Taehyung P.O.V

I walked into my room quickly. I heard a loud crash coming from inside. As I opened the door my eyes immediately fall on Jisoo who was on the floor kneeling and crying hysterically, shaking. My feet dragged me towards her, "What happened?"
‎

Does it have anything to do with-
‎

"D...Dad. Taehyung. Dad. I-I don't know. Jungkook c-called me and s..said that Dad is no more. He is k-kidding, right? This can't happen. We j-just met today."
‎

Mom and Dad barged into our room. They looked concerned. I raised my hand and stopped them from saying anything. They probably got the news just now, "Let's go." She shook her head not letting me go, "P-Please. Tell me it's a lie."
‎

I picked her up in bridal style and made her sit in the backseat of the car. I told Dad to drive to the hospital as I wanted to look over Jisoo. Her eyes were all puffed from crying
‎

When we reached there, a nurse asked me about my relationship with him, "I'm his son-in-law." She leads us to the morgue room, "Don't open the door. Please." Jisoo pleaded
‎

"Jisoo." Jungkook came running towards her and made her sit down on the chair. He can handle her better than me in this situation, "Take care of her." He nodded

‎

My heart almost stopped as I saw Dad on the funeral stretcher, laying lifeless. I took a deep breath and went a little closer. I know this would happen. I shouldn't have kept my mouth shut but this was bound to happen
‎

The door opened revealing Jisoo. She took slow steps towards me, "Can you leave me alone for a moment please?" I wanted to stay beside her but am I even worthy enough to do that? No

*Flashbacks*
‎

"Please marry her, Taehyung. I won't be here for long. She needs someone who will take care of her and I know you'll be able to do that." Jisoo's Dad pleaded. Tears were rolling from his eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off him. It was even harder for me to reject his offer when he held my hands and begged
‎

"Don't do this, please." I made him stand up on his feet, "I-I will marry your daughter. Just promise me one thing. You'll never let her know all this. This will be a secret between you and me." He nodded and thanked me again
‎

"I have only 3 months. It'll be over soon. I'll be at peace. Taehyung, look after her, please. She is hot-headed and carefree but she is not bad from heart."
‎

"I will, Uncle."
‎

"Call me Dad."
‎

"Dad."

•••

The doctors confirmed that Dad was in the last stage of cancer. I tried to remain calm but there was a huge guilt inside me which was eating me alive. Jisoo was shocked by the newfound information. She blamed herself for all this
‎

The next day, the funeral was held. Every time I took a glance towards Jisoo, I felt her pain. The ritual was held. It was peaceful and calm there but Mom and Dad urged me to take Jisoo home. I did that because I knew that if she would stay there for more than 10 minutes, she would break down completely
