Third Person's P.O.V :-

Taehyung was sinking in the depths of the lake. His ears were blocked by the water as he saw the moonlight penetrating through the water surface and glistening. Bubbles were rushing past him and swimming towards the surface level while he sank further down.

Dare he say, it was a bit peaceful, he never knew the process of ending his life would be that comforting.

Even though the water was cold, dark and unforgiving, in that moment Taehyung felt like it had enveloped him in a warm embrace, snuggling him close in a warm blanket.

Taehyung closed his eyes and tried to accept his fate. His oxygen level was starting to run low as he felt a resistive urge going through his body, telling him to swim towards the surface of the pond and take a mouthful of air back into his lungs but he stopped breathing and held himself back. He told himself he didn't need anymore air. He just needed to keep holding on for a bit longer and he'd finally be free from his misery.

He sank further away from the range where the moonlight could reach him and let himself drown in the pitch black void of the pond.

He'd finally be able to see his beloved father and sister. He had missed them very much.

"What about mom?"

Taehyung's eyes snapped open as he immediately trashed around to see where that familiar feminine voice had come from only to see darkness surrounding him.

"What about our mom, Taehyungie?" The strange familiar voice spoke up again and Taehyung felt the two arms of a glowing celestial being wrapping around his torso.

Taehyung felt his heartbeat increase. He was certain. That was the voice of his sister, his Taeri Noona.

But could that even be? His Noona was dead, buried six feet under the ground in one of Seoul's cemeteries. His beloved elder sister...was no more.

He was hallucinating. Was this what happened to people being consumed by death?

Taehyung felt like crying in that specific moment, his chest shook with painful tremors as he tried to put his hand over the hand of his sister's glowing hand and tried to feel her warmth.

Even if it was just his imagination he wanted to remain in it till his very last breath ran out.

His sister. His family. He was happy to see her. He wondered if his father was going to show up as well. He'd love to walk towards the afterlife while holding their hands. That would be comforting.

Taehyung felt the head of his Noona resting on his shoulder,"Why are you here, Taehyungie? Why are you giving up your life?" His Noona whispered in a soft voice.

Taehyung didn't know what to say, his eyes started to sting as he thought about all the things that made him want to stop living.

"Taehyungie should not die." Taeri simply uttered, startling Taehyung a bit.

"Don't forget what they did to us, to our family, to our dad, to our mom....to me." The celestial being whispered sinisterly.

"If you give up your life, what will happen to our mom? She's still stuck in the hospital ward, you need to get her out one day and bring her home, bring our mom home, to her family, to you" Taeri continued, making Taehyung feel nauseous and light headed as he kept on listening to her.

"Those people tore apart our happy family, Taehyungie, it should be them who die not you." Taeri uttered and it made Taehyung's eyes snapped open as if he was just jerked out of a daze.

"Live, Taehyungie, don't give up, never give up, your enemies are roaming around freely, probably laughing at you" Taeri whispered in Taehyung's ear.

"Live and make them regret."

Taehyung suddenly coughed as all the oxygen ran out of his lungs and he started to thrash around in the water in desperation.

His persistent thrashing around and frantic movement made him quickly float up as he soon surfaced with a loud gasp and coughed up some water.

He struggled to stay afloat till his breathing was under control. His chest was still heaving like crazy as he somehow swum towards the edge of the pond and gripped the soil and grass with his clenched fists and tried to pull himself out.

His nails dug into the wet soil as he dragged himself on the land, mud getting all over his wet clothes and exposed skin.

He panted as he rolled over on the ground and started to sob uncontrollably while staring up at the starry night sky looking down at him sympathetically.

The more Taehyung stared up at the vast sky, the smaller he felt, shaking a little from the cold night air stroking against his wet clothes.

He was well aware that the celestial being in the depth of that pond was not his noona, it was his own conscience, telling him to live.

To keep on living despite all of it. To make a comeback from the deepest depth of hell he seemed to have fallen into.

Taehyung bawled his eyes out as he kicked the ground in frustration. All he was starting to feel was anger. He was angry at everything. Everything repulsed him.

Gritting his teeth he urged his body to conjure up enough strength to get up. He felt like every fiber in his body had turned into jelly after surviving that intense adrenaline rush of just trying to stay alive.

He clenched his eyes shut and growled as he turned and somehow stumbled onto his feet and started to run till he finally felt like he would no longer fall back down.

His tired feet took him near a tree as he leaned on it for a little bit and panted, his nerves still jittery and shaken up from surviving whatever that was, he felt was inside the pond.

He leaned on it till he felt fine.

But he was not fine, he missed his family. He desperately missed them.

So what if Jimin and Jungkook did not kill his noona? Their parents did.

Their parents killed his dad, caused his mom to go insane and violated his beloved sister before killing her.

What did he do to deserve all that suffering? What was his fault?

That's right it wasn't his fault, he was a victim. And the perpetrators? Jeon Jungoh and Park Jihyung.

He'd make them suffer, he'd make everyone suffer.

He'd show them what it meant to hold a vengeance.
