want to keep things like they were or maybe get back together?’’ He asked. You noticed the way he looked so hopefull at you. You just couldn’t get yourself to turn him down again. ‘’I’m not sure, but now I know the truth, I might just take you back.’’ You said, before asking him for one favour, ‘’I want you to promise me you’ll never do this again. Promise you will always stay by my side and put all your effort in this relationship, because I really do want this to work out.’’
He nodded vigorously, the brightest smile you’ve ever seen appearing on his face. You were happy, smiling just like he did. Taehyung’s expression then softened as he leaned in, you doing the same. You could feel your stomach tingle at the touch of his lips against yours. Your hand went to his cheek as his hand slid down to your waist.
You end the kiss with Taehyung. A soft smile plastered on his lips. He then suddenly goes in for a hug again, holding you tight against his chest. Your cheeks heat up, them now being bright red. Hearing his heartbeat made you give into him, cuddling up against Taehyung.
‘‘I’m glad you’re back in my arms again...’‘
‘‘So am I.’‘
You smile.
You would’ve never thought the two of you would end up together again.
And as for Jimin, he was too confused to understand it all. You explained everything that happened back in that room. From him explaining everything to the two of you hugging and kissing each other again. All he could do was listen with his eyes widened and his mouth wide open. He couldn’t believe it either, but you knew it was better this way.
You were happy being with the love of your life again.
