It was pouring heavily for the past few hours the mist had made almost everything slightly observable because the funeral home was on the outskirts of the city.
                          
It had been a long time since Taehyung was in the funeral home, when he was young he used to spend the entire day there just crying and whimpering. But as years went by the distress started reducing little by little but hadn't vanished, it still used to cause a lot of pain off and not just pain, the silent pain.
                          
Years had passed since Taehyung had last cried over there, every time he just used to stay mum and minded his own business.  
                          
Yoongi and Seokjin were standing outside near the car with Hoseok when a figure came running from the entrance and stopped, her eyes were galloping around as if she was scanning for something.
                          
"Miss Eun! Over here!" Hoseok waved which caught the girl's attention and as soon as she noticed him she hurried over with a hundred questions yet to be answered by Taehyung.
                          
"Hoseok! Where is he?!" She asked while gasping for air while fixing her hair. 
                          
"Inside this building". Hoseok pointed towards the building with a sign of assurance written over his face. She turned around and was just about to leave when he said again.
                          
"Miss Eun please take care of him." He said looking straight into her eyes.
                          
DanOh knew very well he just gave her the commitment of protecting him, he who has been quietly hurting himself all this while not sharing his grief with anyone. 
                          
And she knew that this time she won't let him fall into the box of that tragic past.
                          
"So he didn't tell her?" Seokjin curiously poked Hoseok's arm.
                          
"Nope, but looking at her now I think I did the right thing," Hoseok said as if he was putting all his trust in DanOh. 
                          
"Well, he has changed a lot since what we three have seen him as. Don't you agree?" Yoongi raised his eyebrow looking at the two males beside him. 
                          
All agreed.
                          
The walls of the funeral home were voiceless as the evening had just begun after the sky kissed the sun a good night. All the birds were retreating to their nests back to their loved ones. 
                          
Taehyung needed the same.
                          
The mute atmosphere vanished after the footsteps of a person came rushing in searching for him. The room was empty as it was reaching its closing time which was the perfect advantage for DanOh as she found him quite easily. 
                          
In a corner was a man standing still, hands by his side, eyes which always used to glow for her were now sparkless, dead. But they spoke a thousand words enough for DanOh to realize what they meant.
                          
She rushed towards him and hugged him from the back. She was silent, she didn't speak a word just the silence was assuring enough... Or she thought so. 
                          
Taehyung didn't even respond to her instead he loosened her hands and turned around to meet her face, there were tears, falling from her cheeks. But he ignored her and went around.
                          
DanOh was confused, why? Did she do anything incorrect? She thought he'd need her when he was going through something tough. But then why?
                          
She followed him out and grabbed his hand. Taehyung still didn't react it was as if he wasn't even acknowledging the fact that she was here for him.
                          
"Why? I don't understand." DanOh questioned him firmly making him face her.
                          
Taehyung was mum for a while then responded by saying. "You shouldn't have been here". And once again shakes off her hand, with this he headed towards the lawn still face reactionless as ever. 
                          
DanOh was confused but most importantly hurt. She came here for him and now he refuses to talk or explain anything to her anything, she anyways didn't like the fact that he kept everything to himself.
                          
But this time she had, had enough. She was pissed, she wanted to do everything she could to save this guy but it looked like he didn't portray any cooperation.
                          
She decided to confront him at once. 
                          
"KIM TAEHYUNG YOU BETTER STOP RIGHT THERE." She yelled as loud as she could without bothering about her surroundings.
                          
The yell that made Taehyung stop his steps, was the first time she had gotten furious and that did make him a little nervous.
                          
"What's your fucking problem huh?! Don't you get it I want to help you and pull you out of the worst!" She shouted while approaching him. 
                          
"I can't you suffer like this. It hu-hurts me, you, idiot. I don't want you to endure that shitty pain all by yourself why don't you understand?! She yelled at that top of her lungs while finger poking his shoulders.
                          
Taehyung was saying everything through his eyes but at the moment it was difficult for DanOh to understand it. So he had to engage with it now.
                          
"Can't you see I am trying my best to be a perfect man to you!" He cried out which startled her.
                          
"I don't want you to see my drawbacks, I don't like it! I don't want you to feel bad for liking someone who has many problems!". He said it while tightly clasping her shoulders.
                          
"Why? I don't have any problem?" DanOh said calmly as she began to understand the situation.
                          
Every time whoever I have cherished have just been temporary with me. Bu-but please I am begging you don't leave me." Taehyung said as tears being to form in his eyes and his grip started feeling weak. 
                          
His feet fell shaky and he collapsed to the ground all while whimpering and pleading her not to ever leave.
                          
Seeing him in this already was a pain for her but now she couldn't let him feel sorry for himself. She sat down on her knees and her hands wrapped around him tightly. 
                          
Her touch was always warm for him it was as if he wanted to stay in her embrace forever and not leave. His hands grabbed hers and there he sobbed like a child not wanting to let go. 
                          
"You idiot I will never leave, just because of your flaws. So just trust me, and clasp my hand. We'll go through this darkness together". She said while lightly stroking his head.
                          
"Plus I wanted to say this for a long time and I wanna do it now" DanOh was hesitant but gathered up her courage. 
                          
"Taehyung-ah I love you". 
                          
Taehyung froze as he turned up his head to meet her eyes and as he expected they were full of love for him and he couldn't be more thankful.
                          
"I love you, I just love you so much I don't know how to express it. I just want to stay with you and never let go." He said between his sobs when made DanOh chuckle a bit and that's how they ended to stay in each other's embrace. Whilst the rain pouring from above made everything look even more gloomy.
                          
But that evening they understood something that life isn't just about waiting patiently and grieving about the dark storm to pass but to carry the courage and confidence and learn how to dance in the it.
