Be Okay [Oneshot]

Description

Summary: Kyungsoo comes home to find you crying and his comfort is able to bring you out the other side smiling.

Characters: Do Kyungsoo x reader

Genre: sad fluff? I dunno what to label this as.

A/N: So I wrote this because I had a moment where something affected me and I needed to get it out into the fiction universe to let it go and heal from it. I tried to keep the storyline pretty empty of the reasons behind some things because it’s personal, but I feel really good about sharing this piece all the same.

Foreword

He knew something was wrong as soon as he entered the apartment, your usual greeting smile was missing and you were surrounded by used tissues. Rushing over to your side, Kyungsoo sat down beside you on the sofa and opened his arms up. You were exhausted and leaned into him heavily.

“Are you okay?” he murmured, though it was evident you had been crying. Looking around, he couldn’t find any tell-tale signs to indicate if you had been sniffling over something that was good or bad. It made him anxious.

“I will be.”

“Want to talk about it?”

You lifted your head up from within his embrace and looked up at him, tears welling in your eyes again. It broke him to see you this distraught as your chin wobbled with your emotions. He would curse you if this was simply over a sad puppy video online after making him this worried. “I’m just learning of my place in this world.”

He frowned.

“I’ll be okay.”

“I’m not okay though,” he admitted, moving his hand from your back to brush your hair away from your face and then gently glided his thumb under your eyes to collect the spilling over emotions. “I’m not alright with seeing you like this. Baby, tell me.”

“You’re going to think I’m stupid,” you pre-warned him but Kyungsoo shook his head firmly to contradict your sentence. “I just feel insignificant towards my brother. He told Mum something and didn’t tell me again. I had to hear it from her. It’s not good news, but its big news that I feel should have come from his mouth to me and I would have easily supported him. I guess it just shows the lapse in our connection since everything changed.”

Your brother was someone you had been incredibly close with for most of your life, and Kyungsoo was aware that you missed him. He wasn’t sure when the exact breakdown of your relationship began as it was before you started dating him. But he knew you went through waves of despair over his actions, the both of you never fully reaching out to solve the issue out of your own pain of thinking the other didn’t care enough. Kyungsoo knew your brother loved you and you still thought of him highly. It was a shame that there was a constant barrier keeping you apart like this.

“So I contacted him whilst I was with Mum. He had told Mum she could tell me about it, and I decided despite the kick in the face it was to hear it from her, to be supportive and hold back from telling him how I felt. He’s dealing with enough, he didn’t need my emotions thrown in there too.”

“You did the right thing then. Look at my selfless baby. I’m proud of you.”

You nodded weakly. “He continued to message Mum so I knew he was around his phone, but he never replied to me. I don’t know, I just feel like an outsider in my own family and it hurts. I’ve tried reaching out so many times now, maybe I should stop.”

Kyungsoo could tell you were more so speaking to hear your own options and decide on your path forward. Your question wasn’t for him to answer. It wasn’t because you didn’t want to hear his thoughts on the matter, and you would have listened to everything he had to say. Sometimes, you just needed him to be at your side as you spoke out your feelings into existence so you could ease your heart. He could do that for you, his hand on your back rubbing comforting circles as you continued to process your situation.

After some time, you finally looked up at him, smiling properly for the first time in his company. “Have I told you how much I love you, Soo?”

“Not today,” he replied with a kiss on the top of your head. You buried into him and sighed in content.

“I’d be lost without you, you know.”

“Isn’t it good I don’t plan on going anywhere then.”

You giggled, planting soft kisses into his neck.

“Are you okay now?” he asked again, and you shifted back in the embrace to reach up for his lips. Your kiss was tender, and he could feel your love for him through it.

He knew you would be okay.
