13. Promises

Karoo watches the TV in the living room. She wanted to watch some of the movies she's always heard about but never got the chance to watch. She's read (braille) but never watched. Titanic being one of them.

A figure appears through the living room door making her pause the movie on the part were Rose was about to fall from the ship. She sees it's the blue haired man from Jin's party and stands up on her feet. "You?"

"My name is Taehyung but yes it's me," Taehyung says charmingly stepping into the living room.

Karoo sits back down looking at him in his striking clothes, a silk shirt and tight black jeans. "You're following me?"

"You could at least offer me a seat," Taehyung says taking a seat on the other side of the chair looking at her. "Plus I hardly followed you, I just dropped by,"

Karoo stares at him before going back to the movie. If the guards let him in then surely he was here for something, and it probably wasn't her.

"I guess you're always in the house. Alone," Taehyung comments.

Karoo nods her head saying nothing.

"Listen Karoo," he says her name liking the sound of it from her lips. "You can't find the peace you seek by being silent,"

Karoo sighs crossing her legs on the couch turning her head to him, pressing pause again. "What do you want from me?"

"Your time," he smiles.

Karoo frowns deeply. "Why can't you leave me alone?"

He shrugs his shoulders thinking. "Maybe it's because I know what it's like to be alone all the time. I know I can't feel what you're going through but trust me, I do understand," he catches sight of how she shakes her head. "And what I wanna do is help, what's wrong with helping?"

Karoo bites her lips looking to her legs. She never knew just how soft and smooth her skin looked and how they turned a bit rosey hearing his deep voice.

"Let me take you out, your timing," Taehyung tries again. "A place where there's no sorrow, no pain. Where people like us go with a bleak heart and come out with a hope of glory. Let me help you out Karoo. What do you say?"

She looks at his hopeful face one more time, before slowly nodding. His heart dances in joy by her slight movement. This was a start. She didn't even know why she accepted all she was that she wanted to try. Also because he was offering her a piece of escape.

"This is the church," Taehyung says walking slowly behind her as she took her time to step in. "My friends and I came here all the time when we were young. I come here every time I feel down, it's something I grew up with,"

Karoo walks past the rows of seats and straight to the front. She stands infront of the statue of Jesus on the cross, her eyes went up and down the mould of the statue. She knew about Jesus being nailed to the cross but this sight of the wooden Jesus pained her heart, at least He got better...rose again, but still who could do such a thing to another person?

She moves to her left side seeing Marry, the mother of Jesus carrying a young baby Jesus with a happy smile on her face. A mother's love for her child. Karoo thinks of Namjoon at that moment before laying her hand out to the little baby Jesus's head. Her attention goes back to the middle of Jesus on the cross, her mind taking her back in the past..

"In the name of the Father, Son and Holy spirit, Amen." He says with his eyes closed. "I brought you here so you can make a wish. Do you have a wish?"

She nods her head happily and he smiles while looking at her.

"Go ahead."

"I wish that... I can regain my sight so that I can see you," her voice is small and soft but JK catches on to what she says.
