I run towards Jin's place without stopping. It's still snowing out and I have no coat on, yet I didn't feel cold. I finally reached to his place and I realized I don't have a key to his place. I start to knock on the door loudly.
"Jin! Open!"
I get no answer.
I try turning the door knob, but it was locked.
I push the door but it won't budge.
I try twisting the door knob again, and this time, the door unlocked.
Without hesitation, I run towards Jin's room. I open his closet and look up at the lockbox.
I take it down and throw it to the ground. I kneel down and I bring the key to the key hole. I fumble with putting the key in. I unlock it to open and My heart stops for a moment.
Those pictures of me. Of when I was changing.
The undeveloped film.
I start to cry.
Jin? Jin did this to me?! Jin did this?!
I felt guilt rush through my body. I start to shiver from being in shock.
I dig through the lock box and I find Taehyung's school ID.
His picture just staring right at me.
Why are you looking at me like that Taehyung?
I've been living a whole fucking lie? I've been believing Jin this whole time?
Why does Jin have Taehyung's ID?
I grab the sides of my hair and pull onto them.
I yell,
"Taehyung! Show yourself! Please! I know it's you! It's you this whole time! I need to see you!"
I look around to see nothing.
Why aren't you showing yourself to me now?
I realize that what I've done to Taehyung was wrong. I believed a liar and now he's mad.
He's coming after me.
I'm next.
Wait.
Maybe if I go to him, he'll show himself. He'll spare me. He'll forgive me.

I get to the cemetery where Taehyung is buried. I didn't know exactly where it was. The darkness wasn't helping either. I can't see any of the lettering on the tombstone. As I got deeper into the cemetery, I look towards the cemetery pond about 25 feet away from me; a silhouette.
It's as if they were transparent, transitioning to opaqueness. I walk slowly towards them, trying not to make a noise. As I get closer and closer, I look to the tombstone to see,
Taehyung Kim
Died on Febuary 10, 2081.
An angel taken by his own hands.
I look to this mysterious person and my eyes don't move.
They turn around slowly and our eyes meet.
Taehyung.
He's still a teenager.
He still looks the same.
I was frozen and couldn't move anything. My body was stiff, yet I felt calm and safe.
I felt a sense of happiness.
I was cold, but looking into his eyes, I felt warmth coming up my body.
He smiles softly to me and walks closer to me. He stops a foot away from me. We both just stare at each other. I then see that the snow starts to melt and the darkness of the sky transitions into a bright sunny day. The trees grew leaves and flowers rapidly. The winter is gone and it's now summer. It's warm and the sun is shining onto me. The sunlight is on us. The wind blows the petals off of the trees and some fall onto my face. The wind blows my hair onto my face as well.
He uses his finger to move my hair out the way and caresses my cheek with his finger. I felt a tingly sensation and get butterflies in my stomach.
He then puts his hand out for me to grab. I look to him with wide eyes. I slowly reach my hand for his and intertwine our fingers. I felt a rush of happiness and I felt warm by his touch.
"I missed you," I say to him softly.
He closes his eyes and beams me a smile. He turns towards the pond and pulls me, walking towards it. We get closer and I lean over to look at my reflection.
I put my hand on my face, realizing I've become a teenager again. I look to him and I gasp lightly.
He then walks into the pond, tugging onto my arm for me to follow. I put my feet in and it felt nice and cool. He pulls me deeper into the water, making us stand in the middle of the pond.
He then pulls me close to him and he holds me by my waist. I wrap my arms around his neck and stare into his eyes.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you Taehyung. I'll be here with you forever. I'll never leave your side again."
He gives me a forgiving look and smiles softly.
Without saying a word, I knew what he wanted me to do.
Stay with me forever.
I nod.
I rest my head onto his chest and held him tightly. I closed my eyes, eventually falling asleep from his warmth.
