In the party hall...
Nancy
Nancy
"Hey Jimin! 👋🏻" Nancy called out cheerfully, her eyes twinkling with excitement.
Nancy
Nancy
"Where’s our birthday boy?" she asked, scanning the crowd.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
"Hey Nancy! 👋🏻" replied with a soft smile.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
"He’s at the poolside area," he added casually.
Nancy
Nancy
Nancy raised a brow. "What’s he doing there?"
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
Jimin scratched the back of his head. "A while ago, a maid came and said someone was calling him. 🙄
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
So he went to meet that person. I don’t know if it was a he or she. 😐"
Nancy
Nancy
"Oh… okay," Nancy nodded slowly, her cheerful tone fading.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
"But why is he taking so long? 😑 Do you think he’s alright? Or… did something happen to him?"
Nancy
Nancy
"Don’t worry, Jimin. He’ll be fine. 🙂" (But honestly… even I have a weird feeling about this. 😑)
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
Jimin bit his lip anxiously. "I think we should go check on him."
Nancy
Nancy
Nodded. "Yeah… let’s go. 😟"
The music faded behind them as both rushed toward the poolside, unaware that something dark might already be waiting there…

Introduction time..🤠
Nancy
Nancy
Hi, I'm Nancy! 👋🏻 I’m currently studying Business, and honestly… it’s been quite the journey! 📚✨ But the best part? That class gave me two of my closest and most real friends — Taehyung and Jimin. 😁💖 They’re not just classmates anymore, they’re my people. 💫

Now... let’s see what’s really happening behind the scenes. 👀
---
At the poolside area... 🌙 The soft glow of lights shimmered over the water, but the place felt oddly quiet.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
(looking around nervously): “Where is Taehyung? He told me he’d be here…”
Nancy
Nancy
(frowning slightly): “Yeah… then why can’t we see him?”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
(voice low, a bit worried): “I don’t know. This doesn't feel right…”
Nancy
Nancy
(taking a step forward, her voice trembling slightly): “Let’s look for him. He wouldn’t just disappear like that.”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
(nodding): “Yeah. Come on.”
They both start walking quickly, eyes scanning every corner.
Nancy
Nancy
(calling out, her voice echoing softly): “Taehyung? Are you here?”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
(his brows furrowed, voice louder now): “Tae?! Where are you, man?”
Silence. Just the faint rustle of leaves and the sound of water gently lapping against the tiles.
Nancy
Nancy
(anxiously): “Why isn’t he answering? Jimin… something’s wrong.”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
(jaw tightening): “Let’s keep looking. He has to be here somewhere.”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
(smiling, waving casually): “Hey Jimin ☺️ I’m here.”
Nancy
Nancy
(confused, scanning the area): “Tae?”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
(frowning, looking around): “Tae…?”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
(walking toward them, chuckling softly): “Why are you guys making noise?” “I’m literally standing right in front of you. 😏”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
He tilts his head, playfully: “Are you blind or what?” “Can’t you see me?”
Nancy suddenly points behind him, her eyes wide with panic.
Nancy
Nancy
(voice shaky): “Jimin… Tae… 👉🏻”
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
(staggering back a step, breath catching): “T-TAE!”
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
(raising an eyebrow, confused): “Finally you saw me! But why are you yelling like I’m a zombie or something?!” 😡
But… no answer. They don’t even look at him. They just… walk right through him.
Like he’s air. Like he doesn’t exist. Like he’s…
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
(staring in disbelief, voice dropping): “How can they… cross through my body…?” 😳 “What the f—”
His sentence cuts off as he follows their gaze. He slowly turns—
And there, floating lifeless in the pool… was him. His body. His own face, pale and still beneath the surface.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
(gasping, stumbling back): “No… No, no, no—what is this? That can’t be me—! 😳”
His knees weaken, but he doesn’t fall. Because he’s not even standing. He’s just… hovering. Weightless. Untouchable.
Park Jimin
Park Jimin
(rushing to the edge, panic rising): “Nancy! Call someone! Anyone—go! GO! 🥺”
Nancy
Nancy
(frozen for a moment, trembling): “Y-Yeah… I’m going! I’ll call them! 🥺”
She turns and runs, screaming through the backyard, her voice shrill with fear.
Nancy
Nancy
(yelling): “HELP!! SOMEONE COME QUICK!! PLEASE!! IT’S TAEHYUNG!!”

After that… Taehyung’s lifeless body was pulled out of the water.
The blue of the pool now looked colder, still, eerily quiet. But it was too late. Too late to save him. Too late to wake him.
Taehyung was no more. 😶💔
The music had stopped. The laughter faded into stunned silence. The once bright party lights now flickered like dying hope. Everyone who had just seen him smiling… dancing… laughing… …stood frozen in disbelief.
They couldn’t understand — How could someone so alive be gone just like that?
Everyone
Everyone
“He was just here…”
Everyone
Everyone
“No… it can’t be…” “Taehyung? That Taehyung?”
He was the kind of boy who bowed with respect. The one who helped the catering staff when they dropped plates. The one who remembered birthdays that others forgot. The boy with a heart too big for his chest. 🥺
Everyone loved him. Because he loved everyone.
---
His Mom drops beside his body, holding his cold hand with trembling fingers
Kim Hana (mother)
Kim Hana (mother)

(“Why, son? Why would you do this? Don’t you know how much we love you? We would've done anything for you… how could you leave us like this?”)
Kim Arthur (father)

“This pain… it’s unbearable.” 😭😭😭
Namjoon – standing behind them, frozen His face pale, his heart shattered.
Kim Namjoon
Kim Namjoon
“God… why him?” 😔
Kim Namjoon
Kim Namjoon
“He never hurt anyone… he didn’t deserve this.” “He was the purest soul I knew.” 😢
He gently places a hand on his father’s shoulder, swallowing his own grief.
Kim Namjoon
Kim Namjoon
“Dad… we have to stay strong.” 🥺 “You have to take care of Mom… she needs you. We both do.” 😢💔
Kim Arthur (father)
Kim Arthur (father)
Finally breaks down, shaking his head “I know… but I can’t, Joon. I just can’t… not without him…” 😭😭😭😭
Lily – voice trembling, hands pressed to her mouth She drops beside Taehyung’s still form, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Kim lily
Kim lily
“Tae… how could you leave us?” 😞😢 “Noona can’t live without you… you promised we’d grow old together, remember?”
Kim lily

“Please, Tae… please come back…” 😭😭 “I need you. We all do.” 💔

On the other side of the yard…

Looking up with red eyes, broken “He told me he’d be back… he told me, Appa… why isn’t he coming?” 😭😭🥺
Park Min-young.
Park Min-young.
Covering her face, sobbing silently “I can’t watch my baby break like this…” “God… why? Why Taehyung? He was just a boy… he was kind. He was light. Why him?” 😢
---
Nancy – standing quietly, face soaked in tears She doesn’t say much. She can’t. But her sobs say everything her lips cannot. 😭
Jimin’s Mom – gently wraps her arms around her

“Nancy, sweetheart… I know. I know it hurts.” 🥺

“Let it out, don’t hold it in…” 😢
Nancy
Nancy
"But aunty T-Tae.."😢😭
Nancy clings to her like a child, her cries echoing in the night sky… as the party becomes a memorial… and the night turns into mourning.
---
Now the news had spread like wildfire— Kim Arthur’s only son, Kim Taehyung, was dead.
And the world felt… wrong. Too quiet. Too heavy. Like the wind itself had paused in mourning.
Everyone believed it was an accident. A tragic drowning. A boy who had smiled just moments before now lay cold and still— gone.
---
✨ Somewhere between the realms of the living and the dead… ✨
Taehyung stood frozen, watching everything unravel. His eyes wide, lips trembling, heart aching though it had stopped beating.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
(voice cracking) “Why, God…? Why am I still here… if I’m already dead…?”
Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked around, seeing the shattered faces of the people he loved most.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“Why are you showing me this?” His voice barely a whisper. “Everyone’s crying because of me. I… I can’t take this. I can’t…” 😭
He reached out instinctively toward them—but his hands went right through.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.
“No… No, please… Mom… Dad… Noona… Jimin-ah… Hyung… Nancy…” 🥺💔
Their cries stabbed at his soul.
Kim Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung.

This chapter was full of heartbreak, I know… But sometimes, endings are just the beginning. Do you think Taehyung’s death was really an accident? Or is there more hidden beneath the surface?
