The following day, Taehyung and Jungkook had decided to settle few things then run away together.

Jungkook needed time to hand his businness for a while to right person, that being Namjoon.

He immersed himself in work the whole day but met at night with his lover, walking by the streets.

He would walk her to her house.

Untill, few days later, Jungkook again walked Taehyung to her home. Biding her a bye with a heartfelt kiss and a smile.

They shared their happy moment unaware of the pair of eyes fixated on them.

One being that of our dear Hannah.

Leaving taehyung at her house's gate, he walked to a certain distance to his car while, gazing at him, Hannah made a call, hanging up swifyly afterwards.

As jungkook's car drove off, Taehyung looked at its direction with stirred emotions.

One, that she couldn't quite define as one.

"Why are you still with him?" A voice booms behind her, startled, she turns around to find Hannah at a distance, walking up to her.

"What are you doing here?" She asks.

Hannah crosses her arms, standing right before her, holding taehyung diwn with her gaze,"I asked you first"

Taehyung diverts her gaze,"I love him."

Scoffing, Hannah looks around before fixating her gaze again on taehyung,"I can't even blame you, he's too perfect. And, you dont seem to be that needy of money to be leeching off of his family's wealth, but-" she laughs mockingly.

Taehyung, enraged, narrows her eyes at her,"It would sound more real if it were you"

Hannah's face falls, back to its cold exterior.

"So now that you know about the curse, you broke off the engagement, are you waiting for him to marry me first so i could d!e and the curse will be over?"she asks, her voice mean and mocking but her eyes held curiosity.

Taehyung laughs bitterly, "I'm not as evil as you." She pretends to laugh untill her eyes start getting glossy.

Looking away,"We will get married soon, away from everyone's eyes." She says, before continuing with a deep breathe,"I believe our love is strong enough to fight the curse. But if it isnt-" her eyes land on Hannah's curious but steady ones.

Wiping away the tears with her palms,"You can live your life, with him. I am willing to sacrifice myself if thats what it takes to be completely his even for a while." Taehyung says, her voice steady though her face said otherwise.

Hannah's hands falls to her side at her determination, taken aback by her words that sounded sincere than ever.

Hannah always knew Taehyung was a girl of truth and honesty, but this much?

"Dont you want to live happily with him together till the end? Are you trying to play some tricks crying like this infront of me?" She asks again, though her words sounded mean, she just wanted to confirm.

Taehyung while gazing at the horizon, says,"I do. But no one can play off fate. I want to have the honour of being his first love and first wife. All i want is his happiness. And if its you after i'll be gone, i'll wholeheartedly accept it."

Saying so, she walks past the gate of her house, leaving behind a wondering Hannah.

She zoned out until her phone rang.

Laughing helplessly, she leaves the spot.

The following day, Jungkook was full on smiling.

He greeted his whole family before getting to work, knowing it might not be any sooner he'll be seeing them again.

And at night, as he sat on his desk holding a velvety box protecting a ring, he smiled, picturing the life ahead.

Until, someone decided to ruin the mood.

He quickly put the box in his blazer's pocket and sat straight, face back with its cold exterior.

He pretended to be working with files.

"I saw you." The voice says as he glances up to see Hannah.

He questions, unsure of what she was talking about,"Hm?"

"I saw you buying ring yesterday." She states, firmly.

"So?" He asks, writing something in the files.

"You're running away with her, aren't you?" Jungkook stops his pens.

Looking up at her with eyes as cold as ice, he remains quite.

"That look wont scare me kook." She scoffs, looking away before glancing down at hin again with teary eyes,"That's why you cared about her life, you loved her since the very start, didn't you?"

Jungkook just focuses his gaze on the files again, "At the end, you chose someone else over your bestfriend of decades, who you know, loves you more than herself." Hannah yells, full on weeping.

"How could you do this to me jungkook? Why couldn't it be me? Why??" She broke down, slamming her fists on his desk, which he paid no mind to.

She needed to let it out.

"The love and determination in her eyes, why did it prove me unworthy of you? Wy couldn't i be the one who you would love like her? Why can't i be her?" Her cries doesnt calm down nor does her tears.

"Hannah, dont make a scene. I never saw you as someone more than my bestfriend. Your mind is faulty for the suffering right now. Please stop." He stands up to walk before her who kept on sobbing, looking down at the floor as she dropped on it.

"If that's what you want" wiping her tears, she stands up, facing him.

"If you ever come back, I'll wait for you."

Those were some unsettling words but before he could asks, she walks away, hastily.

However, he stopped stressing over it as he went to the lobby, knowing she'd be here anytime.

On the other side there was Taehyung, who took a look of her slumbering mother by peeking through her door. And after a final look at her dad's room's door, she went out sniffing but still happy.

Somehow the joy of finally being with her dear one overpowered any of her sadness.

And thus she walked out silently.

As she took a cab to a jewellery shop, she stopped to buy the most gorgeous ring for her soon to be.

Knowing it wont be the same. Not knowing what could happen after they finally share their happiest moment.

With a bag of cake and jewelery, she starts walking to the company since it was not far from there.

And as she did, suddenly a bright light emerged, making her shut her eyes tightly.

And before she knew, everything around her was dark.
