"Leave with you? What-- I don't understand...", Taehyung mumbled, brows knitted together while he stared at his father, shock draining over the beautiful raven and he merely distanced himself from his father. Seokjin smiled softly but carefully at his seemingly confused son.

"Jeongguk has told me everything and told me about the bond he has forced onto you in the despair to have you since he has been so brutally separated by Namjoon. I had no idea how he has been treated by his own brother... I thought he did something so disgusting that he was sent to the underworld... I've been wrong, I have judged him over lies told by others. I realized my mistake when he made me that offer", Demeter said, pain dancing in his eyes when he remembered how pained the suddenly young Hades has appeared in front of him after telling him his story.

He has looked so vulnerable, so brokenhearted because his love was taken away from him and he was punished for something that should've been the most beautiful moment in his life. It reminded Seokjin of himself, if he was being honest. A broken man, who couldn't have the one his heart desired. And Seokjin has seen the good in Jeongguk, for the first time ever. 

"Offer? What offer?", Taehyung asked in a thin voice, throat feeling tight suddenly and he couldn't speak. His father engulfed his hands. 

"He knew you were going to be unhappy here, it is not your place to stay. And he told me, that he treasures your happiness more than anything else. So he gives you another gift, in form of my presence. You can leave with me right now if you want to and he will bend the rules for you so you can leave and live your life normally without the promise keeping you in hell for six months. It won't be easy but he said he's determined to go after your decision", Seokjin said, leaving Taehyung's heart in a tumult because how could he decide? 

Of course, he wanted nothing more than to be with his Dad, Seokjin was his father after all, but he has just found to Jeongguk, the tender petals of love blossoming inside his rosy heart that has always been so easy to fall in love.

"He really said that?", Taehyung asked, still in the same thin, wavering voice that seemed to break any moment. "Yes, Taehyungie. He gave you the choice. This garden is not meant to convince you to stay with him, rather an escape if the stay becomes unbearable but it is your decision. Not Jeongguk's and not mine. I won't force you to come with me. Of course I would be euphoric, you are my precious rose after all but whatever decision you make, I will accept it", Seokjin smiled adoringly at his son, caressing his raven locks.

"I've heard of Hoseok and Yoongi, I've heard what they did to you and also what Yoongi did for you. You are free to decide whatever your heart desires, my precious son. I will love you regardless", Seokjin assured the anxious boy in front of him who was gnawing at his bottom lip scared.

"I don't know", Taehyung said softly, staring into space. "All my life, I've been so sure of my every step and what my heart wants, my future was sealed and I was happy with you and how my life turned out... now, I don't even know my own heart's desire anymore", Taehyung said unhappily, because he feared his father's reaction.

Because he was currently lying to him. Taehyung knew exactly what his heart wanted yet he was afraid to tell his father. He always has been the good child, the obedient son and he was scared to form another drama in his already split family.
