Taehyung's pov
I'm heading to my baby's house now. I know I met her yesterday but I have 4 days left with her until she goes back to Busan. I wanted to spend my time with her before she go and after that I'll probably die from too much longing. Kidding.. okay literally.
I arrived infront of her house and my heart pounded in my chest. Yeah, only she can do this to me. With a smile on my face, I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer hoping to see Aira.
Soon, the door opened to reveal Mrs Park and a frown involuntarily came to my face but I immediately take back my smile and greeted her with a hug.
Auntie chuckled, "You're hoping to see my daughter, hmm?"
I giggled innocently, "Yeah, is she here?"
Auntie pulled away and this time, it was her turn to frown. I felt a weird feeling in my stomach suddenly and I hope it was not something about Aira.
"She went to Busan." Auntie answered.
My heart dropped upon hearing that. She went to Busan? But her college days only start in 4 more days. Why is she going early? And she didn't even tell me..
"What? Why? I thought she's going there this Monday."
"Yes, but she's going there today not for her college. She went to Jinyoung's grandparents house. She said she wanted to stop by, I don't know why, sorry honey." Auntie looked at me sadly and I could feel my heart pick up its pace in nervousness.
She always notify me anything but why didn't she tell me this time? She's not planning to go back to Jinyoung right?
I bit my lips, feeling scared actually.
"By the look on your face, she didn't tell you about this?" Auntie asked knowingly.
I nodded.
"Don't worry, Taehyung. Everything will be okay. I know her, she won't do anything. She's not going to take back her words if that's what you're thinking." Auntie gave me a supporting smile and I gave a half smile in return.
"Let's wait inside now, wouldn't want to catch cold now do we?"
I chuckled, "Okay."

Aira's pov
I finally arrived to where my heart brought me. My home. Climbing out of my car, I headed to the front door. I was about to step on the porch when Taehyung walked out from the door.
He looked frantically worried when he saw my teary eyes and without saying a word, I immediately ran to him and hugged him. A surprised gasp escaped his mouth and he hugged me back with support when I felt weak in the knees.
How come I didn't notice about Jinyoung's behavior and action?
I heard another feminine gasp from behind Taehyung. "Oh my god, sweetheart! What happened? Why are you crying?"
I gulped and let go of Taehyung as I went to hug my mom. She hugged me back while rubbing my back comfortingly and she frowned.
"Mom," I breath, finally having the power to utter a word.
"Aira, honey, what's wrong? Did something happen at Busan?" Mom asked worriedly.
"Let's talk inside.. It's cold out here." Taehyung sighed as he placed his arm on my shoulder to help me inside.
I looked over to him to see a sad expression on his face. He must be sad because I didn't tell him about me going to Busan. I removed his arm from my shoulder and he looked scared for a moment until I intertwined my hands with his and a relief smile fell on his face. I pulled a small smile at him and he gave me a smile in return.
I sat on the couch with Taehyung next to me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder, rubbing on it to sooth me down. My parents sat on the couch across us who had worried expression on their faces.
"Do you want to talk about it baby?" Taehyung asked me softly.
I could hear fear somewhere in his voice as if he was afraid of something. Afraid of what I was about to say.
I licked my lips before pulling away from Taehyung's chest and sniffled. I looked at him and my parents and back to my hands as I sighed. The guilt was lingering around me and I felt mad at myself for not knowing about it.
I felt a large hand clasped mine, providing comfort and to be honest, it was what I needed at the moment even though I probably don't deserve it.
"It's about Jinyoung.." I started.
My parents nodded letting me continue while Taehyung gripped my hand tighter for a second.
"Grandma just told me that Jinyoung had a mental disorder because of his malicious past. When he was being overly protective over me, when he would physically hurt me, it was all because of his illness." I said, closing my eyes for a second and opening them to see my parents and Taehyung's expressions.
They were shocked too.
"I was stupid for not noticing it. How did I not realise about his behavior all this time I've been with him? I feel so guilty.." I sobbed again as I put my face in my hands.
Taehyung's heart breaks seeing Aira like this. At this point, it hit him real hard in the head. He finally understood how Aira felt when he was mourning over Jessica. It felt like someone just stabbed a knife in your heart over and over again.
Taehyung immediately pulled Aira by his side to comfort her and Aira's mom came over to sit beside her to provide her comfort as well.
"When did Jinyoung have this illness?" She asked.
"Long time ago. After his family died." Aira gulped as she pulled away from Taehyung and into her mother's arms.
"Tell me what happened."
"It started when his little sister died from leukaemia-"
"He had a little sister?" Her mother asked, surprised evidence in her voice.
She only nodded before continuing, "T-then, his dad became abusive towards his mother everytime he got drunk. The family suffered when the little girl d-died. His m-mother died two years after.. a-and then the next two years, he lost his fa-ather. H-he blamed it on him, Mom. He blamed everything that happened on him. He t-took anti depressant pills.. god, it hurts.. I'm just hurt, why didn't he tell me anything about this? I could've understand him better.."

3rd's pov
Taehyung felt like his heart was about to burst out hearing about Jinyoung. That guy went through so much pain. I understand why Aira was being like this, he thought. He placed his hand on Aira's thigh as he caressed it to give her comfort.
"Oh my god.. that's horrible. I can't believe he had to face that terrible events since kids. I feel sorry for him. It's okay sweetie, everything will be fine. I hope. Go meet him if that'll make you feel better."
Mrs Park rubbed her hands on her little baby's shoulder as she frowned seeing her daughter like this. Mrs Park looked up to meet eyes with Taehyung and she saw how sad his eyes look.
She sighed as she prayed in her heart that everything will turn out fine. She hope this won't effect their relationship because the two had faced so much pain too.
"I'm tired.." Aira said weakly. She felt like her energy was taken away after she heard stories about him.
This was too sudden for her. She didn't expect any of this to come. She didn't expect to hear this side of Jinyoung. It was too much for her to handle. She wished she had known. Because she didn't want to add pain to his already painful life.
"Then go take a rest, sweetie.. " Her mother said as she kissed her forehead.
"Taehyung, can you bring her to her room?" Her mom asked him and Taehyung nodded, pulling Aira up to the stairs.
She didn't really need it but Taehyung picked her up bridal style as he went up the stairs to her room. He felt soft when Aira snuggled her face deeper in his neck.
When they have reached her room, Taehyung used his right foot to kick the door close before settling down the girl on the bed.
He sat down infront of her when Aira didn't lay down on her bed. He sighed as he pulled Aira's head gently to his chest and play with her hair to calm her down. Sometimes life goes from sunshine to rain they said.
"Taehyung.. I'm sorry for not telling you I was going somewhere." She finally speaks.
He sighed, "It's okay but why did you go there in the first place?"
"I wanted to give back his clothes. I can't keep them." Aira said, pulling away from Taehyung's chest.
He can only sigh before speaking again, "Alright.. next time tell me, okay?"
She nodded.
"Tae, can we go meet Jinyoung later? I'm worried about him. I just want to make sure he's not doing anything stupid." Aira sighed and looked up to meet eyes with Taehyung.
"Okay, if that will make you feel better." Taehyung nodded and pulled a smile.
Aira, for the first time of the day, smiled, "Thank you."
"Anything for you sweetie."
After a couple minutes of silence, Aira spoke up again, "His grandma wanted me to help him. She.. she want me to save him.."
Taehyung felt his heart stopped a beat when he heard that. He felt scared at what Aira was trying to say. Is she going to choose Jinyoung over him? Is it going to be over between them two?
