Author's POV || 1 week later 

"Mom... stop crying now.." Jungkook patted your mom's back who suddenly started crying at midnight, having a bad dream. You sighed and hugged her while Taehyung stood near you all, quietly. 

Because of unfortunate events, you and Taehyung moved to your house for a week or so. Today was your 4th day here and while sleeping, your mom suddenly got up and started crying claiming that she dreamt of your dad. It was hard to see her suffering, it was the purest love they shared and losing someone she relied on and loved so much was the hardest for her. You all could sense her grief and it broke your hearts even more.

--Time skip 

Taehyung patted your back and sat there quietly, on the bed, beside you. 
"Do you miss him?" He asked, softly. You nodded and sighed, "Better than the day we lost him but still... worse in some way..." 
"I'm sure he's there hoping everyone would stop hurting one day." He said, drawing soft circles on your back. You looked at him and leaned into him, pulling him closer, your head resting on his chest. You could hear his rhythmic heartbeat and a sigh escaped your lips.
"The house is really... empty." You spoke, in a shakier voice than you expected.

He didn't talk, but his comforting touch was enough to make you feel the comfort and warmth he wanted to give you. He had nothing to say honestly, there was nothing that could comfort you but he still spoke, "I'm really sorry..."
"You didn't do anything... why are you sorry?" You breathed out as he continued caressing your hair and said, "I'm sorry for... not knowing what to do right now. I really... really want to comfort you, but honestly, the situation doesn't help me with my intentions.. and I can't be any more guilty because, I don't know how to be there for you but- but I promise that... I'll always... always Y/N, I'll always stand beside you... comforting you, okay? I know I can never... be as good to you or love you as much as your dad did but, I'll try my best to be the best man who loves you the most and supports you the most after your father, I'll keep my word to him so... trust me, lean on me." 

You kept quiet, tears falling from your eyes. He wiped those tears softly, pressing a soft kiss on your forehead as you leaned on his chest. 
"Y/N..." He mumbled as you continued crying, not knowing how to respond. He let out a soft breath which hit your forehead and said, "Don't hold it in... if you break, I'll hold you I promise. I've seen you holding in every day... trying to support the others, your mother. I really admire you for that but, it's hard for you too, love. So, don't be scared, I won't let you break.." 

His words were so unusual, you doubted if your love was that deep to the point his words sounded so... different. His words were so deep, so sincere. You didn't expect any of those, not from him but he was proving you wrong. Maybe he had been saving all this sincerity for the time when you really needed it. 

He kept caressing your hair and drawing circles on your back with another hand. You felt so relaxed in his touch, you didn't realize it when you slowly drifted off to sleep. 

--Next morning

"Here, have this," Taehyung said, taking a spoon of soup and forwarding it near your mouth. You just stared at him blankly saying, "Can I eat later..?"
"You haven't eaten for hours now, please?" He asked, making desperate eyes as you gulped, looking down. You knew he was trying hard, but you didn't want to make his efforts go in vain, not when he was doing this for you and your family. 
You sighed and let him feed you, he smiled softly and said, "How is it?"
"Good.." You said, absentmindedly.  

"Have you eaten?" You asked as he didn't answer. You looked at him to see him pretending to focus on the soup. You sighed and said, "What a great way to hide your sins." 
"Sins?" He asked, confused. You sighed and said, "Have something too, don't just go around feeding others." 
"Well... you need to eat first." He said as you replied, "Eat with me."
"No..." He said as you said, "And you dare to call me stubborn." 

"Eat, quietly. Or I won't eat." You sounded serious, he sighed and said, "I really do-" 
But before he could complete it, he felt a piece of chicken being stuffed in his mouth. You sighed and looked down as he stared at you, shocked. 
"I'm taking care of you." You said.

---Time skip 

"Should we stay here for some more days?" Taehyung asked as you said, "Don't you have work?"
"I do... but I can take day off-" 
"Don't risk your job. Look, it's fine, it really is. I don't want you to take day-offs for me every day. You always do, I know people in your company always talk about you because you act like that, they say you're a lovesick puppy and stuff and I know it all... I don't want that, Taesshi.." 
"I don't care. You need me." He said. 

You softly brushed your fingers over his cheeks as he stared at you looking like a lost puppy. Who would've imagined he said those deep words to you yesterday? 
"Loss of someone isn't something we can control... so it really hurts deep. But, we can't stop our lives from that. Mom needed her children at this time, so I came here, we all needed each other. But almost a week has gone by... and now, I also have to work, and go back to my life. You too, Jungkook, mom, Mina... everyone. Dad might not be here but our lives have to go on, dad taught me that. I know I'm still really hurt.. he's my dad but, life doesn't wait for people, we have to continue... until we eventually heal, move on." 

Taehyung sighed and hugged you as you inhaled his scent, closing your eyes.
"Stop taking so many day-offs..." You said. He smiled softly and said, "Only for you." 
"People will talk about you.." You added as he said, "I'll bring you to my office someday and show them... who makes me so distracted from work. They'll probably understand... why I'm bewitched." 
You sighed hearing him and said, "Stop there, Mr Kim."

He smiled seeing you sigh in relief. He knew you were starting to feel better than before, exactly what he wanted. 
"You have therapy today." You said as he replied, "I'll go there tonight... don't worry.
"And next week too. Don't miss." He pressed his lips together and nodded, sitting down.

---A week later 

"Ah.. this tastes so bad.." You said, sighing. You looked at the time, 3:15 pm. Currently, you are working in your office, as an intern. After one month of internship, then you'd be getting a permanent job. But considering your father's unfortunate event, the company let you off for a week. 
You finished the document and sent it to your supervisor before looking at the phone's screen which was black. No notifications, no calls. 

Your phone suddenly pinged with a notification grabbing your attention.

Mina: Hey, make sure to eat your lunch! 

You smiled a little knowing well how considerate she was. 2 weeks passed by, but your mom was still not normal, you were, of course hurting but it was better than before. You were busy, trying to go on with life, and having so many lovely people around was definitely all you ever needed. 

Suddenly, your phone rang and you smiled seeing the name, 'Taesshi🍩' 
Well- the doughnut emoji was random but anyway, you picked up and spoke, "Hello?"

"What is my wife doing??" 
"Working."
"Lunch?" His voice seemed a little concerned. 2 weeks passed yet he was trying his best to make sure you don't hide anything from him like your pain or tears and you were grateful to him, more than anything. 

Guy needed to stop. My precious person. You probably were about to giggle but stopped, seeing a woman walking in front of you, she probably belonged to the planning team.
"I finished work. I'm about to get lunch in a few minutes."
"You don't need to actually... I sent your lunch already."

What? He did- what?

"What?"
"Yep, it might arrive in a few minutes. The deliveryman will go to your office and deliver it, okay? Just get it. And I ordered for your whole team... you know, you need to make an impression." 
"Are you trying to make me bribe them?" Your voice came out as a giggle. You couldn't help it, his actions were too-

"Well, anything for you."
"Did you eat?"
"Well, I'm waiting for the food to arrive there, then I'll also eat."
"You should just eat instead of being dramatic."

A few moments passed by in silence as you looked down, at the documents lying in front of you. You gulped and said, "Hey..." 
Hearing the soft hum from the other side made a smile spread across your lips. You just said, "Keep talking.." 
"Huh? What are you saying? Hey, you okay??"
You were missing him, you were sure of it. You wanted to see him, so much. If he could magically appear in front of you and heal all the things you had been feeling, you'd really die happy. 
"Hey... dumbhead?"
"I'm here." 
"Are you sad? Is it because..." He didn't complete his sentence. 
"Even if I'm sad, you're here." 

You could feel him smiling though the other side was silent. 
"Ms Y/N?? Who is Kim Y/N?" 

You heard a voice and turned your head to see a deliveryman standing there. 
"It's me!" 

"The food must've arrived, as well, okay? I miss you..."
"Me too.."
"Bye, love." 

He hung up as you smiled a little and walked towards the deliveryman, taking the bags of food.
"Oh, and this is the flowers which you've ordered." 
You frowned a little as the guy handed you a bouquet of flowers. You looked at the bouquet of red roses and smiled reading a little note on it, "Eat well and feed well, okay?" 

As the deliveryman left, you stood there, staring at the little note. A soft smile spread across your lips, a warm feeling rising in your stomach. You were a hundred per cent sure, you were done for. All thanks to him, your heart was done for good.
