The sky shines brightly just before I left the house to buy chocolates for Sul Hee and now it's raining. I didn't bring an umbrella, most especially I did not bring my car since the store is just a few minutes walk from our house. I insert the two big bars of chocolates inside my pockets and my face drops almost instantaneously when I saw the face I thought I'd never see again. He looks at me with his brown hooded eyes.

It's like I'm looking at a ghost right now. How could he find me that quick?! My breath left me and I think I've held my breath. Though the weather is wet and cold, warm chills wrap my body. He holds an umbrella above his head and I stand by the exit of the convenient store, taken aback. What does he want this time? We're living a peaceful life here. I ignore the raindrops and most importantly, I ignore him and walk off.

I walk as fast as I can and dare not to turn back at him but I know he's chasing after me by the sound of his footsteps. I turn to an unfamiliar alley thinking I can lose him but unfortunately, I lost myself. I don't know this place and I'm soaked.  I shiver and run to a small shed. This place is indeed bizarre. Trees surround it, erecting tall. The dark clouds are as dark as dusk. I hug myself and look around my surroundings.

How could Taehyung come find us that easily?  Could he have followed Kara? Has he been here all the time? My stupidity of losing him on the way made me lose myself in a strange and spooky looking place. I wait for the rain to stop, or at least weaken abit but whilst anticipating, I can't help but think about Taehyung. What is it that he wants again? My lips quiver in cold and my whole body shakes. Curse him. If he hadn't appeared I'm probably at him right now.

The same figure comes out of the blue, comin forth. Taehyung.  Does he have like a tracker or something? How can he find me? I stand up whilst my frozen legs. There's nowhere and no way I can make a run for it. He'll get me anyway and even if I hide again, he'll still find me; more like locate me. He walks up to me, closing his umbrells then taking off his jacket but I notice something on his fingers; the ring. Our ring.
He's wore it.

"You don't run away from the person who knows this place better than you." Taehyung says, his voice hoarse yet it sounded pleasing in my ears. I want to ask him why he's wearing the ring but that's not important right now and whatever is his reason behind it, I have no interest to even know.

"What are you saying?" I question him.

"This is my home town, Kleah. I know every corners and surfaces of this place." He replies. Okay, so I'm paranoid. He has no tracking device. He just knows this place. Stupid me, we were married for years yet I didn't know? What kind if wife am I? "Have you forgotten that I told you I was born here?"

"That doesn't matter anymore." I say, my lips quivering and I hug myself. He comes near me and tries to drape his jacket around me when I move away. "Don't...d-don't touch me."

"You're freezing. How are you suppose to argue with me in that state? Unless you rather stay here and freeze to death." He says then gives a chortle. I want to smile too but I don't want. "Take off your coat."

I oblige his words and take off my coat. He takes it and made me wear his coat. It smells so like him. The warmth and the addicting and intoxicating smell-- I can snuggle with it all day. I look at him and he sits beside me. "You're probably wondering how I found you."

I keep my mouth shut and wait from him to continue speaking but peripherally, I see him glancing at me. "Don't get mad at Jungkook because he's the one that told me. I forced him to."

"Why force someone to tell you something when you know they won't sing at the first place?" I say under my breath but the silence of the environment made him hear it.

"It's because I know it's worth to try and s the result." He answers and rubs his palms on his thighs then crosses his arms. He's cold. I look at his jacket and then to him. 

"Why are you really here, Taehyung?" I ask.

"I can't tell you why I'm here but I can always show you." He answers with a warm smile. What on earth is that suppose to mean? I don't want to ask anymore. I take off his jacket and snatch mine back.

"Thank you for your coat." I say and walk away.

"Do you know the way out?" He hollers. I stop and realise his words. I don't know how I got here and how I'll get out. Though the rain has stopped, it would still be hard going when I don't know the way.

"No." I holler back in embarrassment.

"Go straight, turn 90 degress left, go straight again, keep going right and then to your left again." He says.  Wow, so does he also bring a protractor and a ruler to measure the sizes and angles? I lazily stare at him.

"Yeah! As if I'd memorise all those ways in a minute." I groan. He knows how terrible I am in directions. He jogs to me with a smile.

"I guess I'm going with you then." He says. We walk abreast but I'd push him to go ahead. It took only a few minutes until we got back. This time, my turn to go home. He follows me and as I stop by my gate, I expect him to be standing behind me so I could invite him in but instead I saw him leave. Hand inside his pocket.

"YA! KIM TAEHYUNG!" I yell. He stops then looks at me. "Where are you going??"

"I'm going back to my house." He answers with a smile and waves.

"Don't you want to see your daughter?" I ask. His smile fades and his wave lowers. From afar, pain is written all over his face.

"I don't think she'd want to see me, Kleah. Please don't tell her I came. I know she hates me." He says which pierced my heart. That's not true. He turns his back again and left. He turns his head slightly and waves again.

Sul Hee wants to see you. Why would you think she hates you when your name is always in every sentence she constructs?
