The bright sun came in view after the team-building trip. I was happy, delighted even to spend some time with her.

She was a breeze, a fresh one that fills my lungs with new oxygen.

The wind briefly blowing, her soft blonde locks were playing around the wind and the flower crown on top of her head.

The bright happy smile plastered on her lips, her figure dancing around the flowery meadows as the sun raised behind her.

Beautiful, a beautiful sight that left me in awe. My heart thumping loudly inside my chest, a smile on my lips.

Our memories came in blur, as I was enjoying the time we had together. The thought of having these memories for myself, only for you and I.

The way you gaze at me, the soft smiles that leaves my mind clouded with pure bliss.

Like a dove, soaring high towards the skies, their kingdom, their freedom.

Minutes turned into hours then into days, I've counted the days that we were apart. My mind wandering in deep thought on what you were up to today?

I didn't have the courage to face her myself. It has been a while since I confessed to myself that I truely fell for her

The version that is full of beautiful flaws and scars, I'll kiss and accept them as they are a part of you.

I wanted to see you, and I did within a distance. I stared from afar, a bright smile on your lips. I instantly smiled.

The sun seemed brighter, laughter around were ringing on my ears but my eyes were only focused on you.

I chuckled at how you clumsily designed the dress but still worked with passion, you never gave up easily and fought for your freedom.

You sacrificed your freedom for your family before, and now, your living the life you want to point that you protected that freedom.

I pushed my body off the wall and turned my body. Hands inside my pockets as my back faced her direction, walking away in a better mood.

Work doesn't seem suffocating as much as it used too.

I finally like someone after all these years of shutting down this heart of mine. Jennie Kim, you really are a special person.

I gazed down the glass window, the sun climbing down as it painted the skies with yellow and orange hues of a sunset.

I used to be a rainy sky, clouded with anger, resentment and arrogance. I get angry easily, a closed-minded man.

I slowly warmed up to the gang as they proved that they wouldn't leave me but I still appear cold to them.

I tease them from time to time but they get nothing more. I allowed myself to open slightly, limiting to friends only.

I was scared to open my heart, to open that vulnerable version of myself.

The young Taehyung who kept crying when his mother got ill when she gave birth to me, as father more focused on money and power.

My mother left me with my father who didn't care about well-being. I was just a pawn for his chess board.

I thought that everything was slowly getting better, he made me snap.
