2 months later

You sit on the bed with the ice cream tub in your arms. Ayana sits in front of you and you open the ice cream. She hands you a spoon and you both dig.

"So tell me the tea!" She squeals.

"The tea?"

"With you and Isao."

"There is no tea." You giggle.

"Oh come on!" She playfully punches your shoulder. "You and him have hung out every day for the past week!"

"Well, I like his company." You shrug.

"Oh really? That's it?"

"Yes, Ayana." You chuckle. "I'm not ready to move on. I just want to focus on myself and my kids."

"Good for you." Ayana grins. "I'm happy to see you this way."

"I am too. I think I'm finally... okay."

Ayana smiles and gives you a hug.

"But back to Isao, would you give him a chance?"

"Ayana!" You groan before throwing a pillow at her face.

"Are you sure you don't want a sniff?" Jimin asks Taehyung.

"I'm positive."

"Why have you been rejecting alcohol and cocaine?" Jungkook questions. "It's weird. Before you didn't want to live without it."

"Alcohol and drugs don't help me at all. If anything they'll help me die faster." Taehyung chuckles. "Plus I want to be better. I don't want to be the Taehyung that gets high and drinks and cheats. I want to be the Taehyung I know I am."

"I'm glad to hear that buddy." Jin ruffles his hair.

"Has anyone talked to Yoongi lately?" Hoseok asks. "I actually really miss him."

"I know Namjoon has. Other than that he's been MIA which is definitely understandable." Jin comments. "He's being chased after an assassin."

"I still don't understand why he didn't just ask for help from us." Hoseok sighs.

"You know Yoongi's crazy ass. He always likes living on the edge." Jimin replies.

"I miss him a lot though," Jungkook pouts. "Hopefully he gets rid of that bitch soon."

Taehyung picks up his phone and dials Yoongi.

It's worth a shot.

The line rings four times before it was answered.

"Hello?"

"Yoongi?" Taehyung questions.

"Taehyung?"

"Hyung!" Taehyung exclaims.

"Taehyung-ah! I haven't talked to you in a while!" Yoongi laughs.

"We miss you Yoongs! How are things?"

"I miss you guys too and things are fine. Just laying low."

"I'm glad to hear that."

"Namjoon told me about you and Y/N." Yoongi sighs. "I'm sorry man."

"It was all my fault," Taehyung explains. "I fucked up bad but I'm trying to make it better."

"You know what would help?"

"I don't think anything would help, but shoot."

"Write a song," Yoongi suggests.

"What?" Taehyung laughs at his stupid idea.

"Hey man I know it sounds stupid but that shit actually helps. It gets you thinking and working."

"Yoongi writing songs? What?!"

"I've been writing for a while I just never actually put my heart into it," Yoongi divulges. "But I wrote this song called Seesaw. I'm really proud of it."

"You should let me hear it."

"To be bullied?" Yoongi scoffs. "No thanks."

"I would never!" Taehyung tries his best to sound insulted. "In all seriousness, I don't even know what to write about."

"Write about something you're passionate about or just love. Also, you better not tell the others about this." Yoongi warns.

"I won't Yoongs," Taehyung chuckles.

"I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

"Why didn't you fight for Y/N when she was leaving? You just let her go."

"You don't think I wanted to get on my knees and beg for her to stay? I did. But I also hurt her... bad. I couldn't just be selfish and beg her to stay for me when I knew she needed time to heal."

"You're a good guy, Tae. You make the dumbest decisions but you're a good guy."

Taehyung smiles at his friends' backhanded compliment.

"Hey it's pretty late here so I'm gonna go. Talk to you later, okay?"

"Bye Taehyung-ah."

Taehyung hangs up the phone. He looks at the blue notebook and pen on his nightstand and chuckles. He grabs the notebook and pen then climbs onto his bed.

Taehyung stares at the lined piece of paper for what felt like hours. He scratches his head in thought and begins to write down Hangul words on his paper.

꽃들이 가득한 거리에 오늘도 그대를 보네요
(I see you today on the street full of flowers)

내 안에 담겨질까요
(Will it be in me?)

새벽달이 지난 공원에 지금 내 감정을 담아요
(I'm putting my feelings in the park after the early morning moon)

이 노랜 그댈 향해요
(This song is headed for you)

밤하늘 달에게 비춰진 필름의 소리를 들어요
(I hear the sound of film from the moon at night)

I still wonder wonder beautiful story
Still wonder wonder best part
I still wander wander next story
I want to make you mine

Taehyung rereads his written lyrics and laughs.

"Aish, this is so lame." He rips the paper out of the notebook and shoots it into his trashcan.

Taehyung turns his lamp off and gets under the covers. He lays in the slightly illuminated room as he looks up at the ceiling.

"Forget her man," Taehyung tells himself. "You did this to yourself." He turns to his side and sighs. "I'm still so in love with you, Y/N."

-

You turn to your side and look at the window. You admire the bright city lights that hit it and sigh. "Why am I still in love with you, Kim Taehyung?"
