Yooo, I'm back! Let's continue on with the story.

I walked towards my locker with a small tear in my eye that was begging to fall, but I keep trying to hold it back. I felt a tap on my back and I turned around to see Lance with a concerned look.

"You okay, bud?" He said. "Yeah, yeah." I sniffed and finally, the tear fell freely on my cheek, exposing my sadness. He wiped the tear of my face and pouted. "What's wrong?"

"I-It's nothing, Lance." I gave him an innocent, fake smile. "You sure?" He said in a concerned tone. I nodded and continued to smile as he walked off to his locker.

The bell rang and I headed to my first class.

Our professor came in. "Okay class, settle down. Ahem, so, today is our exam. I hope you studied well." He announced and gave us papers. He sat down the chair and played with his phone.

I was staring at the paper, my mind completely blank. I knew I would fail this test. Only one person was consuming my mind. Kim Taehyung.

During the test, I started mentally slapping myself, trying to focus. Then the bell rang. My jaw fell and I stared at my paper, noticing that I only guessed some and others were left unanswered. I groaned and packed my things and left.

I went to my next class which had Lance in it. I sat in my usual chair and just sighed.

»» Our professor called out my name. I looked up to him and he spoke. "Collins, as our top student in this class, do you mind sharing the class a few information about the VY Canis Majoris?" I blinked twice. I knew alot, in fact, I study this weekly, but my mouth was in no mood to speak nor my mind had the courage to function. I just stood there, frozen with every student's eye on me. I caught a glimpse of Lance staring at my with yet another concerned look. Our professor twitched his eyebrows and asked me to sit down. "My, I thought you would actually know this, Collins." He muttered. I sat down with a let-down look and didn't even bother to listen to the upcoming topics and lessons. The bell finally rang and I ran out before Lance could grip my arm. I skipped lunch break and heard Lance calling out my name in the distance. I ignored it and sat peacefully in the corner of the school.

I heard footsteps approaching me. I hid myself by facing down and tucking myself in my arms that were placed above my knees. Lance snickered. "You sure you don't want help?" I felt him smile even though I couldn't see him because I was facing down. "My.." He sighed, "I think it's better if I give you space for a while." He said before I heard his footsteps fading away by each step.

I grabbed my bag and skipped school. I went home and sighed in relief as I found no sight of a fangirl or a reporter approaching me. I cooked some beef for lunch before I headed to my bedroom. I went to my social medias and scrolled down until I came across this topic.

"Kim Taehyung rumored to have a breakup with his allegedly called girlfriend." My eyes widened and hurriedly checked their Twitter. My eyes grew wider and found a recent post that was posted yesterday.

"믿을만한 사람을 잃는 것이 그렇게 상처받지 않습니까? " The caption said. It also included a selca of Tae pouting. {see above}

My mouth was still widely open from shock and I started researching more of this topic and found more news and a few videos, too.

"Footage of Kim Taehyung at the Chicago Midway International Airport." Hmm, so he really did come to Chicago for a vacation?

I sighed and took a nap to skip a few hours of the day.

I woke up and it was already 6:27 PM. My stomach rumbled as I went out of bed. I reheated my lunch earlier and ate the leftovers. Oh and yes, I did put them in the fridge earlier, it's not disgusting.

I finished my meal and my phone vibrated, signaling that I received a notification. I checked it to see another post which I guessed it was Namjoon because it was written in English.

"He isn't feeling himself lately. He was talking to me with a bored tone earlier and spoke only 1-2 words, mostly he remained silent but yeah. Hopefully he goes back to his happy self again."

I guessed he was referring to Taehyung. It also went viral again after the first post. I sighed.

I'm sorry, Tae.

Please forgive me.

I promise, it's wasn't me.

I.. can't go on with my life..

Without you.
