46.

■Taely's point of view■

The eerie darkness of that night would never escape my memory. I clearly remember the pitch-black curtain draped over the sky, and the twisted, marred shapes that the stars made against the blackness. The milky splotches twirled along the night in various forms, tugging at the corners of my lips in a way that almost made me smile.

It was hard to shove aside the worries corrupting my mind, but eventually, I stopped walking over the soft grass below my feet and just... stopped thinking. I was alone. Nothing from my life could touch me. Not a single thing could harm me. I stared up at the sky and studied the silver glow of the moon. It smiled down at me with love so intense it warmed my soul like a fireplace on a cold winter's night. And there I was, standing in the front yard at midnight to take a break from life, not wanting to do anything but cry.

But the look that the moon gave me didn't cause the storm to go on inside of me. Instead, a hot blue fire flickered in my heart and soon started to grow, eating at all of the dark emotions in its path. My worries burned away, and the tears that were starting to form at the corners of my eyes melted down my cold face with a rush of relief.

Crying felt good, especially when they were tears that I didn't want to push away. They were cleaners to wash away the pain.

I didn't want to cry, it just wasn't right. But that night, under the protection of millions of stars and the beautiful moon, I felt like I could let the floodgates open with a single snap of my fingers. I stared up at the sky and continued to let my pain run away for the moment. The cold midnight waves rolled in and tickled my feet as I stood at the yard , not ever wanting to leave.

I started thinking about everything,I was really amazed by the Sonyeondan, I never thought that such people existed in real life, well I only thought that good people existed in myths and stories, but my guessing was wrong, they do exist, and I was living with them.

They had pulled it together and redeemed their work and money to help Bangtan climb again to its previous glory it had. Blacksmiths provided free iron, carpenters provided free wood, plumbers gave free products, and all the handicraftsman worked for free.And most importantly and with that very little fund they had, they were able to make Bangtan better than it already had been.

And what made my heart flatter even more, is that they forgave me with soft hearts, they even claimed that they haven't got mad at me even when they found who I truely was. This made me rethink about everything and I decided to help them too.

Taehyung was still in a coma, he haven't waken up yet, which ached my heart whenever I remember, well who am I kidding? I've never forgot to remember. He was still lying at that bed of his, not moving or giving any sign of consciousness, he only gave signs of living, and Dr.Jin said that he doesnt know when is he going to wake up,which made things worse. It turned out that he's going to wake up sooner or later, at least his coma isn't like those of a lifetime, Dr.Jin comforted us,"We just have to pray for him", he always said this phrase whenever he would check on Taehyung.

Manstler Jimin took over the day Taehyung was announced being in a coma which was the second day after the incident have happened,and it was a month already, I wouldn't say that he was happy with it or even prayed that Taehyung wouldn't wake up so he could rule the whole Gretchia, it was totally different. He was angry all the times and not in the mood, noone dared to talk to him, he changed alot after Taehyung but I totally understood him, he was feeling the heavy burden of the whole responsibility, to the extinct that he used to ask silly questions which made me rethink about him being a part of the rulers.

My uncle took after Gretch Hajoon, since I didn't want to go back to my Senna and chose to stay here in Bangtan, I abdicated of the throne for my uncle, since he was a wise, patient and dynamic, he was definitely going to rule Mehi better than I would.

Mehi's and Bangtan's Gretchias reunited, and they signed a peace contract, and my uncle managed to fire and replace all of those who got bribed by my so-called-dad, so apparently Mehi's Gretchia was clean and got rid of the hands that dirtied it.

"Taely", I heard a familiar sound I turned around directly after I felt a hand on my shoulder which made me take a step back out of the sudden touch,"Woah did I scare you?", Manstler Jimin smiled softly as he patted my back comforting,

Well everyone was still calling me Taely cause it was my own request, I wanted to have a new life away from anything that reminded me of my old life, especially that my dad was the one who chose my name, but I kept my nickname cause it was my mom who chose it for me,

"Kind of", I placed a hand on my heart feeling its fast beats,

"Really? The brave Taely is afraid? I don't think fear exists in your dictionary gurl", he elbowed me making me smile, we always managed to cheer each other up, we became very close,

I let out a very deep long sigh looking at the stars I was admiring minutes ago,"Do you think he would ever get up?", my question certainly ruined the mood he was trying to possess, he knew how much I keep thinking about Taehyung but he used to push this subject off whenever we're talking cause it affected the both of us.

He looked at the sky too, letting out a long deep sigh as well, as if it's a must that you would be forced to sigh if you want to look at the sky,"Let's cross fingers and pray, but I do have a feeling that he'll wakeup soon, like very soon", he smiled like a lunatic,

I looked at his innocent eyes, they were glittering as they reflected the light the sky was giving,"I wish that this feeling would become real",

"Let's bet", he smirked at me,

I frowned,"huh?",

"If he wakesup this week, you'll have to do me a favor",

I laughed at his silliness,"Which is?", I crossed my arms, raising an eyebrow,

"Don't leave", his smile turned into a serious tone,

I sighed, he knew that I won't have the guts to meet Taehyung, not after what happened, I opened my mouth to reply but a feminine sound shutted me,"Dinner is ready", Jaeeun shouted for the Manstler, well even though it was late, but due to his overwork he used to eat at such an hour,

"We're coming", we both left the yard heading to the dinning room.
