I lied

Mrs. Kim appreciates Wonwoo's efforts in trying to coax Tae to at least come out from his room. Woonwoo came by every day and would sometimes just sit by Tae's door and play his guitar.

Tae finally emerged from his room one day. "Hi Wonwoo, do you want to go out to dinner? I could eat some japchae right now" Woonwoo gasped at how skinny Tae had become but didn't mention it. "Sure Tae, but you're paying okay?"

Mrs. Kim didn't tell Tae that Mingyu came back from Busan with JK and told her he was going back to London. She knew something was off and although he's her nephew, she was somewhat relieved. She's happy that Tae finally joined the world of the living again and wasn't about to offer any updates about his cousin. Plus, Tae never asked.

Tae and Wonwoo started spending time together and this pleased Mrs. Kim. She could tell Wonwoo deeply cares about her son and wondered if he had romantic feelings towards Tae. At this moment though, that's not a priority. She just wants Tae to get healthier and start healing. The fact that they both love music also helps.

One night, Wonwoo drove Tae home after attending a Bruno Mars concert. Their spirits were high. As they got out of the car, Wonwoo started singing "I'ma leave the door open" and Tae chimed in "leave the door open, open". They started laughing.

Mrs. Kim watched them from the living room window with a smile.

None of them noticed that Jungkook was watching from his room too.
Jungkook watched Tae laughing with Wonwoo and felt a stab to his heart. Then the lyrics started writing itself:
"oh you're so pretty, you're so soft.
I couldn't erase those memories that seemed so fragile.
I want to see you, I wanted to touch you so much
I know it's not allowed but I try to turn back time.
I lean on one side of the room and call your name,
But only your forgottten voice comes back.
I'm always waiting for you like this,
Tell me to just stay....
You...say yes"
