"Darling."

That was new. Jungkook never called him 'darling'. The older would call him baby, petal, love and sometimes strawberry, but darling was never there.

He's not complaining though, he liked it when Jungkook called him with nicknames. Especially petal, it was his favorite. Even strawberry. But petal tops all of them.

He walked through the boxes spread out in the living room and entered the kitchen. Jungkook had said he'll make something for them to eat.

"Help me." Jungkook said once he saw Taehyung entering the messy kitchen.

"What the hell are you even doing?"

"I tried making spaghetti."

"Nope. You tried to burn the kitchen."

"That's mean."

"Does it look like I care?"

Jungkook shrugged and got away from the stove. Taehyung started asking for ingredients and decided he'll make the spaghetti instead.

"Petal, how about we order something?" Jungkook asked. This isn't going to work. They still had many things to pack, it were Jungkook's things mostly. Taehyung had minimal.

"Yeah, I'll do it. You clean the kitchen." Taehyung ordered and walked out of the kitchen, not minding the whining older, who kept saying 'it's not fair.'

Once their food arrived, they both sat on the couch and started eating. The kitchen was cleaned now, with Taehyung helping the older a bit. Only a little bit, though.

"I will not cook." Jungkook said as he took a bite of his pizza.

"Yes you won't. I'll do the cooking, you do the cleaning." Taehyung replied with a mouth full of pizza.

"That's not fair baby, cleaning requires help."

"So does cooking." Taehyung retorted.

"Okay." Jungkook mumbled.

"How was the day with Jimin?" Jungkook asked after a few minutes.

"It was fun. We watched movies and played games. And we talked about so many things." Taehyung beamed.

"That's good to know. What did you watch?"

"We watched Mozzarella." Taehyung quietly spoke.

"What?"

"Nothing, we watched Cinderella."

"Oh!"

"Yeah. I'll miss him."

"I'll miss Namjoon."

"..."

"I'll miss Kwon too." Jungkook said when he got no response from Taehyung.

Taehyung smaked Jungkook.

"What? I thought we're talking about who we will miss." Jungkook defended himself.

"Shut up, dummy."

They both continued to eat. They shared a lot of small talks, teasing each other and a lot of small kisses.

"So, we're done packing."

"No, oh my God look, there are so many things left unpacked."

"You could've just said yes."

"What's the fun in that?" Taehyung inquired. Jungkook sighed, knowing he can't win an argument against the younger. The younger was very feisty. He might not look like this, but he is. He looks like a sweet cup cake, but once you get to know him he's spicy chicken.

But who's complaining, though?

Not Jungkook.

Jungkook loves him way too much.

"Kook, I decided to visit Jinyoung's grave for the last time." Taehyung whispered.

"You want to petal?" Jungkook asked as he sat beside him on the bed. The older rested his head on the younger's shoulder.

"Yeah, last time before we leave. I don't know when we'll come back, again." Taehyung replied as he started playing with the older's bracelet.

"Okay. Do you want me to come?"

"No, I'll be fine. I'll be back before dinner." Jungkook nodded and kissed the guy's cheek.

Taehyung was here now. After half an hour of sitting in the bus, he was here in the cemetery. He kept walking, till he spotted Jinyoung's grave.

He read the words written on his tombstone.

Park Jinyoung

1996-2021

A loving son and a brother.

It seemed awful. He sat down on the ground still reading his name.

He missed saying that name. He missed Jinyoung. The older was maybe a trash of a boyfriend but he was an amazing friend.

He quietly reminisced all their times spent together.

From the first day he saw Jinyoung. The way they had met. To the day he last met him. They were like a blur, but the only memory that stayed was the last time he met Jinyoung.

He recalled how Jinyoung had asked to meet and how nervous he initially was.

However once he met Jinyoung everything changed. Every single thing.

He is sure he can never forget that day. That memory being tattooed on his head. He can easily tell what happened that day without even blinking his eyes.

He looked at the grave again.

"I never did anything wrong." He said.

He looked at Jinyoung's name.

And then he smirked.
