"I don't want to leave the house Tae," I tried hard to argue, and shot him a cute face, thinking he would agree.

"Minseo you have to get some fresh air, we can buy something on the way." I forced myself to stand up, considering the positivity. Everything's going to be okay, I reassured myself for the hundredth time, and Taehyung helped me put my slippers on. We get out of the house and I heard the Taehyung's house keys jingling. I took a few careful steps forward.

I couldn't make out the weather that day, but damp air brushed past my face to which my skin started to emit a little moisture. Taehyung slipped his fingers into mine and we were already walking. "Where are we going?"

"To the park." He immediately replied. A sense of dread captures my thoughts. The park was 20 minute walk, which was far away for me. Plus, the remembrance of my blindness made a lot of other stuff worse. I had a series of predictions circle my thoughts and the fear physically tightened my grip on Taehyung's hand. He gave me a look, a blank look, and focused back on the path.

A few minutes of silence went by, and Taehyung had hesitance painted all over his face. He hesitated to tell me something but went over the thing probably a thousand times in his head.

I decided to focus on the breeze and everything else around me rather than me and my world. But somehow, the air felt strange.

Dry and with a sharp scent lingering around me. It was a particular smell, but I couldn't get the name of it. Telling Taehyung sounded like a bad idea for some reason, so I scratched my chin and kept my focus straight, trying to not look..maybe alert.

After a while, we reach the park.

"You sit here okay? I'll go get us something to eat." Taehyung's plan sounded like asking me to stay overnight in a haunted house while he could go party with his friends.

I knew my thoughts were being ridiculous at the moment, but they weren't helping me cope up with my problems. I looked towards a direction and an unsure hum left my throat. Taehyung took his seat on the bench and had a hand over mine,

"It'll just take 5 minutes. Don't worry." His soft tone resonated in my drums, but my brain had taken it in ghostly. What am I saying? He's just helping me..

I nodded at him and felt his fingers brush away from mine. His footsteps reminded me he wasn't going to come back after a few frightful minutes.

With a large huff from the back of my throat following his departure, I put my hands over each other, and my legs automatically start to shake as time goes by. It was enduring a lot of hours without him around me yet it had been a minute in reality.

I scheduled my day to sleep on the bed entirely, and organize my thoughts. I pictured drinking hot chocolate and staring into nothingness. My thoughts were helping me get nowhere. I groaned at myself, and stared down at my thighs, intertwining my fingers together.

Though I had daydreamed about something random, my brain pushes me back into my past.

Jungkook.. My brain recognized, I could already feel the instant trepidation nearing me. I started feeling disgusted when the feeling of his hands imprinted back on my skin.

Who knew.. I lowly chuckled, I seemed really excited about meeting my new neighbour that day, more curious about who he was. I remembered wondering if he was a mafia with atleast three girlfriends. Or an ordinary yet arrogant business man.

Or when a girl came out from his 'house', crushing him into a hug. Was that Lisa? As she appeared in my head, I started to wonder where she had been all this while. The last time I saw her was in the park when I was with Jun Myeon.

And that was a long long time back.

The moment I saw Jungkook with his arms around a wonderful looking lady. When she teased me about my weight and appearance. I hadn't seen her after that.

Had they broke up? With the whole idea and impression about Jungkook sounding sickening, I tried to distract myself from him. I was not going to think about anything else further than that. Not now. I craved a distraction.

Taehyung. I was snapped back to reality. Time seemed to have went by awfully fast, or he was trying to be quick. I heard loud pacing on my left, and a puffing Taehyung came into view. He held a huge bag with food, but with a worried expression.

"Minseo!" he said, and I discerned the change of his tone. It was more concerned. "Minseo!" He repeated and I sensed a drop of weight beside me.

His hands reached to my shoulders and he let the food lay on the ground, not destroyed. "Did someone come? Are you okay? Was anyone trying to talk to you?" A moment of my confused silence gave the answer.

"What?" Was the only thing I could blurt out. I was pretty convinced he let me be for 5 minutes until he came back. All I ever did was overthink my surroundings and took a shitty small trip to my past. "You were gone for 5 minutes, Tae. And no, nobody was with me. I was alone. Why? Is everything okay?" I explained more calm and let my hand touch his on my shoulder.

"You sure? Nothing happened right?" He went on, and my eyebrows furrowed deeply in utmost confusion. But I detected he had a reason behind his anxiety. "No Taehyung." I denied again, and this time brought his hand over on my lap, suprised at it shaking.

"I-I just got this text a minute ago." Taehyung confessed and ran his fingers roughly through his hair.

"What did it say?"

"I..don't know. It was from an unknown." Taehyung replied. I figured who the anonymous could be, but hesitation wrapped my face. I shouldn't be sure. It could be someone playing tricks on him. "Like Jungkook.." I spoke my thoughts out loud, and Taehyung's lips curved downwards as as reaction.

"Well what did it say?" It was now Taehyung's turn to look extremely dubious. He parted his lips, but he voiced out in a whisper.

"01:20 25h <333."
