I was in front of Bora's university, waiting for her. Later, pupils were walking out of the gate. I tried to find Bora in a crowd. A moment later, Jake and Soohyun walked out but Bora wasn't there with them. I walked towards them and asked if she came to school today. Sadly, she didn't come today. They didn't ask me what happened to respect my privacy as well. They got all my respect. So I asked for their phone numbers to contact if she came to school anytime and gave me an update about her.

After that, I left and headed to her house. I was worried about her. What if she only stayed in the room for a whole day? At the time she attended college, she never wanted to be absent. This must be serious when she didn't want to come. I speeded up as fast as I could.

I couldn't go inside the house. I didn't have the right to enter this house as well. So I just stopped in front of the gate and phoned Ahjuma.

" Hello, Ahjuma. This is Taehyung."

(Where did you stay last night? Are you okay?)

" I stayed at my friend's house. And yes, I'm not okay." I chuckled. " By the way, Is Bora home?"

I could hear her sigh through the phone, (She has been in her room for a whole day. She refuses to eat. She hasn't eaten since the morning.)

I rubbed my face and bit my lower lip, " Gosh, how can she do that to herself? It's all my fault." I winced. " She doesn't deserve to be like this at all."

(Don't blame yourself. It just happened. It's what you guys have to go through. There will be a solution.)

" Can you give updates about her? Text me or call me, telling me where she is, what she is doing, or anything that happens to her." I pleaded.

(I will do it for you. You need to rest too. Later, she will be better. Don't worry! I will take care of her.)

We talked on the phone for a while then I left. I felt guilty for what happened. I needed to be responsible for this. I wouldn't let Bora hurting herself like this. Suddenly, a tear rolled down my cheek while I was driving. I wiped it.

" Don't cry! Man up, Kim Taehyung!" I yelled to myself. " Bora, hang on there. I promise to be responsible for this."

[Bora's POV]

I felt like living in a darkness that I couldn't find a way to escape. I hadn't got out of my room. I hadn't eaten anything. But I didn't feel hungry or sick. I felt empty. My tears kept rolling down without stopping. I couldn't control it so just let it be. I wanted to find a solution to be back. But one of my minds told me not to. It told me to just let him go. It convinced me to end this. I bet it's ego. I didn't want to follow it but it grew bigger in my head. It controlled all the actions. I couldn't help.

The next day, I decided to get out of my room. I took a long shower since I didn't shower at all last day. As I finished showering, I dressed up nicely. Then I got out of the room, heading downstairs.

When Ahjuma saw me walking downstairs, she walked towards me, " Are you okay?" She stroked my arm in worried.

I tried to smile and nodded, " Not really okay. But I'm better than yesterday."

" that's good. What do you want to eat? I will cook for you."

" I want to eat seaweed soup," I said excitedly. " Can you cook it for me?"

She didn't think twice and nodded immediately, " Why not? As long as you want to eat, I'm willing to do everything." she smiled widely. " So please wait for it. I'm going to cook now." then she headed to the kitchen.
