Love Me Again (Taehyung X Reader)

Chapter 29: "... said the words that made my heart stop."

Y/N POV:

The instant I stepped into the house, I felt like I had come home. I wasn't bombarded with a flood of memories, which I was grateful for, but was instead greeted with a comfortable sense of belonging, a sense of knowing this is where I was supposed to be. It instantly made me regret my actions in the hospital the day I woke up. Because of my harsh words and refusal to believe that Taehyung was who he said he was, I was living in a tiny apartment instead of this beautiful home with my boyfriend. The memory of my dad's mention of Taehyung wanting to sell the house washed over me and it made my breath catch in my throat, a soft sound that Taehyung instantly caught.

"Baby? A-are you okay? Come on. Let's leave. It's... it's too soon." Taehyung's voice was worried as he tugged on my hand, leading me back towards the open door.

I shook my head, not ready to leave the house yet, my house, our house. "No Tae. It's not... it's not that." Turning to him, I couldn't stop the tears filling my eyes. "Please. Please don't... don't sell the house yet. Please give me time." I promised I wouldn't beg him to wait for me, beg him to not leave me, but I couldn't stop myself. I couldn't stop myself from gripping his hands tightly, afraid he was going to suddenly disappear again.

Taehyung wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close and kicking the door closed with his foot. "Oh baby no. I'm not going to sell it without talking to you about it. I promise. It... it was just something I thought of when all... all of this happened. I didn't even know if you would want to come back here ever and I didn't think I could be here without you."

Taehyung's words were enough to reassure me, pulling me out of the dark slump I was beginning to slide in to. "Do... do you swear?" I held tightly to Taehyung, my face buried in his chest.

I could feel Taehyung's arms tighten around me and his head moving against my own. "I swear. If we decide it will come to that, we will talk about it together."

Shaking my head, I clung tighter to him. "I... I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to sell our house. Please." The thought of losing something that had been such a big part of the future we had planned together tore me apart, making my heart shatter into pieces.

Letting out a sigh, Taehyung kissed the top of my head. "It's okay baby. We don't have to talk about it right now. It's okay."

Taking advantage of being in Taehyung's arms, I said nothing, just enjoying the feeling of being held, the feeling of being loved. After a moment, I pulled back and smiled wryly as I wiped the tears from my cheeks. "Can... can we go look around?"

Taehyung nodded. "Of course. We can spend as much or as little time as you need. It's up to you." Taehyung held out a hand to me and I took it gratefully.

Holding tightly to Taehyung's hand, he let me choose the direction. Leaving the front hall, we stepped into a large family room. The same pretty dark wood floors from the front wall extended into here. The walls were a pale blue color and the plush sofa was several shades darker. There were sliding glass doors that seemed to look over the large backyard and I could just make out the low hanging branch of a large tree, something I could imagine hanging a baby swing from then later on, a tire. The television mounted on the wall was the same size as the one in Jimin and Jungkook's house and I knew right away that we must have spent many evenings here, curled up and just relaxing.

I stopped to look at the photos on the shelf, seeing several of Taehyung and me, along with some of the whole group. There was a couple with Jimin, including one where I have devil horns and a red dress while Jimin is in angel wings, a halo and a white suit that fit him like a glove. I turned to Taehyung a questioning look on my face.
