Taehyung sit on the edge of the bed, shoulders shaking as quiet sobs escaped him.

His face was buried in his hands, completely lost in his own world of pain.

The door opened softly. Sophia stepped inside, carrying a dinner tray.

The moment her eyes fell on Taehyung's trembling frame,

she froze

Without a second thought, she set the tray on the nightstand and rushed toward him.

Kneeling in front of him, she gently cupped his tear-stained face.

"Baby, what happened?" she whispered tenderly.

Taehyung looked up at her with broken, swollen eyes before throwing himself into her arms. His sobs grew harsher as he clung to her.

"S-Sophia... S-Sophia..."

She wrapped him tightly, rubbing slow circles on his back.

"Shhh, it's okay, baby. It's okay. You're brave. I know you can handle this."

"No..." Taehyung cried hoarsely.

"I'm not brave. I'm a c-coward. I'm cursed. I don't even d-deserve to live. I don't want anyone I'm scared of everyone. Because the ones I want always hurt me in the end. Or maybe... maybe I'm just too cursed..."

Sophia leaned back slightly, cupping his face again and wiping his tears with her thumbs.

"No, sweetheart. You're not cursed. You're not bad luck to anyone. Look at me....I'm here with you, and nothing happened to me. Those are just cruel words people say.

Don't let their opinions define you. You define yourself, not them. Understand?"

Taehyung's lips trembled.

"But... R-Right Now I also m-missing h-him..."

"Who?" Sophia asked softly.

Taehyung hesitated. Jungkook had told him never to reveal the truth about his mate's death. His throat tightened, but he whispered,

"Can I t-trust you?"

Sophia's expression softened as she nodded.

"Of course, my dear. You can always trust me. We're friends."

"I... I miss my mate," Taehyung confessed, voice breaking.

Sophia's eyes dimmed.

"Where is he now?"

"He's dead," Taehyung whispered.

"I'm so sorry," Sophia said quietly.

Taehyung shook his head, trembling harder.

"He's dead because of me."

"No, Taehyung," Sophia said firmly.

"It was his fate. You can't write someone's destiny."

"But whenever fate crosses with mine, it gets cursed..." Taehyung murmured

Sophia shook her head.

"I don't believe that. You were with the young lord since you were ten. Look at him now he's nineteen, and he's fine."

"But he doesn't give me time anymore," Taehyung whispered bitterly.

"He ignores me. He doesn't care like he used to... not since his mate appeared."

Sophia brushed his tears away, voice soft

"Baby, that was his mate. We can't force someone to stay in our lives. If fate has written someone for you, they will come on their own and they'll leave on their own. That's not your fault."
