Taehyung's POV

Usually I was a person to keep things to myself. Ever since seventeen I couldn't quite bring myself to open up or wholly trust a person. My father would mock me for loosening up around too many people while my sister would get me to trust her and say at least something if not everything. That didn't budge me to slip and spill . The people whom I had around myself as friends, I could barely rely on them because there was a constant voice in my head that would warn me to beware. And if things went to shit afterwards, at least I didn't have things to regret. Hence I had almost forgotten how it felt to share a half of my burden with someone. That was until today where I could finally realise what peace it brings.

After the conversation with Y/n even though I had much left to be spoken , I felt as if a huge burden was lifted from my chest . I partly felt guilty about it . Sharing my thoughts with others almost felt imposing. But she had her own way to assure me that it was alright and my heart lulled into her way of assurance, slipping into the pit of trust . I trusted her . I was well aware of not only that but the numerous feelings in my heart , held for her .

God knows how long I rested in her presence with her fingers gently tracing the sides of my face and helping me calm down . And when I finally did so , we sat together side by side , wordlessly but just breathing in each other's presence. The calm remained embracing us for quite some time until her phone buzzed with texts . It looked urgent enough for her to text back immediately . “ Oh! Look at the time. It's almost past four. I should be leaving now ."

The one word was enough to have me on my feet following her actions, while my mind cartwheeled , trying its best to come up with something. Something which could make her stay a little longer. Just a bit more .

“ It's already past lunch time but would you like to eat something before you leave ? " I didn't even realise how desperate I must have sounded to have Y/n looking at me with her wide set of brown eyes . But when I did realise, the offer was already out loud and there was no stepping back. " You shouldn't be skipping meals right now .” I decided to add on , trying to make a point.
