Taehyung sat on the bed, and unbuttoned his shirt before throwing it away. The song, “Love me again”, was playing in the background as he inhaled  deeply from his cigarette,  smoke curling around him.

A glass of alcohol sat on the nightstand, and he took a sip. He hated alcohol, especially whiskey, and now he finds himself drinking it a lot when he is alone.

Lost in his thoughts, he traced imaginary patterns on the ceiling, consumed by the image of Y/n. Making him chuckled, “I am so high in love that I see you everywhere,”

The obsession clung to him like a second skin, intensifying with every passing moment.

She is not his want anymore, she has become a need for him. Without her he will not survive.

Suddenly, his phone rang. A smirk forming on his lips, answered the call.

"Y/n," he asked. "What brings you to my dark world tonight?"

~Y/n's voice, hesitant yet hopeful, echoed through the phone. "I... I wanted to let you know. I'll be joining the workplace again tomorrow."

Taehyung's smirk deepened into a sinister grin.

"Is that so?" he replied, his mind already plotting. “You are always welcomed.”

She hung up the call, Taehyung threw his phone on the bed and turned, his eyes fell on his nightstand, Where he could see the picture of him and his mother.

Y/n has always been Taehyung's first priority even before his mother. And it is sad how Y/n doesn't even consider Taehyung his priority.

He opened his drawer and took out his diary,

The recent anniversary party for my parents had left me questioning, wondering about the depths of Dad's love for mom.

He looked happy and excited, of course he was, that is why he arranged such a grand celebration. What made me happy was seeing Mom's genuine smile.

I thought it was the beginning of them being normal, I wish I was. I hoped it was.

Dad had always hesitated about Mom meeting new people. He said he is embarrassed of her.

If he is so embarrassed of my mother, why did he never marry someone else? That would have been better.

I was sitting on the stairs while they were downstairs.

Because even if the party started with her smiling, it ended in the worst way. I could hear them fight again.

“What were you trying to do huh? Flirting with my business partner?” He exclaimed.

“N-no, no, the tie, sorry. It couldn't stop, it was irritating me.” She replied. She fixed the tie of some man which made dad furious, but Mom was not flirting, she actually must be irritated.

“Lies! You use your disorder as an excuse all the time.” He exclaimed, “I really can't take you out, you start flirting with other men, do you want to leave me that badly?”

It hurt me, it hurt me to stand and listen to her screams.

My phone rang, and quickly silent it and saw the number. It was Y/n. I picked up the call, and walked to my room.

~“Tae,” she was crying.

“Y/n, what happened?” I panicked and asked her.

~”Please come here.” She exclaimed. I told her that I will be there soon.

I went downstairs, and saw Mom, Dad was not there, anything, and mom was crying alone.

Should I have stay with mom?

But Y/n needs me too right now. I will come back early for mom.

I decided to go to Y/n, dad was outside the house, smoking a cigarette. “Taehyung, where are you guys at this time?” He asked.

“I will come back in a few minutes.” I exclaimed.

“Go to your room. It's late at night, why are you not asleep yet?” Dad said.

“Because of you, you were hitting mom again, you are a shameless person to hit her on anniversary too,” I said back for the first time. And he didn't like it, he slapped me. I am not even surprised.

He holds my collar and takes me inside. “In what manner are you talking to me huh?” He exclaimed. He was about to hit me again but mom stopped him.

“Tae, go to your room.” She said I refused to go but she kept telling me too.

I made things worse, really worse for her that night. Because dad got really mad and took out his anger on her.

I hate myself, I just keep making things worse. I still needed to go see Y/n, so I escaped through the window and went to see her.

I am glad I did because she needed me too. I knocked on her window, it was her aunt's house I think, she was crying and she let me in.

She told me about her mother and how she kicked her out of the house because she told her that her step dad tried to ass*ult her.

She cried the whole night, but I was there. She hugged me and fell asleep in my arms.

She makes everything better, without her. I don't think I will ever be able to smile.

I kissed her forehead, I love her so much. I want to marry her and give her so much love. I would never be like my dad, I would never hurt her.

Taehyung stared at it, and sighed. “I promise I will not.”

He laid on the bed again, he missed her touch, he missed Y/n. He hugged the pillow and hid his face in it. “And I promise you will be in my arms soon.”

Jungkook leaned against the studio door, he made a little studio for her at home where she could work, “Are you go na take awake?”

Y/n sighed, "I started working on the project again. I joined the work again.”

Jungkook furrowed his brow, "Are you doing it under pressure?"

Y/n shook, “No, the project deadline is looming, and there's so much to finish."

Jungkook stepped closer, "Take breaks when you can, alright? I don't want you burning out."

Y/n chuckled, "I'll try, but this is demanding. I missed so many days and the launch is next month.”

Jungkook reached for her hand, squeezing it gently. "You've got this. And if you need a break or someone to talk to, I'm here."

Y/n smiled, grateful for his understanding. "Thanks, Jungkook.”

She feels bad for still hiding that she is working under Taehyung, but if she told him, Jungkook will tell her to leave the job. But she can't leave the job if she does. It will be hard for them. They need money.
