Why?

Why did just you always become the target of the fate's oppression?

Why didn't those scars name to heal despite your thousand attempts?

Hitting your back against the wall of empty elevator, you covered your mouth with hand to throttle the sobs. Your eyes started burning with the gloss of agony. The thing you were afraid of the most, was happened. Still unable to believe in your eyes for seeing him standing in front of you, you shook your head.

"No, it can't be," You mumbled, "it can't be."
You knew that once he got a single sign for an approach to you, he would definitely reach to you. And you didn't want that, never.

You wiped the tears rolling down your cheeks and checked the number on the board. The elevator was going down to the ground floor again. Praying in your heart to not see him again anywhere in the mall, you closed your eyes and with a pounding heart, you waited for the ground floor to arrive.

Once the elevator stopped and the doors opened, you rushed out of the lift like a bullet shot from a gun. Seokjin and Luna were still there where you left them. Busy in their tattle, they didn't notice you pacing towards them. It's when you reached to them, they got startled.

"What happened, Y/N?"
Both of them asked in unison as they saw you hyped.

"I need to go back."
You said, taking Mona from Seokjin's arms. His brows furrowed as he noticed your swollen eyelids.

"Is everything okay? Tell me."
At his inquiry, you nodded shortly.

"Just drop me back to home."

You replied and hushed Mona who had become a little restless at the sudden change of embrace. The anxiousness on your face alarmed them.

"At least tell us what happened?" Said Luna worriedly.

"Can't tell right now. Please let's go. Or if you guys don't wanna go back, then I'll go by myself. I can't stay here anymore."

Saying this, you turned to go when Seokjin hurriedly came forward and spoke up.

"Okay okay. Don't worry, let's go."

"But we'd planned to go to the amusement park too." Luna whined like a child, dragging her feet behind you and Seokjin. You turned to Luna and said.

"I'm sorry for that. But I can't stay here even for a second. You can go to the park with Seokjin. I'll take a cab."

"No, Y/N. If you're not coming along, then we'll also not go anywhere. Come on let's go back."

Seokjin shook his head. His tone was a little downcast which made you feel guilty. But you were not ready to face the consequences of staying out. Luna's face changed colors for a second at Seokjin's words but she kept quiet.

Cancelling every plan, all of you settled in Seokjin's car and started to drive back home.

"Now tell us. What happened? Why are you pale and flabbergasted?"
Examining your overanxious state, Luna couldn't help but ask the main reason.

And in the answer, you explained how you came across Jimin on the second floor.

"What? How is it even possible? I mean I met him yesterday and from his behavior, it didn't seem like he knew anything about you living here." Seokjin, looking at you from the back view mirror, expressed his quandary while also focusing on the drive.

"But yes, he was eager to know where I would go today."

"He did know about me." You replied, leaving him dive into wonderment even more, and told him about the phone call incident a few days ago and expressed your doubts about it.

"Well I didn't share your number with him 'cuz I don't wanna put you into another trouble."Seokjin cleared his collar from the doubt, "As for Taehyung, well, nothing can be said."

"I'm hundred percent sure it's his manipulation." At your stern tone, Luna put a hand on your shoulder and repeated the same song.

"Y/N, don't assume anything on your own. Taehyung might be innocent in this case."

You shook your head, not wanting to believe at any cost. Shrugging away her hand, you warned.

"I can't change your thoughts, but if any of my perils comes true, I'll be seeing him."

A wrinkle of thought appeared on Seokjin's forehead.

"What perils?"

"He didn't approach me for nothing. I know he's up to something again and my sixth sense is shouting that he will again put me in a big trouble."
At Seokjin's question, you said in a voice full of concern. He, after parking the car in front of Luna's house, turned back you and gave you assurance.

"I don't think he will do any such thing, but even if he does so, then remember; I'll always be at your side. Feel protected."

His lips curved into a warm smile at his last words. You felt your worries a bit lessened. Luna looked at you both for a couple of moments and, without saying a word, she got off the car and took quick, short steps towards the main door. Her behavior felt weird to you but you didn't say anything about it and with a humble 'thank you', you got off the car with Mona in your arms. She was sleeping soundly, so you were careful not to wake her up.

You were about to enter the opened door when Seokjin's voice caught your feet.

"Y/N."

You turned to him,

"Yes?"

He came close to you, and God knew why your heart started thumping in your chest.

"From now on, never feel yourself alone. I'll always be there for you whenever you need me. Just call my name and I'll be with you, no matter if it's day or night. No matter how hard the time comes, no matter how big the hurdles are; I'll never let you fall."

staring into your eyes intensely, he promised. Listening to him, you felt like your heart was pounding in your ears when his last promise shook you to the soul. Jimin also had promised the same. He also had said he would never let you fall. He really didn't let you fall, but what he did was a thousand times worse than that. Taking you to the skies and then shattering you to the ground with such a force that you were still collecting the shattered pieces of your soul.

You stole gaze from his eyes twinkling with the light of new love and a thousand hopes.

"Seokjin, I- " Words stuck in your throat as you tried to resist him. He was so nice to you, more than needed and it made you sense the feeling you didn't want to feel. And today it got clear that he was deeply interested in you, but instead of feeling loved and secure, your heart sank deep inside you.

"I- I better be going," You said, ending the conversation and turned when again his words stopped you. But this time you didn't turn around.

"I know it must be pretty hard for you to accept anyone at this time. But I promise I'll never break your honour and trust."

The resolute utterance of his voice made you feel shivers. You were not out of one trouble yet and here his sudden promises puzzled you even more. You were not ready for this, not at all.

"Good bye Y/N, take care of yourself." Saying this, he didn't wait for your answer and settled back in his car. He started the engine and drove off.

You turned and watched his car until it took turn to another street. God knew for how long you would stand there with mind full of battling thoughts when Luna's voice startled you.

"He's gone. Come in now."

You nodded and were about to turn when you felt like you were being watched from a distance. You ran your eyes at both sides of the street. No soul was there to be looking at you.

Heaving a sigh you entered the house and closed the door behind you. Joining your steps, Luna asked normally.

"What was he saying?"

"Nothing so important."
You shook your head shortly earning a small hum from her in response. As you entered the lounge, you directly climbed upstairs to your to lay Mona down on the bed, never having an inkling that Luna's flaming gaze was glued on you all the time as she stood in the center of the lounge. She had heard all the conversation between you and Seokjin standing right in the porch, but pretended to be like a total stranger to it.

"Y/N...no!"
I tried to reach the elevator but it closed before I could get in.

What a hapless loser I was! Praying for a lifetime to cage her in my embrace and when she came right before my eyes, my stunned state ruined everything. I checked the number on the board, the lift was going to the ground floor. Without wasting a millisecond I stampeded towards the stairs. God had given me an opportunity, and I was not in the mood to waste it at any cost.

Climbing down the stairs, I bumped into an old lady and her stick fell in the stairs. I picked it up and handed it over to her, without saying a single word of apology.

"Be careful, young man."
She said, but I didn't have the time to be careful at the moment. Never looking back at her, I poured in the center of the mall and ran my eyes around.

Gosh!

How would I find her in that multitude? I couldn't even yell for her for she would definitely run away.

Stumbling and bumping into people, I checked every that figure who wore milky orange shirt and light blue jeans without being noticed. I swear if Y/N would have seen me doing that, she would have got even more offended, thinking that I was ogling random women.

My mission impossible was continued when my eyes fell on Seokjin Hyung only to frown.
What the heck was he doing here?

But I didn't have to think more on it when my eyes found the figure beside him. Y/N. Standing with a baby in her arms, she was saying something to him. I was hundred percent sure the baby was my daughter, Mona. A strange kind of joy and energy filled in my veins. But before I took a step, she turned to the exit of the mall with Seokjin Hyung following her. And oh! Luna was also there.

I turned my feet towards their direction. Seeing them settling in Seokjin Hyung's car made me hurry to mine too as I got out after them.

As I stalked them, the time relived in the back of my mind when I stalked her to reach to her house with the help of Taehyung. A hurt smile spread on my lips. The history was repeating itself. Then I wanted to make her crazy for me, and today I myself was crazy for her.

Their car entered a newly constructed residential area, and stopped near a house in the second sector of that phase.

I ran my car back a little and standing in another street, I got off. To get a proper view of them without coming in anyone's eyes, I hid behind a fence of a house at the corner of the street.

Y/N was standing in the doorstep and Seokjin Hyung was saying something to her. It was getting dark. I couldn't hear anything nor did I get able to at least see their lipsing properly so that I knew what matter they were discussing. But it was obvious whatever Hyung said, wasn't liked by Y/N. That I could tell by seeing her steal gaze from him. And at once she turned to enter.

Hyung was leaving but Y/N still stood there watching him get out of sight. I quickly hid myself more to not come in Hyung's eyes. When my eyes again fell on Y/N she was looking around as if she had got suspicious of being watched. I must admit her sixth sense was sharp.

After her entering the house, I got back in my car and drove to the hotel I booked a room for myself, despite dying to go and fill her in my embrace. Despite dying in the desire to lift my daughter in my arms listen to her sweet voice, I returned back because I knew my over emotional behavior could ruin everything. And I didn't want that. I had to wait for the suitable moment, and God knew when it was going to come.
