[The number that you have dialed is out of reach]

[End of flashback]

[Author's pov]:

A lone drop of tear rolled down Taehyung's cheek as all the flashbacks started hitting him hard all over again. The more he tried to get rid of this pain the more it would hurt. He couldn't help but feel betrayed....betrayed by someone whom he loved more than he could ever imagine. He found peace in her...the type of peace which he never felt before in his entire lifetime.

The one he trusted more than anyone else. A thought crossed his mind. What if this is not the truth? What if there is more to this? But then again why is she not here with me? Where did she go? Why did she leave me....if it was not the truth then why...did she leave me? Where did you...g-go..y/n..? W-why did you just leave me?

As he laid back down on his bed, he could feel his hands trembling as if he was experiencing the same amount of pain all over again. The pain of getting betrayed by the same person all over again. By the person...who was meant to be his world and not the reason behind his pain.

"How did...things turn out this way...y/n?", he murmured as he brought his trembling hand to his face and covered his eyes.

This feeling of betrayal I can't seem to shake off....it's hurting a lot again....and it's still because of you...why? It shouldn't hurt then why is it hurting so bad? Wasn't I supposed to hate you? Then why...why does your every small action hurt me?

How easily you moved on...meanwhile, I am still stuck in your memories...in our memories. For the last 5 years, the only thing that I did was search for you, and when I finally found you, I got to know that I lost you at the same time.

How cruel can you be?

How heartless can you even be? How can you be so selfish..? Just how..? How did I fail to see this side of you?

The weight of a shattered heart is the heaviest.

Meanwhile: at y/n's place: [y/n's pov]:

"Mumma, who was that uncle?", I was about to take another bite but stopped midway and shifted my gaze towards Ara who was sitting beside me at the dining table. Her eyes were glowing and she had a bright smile on her lips as she asked me about him and somehow that pained me.

She just met him today and now look at that glow on her face. She doesn't even know he was none other than her dad. My daughter met her dad today for the first time but look how unfortunate of a mother I am. Can't even tell her...who he was.

"Ara, finish your dinner fast", I replied, ignoring her question. And what else can I even do? I hate what I am doing but at the same time...I hope they never meet each other again. I don't want her to ask about him. I don't want my child to ever mention him again.

"Mumma-"

"Enough, finish your dinner, and head back to your room. You have school tomorrow", I cut her off. "Was he your friend mumma? Can I meet him again? Can we-"

"Stop being a brat and eat your dinner fast. I asked you to finish your dinner and head back to your room. Did you not hear me?", I looked at her with angry eyes.

She went silent at my words. I could see tears welling up in her eyes as she quickly got down from the chair and ran toward her bedroom.

My heart was crushed as I called her out until she disappeared from my sight.

"Ara-"

But she did not stop. I could feel my heart crumbling inside my chest as I placed down the fork from my hand and clenched my fists tightly. My eyesight started turning blurry as Mom looked at me in disbelief and raised her voice at me for the very first time.
