Never Let you go
Under the Bridges of ParisSeokjin's POV:
I shifted uncomfortably under the covers on my bed. I sat up on my bed to pull out drawer to check my phone.
There were thirteen texts and seven missed calls from Taehyungie. I sighed as I put my hand on head to check my body temperature. The temperature didn't seem abnormal or something but I still feel peachy.
I decided to call Taehyung instead of replying to all of his texts. Replying to texts first would be more appropriate to do since Taehyung had finals today.
He wouldn't be able to receive his cellphone during the exam but at least he'll get to see that I'm now well enough to call him.
Taehyung picks up the phone at the first ring.
"Hey, Taehyung-ah." I cooed. I miss him so much even when it has been less than twenty four hours since I talked with him.
"Jin hyung, how are you feeling now? Has the temperature dropped down yet?" Taehyung said with concern in his voice. I could almost see him pressing his lips into a thin line as he does when he gets anxious.
"Good, I think the fever has gone down." I said.
"Thank Heavens. Did you take the medicine in morning?" Taehyung asked after sighing in relief.
"Of course,baby. Don't worry so much about me." I chuckled.
"That's not even possible. I'm always worrying about you. " Taehyung sighed again.
"I am gonna be okay baby. Besides there's Jaehwan, he will check up on me from time to time."
"Jaehwan hyung seems nice." Taehyung said after a while. He sounded a bit broken while replying. I couldn't exactly point out what, but he must be bothered by something.
When the only way to understand how Taehyung might be feeling is just by hearing that low husky voice, you learn to decipher the little ups and downs of his voice.
"Only when I get sick, other times he's the traditional annoyingly cool best friend who is stealing my food."
"Enough talking about me. What are you doing right now?" I asked.
"I'm heading out of the uni campus, my exams just finished ten minutes ago."
" How did they go?"
"I did fine, Jinnie hyung. But I don't even know if I want to exactly ace them or not."
"Why is that Taehyungie?"
"Because if I absolutely ace everything, I am gonna have to stay here for another four months." Taehyung says in a annoyed voice. I fidgeted with the hem of my blanket before answering him.
"Taehyungie, it's okay." I tried to assure him. If Kim Taehyung gets something in his head, he won't let the thing go that easy. Especially when comes to not being able to take care of me.
"No hyung, it's definitely not okay." Taehyung replied with a certain firmness in his voice.
"But Tae, it's gonna be fine. We already passed five months into our long distance relationship, I am sure we will survive another five months." I tried to assure him again but feel my mouth trembling at the corners.
"It's just not fair to you. Not to us." Taehyung's breath hitched.
"We are gonna be fine, Taehyung-ah. Besides there's the Japan trip from Drama club. Being the President of club, I will have to go to the trip anyways." I felt blood rushing to my face as I say these words under one breath.
"So we wouldn't get to meet each other even if you came to South Korea exactly after one month. It's your chance of a lifetime Taehyung-ah."
I ran a hand through my hair in frustration, it's hard to get Taehyung to accept the fact when he gets so stubborn over things like this.
Taehyung bowed his head down, buring his face in his hands and rubbing his eyes.
"I know."
"Taehyung-ah, baby please look at me. Is something wrong love?"
Taehyung slowly tilted his head and looked at the screen with glassy eyes. He looked so broken, as if everything was falling apart in his life and he can't do anything but stare at it helplessly.
"I - everything feels wrong hyung, I am getting those nightmares again." Taehyung wiped away a tear streaming down his cheek.
"I used get those nightmares because I was scared that everyone is gonna leave me. I have got left alone many times in my life that though I love interacting with everyone, I only trust a few." Taehyung stopped to take a deep breath as he started talking again.
"Whenever I really need people to be there for me, everyone just leaves me. Just because they don't need me anymore, sure I was fun to hang out with but I am not important enough to stay in my friends life."
"And do you know what scares me the most? The fact that sometimes I want you to leave me because I can't take care of you when you need me. And it just hurts so much..." I felt my heart drop at his words as Taehyung puts both of his hands on his head.
"I wanna hold your hands, I want to make your pain go away, kiss your smile and wake up to -" Taehyung's voice broke while talking. I sat up straight on my bed and touched the screen with my forehead.
"Taehyung-ah, hey I won't leave you. Ever. I will love you as long as I live. And I fell in love with you when we were together, I love you more after the time we spent apart.
Maybe our love is unique and different but that's all I ever wanted, ever needed. I just want to be with you. And I will never let you go." I whispered to him as Taehyung also touched the screen with his forehead.
Taehyung smiled at my words and wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeves. "Never?"
"Never." I replied.
"And whenever you feel far away from me, just look at the sky. We are always looking up to the same sky, only half a world away." Taehyung's smile breaks into a grin.
"I can't believe you sound like a line of Dear John, that's like the saddest love story in the world! " Taehyung starts laughing.
"Do I ? Well, the world needed a sad love story to read because if they ever read ours, it will give everyone the worst case of cavity." We both chuckled.
"Ours will be the sweetest, cheesiest and most beautiful one ever. And that's a promise." Taehyung started kissing the screen excessively as I laughed in between the kisses.
