With the rumors finally settling down and support growing from fans and friends alike, Taehyung and Y/N began to find their rhythm again. They returned to their normal routines, though they still kept a careful eye on the media. The calm after the storm felt surreal, but they were grateful for it.
One evening, Y/N was tidying up around the apartment when Taehyung got a call from his manager. He looked at Y/N, mouthing, "It's her." Y/N's heart skipped a beat, knowing he was talking about his ex—the one who had started all the chaos.
Taehyung answered, his voice steady but cold. "What do you want?"
A pause, and then a soft, shaky voice on the other end. Y/N couldn't hear the exact words, but they saw Taehyung's expression soften. Whatever she was saying, it seemed genuine.
When the call ended, Taehyung took a deep breath, looking conflicted. He walked over and took Y/N's hand, guiding them to sit with him on the couch.
"She... apologized," he began, his voice almost incredulous. "She admitted that she lied to the press. She said it was a mistake—a desperate move to get back at me, but she didn't realize how far things would go."
Y/N felt a mixture of relief and anger. "So, she's admitting it now? After everything we went through?"
Taehyung nodded. "She wants to release a public statement, setting the record straight."
Y/N took a deep breath, processing this new information. After everything they'd been through, it felt like a strange, bittersweet victory.
"Do you... forgive her?" Y/N asked, searching Taehyung's face.
He hesitated, then shook his head. "I can't forget the damage she caused, but maybe I can forgive her—for my own peace of mind."
Y/N squeezed his hand, understanding the struggle he was facing. "Then let's accept her apology and move forward."
A few days later, the ex released a heartfelt statement admitting to the fabrication, taking responsibility for the rumors. The story spread quickly, and soon, public opinion completely shifted, with fans and the media rallying behind Taehyung and Y/N. It felt like a victory, but also a lesson in the power of truth.
That evening, as they watched the city lights from Taehyung's balcony, Y/N leaned against him, feeling a sense of closure.
"This whole experience... it's made me realize how strong we are together," Taehyung whispered, wrapping an arm around Y/N. "Nothing can break us."
Y/N smiled, feeling a warmth bloom in their chest. They knew their relationship had been tested and had come out stronger on the other side. And as they stood there together, gazing out at the world, they felt ready to take on whatever came next—side by side.
