The next day, I get to work early. I am really thankful to have this job. Without it, I would be back where I started the second Taehyung and I broke up a few months ago. Because that is what I feel like. I feel just as broken and alone as I felt back then. Of course, I am not completely alone. I still have Yana, Jim and Josh. But whenever I'm alone, I feel really alone. I feel like nobody exist anymore. Not Taehyung, not the rest of BTS, not Yana, not Jim, not Josh and not even me... Just like I started.

I park my car in front of the building and go inside. I smile as politely as I can to everyone, but I don't say anything. I don't feel like it. I am not in the mood. I just get my cup of coffee and take a seat behind my desk.

Within a few minutes, Josh walks in. He smiles wide and walks over to my desk immediately. "Good morning!" He smiles. I look at him and try to smile. "Hey," I say. Josh sighs and grabs his chair. He puts his chair next to mine and looks at me. "Still not feeling better?" He asks me. I shake my head, trying to hold back the tears.

I told Josh about everything. I told him about my breakup with Taehyung a few months ago, about my struggles, how I dealt with it and about how I felt after the concert of two days ago. Josh has been incredibly supportive. He knows what to say to me and how to motivate me to keep going.

"Listen give me the phone number of his management. I will call them right now and complain!" Josh jokes. I smile and look at him. "Thanks," I tell him, "If I thought that would help even for the tiniest bit, I would let you do it." Josh smiles and gives me a hug.

"Why don't you come over tonight?" He suggests as he lets me go. "What do you mean?" I ask him. "Come to my place tonight. Let's have some dinner and a movie night or something," he says. "Just us?" I ask him. "Yes, why not? I think it will be fun!" He says. His energy makes me smile. Josh is a really smiling and energetic person. It has a really nice effect on others.

"Yes, okay," I say. Josh smiles wide, "Great! Seven o'clock at my place!" He stands up and takes his chair back to his own desk. I look at him and smile. "Thank you for doing this," I tell him. Josh laughs, "No problem! You just need a party or something positive right now and I would be happy to give it to you." I laugh, "Sounds like a perfect job for you, I agree!" Josh laughs, "But don't you dare be late!" I roll my eyes, "of course not."

Josh and I both get to work. I decide not to put on some music and work in silence. I don't do this much, but I don't really feel like listening to BTS right now. I don't feel good listening to their music and I am afraid it will only make it worse. I am sure it will be okay in a while, but just not right now.

"Ali, can you take a look at these photos with me?" Josh asks me. I stand up and go to his desk. I look at his computer and see a lot of photos on the screen. "Which one is best?" He asks me. I take a good look at every single photo. "This one," I say and point at a photo of a small tree in a big forest.

"Are you sure?" Josh asks me, "What about this one?" He points at another photo of the same tree but from a higher point of view. The tree looks a lot smaller. "I like the other one better," I tell him, "The one with a higher point of view makes the tree look small in the big forest. The other one makes the tree look big even though it's small. I think that's beautiful."

Josh looks at me and smiles. "You have an amazing eye for details, you know that right?" He laughs. "That's the Ali I know..." A deep voice says. I am frozen within a single second. That voice... It feels like the entire world around me stops. Everything stops moving, clocks stop ticking, my heart stops beating and it feels like all the air is sucked out of the room.

All the muscles in my body start to shake as I am slowly able to move again. I look up in what feels like slow-motion. As I look at the person standing in the door opening, I hear myself gasp. My jaw drops and my eyes nearly pop out of my skull. My mouth slowly forms, but no sound is heard. "Taehyung..."

Am I hallucinating? Is this real? Is this really happening? The two beautiful, brown eyes stare right into mine, make me believe that this is in fact happening. As a big smile appears on his face, his pink, curly hair moves a little. His beautiful curls hang over his forehead, covering a part of his beautiful face.

Slowly I see his hand shake, like he is nervous. His beautiful, big hands hold onto the fabric of his black pants and move a little what makes me believe his hands are shaking. I can't help but look at the black sweater he wears. The fabric looks really soft, but the rolled up sleeves make him look even more handsome than he already is.

As I look into his eyes again, I know for sure. He is really here. He stands right in front of me with nothing in between us. No stage, no security guards, no barrier, nothing. Just distance.

Without thinking twice, I decide to break the distance and start to run. I run to him just like I wanted for six months. Just like I always dreamed of.

As I get closer to him, his face lights up. The smile on his face gets even brighter and he opens his arms for me. Just before our bodies collide, I jump up. I wrap my arms and legs around him, holding him as tight as I possibly can with my entire body.

As I hold him close, I feel how he takes a step back to reassure his balance. As he wraps his arms around me as well, my heart starts to jump, my body starts to shake out of excitement and the tears burn in my eyes. I bury my face in his neck, feeling his curls touch my face and smelling his sweet perfume. I feel how he buries his face in my neck as well, trying to hold me as close as possible.

I can't believe this is happening right now. If my alarm would wake me right now, I wouldn't even be surprised. But it doesn't. This is not a dream, this is real. Taehyung is really here, holding me in his arms after all this time. This is no daydream or beautiful nightmare, this is real life. He really came back to me.

I feel the warmth of his body. I feel his strong arms around me. And I smell the scent of his perfume. I hold him a little tighter as the tears escape my eyes. This is what I always dreamed of. This is the one thing I wanted the second I left his house six months ago.

"I missed you so much," his sweet, deep voice tells me. As I hear the sound of his voice, forming these beautiful words, I lose it. I lose control and start to cry. Not just to cry, I start to sob. My shoulders start to shock and my breathing speeds up. "I missed you too," I tell him. I feel his shoulders shock a little as well and I notice how he sniffs softly.

When I feel my legs slowly slide down his body. I let go of Taehyung and stand on my own feet again. Taehyung unwraps his arms from me and moves his hands to my face. As I look at his face, I see tears rolling down. I bet my face looks exactly like that, because he wipes the tears away from my cheeks with his thumbs.

"Are you okay?" He asks me. I smile and put my hands on his cheeks as well, wiping away his tears with my fingers. "I am now," I smile. Taehyung laughs and lets go of my cheeks. He wraps his arms around me again and hugs me tight. I wrap my arms around his torso and bury my face in his sweater.
