It's been 2 months since your marriage and things were going quite fine.

Touchwood, you got a really cooperating, supporting, and loving family. Moreover, you've your bestie right here with you.

Things were sometimes pretty cool and sometimes really awkward between you and Taehyung.

He is no joke! He asks you to call him 'Mr. Kim' at the office and then at home, he'll get mad if you won't call him 'Taehyung'. Such a dual personality!

Seriously, what's wrong with him!

"All of you can leave now." Taehyung announced after the meeting got over. It was a less busy day so you got finished with the work by early evening.

With that, both of you headed out of the office, and off to your home. He'd go by his car along with Jungkook and you've to travel in buses to hide your secret marriage.

Entering inside your home, you heard panicked voices and sounds of crying.

Your breath hitched but you still followed the voices. They lead you to Mrs. Kim's room.

Opening the door, your heart stopped beating for a moment. Mrs. Kim aka your mother in law lied there lifeless.

"Unnie, Mumma left us." Yuna ran to you with drooping eyelids.

You were beyond shocked and couldn't even utter a word. But somehow, tears made their way out from your tired eyes.

Wiping them off, you hugged Yuna. Soo Hyun also ran into your arms. You cried feeling extremely helpless.

Your eyes roamed around the room. You spotted Mr. Kim aka your father-in-law sitting emotionless and staring at Mrs. Kim.

Soon, you spotted Taehyung in the corner of the room being balled and Jungkook was crying badly too.

You cursed your existence for the first time in your life. You lost your mother twice. During these 2 months, she showered you with utmost love, care, and affection. Your heart wrenched at your family's state.

Without any second thought, you went to Taehyung. He didn't cry at all. He just had an emotionless face. He was so broken that he couldn't even cry.

For the first time, you saw that vulnerability in his eyes. You immediately pulled him into a hug. He didn't move at all. All you could hear was his stable yet so unstable breath.

You remembered everything she told you to do after her demise. You somehow gathered the courage and began to prepare for the funerary rites.

She gave you all the responsibilities of this family. You can't just sit and cry. You'll have to take care of everyone starting from now on.

No matter how badly your eyes wanted to see her smile for one last time, your brain told you it's never possible again.

You knew this was going to happen but never expected this to be so painful. You used to go see the doctor with her. You took her to the best hospital to save her. But seems like, you were too late.

'You should've married him earlier so that you could've gotten more time to spend with her.' This sentence clouded your entire mind.

TIME SKIP

Next Day!

You were done with the funerary rites and mourning. All of you got back at around 9 at night.

You went to Mr. Kim's room with some porridge. He hasn't eaten since yesterday.

Without knocking, you entered his room. He was sitting at the edge of the bed looking out of the window and staring endlessly at the moon.

"Dad." You called and he looked in your direction.

"You need to eat." You reminded sitting beside him. He denied it with his hands.

"I understand your situation dad but mom won't be happy seeing you like this." You asserted sadly.

That's it. He broke down in tears.

"Y/n, she left me. She left me all alone. She didn't even let me say goodbye to her." He told choking on his tears.

"Dad, please don't cry. I'm with you. Please don't cry. She'll not be able to see you this way." You said cried along with him.

Half an hour later, you came out of his room after feeding him porridge by yourself because you knew he won't eat if you leave.

Next, you went to Yuna and Soo Hyun's room. Both of them were lying separately on their beds like living corpses.

Gosh! They're too young for this. You've lost your mom as well. You knew how bad all this was.

"Yuna! Soo Hyun! Come on, eat this up." You said sitting on Yuna's bed.

"I don't feel like eating." Both of them said at the same time.

"No excuses. You've to eat. Come here both of you!" You said and dragged Soo Hyun to where you were sitting.

Feeding both of them with your own hands, you tried to talk with them but none of them responded. Both of them seemed too lost.

You were about to go but Yuna stopped you.

"Unnie, I miss her." She muttered holding your hand.

With that, she hugged you and began to cry. You patted her back.

"I'm sorry Yuna that Unnie can't do anything. Please don't cry. She'd feel bad if she sees you like this." You tried to console her.

She slept while hugging you and crying. Your sight went to the lying figure of Soo Hyun. He was asleep as well.

Standing up, you kissed his forehead and saw dried tears on his face.

"Good night my strong babies." You said looking at both of their sleeping figures.

Jungkook was still not back. He was taking care of all the things by himself.

Gathering up courage, you entered your bedroom. There, you saw a not-so-good view.

Taehyung was still sitting like a living corpse. He didn't shed a single tear all the time. You knew he was holding back himself.

But this was not good for his mental health. You couldn't just let him do this.

"Taehyung?" You called and he hummed.

"What is it? Share with me." You said sitting beside him.

"Nothing." He replied shortly.

"You don't need to act strong all the time. I know you're very upset. Just stop being emotionless. I can't stand you." You said with a cracked voice staring right into his eyes. He didn't budge.

Sighing, you hugged him. Patting his head gently, you tried to comfort him.

"Taehyunga, no matter what, I'm always here for you. You can just tell me whatever is troubling you. It's fine if you don't act strong in front of me. I-" You couldn't even complete and you heard his small sobs.

Seconds later, the strong guy broke down on your shoulder. He cried and cried hopelessly. Tears rolled down your cheeks just by hearing him cry.
