Don't leave me | taehyung×reader×jungkook

Episode 29

"Mwoeyo?" Hana asked, her voice tinged with concern.

Taehyung took her hands and placed them on his chest, feeling the warmth and connection between them.

"What's wrong, Tae? Gwaenchanayo?" she asked, her eyes searching his.

"Hana-ya, I'm going to America tomorrow," Taehyung said, his tone serious.

Hana remained silent, processing the sudden news.

"Actually, I have some important work there. You know that I lived there for nine years and have a business there, so I have to leave," he explained, trying to sound reassuring.

"W-when will you come back?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I don't know, maybe after a month? Or perhaps longer," he replied.

"Go get some sleep, Tae. You should rest. I'll prepare everything for you in the morning," she murmured, trying to keep her composure.

"Hana-ya, I'm sorry. This came up suddenly, but it's all for our future, you know? I'll come back," he said, his voice filled with regret.

"Tae, I'm tired, please," she replied, closing her eyes.

Taehyung sighed deeply. "I'll miss you, Kim Hana. I promise I'll be back. I won't leave you," he whispered.

Hana listened to his words, pretending to sleep. Taehyung soon fell asleep, but Hana lay awake, her mind racing.

'Why do I feel so strange when he said he's leaving? Why am I so sad? Why do I feel frightened when he said he won't leave me? Jungkook also said that, but he left. Taehyung, you're becoming a habit I can't live without. I don't know what I'll do after you leave. Please take care of yourself, Tae. You're really important to me.'

Tears rolled down her face as she silently cried. She turned to look at Taehyung, who was sleeping peacefully.

"These two boys sleep like babies," she mumbled.

"Why do I smell Jungkook's fragrance from you, Tae? What are you?" she murmured.

She stared at him, finding him incredibly endearing. "Cute," she mumbled, kissing his cheek and hugging him tightly. Eventually, she fell asleep.

In her dream, Hana found herself in a dark, large room filled with men armed with guns. Fear gripped her as she trembled and sweat poured down her face.

"What's wrong? What am I doing here?" she shouted.

A familiar voice responded, chilling her to the bone. "Get into the room."

"No, no, no! Please, don't do this. I beg you," she pleaded.

"Jungkook-ah! Please come! You promised you'd protect me! Jeon Jungkook, where are you?" she screamed, crying out in desperation.

Min Ho approached her, his smirk cruel. "You're so selfish, Hana. Do you want him dead again? He won't come; he's dead. He's gone. Get it?"

Hana's body was drenched in sweat as she remembered everything, her entire being trembling. She couldn't let Jungkook be in pain again.

"You can do anything with me," she said, her voice trembling.

Min Ho smirked. "Let her in."

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out, "Don't dare to touch her!"

At first, she thought it was Jungkook. "Jungkook?" she turned around, but it was Taehyung. "Taehyung?"

"Oh, another lover? Who's he?" Min Ho asked, amused.

"Aniya, Kim Taehyung, what are you doing here? Just go away. You shouldn't be here. Please, go away," Hana shouted, her voice filled with fear.

"No, I won't. I can't take this anymore! Release her! Not a single finger on her, got it?" Taehyung shouted back.

"Kill him," Min Ho ordered.

Hana's heart raced with terror. "No, no, no! I lost Jungkook; I can't lose Taehyung too!"

"An-dwae! An-dwae! An-dwae!" Hana screamed, waking up in a panic.

"Hana-ya, what's wrong? I'm here. Don't worry, I'm here," Taehyung said, holding her tightly.

She looked at him, cupping his cheeks, checking him over. "Taehyung, are-are you fine? You shouldn't come there. They'll hurt you. An-dwae, an-dwae," she stammered, her body trembling.

Taehyung hugged her tightly. "I'm totally fine, Hana-ya. Don't worry. No one can hurt me, believe me. It was just a nightmare," he reassured her.

"Aniya, it wasn't just a nightmare. You can't go anywhere else. Jungkook also promised he wouldn't leave me, but he left. You can't leave me. I don't have anyone. Please, Kim Taehyung, please," she pleaded.

He kissed her softly on the lips. "Shush, you're so noisy and overprotective, Hana. Don't worry. I'm not the same old Kim Taehyung who couldn't do anything except study. This Kim Taehyung can take down anyone who dares to touch you. I'm going to America tomorrow, araji?"

"Bu-but, Tae—"

"With you," he said, smiling.

"M-mwoeyo?" she asked, blinking in surprise.

"Yes, you'll come with me. You need to help me with my business so we can come back to Korea sooner," he explained.

"Well, that's not a bad idea. I'll protect you, my husband," she joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Taehyung laughed. "Oh, so this little girl will protect me? My dear wife, we're going to America for business, not a secret mission."

They both laughed, and Taehyung hugged her tightly, helping her fall back asleep.

As Hana lay in his arms, her thoughts raced. 'I don't know what's wrong with me. Why am I being so caring about him? What is he to me? Why do I feel the same way I did with Jungkook? Who is he? He's just Kim Taehyung, someone I was supposed to hate! Why does he love me so much? He made a huge decision after my nightmare and didn't ignore it. Why are you doing this to my poor heart, Kim Taehyung? Can a girl love two people? Two men? Wait, did I just say love? Is this love? No, it's just care and friendship. I shouldn't think too much...'
