"jennie c'mon!" he calls out to the girl with wavy chocolate brown hair behind her.
taehyung makes his way up the cold, creaky, rusty tower, his bare feet racing up the steps two at a time.
the boy makes it to the top, and study his surrounding with curious, but suspicious eyes. he looks around, hoping to see something that wasn't just endless miles of ocean but fails.
he walks to the very edge and looks straight down to be greeted by roaring waves, gently and rhythmically crashing into the cliff that the tower stood upon.
taehyung looks back, expecting jennie to be right behind him, or in close proximity to him, but she is nowhere to be seen. there is no sign that even points to her ever being there at all, to begin with.
this, left the boy confused, frightened, and anxious.
did i lose her again? this is all my fault. i'm sorry jennie. i'm sorry i couldn't protect you.
taehyung turns back to the edge, took one last look around him. the atmosphere is serene and calm, one could even say, peaceful.
once inhaling his last breath, he steps off the edge and let gravity pull him down with all of its force.
as he falls, it's like he is flying, flying away from everything he knew and loved, but at the same time, flying away from his guilt and sins.
just as he is about to hit the surface of the water and sink, his eyes fly open and are greeted by a dull, lifeless ceiling and bright fluorescent lights flooding the room and rendering him blind for a moment.
he tries to move his arms, legs, anything, but can't. for they are bound together to each other, and securely chained up to each of the four walls by a number of heavy, steel chains.
taehyung looks around, searching for jennie, but she is nowhere to be seen yet again.
for a moment, he paused to consider to himself, is jennie even real?
no, she must be. her laugh, her smile, her scent, her touch, it all just felt too real to be a dream.
"jennie," he mutters barely audibly, "please give me a sign. please tell me your real, and i'm not completely insane."
just as that last word left his mouth, the door to his confinement swings open, and a nurse steps in.
taehyung looks up and is greeted by jennie.
