Taehyung steps inside despite his fever and immediately feels a knot in his stomach when he doesn't see y/n. Panic grips him as he rushes outside, calling for her, but his calls echo unanswered. Desperation sets in as he questions his guards, only to receive negative responses. Taehyung's heart pounds louder as he hurries back upstairs, frantically checking every room, but y/n is nowhere to be found.

Defeated, he returns downstairs, his voice trembling as he whispers, "Y/n... where are you? Please come back I know I don't deserve your love, but do I really deserve this much hate ?" Tears stream down his face as he collapses, overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty. Then, from behind, a shaky voice calls out, "T-taehyung..."

Taehyung turns around, his eyes widening with relief and longing as he sees y/n. Without hesitation, he rushes to her and pulls her into a tight embrace, holding her as if afraid she might disappear again. "Y/n, where did you go? I thought I had lost you forever," he chokes out between sobs.

Y/n's voice quivers as she apologizes, "I'm sorry too, Taehyung... I shouldn't have been so harsh on you ...." Taehyung's grip tightens as she whispers, “ You do deserve love." They hold each other tightly, their tears mingling, both overwhelmed with emotions.

"I was so scared," Taehyung finally manages to say, his voice barely above a whisper. Y/n gently pulls away and looks into his eyes, her own filled with regret. "I... I went to get some medicine," she confesses softly. "Painkillers... for abdominal muscle pain. I got them prescribed when I was with my dad. I didn't mean to worry you."

Taehyung's heart aches at her words, realizing how much pain she must have been in. Taehyung looks at y/n with deep concern and gently tells her that relying on painkillers like this won't help, she needs to see a doctor. "We'll go together," he assures her, taking her hand to lead her outside. But just as he's about to guide her out, y/n interrupts, her voice shaky, "It's not that serious, Taehyung. I'm fine. It's just some pain that's been lingering since I was with my dad."

Taehyung furrows his brow, sensing something more. "What happened then?" he asks softly.
Y/n hesitates before blurting out, "I... I had an accident when I was with my dad... and I got injured in the abdominal area, but I'm okay now. The pain comes and goes."Taehyung looks into y/n's eyes, seeing the truth reflected in them, and says, "Tell me the truth." y/n's eyes widen at his demand, and she angrily retorts, "Do you think I'm lying? Why don't you trust me even a little?" she replies, her voice cracking with emotion.
"That's not true, I trust you more than anyone—" Taehyung starts, but y/n cuts him off, "Then no more questions... let's go inside." And with that, y/n goes inside, with Taehyung following behind.
With a heavy heart, Taehyung follows y/n inside, feeling the weight of her pain and his own guilt settling in.
As they walk inside, y/n's mind races with guilt and murmured..."I'm sorry, Taehyung, I lied to you."
"Let's have breakfast," y/n gestures for Taehyung to sit down and bring food from the kitchen. They eat together. "Y/n, please come with me to the doctor. I know your dad already took you, but still—"
"Shh, we shouldn't talk while eating," y/n interrupts, trying to avoid the conversation.
After they finish breakfast, they head upstairs, where y/n prepares a homemade remedy for Taehyung's fever. She hands him the cup, "Drink this, it'll help you feel better."
Taehyung takes a sip and looks at her gratefully. As y/n was about to leave the room, Taehyung stops her. "I know you might think I'm being selfish by saying this, but that's not it.... continue your studies. I've made so many mistakes before, but I'm going to correct all the mistakes," he says earnestly. y/n gives him a smile, but it's mixed with sadness.
She goes to her room and starts crying, wondering if she should or shouldn't forgive Taehyung. "Did I do the right thing? But he had a difficult childhood just like me. He didn’t get love, just like I didn’t," she whispered to herself. The guilt of lying about the accident weighs heavily on her. "I've never had an accident, Taehyung... I lied to you... the truth is—"
Just then, Taehyung knocks on the door. "Y/n, open the door... your dad is on the phone."Y/n wipes her tears and opens the door. Taehyung hands her the phone. "H-hello... Dad," she answers.
On the call, her dad's voice is stern. "Oh, my daughter sounds so happy... I didn't arrange your marriage for your enjoyment, I did it for my company. Your husband isn't going to work, and my company isn't benefiting from it. Tell him to start working with me again! Understand? Y/n stammers, "D-dad, but—".."Shh... Do as I say. Have you forgotten my temper? If you don’t, I can bring you back home. Then you'll see how much I 'love' you," he threatens before hanging up.Taehyung, noticing her distress, asks, "Is everything okay? What did your dad say?"..."Dad said you need to start working again because his company is suffering," y/n replies hesitantly. "Yeah, I was planning to go back to work today. I also talked to him about your studies, and he was really happy about it," Taehyung says comfortingly. Y/n forces a smile, "He loves me so much...”. Taehyung smiled at her and "Hmm, alright. From today, you can continue your studies, so get ready we will go together.” says Taehyung.Y/n nods and heads inside to get ready. After a while, she comes downstairs, ready, and Taehyung is already waiting for her. "Shall we?" he asks, looking at her with admiration. "You look beautiful..."y/n blushes slightly, "Yeah, let’s go." Taehyung quickly collects himself, and they head to the car.Taehyung drops y/n off at her study center. "Study well, my love," he says warmly , she smiles and waves goodbye to him. As she walks inside, she hears a deep voice calling her out, "Y/n... I mean, Daisy!" , hearing this y/n turns around and “You !”
