(Chapter 3)
(This chapter is a bit boring coz I need to make the next one more exciting)
"I don't know, everything seemed so messed up and weird"
Taehyung said as he scratches his head.
Sitting in front of him is a physiologist or a therapist.
He explained what happened last night.
The therapist suggested he stay at the health care center, in case he goes and does some dumb stuff again.
Taehyung stayed there for at least a month. He aggressively takes the situation.
He couldn't sleep, eat or even live properly.
He found it hard to live without seeing her and knowing what is happening. He's trying his best to let go.
Thank god to the therapist, he has now recovered a bit and is kind of steady to move on.
He met a lot of people at the healthcare center. They talked about each other's problems and he enjoyed being with them.
Since he's all ok now, he has packed his stuff and returned home.
Poor boy, he has been going through so much.
Since Taehyung didn't want to be alone, he went to visit his parents in Jeju.
His parents were really worried for him as well, they are glad he's all ok now.
As he saw his parents standing by the airport and welcoming him, he felt so safe and happy.
He ran to them like a little kid, showing an adorable smile on his face.
He laid his arms on their shoulders and three of them hugged.
Mrs. Kim and Mr. Kim prepared a huge meal for him, since they moved to Jeju, there's a lot more food and fresh ingredients.
Taehyung had a graceful time with his parents, he was feeling good for once.
—
Today is another where he could chill at his parent's place, he wore his shoes and walked to the nearby store.
He decided to have some alone time today, so he bought a can of coke and some ramen to chill by the seaside.
As he walks into the convenience store, he takes a look at the food.
He then grabbed a cup of ramen, then walked over to the drinks section.
As he takes the coke, the drink accidentally dropped to the ground and rolled over to the other fridge.
He picked it up and put it back on the stack, as he walks out of the alley, he saw someone familiar.
A girl was browsing at the candy section, she has similar face structures, it looks like a close friend he has been with before.
Taehyung continued to look at her in confusion, trying to figure out who that is.
She then turned around to him. Noticing he was staring at her.
"Momo?"
The girl immediately walked away, she recognized him.
She walked out of the store, trying to avoid him.
Taehyung quickly dropped off his stuff and followed her.
"Hey, HEY"
He yelled while chasing her.
Taehyung stopped and looked around as she vanished into the crowd.
He struggles and sighed in disappointment as she disappears.
"I should probably stop"
He said to himself.
It was probably another illusion created in his head.
Taehyung just stood there in blankness and stared at the crowd.
He walked back to the store as he gives up and moves on.
While he pays for the food, he checked his phone and got a notification from an unknown number.
As he clicks in and read the text, there's this sentence that made him believe everything is an illusion
There was this message from an unknown person.
The text said "Seaside" and that's all it said.
Taehyung looked at the text and wasn't processing it for a few seconds.
"Dude do you want your stuff or not?"
The employee said as he hand him the bag of food
"Oh, sorry"
Taehyung took his stuff and walked to the seaside.
Although he was scared, he still went.
He arrived at this peaceful and relaxing seaside, kids were running around, people having fun and chatting.
The sun is setting soon, he was deciding to enjoy it himself in peace. And now I guess he couldn't.
"So you came, huh?"
A girl voiced
She was standing behind him
He turned around and saw Momo
She didn't look at him, all she did was look at the streets.
"Momo. We need to talk. We seriously do."
"I know what happened"
"No I mean like I know you know that-"
"I can't give you what you want"
"No just listen. Let's just talk. Let's find a seat"
"Fine"
Taehyung thoughtfully told her.
Two of them walked to a bench and settled everything down.
"Sorry if I was being weird"
Momo apologized
"Don't worry, just, act normal...ok?"
"Whatever, how has life been for you, for these three years?"
"Kinda good but it's fucked up now"
"Why?"
"Hate talking about it"
"Well I guess I know why"
"Why did you run away from me? In seven eleven?"
"Long story. And also you wouldn't understand anyway. You're still that idiot I know"
Taehyung didn't bother to respond. He just sighed and looked at the sky with her.
"I know this sounds weird. But I want to see her. How do I manage to do that?"
"Oh boy. You have to start overall again. And I would suggest that."
"What do you mean by that?"
"She has changed a lot. I don't even think I know her anymore"
"Is there something that happened?"
"Yea. Ever since that thing happened. She came back to life."
"Wait so do you still live with her?"
"No, I barely see her now"
As the two of them keep chatting, Momo shared a lot of private things that Taehyung was not meant to know about.
"Momo. I know I owe you a lot"
"You don't"
"I'm glad. But I hope if you could help m-"
"I can't Taehyung. I'm sorry. This might even be the last time you even see me."
"I know this is hard. But I need you to help me. I would do anything, I can return you anything. Just let me see her once more and I promise you that I will forget you guys even exist. Just once. Please?"
Taehyung said this with bravery and watery eyes, looking directly at her.
Momo couldn't manage the amount of faithfulness he gave her. She seriously wanted to help him. But it's too dangerous.
She knew once they meet again everything can go back to how it used to be.
She bit her lip as she thinks through it.
"Momo, please. I'm begging you"
"Taehyung, I really can't. I am risking my life for this."
"Momo please I swear I can protect you, just once, please. I don't even need to talk to her, I just need to see how's she's doing. I can just walk past the window and see her. Just once. Please, I'm not asking for more"
"Ok, but just promise me you won't do anything crazy ok?"
"I swear from the bottom of my heart."
—
Two of them exited the beach as they approach the streets.
"Where are we going?"
"I have to bring you to the girls, I can't do this alone"
"Wait for wha-"
"Trust me. I know what I'm doing"
"Alright"
Taehyung got this uneasy feeling that she will do something bad to him. Well, the worst thing is just murder, right?
They walked to the busy streets and entering to an apartment.
"Sana now lives in Jeju. Since you ruined her life in Daegu"
"Hey, not so mean"
"Just facts"
As Momo takes out her keys and unlock the door, she heard a lot of people moving around.
"Damn"
Taehyung said under his breath
She opened the door and saw nobody inside the room.
"It's me guys"
The girls immediately walked out and saw Momo.
"Bruh"
"And say hi to your guest"
She said as Taehyung walks into the room.
All of them looked at him with a shocked faces.
"T-Taehyung?" Nayeon said
"Hey guys, it's been long enough"
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Jeongyeon asked
"Well this dude missed his girl so I think we have to bring him to her"
"What?! Are you out of your mind Momo?! Do you know what kind of situation she's in right now?"
"Look. I know it's crazy. But like he said he wouldn't talk to her, just like stalk her past the window."
"Just for like 5 secs. I promise" Taehyung said
"And how are we gonna trust you with that?" Jeongyeon said
"If anything happens. You can take my soul."
"So what?! If you're dead we're still in trouble"
"You know what. Just forget it, sit down and we'll talk"
All of them sat down and talked out a plan.
The plan was for Momo, Nayeon, and Jeongyeon to take him to Sana. While all of the others stay home.
As they agree to this plan, the girls took him and left.
—
Since all of them have lost their powers, this is the time to be real careful.
They hike up a whole mountain stranded by the beach, showing how isolated Sana is.
"Are we there yet?"
"Hold on, 5 more minutes"
As they arrived at the top of the mountain they saw this small house, that looks old and simple.
"Here we are. Remember to follow everything we say."
Nayeon warned
Three of them walked towards the house as Taehyung follow them.
"I'll go knock on the door," Jeongyeon said
Momo, Nayeon, and Taehyung hid behind the bush as they watch Jeongyeon
The door opens as Jeongyeon waits outside.
Sana walked out of the house and she sees Jeongyeon.
She quickly pushes her inside and looked around, seeing if there's anyone outside.
Taehyung just saw her there, her beautiful self. Even if she looks messed up. Or even if she's changing into another person. He will still love her the way she is.
"There you go, can we go now?"
"Wait"
He just wanted to look at her forever. Even without saying anything. He wanted to be near her forever. No matter what.
He tears up as he saw her again, the same girl from three years ago.
He wanted to run to her and hug her tight and never let go
"Right, let's go, thank you."
He said as three of them left, leaving Jeongyeon there, she'll eventually come back later.
They slowly sneak out of the bush, walking back into the middle of the mountain.
"Ugh I can't wait to get back to my normal life"
Nayeon said as they walk down the hill
"Aren't you guys normal humans now? Why don't you guys have a normal life"
"We used to be. But since the Daegu thing happened we have to be careful"
"I'm sorry"
"It's not your fault don't worry"
"Tzuyu's calling me," Nayeon said as she checks her phone
She picked up the phone as Tzuyu speaks
"Hey, everything ok?"
"We got a situation here, there are three men who are been knocking on our door and they are probably the FBI"
"Don't answer it"
"I know, we're hiding inside the rooms right now, I hope they don't break in"
"FBI OPEN UP"
The agents yelled as the girls shake in fear
"Unnie run, don't worry about us, RUN NOW"
