Jisoo P.O.V
The next morning, we kind of ignored each other. We both wanted to stay apart but I was unfamiliar with everything here so I stick around him because you know I have a really bad sense of direction and memory
We were currently at the beach. Taehyung was nowhere to be seen. He probably left me here because he thinks I'm crazy
"No, Dad. I'm fine and um he is also good." My voice sounded heavy as I was feeling sad and emotional after hearing Dad's voice. I was always with him but right now I am not
"Take care of yourself and don't skip meals. I'll come to meet you soon." He laughed from the other side, "Of course, I'll be waiting for you." I ended the call with a heavy heart. Why must a girl go through all this? Why does she have to leave her parent's house? Why can't the guy do all this?
There were few people around. It was getting dark but I quietly admired the sunset not caring about the guys a few metres away who were catcalling me. I ignored them but a little part of me was scared so I picked up my belongings and started walking in the opposite direction from them
I ran as fast as I could when I saw them running after me. I shrieked when a hand held my waist and steadied me, "What happened?" I felt relief wash over me when I heard Taehyung's voice. As it was dark, I was unable to make out his face but I felt safe and secure around him and that's what I needed the most right now
His grip on my bare waist tightened as he saw the group of boys behind me, "O te vas a la mierda o te voy a dar una paliza." [Either you go to hell or I'm going to beat you up]
His words which I was unable to process were enough for the boys to leave from there, "You okay?" I nodded with a sigh, "Where were you? You left me there without even telling me anything." I wanted to shout at him but it's not his fault also. I was stubborn enough to not go with him when he asked me to
"I am sorry." I was shocked by his sudden apology. Did he say that? I would pay a large amount to hear those words from him again, "What?" I acted as if I haven't heard him, "Don't get too happy. I'm not repeating that."
I pouted but dropped it anyway, "Do you think my fit is inappropriate?" I asked him, "No, It's good. People like them should be killed without any mercy for looking at girls like that." I put my hands on my heart as I again felt it beating abnormally. Was it his words that affected me so badly? Or was it the fact that he was still holding me by my waist?
I wanted to tell him to remove his hands but at the same time, I didn't. As soon as I thought about this, he removed his hands. A wave of disappointment rushed through me. Stupid Jisoo. No. It's wrong to think like that

It was nice to see new things and travel to new places but I was done now. I wanted to go home and meet Dad. It feels like it has been years since I last saw him. I shoved my socks inside the bag and zipped it. I haven't told Taehyung about me leaving from here
I opened the door to his room without knocking only to find him talking with someone over the phone, "I'll take care of her." Who is he talking with?
He saw me standing at the door as he quickly ended the call. I squinted my eyes at his action, "Who was it?" I questioned him, "No one." There he was again. Always avoiding every single question
"Last time I checked you don't talk on the phone with yourself unless someone is talking with you from the other side." I was not letting this topic go. I have all the right to know with whom he is talking to. Am I sounding like a typical wife? Who cares? Maybe he is cheating on me? Not that I care. He can have an affair with anyone
He sighed and looked at me. "What are you doing with that bag." I took a look at my luggage before saying, "I'm leaving tomorrow. Our h-o-n-e-y-m-o-o-n phase is over." I declared emphasising the word 'honeymoon'. He stepped closer to me, my back hitting something. I was stuck between the wall and him
"Is it over? But we didn't do anything which couples usually do when they come to honeymoon." I blushed profusely. What does he even mean by that? I am infuriated by him
Before I could say anything, he cut me off, "Answer me one thing. What would you do if you find out that someone is lying and hiding something from you? Would you forgive them?"
"No, I would never forgive them especially if that lie would affect both of us," I answered truthfully while looking straight into his eyes
"What would you do if-" Taehyung's phone vibrated all of a sudden, "You should take the call." I gave him a little space but he held my arm softly, not letting me go
His thumb drew circles around my skin. I don't think it was intentional rather he is doing that unknowingly. I got tingles all over my body as I felt like my heart would leap out any moment
After his call ended he let go of my arm, "We will leave tomorrow." I nodded avoiding eye contact with him, "I'll go to my room."
We had an early morning flight. It was boring all the way. Not to mention the crowd. Taehyung was again beside me but this time his aura was a little different like he was overthinking about something but why?
As far as I know him, he was always calm. Even in hard situations, he tends to think about it with a cool mind. I was a little concerned about him, "Are you okay? It looks like you have seen a ghost or something." I tried to lighten up the situation but Taehyung would never laugh at my jokes
•••
"I'm going to meet Dad." I opened the seat belt but he stopped me, "I'll go with you." My eyes widened but I kept my mouth shut and buckled myself up again
"Dad." I hugged him tightly with a huge smile, "How was your honeymoon, sweetie." I gave him a look. "Okay okay. I won't ask you."
"Taehyung. Come here." They both sat down on the sofa, "I'll make tea." I quickly went to the kitchen feeling happy and light-hearted. Dad was someone whom I highly look up to. He is my role model and always will be
"Okay," Taehyung said to Dad. I wonder what they were talking about without me. Sometimes I feel like Dad is closer to Taehyung than me. Might be the fact that they both have known each other for a very long time. Even Mom was Taehyung stan
"Jisoo. I want to talk with you." I nodded and followed him to his room, "No matter what happens, stay with Taehyung. He will take care of you more than me."
"Why are you telling me all this." He left me hanging there and went to the bathroom, "Dad? Are you okay?" I panicked when I heard him cough from inside
"Yes. It's just I have got a little cold." When he came out from inside, "I'll stay with you until you get better." He furiously shook his head, "No. Mary is there. She will take care of me." Mary was like a family to us. She was always there for me and Dad
"But Dad-"
"No buts."
•••
"You both should have stayed there for at least one month." Taehyung's mom was quick to get angry at us for not staying in Costa Rica but Taehyung convinced her by saying that we were missing her. I giggled at her surprised face
I unpacked my last dress from the bag and put it on the shelf. "This is so tiring but Thank God I'm done." I stood up from the chair to go downstairs but suddenly I got a call from Jungkook, "Hey. Sorry, I didn't call you-"
I stopped talking as I heard sniffing from the other side, "What happened?"
"Jisoo. Uncle-" Dad?
"Say it clearly, Jungkook. What is going on?" My voice panicked immediately thinking about negative things. His next words shattered me completely
"Uncle is no more in this world."
