The room is dark and there is only minimal light filtering in. The orange curtains are drawn and the ceiling fan is off, the room eerily silent.

Her body is curled up on the bed, bones jutting out painfully, extreme angles forming when she bends. Her joints creak as she shifts, making her groan. She can hardly wake up in the mornings and she has been having more migraines than usual. The second her eyes flutter open, the pain invades her head, the nagging ache constantly there. That's why most of the time, she just sleeps.

Taeyeon watches the blonde girl shift in bed. Taeyeon is on the floor, hugging her knees to herself, silently watching the girl. She steels herself for the hoarse whispers of the girl but nothing is heard and she relaxes instantly, shoulders drooping down, hands unclenching. The girl doesn't stir awake and Taeyeon stands, moving towards the girl.

She sits on the bed, the bed sinking a little as she runs a hand through the girl's blonde hair. Her hair is soft and silky. Taeyeon had always loved her hair. Her eyes shift to the girl's face and she bites her inner lip to keep from crying out. The girl's cheekbones are prominent and her face has a sharp v-line. Her jawline is obvious and why does she look so small in Taeyeon's eyes?

Taeyeon tugs a strand of hair behind the girl's ear. The small action causes the girl to flutter her eyelids a little.

She is awake.

But I didn't think the title fit so now (Don't) Forgive Me is a chaptered fic and this is a one-shot.) Thanks to Taengsic for making a comeback.
