So... that last part was quite something, huh? I'm sorry! 😭 On the bright side, there'll be another returning character. Only 6 parts to go 💜 leave a vote for Teddy? 🥺

—MORNING—

Last night was, by far, the most horrible night of my life...

One of my best friends died with her hand in mine, and there was nothing I could do to help besides talk to her about dreams she'll never live to see.

The house doesn't even feel the same without her despite her being here the shortest. How is it even morning without hearing her sing "Good morning family"?

I'm sat up in our bed with swollen eyes and frizzy hair, my arms slumped into my lap as I lean miserably against the headboard. Although I did sleep, I spent most of the night crying my eyes out.

With his cheek against the pillow, Taehyung's eyes slowly awaken to my depressed state. He rubs the back of my hand and talks in a voice that's deep and raspy.

".....You okay?"

A nauseous feeling travels up my body from the pit of my stomach and my head feels as if it's losing air and stability. Judging by the look on Taehyung's face, he can tell what's happening.

I immediately charge towards our bathroom with him following behind before he's holding my hair and I'm throwing up in the toilet.

"It's okay... Let it out..." He strokes my back.

I can't handle death. I can't handle it. I get sick, I collapse, I break down... This is just like Bogum, only worse. Teddy had so much more life to live.

Once I'm done, Taehyung flushes everything and releases my hair to crouch beside me.

"Feel any better?"

My lower lip sinks beneath my teeth, head shaking and tears falling. I inhale to say something, but end up falling limply against his chest and crying my eyes out.

"Li..." He sighs and strokes my hair.

"I'm so sorry Tae..."

"...For what?"

"You were supposed to return to therapy today, but instead you're here taking care of stupid Lilo who can't stop being sick..." I weep.

"Li don't worry about that, I've already canceled it. I can't focus on much of anything after yesterday. It's not your fault." A kiss lands my forehead.

I guess Taehyung is used to death and losing loved ones, so he's handling this better than the rest of us, but I just can't act as calm...

"Are you sure? You're not mad at me?"

"No." He chuckles lightly. "You're just feeling sensitive. Come, let's get you cleaned up and dressed."

He tries pulling me up by the arm but I mumble muffled groans, letting my body lazily flop onto the floor.

"Nooo..... Just let me lay here forever and die."

With a deep sigh, his shoulder hooks under my stomach where he effortlessly carries me to the shower. I continue to groan against his back.

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ ☀️

This is so weird... Usually the gang meet up in the kitchen for breakfast, but today nobody showed up besides Hoseok. It's also the day we're supposed to pack but I think Taehyung's allowing more hours for everyone to properly grieve. Probably the best option.
