As Y/N and Taehyung began dating, their bond grew stronger. They worked together on various projects, with Taehyung often helping Y/N at the gallery. One sunny afternoon, Y/N decided to visit an old friend, Kate, who had recently moved back to the city.

Kate greeted Y/N warmly, but there was a subtle tension in the air. They reminisced about their college days, and as the conversation flowed, Kate mentioned Taehyung's visit to their country back then.

"You know, I had a huge crush on Taehyung when he visited," Kate said, her tone light but her eyes revealing something deeper.

Y/N smiled, unaware of the storm brewing. "He mentioned you guys had a great time."

Kate's smile tightened. "Yeah, we did. It was... unforgettable."

As days went by, Y/N noticed Kate's behavior becoming increasingly odd. She brushed it off, focusing on her work and her relationship with Taehyung. However, one evening, Y/N received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello?" she answered, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"Y/N, it's Kate. We need to talk. Meet me at the old park near the college."

Puzzled, Y/N agreed. She arrived at the park, but Kate was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain at the back of her head, and everything went black.

When Y/N woke up, she found herself in a dimly lit room, tied to a chair. Panic surged through her as memories of her previous ordeal flooded back. Just then, the door creaked open, and Kate stepped in.

"Kate, what are you doing?" Y/N's voice trembled.

Kate's face twisted with bitterness. "You took everything from me, Y/N. Taehyung was supposed to be mine. Now, you'll suffer just like I did when I lost him."

Tears streamed down Y/N's face as she realized the extent of Kate's vendetta. "Kate, this isn't the way to solve anything. Please, let me go."

But Kate's resolve was unyielding. "No, Y/N. You need to feel the pain I felt."

Kate motioned to two burly men who had been standing in the shadows. They stepped forward, their expressions cold and unfeeling. Y/N's heart pounded in her chest as fear took hold of her.

"Show her what it feels like to be helpless," Kate ordered, her voice laced with venom.

The men advanced on Y/N, and she tried to brace herself for what was to come. The first blow came hard and fast, a fist connecting with her jaw. Pain exploded in her head, and she tasted blood. The assault continued, each strike more brutal than the last. They kicked her, punched her, and slammed her against the wall. Her cries of pain filled the room, but there was no mercy in their eyes.

Kate watched, a cruel smile playing on her lips. "Do you feel it now, Y/N? The helplessness? The agony?"

Y/N's vision blurred with tears and pain. "Kate, please... stop," she begged, her voice weak and broken.

Kate stepped forward and slapped Y/N across the face. "Not until you've learned your lesson."

The goons continued their assault, their fists and boots mercilessly pounding Y/N's body. She felt bones crack, and the pain was unbearable. She could barely breathe, her chest constricted with agony. Darkness began to creep into the edges of her vision, and she knew she couldn't take much more.

"That's enough," Kate finally said, her voice cold and detached. "Leave her."

The men stepped back, and Y/N slumped to the floor, barely conscious. Her body was battered and broken, bloodied and bruised. She could hear Kate's footsteps as she approached.

"Remember this pain, Y/N," Kate hissed. "It's the price you pay for taking what was mine."

With that, Kate and her goons left the room, leaving Y/N to her fate. The pain was overwhelming, and she felt herself slipping into unconsciousness. As darkness enveloped her, a single thought remained: Taehyung. She had to hold on for him. 

Meanwhile, Taehyung, Namjoon, and Woohyun were frantic. Y/N had been missing for hours, and her phone was unreachable. They contacted the police, who immediately began a search operation.

Back in the room, Y/N's fear was palpable, but she tried to stay calm. She knew her friends would come for her. Hours passed, and just as despair threatened to consume her, the door burst open, and Taehyung, Namjoon, and Woohyun stormed in with the police.

"Y/N!" Taehyung cried, rushing to untie her.

Kate was apprehended, her face a mask of rage and regret. Y/N clung to Taehyung, her body trembling. "I was so scared, Tae."

"It's over now," Taehyung whispered, holding her tightly. "You're safe."

"Let's get you to a hospital" as he told Y/n those words she passed out from all the pain and bleeding. Namjoon and woohyun quickly rush her towards the ambulance , while Namjoon apprehends Kate with his team.

"You're under arrest for physical assault. You have the right to remain silent and have the right to a lawyer." He speaks sternly while he cuffs her hands behind her back.

Meanwhile, Tae and Woohyun call Y/n's parents and best friends and fill them in with all the details.

Y/N's parents, deeply shaken by the incident, decided it was time to move to Seoul to safeguard their daughter. With the support of Ashley and Grace, who provided emotional strength, Y/N began to heal.

As the days passed, Y/N and Taehyung's relationship grew even stronger. They knew that no matter what challenges came their way, they would face them together, surrounded by the love and support of their friends and family. The future was uncertain, but with Taehyung by her side, Y/N felt ready to embrace whatever came next. 

One afternoon, while Y/N and Taehyung were relaxing in the gallery, a familiar voice called out to them. They turned to see Ashley and Grace walking in, carrying a large basket of snacks and drinks.

"Surprise!" Ashley exclaimed. "We thought you could use a little break."

Y/N's face lit up with a smile. "You guys are the best. This is just what we needed."

They all sat down together, enjoying the snacks and sharing stories. As they laughed and reminisced, Y/N felt a deep sense of contentment. Her friends' support was unwavering, and their presence brought a warmth that chased away the lingering shadows of her ordeal.

After a few weeks of recovery, Taehyung suggested they visit a nearby park for a change of scenery. As they strolled through the park, hand in hand, the setting sun painted the sky with hues of orange and pink. The tranquillity of the moment was a stark contrast to the chaos they had recently endured.

"I've been thinking," Taehyung said softly, breaking the comfortable silence. "I want to do something special for you."

Y/N looked at him curiously. "What do you have in mind?"

Taehyung smiled, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "How about we take a trip? Just the two of us. Somewhere peaceful, where we can relax and make new memories."

Y/N's heart swelled with happiness. "That sounds perfect, Tae. I'd love that."

They began planning their trip, choosing a serene coastal town known for its beautiful beaches and charming atmosphere. As the days passed, their excitement grew, and soon they were packing their bags for the much-anticipated getaway.

The trip turned out to be everything they had hoped for and more. They spent their days exploring the town, enjoying the local cuisine, and lounging on the beach. The sound of the waves and the salty breeze brought a sense of peace that had been missing from their lives.

One evening, as they watched the sunset over the ocean, Taehyung turned to Y/N with a serious expression. "Y/N, I want you to know how much you mean to me. You've shown incredible strength and resilience, and I am so proud of you."

Y/N felt tears welling up in her eyes. "Tae, I couldn't have done it without you. You've been my rock through everything."

He took her hands in his, his gaze unwavering. "I love you, Y/N. More than anything."

"I love you too, Tae," she whispered, her voice filled with emotion.

They kissed, as the setting sun casting a golden glow around them. In that moment, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, their love and the support of their friends and family would carry them through. Together, they could face anything.

Returning from their trip, Y/N felt a renewed sense of purpose. She threw herself into her art, channelling her experiences and emotions into her work. Taehyung continued to be her biggest supporter, always by her side, encouraging and inspiring her.

The gallery flourished, and Y/N's paintings began to attract even more attention. Her story of survival and strength resonated with many, and she was invited to speak at various events, sharing her journey and inspiring others.

As Y/N stood before a crowd at one such event, she glanced at Taehyung, who was watching her with pride. She smiled, feeling the love and support that had carried her through the darkest times.

"Thank you," she began, her voice steady and strong. "Thank you for believing in me and for reminding me that no matter how difficult life gets, there is always hope. Together, we can overcome anything."

The audience erupted in applause, and Y/N felt a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. She had come a long way from the scared and uncertain person she once was. With the love of Taehyung, the unwavering support of her friends, and the strength she had discovered within herself, Y/N knew that her future was bright.

And as she looked at Taehyung, she knew that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, hand in hand, with love and determination guiding their way.

 I knew my heart was faint

I knew you were my hope

You're my remedy, You're my love

Like the golden rays above

The harrowing ordeal that Y/N faces at the hands of Kate and her accomplices is a stark reminder of the lengths to which jealousy and revenge can drive someone.
