The sounds of Taehyung's heavy footsteps bounce off of the walls and echoed in (Y/N)'s ears.

She felt as if her feet were no longer bound by the metal chains, but swallowed into the cement below her. She could not bring herself to take a step, she wanted to go after him, but couldn't. She was paralyzed.

Her tongue blocks the back of and her bottom lip began to quiver. Her dark eyebrows knit in a sadden furrow as she watches Taehyung's tall figure grow further and further away from her.

"W-What is your fate, my love?" (Y/N) choked out, resulting in Taehyung to stop in his tracks. "Our fate. Kim Taehyung, do you..still love me?"

(Y/N)'s warm, shaky breath huffed out thick clouds of white into the air as her (e/c) eyes stared up at Taehyung's back that was facing her. Her knees buckle and her legs shake.

Taehyung did not speak.

(Y/N) drank in the silence to counteract the fear and uncertainty that threatened to engulf her fragile form.

The silence was as thick as the tension and it chilled her to the bone, especially on this inky night devoid of even bright moonlight and stars.

She felt like a slave to it.

(Y/N) swallowed thickly. Her cold, slender fingers pinch the silver locket that once was a gift from Taehyung loosely around her neck and held in tightly in her palm as her hands overlap themselves.

Her lover's ongoing silence made her blood as cold as the autumn air that crept through the metal bars blocking the small window. 

She pressed her clenched fists to her sternum anxiously as she watched Taehyung slowly turn his head to the right. Glancing over his shoulder, their eyes met. Pairs of (e/c) and translucent milky blue lock.

His sorrow came in secret. Half on his dark brows and half in his mind.

Finally, Taehyung had parted his soft, peachy pink lips. And with his soft but deep velvety voice that (Y/N) loved so much, he spoke.

"My heart will forever and always belong to you.."

A singular warm tear rolled off (Y/N)'s flushed cheeks and dripped onto her closed fist as she could do nothing but watch Taehyung leave her.

Alone, chained, and cold she was.
