Hi my loves.
I know — I usually leave a note at the end but I thought I'd drop this before yall read the chapter.

So the lifestyle has changed. I added this , because it's okay to restart life when things go south. Do not let your past sins stop you from being a different person.

Stay happy my babies♡.

Also, I published late because I'm sick...I did not abandon you guys ♡.

Next chapter will be longer ♡

"Stop", I laugh and push away his hand. "I'm just curious ", he teased and gave my cheek a pinch.

His laugh was surreal. It sounded like a memory— a blissful one, filled with hope and light. I reach out to touch his skin — warm as always. We could be in deep winter and Taehyung would still feel warm to me — like an ever burning fireplace , it would not set me ablaze but it would keep danger from nearing.

"Why do you love me?", I rest my chin against his chest as he stared at me with those mesmerizing eyes. "That's a sudden question ", he mumbled and stroked my head. "Why?", he pout and pretend to think hard. "You are such an ass", I playfully swat his chest. "I am?", he turned us over, pinning me to the bed. "Am I an ass?", he nudged my nose with his. "Sometimes ", I whisper. "Then I should punish you. You don't deserve to know why I love you", he grinned. "See— sometimes you're an ass", I roll my eyes , earning a kiss from him. "Keep rolling those eyes, baby. It turns me on", he snickered, burying his face against my neck. "Tae, do you not have an answer?", I ask as he released my hands, allowing me to slip them into his disheveled hair. "I do have an answer, baby", he whispered.

"Tell it to me", I smile at the ceiling.

"I will — eventually"...

My eyes flicker open like the morning sun. Tears trickling down my cheeks as the crow chimed to signal daybreak.

I sit up in bed, staring down at my shivering hands. This dream — its the same dream I've been having for the past 7 months. It was the kind of dream which twisted and tugged at my heart, making my body shiver and lip quiver from the pain etched deep within my soul. It felt as if I were been clouded with darkness. A thick black smoke suffocating and making me gasp for dear life. I wish I could bury myself in water and drown for eternity — a painful death of struggling and begging for water to not crash into my lungs and crush them until I was pale and chapped and washed up on some foreign shore — for strangers to find me and give me a quick burial with no tombstone to state who laid in this barren soil.

Taking a deep breath — I calm myself before clumsily wiping away the tears. It was just after 6 in the morning — time to begin with my daily tasks as an assistant at a convent in Switzerland. The convent was located near a foothill , surrounded by plantation and fields of flowers. It was breathtaking.

What was I doing here?

Simple — they had gotten what their hearts desired, to get rid of me. Namjoon made sure I found an occupation elsewhere— far away from them and Taehyung. I had no one to back me up,  no one to stand by my side and allow me to see Taehyung. I don't even know if he woke up. The thought of Taehyung being dead just — it made me want to tie a rope around a tree and just end it all. But — I was quite fortunate to find this vacant job. His love and memories kept me alive and breathing. I may have forgotten about the life I had in New York,  but Taehyung will forever remain in my heart— locked away where no one can find him. Our memories were safe with me.
