Chapter 16

Y/n looked at Taehyung who hadn't woken up yet. After his su'c'de attempt, even he didn't want it to be this serious. But he end up, actually drowning himself in river except of faking it.

Y/n sat with Taesuk, who was looking stressed and sad. She rubbed his back. "Hey, don't worry. Doctors said Taehyung is fine."

"But It's just- It's just scary Y/n. Why would he do that? I don't get it. I don't get why he would try to end his life? After everything I did for him. He didn't even think of me before taking such a step." He exclaimed.

Y/n felt more guilty, she believes Taehyung did it because of her.

"I gave my all to his mother too, she still ended her life. And now Taehyung too, which makes me wonder if I am the problem?" He asked.

"Oh my god, you aren't." She hugged his arm. "It's not your fault honey. Stop blaming yourself."

He didn't say anything.

"Are you okay?" She asked. He shook his head.

"I am having a headache."

"Honey, you should rest. I am here with Taehyung." She said, He didn't agree at first but After a while convinced him it was late at night. So she sent him to rest.

After he left, she stood up and walked closer to Taehyung, she stared at him. While he was still conscious. She sat on the chair beside his bed.

Taehyung lies in the hospital bed, his eyes fluttering open. He blinks, disoriented, and then notices Y/n sitting in a chair beside him, holding his hand.

"Taehyung, you're awake. Thank goodness." She said,

Taehyung tries to speak, but his throat feels dry and scratchy. He manages a weak nod.

"Y/n…"

"Shh, it's okay. Don't try to talk too much. Just rest. I've been so worried about you." She pulled her hair back and kissed his forehead.

Taehyung attempts a small smile, but it's clear that he's carrying a heavy burden. He didn't want to make Y/n worry. "Where is dad?"

"He was feeling well, so I sent him home." She said.

Taehyung clenched his fist." He doesn't fcking care about me."

"Hey, no. He didn't want to leave. I told him. And I am here right? Is that enough?" She asked.

Taehyung smiled. "No, I love you and I am happy to see you. But I didn't want to make you worry."

"Why did you do that Taehyung? Was it because of me?" She asked.

"Yes but no. It wasn't because of you. But I don't like that you were ignoring me" He said.

Tears well up in Y/n's eyes as she speaks, and Taehyung's heart aches for her."I wasn't, I just feel so bad. Your father, he forgives me and I want to be loyal to him. I am really happy with him, I fcked up once. But I don't want to ruin my marriage."

"No, no, don't cry." Taehyung panicked, he had seen Y/n mostly being strong, he didn't like to see her cry.

"Taehyung, you are lucky to have your father. My father never gives a sh't about me or my mother. I didn't want the same for my kids. And the amount of love he gives to my children, he treats them like they are his. Of course he's gonna love you the most. Don't be disrespectful to him because of me." She said,

"What about you? You don't give me love." Taehyung said.

"Taehyung, I tried right? But It end up in something else." She replied.

"I promise It won't happen again, if you don't want to have a sexual relationship, it's fine. Just don't ignore me, we can still spend time together? Just take care of me, give me love." He said. Y/n stared at him, she sighed.

"I don't know, I don't want to be disloyal to him."

"No, no. It will not be disloyalty. It's different Y/n, I want you. We don't need to have sex, I just want you. It's the least you can do for me." Taehyung exclaimed.

"I need time to think about it."

His hospital room is filled with the sterile scent of medical equipment. Taehyung looks up as the door opens, and Jungkook strides in, holding a bouquet of colorful flowers. Jungkook's face betrays a mix of frustration and concern.

"Taehyung, seriously? You scared the hell out of all of us. What were you thinking?" Jungkook exclaimed.

"You care?" He asked.

Jungkook takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then switches to a lighter tone.

"Of course not, enough of the heavy stuff. I brought you these." He holds out the flowers, but Taehyung looks puzzled.

" Flowers? For me?" Taehyung asked confused.

"Nah, they're for , Y/n. Thought I'd brighten her day instead." Jungkook grinned.

Taehyung raises an eyebrow. " Oh really? Are you trying to steal her now, Jungkook?"

Jungkook winks playfully at Y/n, who's sitting in a chair by the bedside. Working on her laptop.

" Well, can you blame me? I mean, just look at her. She's even more beautiful than the flowers." He flirted.

Y/n clearly taken by surprise by Jungkook's flirty comment. But ignore him and looked at her laptop screen.

"Assh*le stop flirting with her." Taehyung said.

"Stop being jealous." Jungkook replied.

Y/n just smiled at their interaction, Jungkook does makes Taehyung happy.

The room fills with laughter as Jungkook's visit brings a touch of humor and positivity to Taehyung's recovery process.

Taehyung has just returned home from the hospital, but his demeanor is distant. He sits on the couch, lost in his own thoughts, while Y/n, watches him with concern. His father, Taesuk, stands nearby, glancing at his wife, then back at Taehyung.

" Taesuk, he's been like this since he got back. We need to talk to him." Y/n whispered to him.

Taesuk nods and approaches Taehyung. He crouches down to his son's eye level, trying to catch Taehyung's gaze, but Taehyung avoids making eye contact.

" Taehyung, can we talk? Just you and me, for a moment?" He asked

Taehyung remains silent, still not acknowledging his father's presence. Y/n steps away, giving them the privacy they need.

"Taehyung, I understand that this has been incredibly difficult for you. But we're your family, and we want to help. Please, talk to me. Tell me why you're shutting us out."

Taehyung's shoulders tense, and he finally looks at his father. His eyes are filled with a mixture of pain and frustration.

"You know why!" He replied. "You have changed dad, I was 17 and asked for exclusive car which wasn't even available in Korea. You still bought it for me and gifted me. You give me everything I ask for. And now you are giving me one thing that will make me happy forever!"

"I spoilt you, but I never raised you to be a disrespectful brat. Ask for cars, anything that money can buy, I can give you anything I own. But not humans, She is not a thing. So know your limits." He exclaimed.

Tears well up in Taehyung's eyes, "Just leave it."

He stood up and left.
__

Y/n knock on the door. He didn't reply, she knocked the door again.

"Leave!" Taehyung yelled back.

"It's me." Y/n exclaimed, it was silence for a few seconds and then the door got opened. Taehyung went to sit on his bed again.

Y/n came again, she was holding a tray of food. She placed it on the side table. And came to sit on bed with bed. "You didn't eat dinner with us, so bring the food here."

"I am not hungry." He replied.

"Okay, I thought about it. It wasn't your fault, it was mine. You never pushed the boundaries I did. I will still be your mommy, and take care of you. If what we do it not romantic,"

Taehyung smiled, "You seriously? Can you cuddle?"

"Eat your meal first." She said and lifted the lift and put it In Front of Taehyung.

"Only if you feed me." Taehyung replied. Y/n chuckled and nodded her head.
