THEN | Kim Taehyung FF✓

6

We were together, but never one.

Things never changed.
Everyday I tried my best, tried my best to make him happy, tried my best to bring the Taehyung I knew, but it felt like I was the only one trying in this relationship.

"I'm sick of this Taehyung! Why can't you see my sufferings!?" I shout at him, after he entered the house.

"All you care about is YOU! Did you ever think about me!? Why can't you just let me live!?" He yelled back at me, standing on the doorway.

"That is the thing Tae, I think about you, that is why I am like this. You changed Tae. Alot. I can't remember you being this way." I said, the feeling of pain filling my chest.

"I am doing this for the better future, our future Y/n." He said and went upstairs to the room.

"Future Tae? Don't joke now. Who makes future by staying out all night, without a proper job?" I asked, while following him in the room.

He looked at me with slight shock.

"Yes Tae. I know that you don't have a job anymore. I don't even know when you left the job. What is happening Tae? Please tell me." I said looking into his eyes, which were looking everywhere but me.

"I have a job." He lowly said.

"What kind of job Tae?"

"I-it's-"

"Tae. If you want, I can do a job. You can take some rest. I have no problem at that." I left my job to work on our relationship. I thought that I'd give him more time if I did that but he never had time anymore now.

"No. You are not going to work. I have a job. I'll be doing it. You don't need to do anything."

"Tae. You need some rest. You stay up all night, you stay out most of the day. Please listen to me Tae. Please."

"I told you. I don't need any help from you. I can work and I'm totally fine." He yelled at me, and went to the bathroom.

I just sigh.

I have tried many times to get him a break. Maybe that is what we both need. More time together. But he just didn't want any.
And the worst part, I don't even know what Taehyung wanted as he never talks and discuss about things with me anymore.

I just wanted to help him. Help "us".

With more days passing by, we become more silent to eachother. Before we atleast yelled our feelings out to eachother, now it's just that we live in a house, I take care of the house and everything, he takes cares of the income.

We still fought about the income and his job, but he never talks.

But if I had to say, that situation was much better than which was about to come.

The dreadful day came, when I got a call from Taehyung's mom, saying…

"Y/n…(sniffs) grand-grandma is no more…(sobs)." I immediately cut the call.

I held my chest and leaned against the wall, slowly sat down on the ground.

The first thing to cross my mind was Taehyung. He was already going through alot these days and now this.
Sometimes grandma would call us and whenever she called, Taehyung would look the happiest person when he talked with her, even if we just had a fight.

I was just wondering how I will tell him about this. Did his mother already tell him? What if he already went to her?

I had alot of things going on in my head. I got up and dialled Taehyung's mother number.

"H-hello?"

"Dear Y/n. I have already told Taehyung about grandma. I am worried about him Y/n. Please take care of him. We'll have the funeral here, day after tomorrow."

"Yes Mom. I'll bring Taehyung with me."

"Please do. I know it'll be very hard for him now. But grandma will be at peace if he visits her for the last time." I cried out at her words. Grandma was everything for Taehyung.

"Please don't cry dear. Be s-strong. Taehyung needs you now, more than ever, you can't be weak now."

"Yes mom. I will be with him." I rub my tears away.

"Please take care. Okay. Bye."

"Bye." I said and cut the call.

I gathered myself and went and started packing some clothes of ours, that we might need as he might need to stay there for a while.
Tears continued to flow down my cheeks, even while packing. I couldn't stop myself from thinking all the scenarios in my head. The time I had spent with Grandma. The prettiest smile of hers, which was followed by Taehyung's boxy smile. The time when we were actually happy. Together.
Both of them are my family. I love them both. And it was not easy to bring myself to stop crying.
My life was already going through hard times and now I lost the only source of happiness in it. Grandma.

She made me, someone who was a stranger to her, love her to this extent, so just think how much her own family will be feeling right now. I was really worried about what Taehyung was going through now. He was her own blood.

I sat on the bed and cried, cried till everything that was held inside was out.

Just then my phone rang, an unknown number.

I only picked up.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hello? Is this Miss Y/n."

"Yes. I am."

"Miss Y/n, please come to the xxx police station now. It's about Kim Taehyung."
