Doll {Completed}

Chapter 2

(TAEHYUNG)

"Mr. Kim? It's already pass lunch time" I heard my secretary from outside the office.

I just ignored him and continues on typing the paperworks. I need something to get my mind out of what happened weeks ago that until now, I can't move on.

"Mr. Kim please. You'll get sick if you continue like that" My secretary said and I sighed.

"I appreciate the concern Wooseok. But please, leave me alone for a while" I said back and I heard him sighed before he walked away.

I was about to continue in working when my phone rung. I peaked at the caller and mumbled a few profanities before answering the call.

"Jin hyung?" I asked but,

"What the hell Kim Taehyung?! Your assistant told me you're not eating! Don't tell me you're planning on following your daughter to heaven because trust me Taehyung I'll drag you to hell even if you look like an angel! So stop this nonsense and eat before I shove a shovel of food in your mouth until you choke! Goodbye!"

I immediately tested my ears if they're still working cause for a damn minute I went deaf because of Jin hyung's voice. I just rolled my eyes and continued working but before I could even put my hands on the keyboard, my door was busted open and it revealed three angry birds.

"I knew it he won't listen!" Jungkook said and was about to head back to where he came from when Jin hyung grabbed his collar.

"You're not going anywhere Kook until we see him eating" Jin hyung looked dark and I unknowingly gulped.

"I think we have babysitting to do" Jimin chuckled darkly and I slowly got up from my seat.

They walked towards me and I was about to run when the door was slammed shut.

"Wooseok? Help?" I knocked but the door won't open.

"Sorry Taehyung! We're just following orders!"

"Hoseok hyung?!" I asked.

What are they doing here? I thought they're busy with their own lives?!

"Come on TaeTae! One spoon won't hurt" Jimin whined and I faced them.

"Look, I have no time to eat okay? Whenever I stopped working, I immediately remember Taelie" I said and Jungkook sat on the couch.

"So if you're working, you're forgetting Taelie? Do you think she would be happy that you're trying to forget her?" Jungkook asked and I sar back down on my chair.

"That's not what I meant Kook. I wanted to forget the pain of losing her. She's the only one who I have left and I can't even protect her" I said as the tears are threatening to fall again.

"It's not your fault Tae, everything happens for a reason. Everyone can come and go, nothing is permanent" Jimin said as he pat my shoulder.

"But I didn't expect.... That I would lose her this easily"

"We also lost an angel Taehyung. She's also our angel. We we're there when you first held her, when you always try to make her stop crying, when you try to make her smile. We witnessed how she grew up. And do you think Taelie would be happy if you're suffering like this? If you're always harming yourself?"

Jin hyung's right. But what can I do? I'm lost,  everything feels so hard all of a sudden. Like there no one who I could hold on to, it's as if I'm alone.

"You're not alone hyung. We're still here, we're not just your friends, we're also your family" Jungkook said and I chuckled.

"Since when do you read minds?" I asked and he shrugged.

"It's all written in your face hyung" he said and I wiped my tears.

"You know, you should take this day off. You look horrible" Jimin said and I just elbowed his stomach.

"Ouch! My abs!"

I smiled and stood up from my seat.

"You're right. I'll try not letting all of this get to me. But I can't promise to move on yet" I said and they all smiled.

"We're not asking you to move on easily, just take it slow. We'll guide you"

"Thanks hyung"

Once I stepped inside my house. It seemed empty even if it's full of grand furniture and designs. All of this, are nothing because the person behind why I bought all these are gone. I sighed and headed to my room. I think a few hours of sleep can help. As I walked up the stairs, I heard someone crying. Am I hallucinating? I stopped walking and the crying still continued. I pinched myself, maybe I'm just imagining thing. But no, there are really cries and sobs.

Out of curiosity, I continued climbing up and the sobs are getting louder. I didn't feel scared or anything, I suddenly turned numb. I walked pass my room when I confirmed there's nothing there.

"Is Taelie haunting me?" I asked then I remembered,

I left her doll in her room. I put it there since I don't have the courage to enter her room again. It only brings back the memories. But the more I walk to her room the more I confirmed that the sobs are coming from Taelie's room. I grabbed the knob and hesitated if I should open it, but I need to see who's in her room. I twisted the knob then the cries stopped. I opened the door and to my surprise,

There's no one.

"I swear I heard someone crying" I said to myself and walked around her room.

I suddenly felt different emotions in me. I want to cry, be angry, be sad, I don't know. I was about to go out when I stepped on something. I looked down and saw Lisa, Taelie's doll. I picked it up and sat on Taelie's bed as I caressed the doll's hair. It's so smooth, Taelie really took care of it.

"You must be sad since your owner is not here to play with you anymore"

You must think that I look stupid, talking to a doll. I touched her cheek and I felt something wet. I looked closer and I saw a teardrop from her eye. I would normally felt scared but I didn't. I knew how she felt even of she's just a doll.

"I'm sorry if I locked you in here. You deserve to be happy, I'm going to donate you tomorrow okay? So you won't feel lonely anymore" I said to the doll and placed her in Taelie's bed.

I walked out of the room and looked around for the last time and finally closed the door. They're right, I should take things slow. And step one is to give away the only thing that made my daughter happy,

The Doll.....
