Hey Bubba,
How are you? Are you doing well? If this letter reaches you then I'm not there with you and I'm so sorry for that my Bubba. I don't want to leave you alone but there is nothing I can do now. It's too late.
I'm so bad at this letter writing stuff but still I will surely tell you everything because you deserve to know it.
When I was in my college I fell hard for a man. He was the most handsome person I had seen in my life and I couldn't help but get mesmerised by his charms. He had always been my crush and I kept on admiring him from the shadows. Then one day he approached me and I was over the moon. We dated and I kept on falling deeper every day. It was a fairytale. A beautiful story we were weaving together. One year later he proposed me and I happily said yes. Why wouldn't I? I was madly in love.
Our marriage was one of the most beautiful days of my life. The day we both became one. The day I finally got to be called his. I was on the seventh heaven Bubba. I was so happy.
We both became the Co-CEO of my dad's company. Everything was perfect. Then one day you came in our life and it became even more perfect. I never asked for anything else because I had everything. Or so I thought!
I never knew I had been living in a trap. A trap that was beautifully decorated by someone who had no value for love. I was so stupid. He never wanted me. He never loved me. All he wanted was money. I had started seeing the signs after just a year in our marriage but still I chose to ignore it. So stupid! But I was okay. I had you and it was okay.

The worst blow to me came when the company was handed over to me and your father started showing his real colours. He was such a jealous prick. Every scandal I got involved in was his doing. Every blow to my reputation as the chairwoman was his gift for me.
I was so blind earlier but when I started to notice his actions I couldn't stop. He even started a mafia behind my back. I can't help but call myself stupid again and again. Why was I so dense?
Fed up with everything I asked for a divorce but he begged me to not do that. He said he loved me and he was doing everything for me. He said he would change and I believed him. My stupid heart that still held love for him believed every lie he said.
My life did get better after that. He would show his love and support and I felt so happy. But then I got sick. My health started deteriorating slowly. He took me to the hospital and also took care of my medicines and reports. Whenever I saw you and your dad I felt so sad because I knew that my time was limited and that I couldn't be with you for long.
Finally I decided to hand over the company to your father before something happened to me but then I saw him putting something in my food. When I confronted him about it he said that it was a medicine for my cancer but this time I just couldn't believe him.
I went to a doctor in another city without telling him and I found out something that made me pity my own self. I was being poisoned Bubba. My husband had been poisoning me for I don't know how long. I didn't have cancer. I was being murdered slowly and it was too late. Nothing would cure me now. My organs were already damaged.

So I decided to act oblivious to everything. He thought that he was succeeding but in the end I gave the company to you. The look he had on his face that day gave me so much satisfaction. Even today I feel satisfied to know that I atleast did one thing for myself.
It's painful Bubba. It's so painful to be betrayed by someone you love so much. You die everyday. Your heart breaks into tinier pieces when you come to know that the person you love does not love you. I lived with that suffocation for years and now that I'll finally die in a few days I feel so happy. Never let that happen to your loved ones.
I'll miss you so much but you have to be strong for me. My Taehyungie you have to let that man know his place. Don't let him ruin your life.
Be happy my child. I'll always love you.
-Mom
Taehyung was drowning in his own tears. He clutched onto his shirt as he sobbed and hiccuped. He felt so small. He couldn't help but compare himself to his father.
Mom I did the same thing with Jungkook. Mom I broke your trust. I broke his trust. I destroyed everything like my father. He thought and cried harder. Everything was so suffocating. His mother was murdered and he didn't even know it. She was in pain and he couldn't comfort her even once.
On top of everything he did the same thing to Jungkook. He gave him so much pain. The tear stains on the letter were a clear evidence of the heartbreak his mother would have felt and Jungkook must have gone through the same. He cried even harder thinking that.
Who was he? Was he like his father too? He never asked his mother about her pains. He betrayed Jungkook and his hyungs. He killed his conscience. For what? For a murderer. For a father who did nothing but ruin lives around him.
But could he even blame it on that man. He let himself be controlled. He let himself be a coward only to lose everything good he had in his life. The words his mother wrote resonated in his mind.
It's so painful to be betrayed by someone you love so much. Never let that happen to your loved ones.
"Who would have protected my love from me mom?" He said out loud and laughed at his fate. He felt sorry for the people in his life. His mother, Jungkook and everyone around him had suffered after he came into their lives.
He couldn't help but feel like a curse.

Method Of Loci
Have you ever wondered how a blind person sees? Not their surroundings but in their mind, the place most sacred to anyone. Where they keep memories, ideas, dreams, fears, nightmares and where they let their imagination roam free. We with sight, see things in still photos or moving pictures from memories, or other references that we see everyday. Framing our mind into something that's usually the same as most of the population, something conformed. We see the same colors the same movements, the same designs. We may all think differently but we all see the same, both on the outside and the inside. Not Eliot because he was born blind, never seen a thing in his whole life, that is until the satellites appeared giving him vision and the whole world new possibilities. *** Apocalyptic setting.
