Jin's POV

I knew y/n didn't love me back, but I couldn't do anything about it.
We both pulled away from the kiss, there was a moment of silence.
"I'll let you sleep now... see you tomorrow" I responded, not knowing what to say.
"Alright... goodnight" She said back, and as much as I wanted to hear her saying "stay", I just knew that it won't happen.
We both said goodbye and I went my way.
Maybe I do need to get over her.

Y/n's POV

I woke up in the morning, finally feeling good about everything.
I'm so happy Chloe and I are okay now.
I dressed up and went to work as usual, there were a few more customers.
My condition at the workshop started getting much better and I slowly started earning money.
I just had to clean a little more and paint the walls to make the workshop look like before.

The night arrived, and instead of returning to the backyard I decided to finish cleaning the workshop.
I called Jin for help, and he came straight away.
We both finished cleaning the workshop that day.
We stayed there until the middle of the night, I haven't seen or talked to Taehyung at all.
"Gotta go y/n, Ella is here to pick me up" Jin suddenly said, I frowned.
"She picks you up at this hour...?" I asked curiously.
"Yea, we're actually staying up the night. We're going to watch the sunrise together" He said, I felt an uneasy emotion inside my hear.
"Oh... have fun with her" I replied, feeling weird since Jin and I used to watch the sunrise together at the time we still lived together.

We both continued on our ways, I finally returned back to the backyard.
As I walked into the backyard, I saw Taehyung sitting on the little bench near with his head down.
He was staring at the ground, it looked like something happened.
I started being worried, I had no idea what happened.
"Tae...?" I slowly approached him, he didn't respond or look at me.
"Taehyung" I said again as I sat next to him, wondering what he's doing out here in the middle of the night.
He sighed, slowly lifting his head up, but still not looking at me.

"I'm... not sure why you're here..." He said with a strange tone. I then noticed the shattered glass of a whiskey bottle under the bench, and looked back at him with a concerned face.
"What are you talking about..." I mumbled, Taehyung looked awful.
"I wanted to give you my help, but stealing...? I never thought you'd-" He started speaking, but I really had no clue what he was talking about.
"Woah woah woah... Stealing? Taehyung are you okay?" I said and frowned, why would he suddenly accuse me of stealing?

"Y/n don't p-play dumb... I know you're wearing it right now" He said, I was so confused.
"Wearing what exactly?" I kept asking, I didn't know if  he was saying this because he was drunk.
He suddenly grabbed my hand and rolled up the sleeve of my shirt aggressively, revealing my arm.
"The watch." He said as we both stared at the golden watch that was wrapped around my wrist.
"What do you mean...? I didn't steal it" I said, trying to prove him that I'm not a thief.
"Then how the hell did it get on your hand? By magic?" He said, now he was looking at me.
"No... it's not like that" I responded back.
"Then it's like what? Because I don't remember giving you that watch, and the worst part is that it's not even mine... it's Oliver's, I need to give it back..." He answered, I couldn't believe it.
"Chloe gave it to me..." That was when I realized, I'm not stupid.
I looked away and took a few moments to process everything.

"Fucking bitch..." I mumbled as I figured it out, the great feeling I had earlier this morning faded away in seconds.
I realized what trap she put me in, can't believe I let myself trust her.
"How dare you... And then you kissed your friend... I thought that something was finally happening between the two of us..." He said, but I couldn't hold the emotions inside of me anymore.
"You thought?! Taehyung it's fucked up!!! You have a fiancée... and I'm...
I'm just me."  I gulped.
"You might want to ask her where I got the watch from as well." I replied, trying to hold the tears inside so hard.
"YOU KNOW NOTHING!" He yelled and I flinched, there was a deep, heavy silence.
The weather was getting colder, the wind blowing our hair.
"You know... all of these years..." He started speaking again, his voice was shivering and his tears didn't hesitate to fall down his eyes.
I had no idea what was happening.
"All of these years it was so fucking hard... hard looking at you..." He said while sniffing, the tears kept coming down his eyes one after another.
"And not being able to touch you... hear your voice..." It felt as if my heart stopped beating for a moment. I was frozen to the spot.
"I would take down the world for you-"
He suddenly started throwing up while speaking, my heart ached.
I held his hand tightly as he kept throwing up, what has he done to himself...

As he was done i stood up and took off the watch.
"Take the damn watch." I said as I handed it to him, his condition was terrible, he coughed a lot.
He grabbed the watch and was about to stand up, but couldn't even get up from the bench.
I placed his arm around my shoulders and helped him stand up.
It was so hard trying to carry him to the house, so instead I carried him to the place that was the closest- my room.
I opened the door and I helped him get in.
Next thing I knew, we both laid in bed together, staring at the ceiling.
We were super quiet, not making a single sound.
I couldn't even close my eyes, my thoughts were filled with the things he said a few minutes before.
I didn't understand the meaning of it.
"Why..." he mumbled, I turned my head to the side to face him.
He looked half dead.
"Why did you kiss him..." He whispered, I looked back at the ceiling.
"I don't know." I answered, and to be honest, I really didn't know why.
Taehyung closed his eyes slowly and fell asleep immediately. I still kept looking at the ceiling, as if it's going to make everything better.
I don't know what happened that night, I can't stop thinking about it.
And as I kept thinking, I realized that I could no longer deny it.

All of this time I've convinced myself that I got over him, but once he came back to my life it's like someone pushed the rewind button and brought me back to the past, the old times, the old memories...

Taehyung's POV

The morning arrived.
The moment I opened my eyes and realized where I was, made my heart beat out of my chest.
I saw y/n sleeping at the other side of the bed, I could tell she was cold because she was trembling a bit.
I covered her with the blanket, and afterwards, without thinking twice I left immediately.
I felt nervous as I saw the unanswered phone calls and messages Chloe sent me. My stomach hurt and my head started spinning, the hangover was killing me. Whatever got me into drinking so much that night made me lose my mind.
I have no idea how I got into y/n's bed, and I can't really remember what I told her last night.
All I had to do is to pray I didn't say something that I shouldn't have said.

As I walked into the house, I saw Chloe standing in the living room.
"Where were you?" She asked worriedly and crossed her hands.
"I returned to work... I had to finish multiple things and eventually slept there without noticing..." I made up the excuse at that moment.

"Alright... I wanted to ask you something and I guess it's going to be helpful for you too.
Could you stay home today and take care of Jack? I can't be missing at work for so long. They need me in the hospital" She said and I nodded, the only thing I wanted to do was to rest. I wasn't feeling well at all.
"Yea sure..." I replied as she walked towards me and kissed my cheek.
"You smell bad..." She suddenly said and frowned, I took a few steps back before she realizes.
"Yes i... I  gotta go take a shower. I'll see you later" I replied and went straight to the shower.

Y/n's POV

I woke up slowly, not seeing Taehyung by my side.
He left.
The sky was grey, I could clearly see that a storm was about to come.
And after a few minutes it started raining heavily.
I heard the loud thunders, the wind was blowing insanely, it was freezing outside.
It was one of these days that you'd rather stay at home in bed under the warm blanket, and just sleep.
No one would've gone to the workshop in that weather anyway, so I thought it'd be okay if I let myself stay at my room that day.
A while after, I heard someone knocking on my door.

I came to open it quickly since it was still raining outside.
"Jack! What are you doing here?" Jack slowly got in, he was soaking wet.
I took a towel and tried to dry him.
"I wanted to play with you! Tata isn't feeling well so I don't want to make him play with me!" He said, making me smile once again.
"Alright... look at you. You're so wet from the rain" I said and smiled at him.
"Yes! Rain is fun!" He said and started giggling.
"Y/n..." he suddenly said.
"Yes?" I replied as I picked him up and placed him on the bed, I sat next to him.
"Tata still didn't give me new toys!" He said loudly, I almost forgot about it.
"Really? I'll talk to him." I answered back.
"Can we play with my old toys?" He asked as I was drying his hair with the towel.
"Yes. It's in your room, right?" I asked as he shook his head.
"No, my old toys are in the basement" He said, and I wondered what basement he was talking about.
"Basement?" I asked as he described where the basement is. It didn't take me long to figure out that the basement is the place with the locked door where I found... the photo.
"Well, would you like to show me?" I asked him, hoping he'll lead me somehow into the locked basement.
"No!!!! Tata always says there are ghosts and monsters in there! I don't wanna go there y/n!" Jack started whining, I was shocked Taehyung scared him and told him all of these things.
What the hell made Taehyung lie and scare Jack away from the basement?
