Reborn: To Correct The Mistake's.
Episode - 5
The skies wore a mourning gray.
Clouds hovered low, as if the heavens themselves were grieving.
The funeral grounds were silent — except for the sounds of quiet sobs, rustling leaves, and the soft murmur of prayers. White flowers were everywhere, wilting slightly in the heavy air.
Rows of people stood under black umbrellas, heads bowed.
Taehyung’s framed photo rested gently against the casket, his smile forever frozen in time.
Taehyung's mother (Mrs. Kim) gripping the edge of the casket, sobbing
Kim Hana (mother)
“My baby… my sweet boy… Taehyung-ah… why did you leave me? 😭😭”
She collapsed onto her knees, her fingers trembling against the wood.
Kim Arthur pulled her into his arms, barely holding himself together.
Kim Arthur (father)
voice shaking
“Don’t cry, Hana… don’t… if you break, I’ll break too… 😢”
Lily's tears falling, but her voice strangely composed
Kim lily
“Yes, Mom… please stop crying. We… we can’t do anything now… 😢😭”
Kim Namjoon
Softly wrapping an arm around Lily
“You too, Lily… don’t cry, baby… we have to stay strong. For him. 🥺”
But something in his voice cracked.
Nancy holding tissues to her face, unable to stop shaking
Nancy
“He was just— smiling yesterday… just yesterday…”
“Why did this happen to him… he didn’t deserve this 😭😭”
Jimin standing near the grave, hands covering his face
Park Jimin
"Dad… Tae… Taehyung-hyung… please wake up… please—”
His knees buckled, and his father caught him.
Park Seo-Joon.
Gently, trying to be strong
“Don’t cry like this, son… if Taehyung could see you, he’d be heartbroken. 😢”
Park Min-young.
Softly running her hand down Jimin’s back
“He loved your smile… remember? Smile for him, baby… even if it hurts... 😢”
And standing just behind them all…
A boy no one could see.
No one could hear.
No one could touch.
His soul hovering near the casket, tears in his eyes
Kim Taehyung.
“Umma… Appa… Noona… Jimin-ah… please… don’t cry…”
“I can’t bear this… I can’t see you like this… 🥺😭”
His hands reached out — but passed through them like wind.
He dropped to his knees, right beside his own body, shaking.
Kim Taehyung.
“God, why… why are you letting me see this…?”
“Is this a punishment?”
“Was I that bad… that I have to watch my own family break…?”
He clutched his head, soul-fragments flickering in agony.
The funeral chants grew louder, and the casket began to lower…
Everyone gathered closer, eyes red, sobs echoing through the open ground.
Some whispered prayers. Others cried openly.
Because Kim Taehyung, the boy with the kindest heart, who always smiled for others —
Was no more.
The sun had long dipped below the horizon, leaving the sky stained in shades of violet and ash.
The wind was quieter now.
The funeral ground — once filled with people and prayers — had fallen into stillness.
Only the soft rustling of leaves and the lingering scent of incense remained.
One by one, they had all left.
The grieving family.
The friends with red-rimmed eyes.
Even the priests.
The rituals were over. ✅
The world was moving on…
author(Anna)..
"But… hold on."
"We can’t say everyone is gone… can we?" 🙄
"Because someone’s still here…"
author(Anna)..
"Let’s take a closer look… shall we?" ❓👀
Taehyung's (soul, quietly drifting near his own coffin) —
🕊️
Kim Taehyung.
“What’s happening here…?”
Kim Taehyung.
“Didn’t everyone already go home?”
“Why is Noona still here…?”
He steps closer, the air around him growing cold.
The grass beneath his feet doesn’t rustle.
The shadows stretch as the moonlight turns pale silver.
Lily suddenly bursts into laughter.
Not the kind that comes from joy —
But the twisted, chilling sound that freezes your bones.
Kim lily
😈😂 “Hah! Finally!”
“Everything went perfectly…”
Kim Taehyung.
(startled) —
😳
“What the…?”
“Why is Noona smiling like that?”
“That… that’s not grief— that’s… madness.”
A voice speaks beside her.
Lewis Thomas
“Congratulations, Lily. Our plan worked.” 😏
“The great Kim Taehyung is dead.”
Rony
👏🏻🎉 “We did it!”
“No more golden boy hogging the spotlight.”
Kim Taehyung.
(watching, frozen) —
“W-What…?”
“Why… why are they congratulating each other…?”
He inches closer — standing beside his own coffin now.
His name carved into the wood.
His picture framed with flowers.
His body lying cold and still inside.
And they’re standing right next to it — laughing.
Lily —
Kim lily
😈 “You know what the best part is?”
“Now everything will be mine… The name. The money. The sympathy. The control.”
Kim lily
“Kim Arthur’s grieving little girl— what a perfect mask, huh?” 😏
Kim Taehyung.
(trembling) —
🥺💔
“Is she… serious?”
“Noona… why are you saying this?”
“Didn’t you love me?”
Lewis Thomas
😆 “You don’t even have to explain. We know everything now.”
Rony
“Yeah. You played it perfectly.”
Kim lily
(turning to the coffin, smirking cruelly) —
“That Kim f*cker Taehyung really thought I loved him.”
Kim lily
“He believed all my hugs, my tears, my ‘I’m proud of you, Taetae’.”
😈 “What a joke.”
Kim Taehyung.
“Noona…”
“You— you didn’t mean those things?”
“All this time… it was fake?”
Lewis Thomas
“Tell us though… Why’d you do it?”
“Why go this far?” ❓
Rony
“Yeah, you never told us the full reason.”
“Why betray your own brother?” 😕
Taehyung —
Standing motionless, soul trembling.
Eyes wide, shimmering with disbelief.
Kim Taehyung.
“Yes… why?”
“Please… tell me this isn’t real…”
author(Anna)..
“And just like that, the truth began to unravel…
Right in front of Taehyung’s soul…
As he stood between life and death—
Betrayed not by a stranger…
But by the one who once called him ‘family.’”
Kim lily
"It's a long story…"
She smirked, brushing imaginary dust off her black dress, the same one she wore to his funeral.
Lewis Thomas
(grinning)
"We’ve got plenty of time, babe." 😏
Rony
"Yeah, we’re all ears." 😄
They laughed like it was just a game.
Kim Taehyung.
(softly, stunned)
"W-What… story? What are you talking about…?" 🥺
He floated closer, heart pounding even though he had no heartbeat anymore. His soul trembled.
Kim lily
(cold giggle echoing in the still air)
"Okay then. Listen closely..." 😈
She sat on the marble bench near the gravestone, legs
Kim Taehyung.
(watching in silence, his transparent form trembling)
😟 Why does this feel so heavy already?
Kim lily
"When Tae turned 8, his parents promised him they'd take him on a special trip. Just two days after his birthday, they kept that promise... but—"
(pauses, her smile sharpens)
"On the way, they got into a horrible accident. It happened deep in the forest—so isolated, no one noticed for hours."
Lewis Thomas
"What? Seriously?"
Rony
"How did they even survive that?"
Kim lily
"Well, after a long time, one car just happened to pass through that road. Lucky, huh? They found mom and dad barely breathing and rushed them to the hospital." 🏥
Kim Taehyung.
(softly, eyes wide)
"...I remember that... the trees... the blood..." 🥺
Kim lily
(mocking sigh)
"But when mom and dad finally woke up days later, the first thing they asked was... 'Where’s our son?'"
Kim lily
(grinning cruelly)
"And you know what the doctors said? 'There was no child at the site.' Just the two of them. No trace of little Tae." 😐
Lewis Thomas
"They didn't find him?"
Rony
"That’s insane... no wonder your parents were wrecked."
Kim lily
"Mom broke down instantly. Screamed, cried, begged. Dad too. But he stayed strong… or tried to. Because mom… she completely lost herself. She stopped eating. Stopped sleeping. She just sat in that dark room all day hugging Tae’s photos… crying."
Kim lily
"Six months. That’s how long she stayed locked in that hell. Even Namjoon oppa tried everything to make her smile again. But she didn’t care. She didn’t care about anything except Taehyung." 🥀
Lewis Thomas
"Then what happened next?" 😧
Rony
"Yeah… this story’s crazy…" 😦
Kim Taehyung.
(voice cracking even though no one can hear him)
"They… they suffered that much? Because of me?" 🥺💔
