Y/N had spent weeks drowning in guilt, unable to shake the weight of the pain she had caused Taehyung. Not a day passed without her thoughts drifting back to him the love they had shared, the trust that had been broken, and the overwhelming loneliness that had followed. She replayed every moment in her mind, wishing she had done things differently, wishing she had trusted him when it mattered most. The guilt consumed her, making her feel unworthy of the love Taehyung had so openly given.

When she heard about the concert, she knew she had to be there. Even though she felt undeserving, she couldn't stay away. She needed to see him, to hear his voice, even if it was from afar. As the concert began, she stood in the crowd, surrounded by the sea of ARMY, feeling the energy of the fans who had always supported him. But unlike them, her heart was heavy with the burden of her actions.

Then came the moment she hadn't expected the moment Taehyung stopped the music and began to speak. His voice trembled with emotion as he confessed his love for her, declaring it to the entire world. Y/N's heart clenched as she listened to his words, tears streaming down her face. The sincerity in his voice, the raw pain he expressed it broke her. She knew he was right, that he had always loved her, but everything had become so tangled, so confused, that it had eventually broken them apart.

As the concert ended, Y/N felt a surge of emotion she couldn't contain. She couldn't stay hidden in the crowd any longer. With all the strength she could muster, she pushed through the throngs of people, her only thought being to reach him, to see him. She didn't care about the stares, the whispers none of it mattered. She had to get to Taehyung.

When she finally reached backstage, there he was, standing with his back to her, speaking with his manager. Without thinking, she ran to him, her heart pounding in her chest. She gripped him so tightly, her arms wrapping around him as if she never wanted to let him go. Her sobs were uncontrollable, her emotions spilling out in waves as she clung to him. It was as if all the love she had kept bottled up was pouring out in that moment.

Taehyung turned, surprised to find Y/N in his arms, but as soon as he saw her tear-streaked face, his own heart broke all over again. He pulled her close, holding her as she cried, feeling the weight of their shared pain. She dropped to her knees, unable to stand any longer, and Taehyung followed her down, cradling her in his arms as she wept. The sight of them brought tears to the eyes of everyone around them, including Taehyung's manager and the staff who had witnessed their tumultuous journey.

ARMY, always supportive, began to chant words of encouragement, their love for Taehyung extending to Y/N as they saw the depth of her emotions. They had always been his strength, and now they extended that strength to her, helping to lift the weight of guilt and shame she had carried.

Through her tears, Y/N managed to choke out an apology, her voice trembling with regret. "I'm so sorry, Taehyung. I'm so, so sorry. I never should have doubted you. I never should have let my fears get in the way of what we had. Please, forgive me. I love you so much, and I hate that I hurt you."

Taehyung's own tears fell as he listened to her, his heart aching with the pain of the past weeks. He had longed to hear those words, to know that she still loved him despite everything. "Y/N," he whispered, his voice breaking. "I forgive you. I never stopped loving you, not for a second. We'll get through this, together."

Their reunion was heart-wrenching, filled with the rawness of emotions that had been held back for far too long. But in that moment, they began to heal. The staff and Taehyung's manager gave them the space they needed, knowing that this was the first step toward rebuilding what had been broken.

With ARMY's support, they were able to bring Izzy down, her lies and manipulation exposed for what they were. The chaos that had surrounded them began to fade, replaced by a renewed sense of hope. Taehyung knew they needed time away from everything, away from the media, the scrutiny, and the pain that had consumed them.

He made the decision to take a break, to escape with Y/N to a place where they could be alone, where they could focus on each other and the love that had never truly left them. It was time to leave the chaos behind and start fresh, to heal the wounds that had kept them apart for too long. Together, they would rebuild what had been broken, and this time, they would make sure nothing could come between them again.
