Thank You

***Taehyung's POV***

I drove to my gravesite. I parked the car and ran as fast as I could across the paved walkway. I stopped when I saw Seoyeon sitting by my grave.

I slowed down my steps and tried to catch my breath while walking closer towards her.

"Seoyeonie...." I called out to her.

She looked up and saw me. She quickly got up.

"Mr. Jeon. What are you doing here? Wait... what did you just call me?"

"Seoyeonie...." I answered while still trying to catch my breath. She had a puzzled look on her face.

"Who are you?"

Her question caught me off guard.

"I'm Jungkook Seoyeonie," I tried to convince her.

"Hani told me everything. You don't even know Taehyung. And why are you calling me Seoyeonie? Only Taehyung and Hani call me by that name."

I gently closed my eyes in frustration at myself. I was so worried about her that I let it slipped.

"Seoyeon-sii..." I said as I walked towards her trying to cover my slip up. She automatically backed up as if she was afraid of me.

She looked so fragile and it frightens me. If I tell her everything, she would think Jungkook is crazy and just break apart even more. I have to tell her the truth. But she won't believe me.

I bit my lips nervously. What should I do to get her to believe that I was Taehyung?

I closed my eyes and let my voice sing out to her...

🎵kkwak jabajwo nal anajwo

Can you trust me, can you trust me,

can you trust me

kkwak kkeureoanajwo🎵

I slowly opened my eyes and watched as her eyes grew wider at me.

🎵kkwak jabajwo, nal anajwo

Can you trust me, can you trust me

jebal jebal jebal kkeureoanajwo🎵

"How did you know this song?! Only Taehyung and I know because he wrote this song for me."

I smiled at her.

"It's me Seoyeonie."

"What?" She asked me.

"Kim Taehyung."

"Taehyung..... Oppa?" She asked in a trembling voice.

"Ne, I'm your Taehyungie."

Seoyeon jumped into my arms. I hugged her back tightly. It felt so good to finally hold her in my arms again. We held each other for a while, scared of what's to come if we let go.

I eventually broke the hug. I needed to explain everything to her. I held onto her shoulder.

"Seoyeonie, listen to me. I have always been around you and Jungkook. In fact, I have been helping Jungkook. Although we only knew each other recently, Jungkook is a good person."

"Oppa, what happened? Why are you here as Jungkook? Aren't you here to stay?"

"No, I am just borrowing his body for a bit. You hurt Jungkook a lot when you said that he was not me. He got really drunk and lost consciousness. I know it's hard to believe everything and it seems crazy, but it's true. Jungkook, he loves you. I can feel what he is feeling."

"But Oppa.... I can't do that. I.. I... I don't like Jungkook. I love you. I won't betray you Taehyung Oppa."

She was never a good liar. Her eyes were avoiding contact.

"Seoyeonie, don't lie to me," I answered her.

"I trust Jungkook and I believe he will be able to make you happy."

I won't be able to forgive myself if you become stuck alone wandering the world.

"I was happy Seoyeonie. You were everything to me, but I am no longer alive. I wanted to let you know that I want you to live. Please live for me and for Jungkook. He truly loves you."

"Oppa.. I.."

"Look at me Seoyeonie."

I gently lifted her chin so that she would stare into my eyes. Ani, so that she would stare into Jungkook's.

"Look into this man's eyes and tell me that he doesn't make your heart go crazy. Tell me that you don't love him."

She sniffled and looks deeply into Jungkook's eyes. She couldn't answer me. I knew then that she loves Jungkook too.

"This person in front of you loves you Seoyeonie. He loves you so much, and you love him too."

"Oppa..."

"Don't deny it anymore. I know and it's okay with me Seoyeonie."

She broke into a cry that pained my heart so much.

"I'm so sorry Taehyung. He makes my heart beat fast and.. and.. I felt so guilty towards you.. and I was so angry at myself for falling for someone else besides you...."

"Shhhh.." I pulled her back in for another hug. I gently patted her back. "I know. Please don't feel guilty for me Seoyeonie. I want you to be happy. I want you to be loved. And.... I want you to love again."

Her cries slowly started to stop.

"Oppa...." She whispered into my chest still sniffling. Her eyes closed as she continued.

"I think I really needed this closure. I felt like my whole world came crashing down when you left me. I tried to follow after you Oppa, but... Jungkook was the one who stopped me," her eyes opened and she gazed up into my eyes while still holding on.

"He comforted me when I needed you most and when I was in his arms, I felt so safe and secured... just like when I was with you. I really hated myself for falling for Jungkook. I thought if I broke his heart, he would be able to forget me....."

"Will you trust me, one last time Seoyeonie?" I closed my eyes with my forehead up against hers waiting for her answer.

"Yes, Oppa."

"You need to open up your heart to him, to this person who is standing in front of you. Ne?"

I opened my eyes with my forehead still against hers and our eye made contact. Her dark brown eyes looking deep into mine weld up with tears as she answered me.

"Ne Oppa. I'll be happy and I'll love again but.... I won't ever forget you so don't ask me to forget."

I smiled, thankful that I will still hold a special place in her heart. I pulled back but with my arms still around her waist.

I stared at her lips wanting to feel her lips one last time before I leave this world, but I stopped myself. It wouldn't be fair to Jungkook. I can't take his first kiss with Seoyeon. I had to control myself so I let go of her. Instead, I held her hand while we walked to Jungkook's car. I asked her to spend the night with Jungkook since he was really hurt and asked her to make up with him.

When we arrived, I led her upstairs and into his room.

I held onto her hand while I laid down in Jungkook's bed. She sat in a chair next to me. I closed my eyes and soon I felt my body become light as a feather.

"I have loved you Seoyeonie," I managed to whisper to her.

I opened my eyes and got up from the bed. I turned around and saw that Jungkook was lying in his bed.

"I loved you too Kim Taehyung," She replied. Her smaller body was slightly turned towards her left and her right hand was holding Jungkook's hand while her left hand gently stroked Jungkook's light brown hair.

I walked around Seoyeon until she was in front of me. I slowly leaned towards Seoyeon's lips. My eyes closed as our lips met for the last time.

A tear ran down my face as I opened up my eyes and pulled away from the kiss. I backed up slowly to see that her eyes were closed as well. She slowly opened them and tears fell from her brown orbs. She gave me a teary smile before our final goodbye.

"Thank you, Kim Taehyung."
