CHAPTER 26
Resolution

Maybe it's time to end this all.  

With shaky hands, Taehyung grasped the circled rope in his hands as he released a breathy cry.

He forgot what time it was. All he saw was a dark room being lightened by the sun about to set. Every painful memory, every hurtful conversations, it all flash backed to his mind in a split second.

'So this is what happens if you decide everything's over'. he thought. "I- I should've written a note." he sadly smiled.

Everything was set, all he needed to do was to jump. But for some reason, something is stopping him from doing it.

"No-Nobody is going to notice," he negatively assured himself. "I-It'll be painful, but it will all be over soon."

Creak.

"What the--"

A sudden push made Taehyung tumble down the ground. His sides hurt because of the sudden impact, but at least there was no rope around his neck.

His eyes were still damp with tears, so his eye sight was a bit blurry. Nevertheless, he tried to stand up from the floor to go back up. Maybe it wasn't somebody or the wind pushing him, maybe it was just his knees that went soft, causing him to fall down side first on the floor.

Taehyung planted both of his palms underneath him to push himself up, but before he can even add strength to push, a sudden warmth surrounded his body. He didn't know what or who it was, although after that happened, he began to break down in tears.

"What the fuck are you doing?" a person asked behind him, tightening his grasp around Taehyung's body. "I've been looking for you at the dormitory. I'm lucky I knew where you lived, I got to stop you from trying to--Tae!"

"Don't hold me! I need to disappear, I want to!" Taehyung cried, shoving the arms of the person behind him away as he reached for the chair.

"You don't know what you're saying. You can't disappear."

Taehyung hardheadedly continued to push the person behind him away while hugging the chair. The person was right, he wasn't thinking properly right now. All he wanted to do was to be gone.

"Why?! Why do you want to die?!" the person shouted for Taehyung to hear him. The room was filled by his painful sobs, it was hard to calm a person who was mentally breaking down.

"I-I fucked up my life. Everything is against me... don't touch me! You wouldn't understand!"

As he said those words, Taehyung went up the chair in a hurry, back to position he was in earlier. He even accidentally scratched the person's cheek and arm in the process.
