It's been two days since Taehyung last returned to the mansion. Jungkook called him initially, but Taehyung couldn't muster the courage to pick up the phone. After that, Jungkook stopped calling altogether.

Taehyung spent these days contemplating whether he should return or not. His mind was a whirlwind of confusion, and Yoongi, who was typically his support, had advised him to make his own decision. "Your life, your love, it's all yours to decide," Yoongi had said, leaving Taehyung to wrestle with his thoughts alone.

Sighing deeply, Taehyung stopped in front of a church, purchased candles, and walked inside. After a quiet prayer, he sat silently at a pew, gazing up at Jesus.

An hour had passed when he suddenly felt a presence beside him. The church father approached and asked, "So, what are you complaining about, Taehyungie?"

Taehyung looked up and managed a small grin. "Nothing, Father. How are you?"

The father raised an eyebrow. "I'm fine, but you don't look well. You actually look like someone just coming out of a coma!"

Taehyung chuckled softly and lowered his head. "It's not like that. I'm fine."

Noticing Taehyung’s reluctance to share more, the father decided not to press further. "So, where have you been? It's been almost three months since you last came here."

"Just got a job as a bodyguard. Can't leave my boss alone," Taehyung replied, trying to make light of the situation. He chuckled again at his own words, feeling the irony of his statement, he had already left Jungkook alone.

The father observed Taehyung's troubled demeanor. "It's good to see you again, but Taehyung-ah, are you okay?"

Taehyung didn't respond. He didn't say he was fine, knowing it was a lie. The desperation in his eyes was palpable.

"Come, let's go outside," the father said, leading the way. Taehyung followed, and they walked through the graveyard to the back of the church.

"Now tell me," the father urged once they were outside.

Taehyung sighed and said, "I'm just hanging in the middle. I need to make a decision, but I don't know what to decide, Father."

His voice was laden with desperation, a stark contrast to the usually cheerful and thoughtful Taehyung. The father could sense the gravity of Taehyung's situation.

As they stood by the graveyard, the father pointed to a boy sitting on the ground, weeping in front of a grave. The boy clutched a bouquet of roses, his sobs echoing in the quiet.

Taehyung and the father heard him repeating,

"I'm sorry, my love. I'm so sorry."

"You see him?" the father said, gesturing toward the grieving boy. Taehyung nodded, feeling a pang of sadness for the boy's sorrow.

"His lover, Rosie, was pregnant with his child. But when she told him this, he, in panic, said he didn’t want the child and that he never loved her. He told her to get an abortion! He was only 19 at the time. He was scared about how he was going to take responsibility for the child and her. In his panic, he just said whatever came to his mind, without realizing the damage he had done." father said like he's seeing the story before his eyes.

"After calming down, he talk to his mom about it. he loved rosie. can't just leave her in her down. she was his life reason to smile. So after talking with his mother. His mom was happy about it and accepted everything, his dad was little unhappy but his mom told him she'll make his father accept it, and not to worry much! But his whole happiness crushed down. When later that night, he get call from his girlfriends friend, get to know rosie is no more. She has killed herself plus the baby. She was depressed too. There was no way for her to go. Her only place to go, was her boyfriend, the father of her child who already rejected everything. Rosie were just 17 years old at that time. Don't know what to do. She did was looked easy for her. That was killing herself.! It's been two years rosie has left him.. But he's still there where rosie was with him. Holding rosie more tighter then before. Regretting every said thing of that day..
