"Come in", he opened the door for me and my heart sank to the bottom of the ocean.

I stood in front of the door to scanned the surrounding before finally stepping in.

"I hope you're not too grossed out by this"

The house was certainly not for a living person. That's all I managed to think. It's clear that it was abandoned for years before he finally moved back in. The house only had one light in the center and very dirty.

"Is this where you and your family used to live?", I was dumbfounded so this stupid question slipped out of my tongue

He nodded slowly and tidied up the couch. I only stood there, pity can be seen all over my face as Taehyung noticed that.

"It's not your average modest home, but it holds so many memories", he chuckled sadly and pat a seat next to him.

He wiped the tears on his eyes and sniffled. Both of us didn't where to begin and we stayed quiet for a while, but it was a comforting silence knowing that he's okay.

"Uhm...", we both said at the same time

"You go first", I softly said as he took a deep breath and looked into my eyes

"A-about last time, I am truly sorry. I didn't know what came over me", he sighed

"I-I was angry that you knew, but I knew it wasn't your fault. I was afraid that you'll get scared of me, so I thought I should end it before you do. I wanted to approach you first but I couldn't, I was too selfish", his eyes were teary and his voice was shaking

I pursed his lips together to shut him up.

"I forgive you and you don't need to tell me things that you're not comfortable talking about", I smiled warmly as a tear fell from his eyes.

"Also, you need to stop crying, you're not the untouchable Taehyung everyone feared, you're just a crybaby", his lips curled up into a smile and he hugged me.

"Thank you", he giggled a bit causing butterflies in my stomach.

"How have you been this past week?", Taehyung curiously asked as I shrugged

"Okay I guess and I skipped class today", I proudly stated as his stared at me with wide eyes

"You did what?! How?", his eyes sparkled as I laughed

"I used my privilege to go out of class in the name of student council", Taehyung laughed at my statement. I missed his laugh.

"How about you?", his smile vanished and replaced by a deep sigh
