Chapter 26

Let's Play A Love Game

"Even abandoning me?" I asked Crystal out of simple curiosity. Would she be willing to abandoning me for Henry? I watched as she remained quiet. She opened to speak and instantly regretted asking her. I didn't want to know. At least for now I didn't want to know. I grabbed a bread from the bag and placed it in to keep her from talking.

"I was joking. Why are you so serious?" I asked trying to hide every emotion I was feeling. Crystal looked at me and smiled. She continued eating the bread as I sat there watching her. I looked at the clock and saw that it was late. "You should get some sleep." I said as Crystal nodded. I laid a blanket on the floor and placed a pillow on top of the blanket. Then I grabbed another blanket and laid on the floor. I stared up at the ceiling trying to sort things out when Crystal's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Taehyung are you asleep?" She asked and I debated whether answering or not. 

"No." I finally said. Before I would have been able to ignore Crystal, but lately that seemed more and more difficult.

"I'm sorry for making you upset earlier. I didn't mean to make you upset. I was worried." She said and I couldn't help but smile. This was the first time Crystal ever said she was worried about me. Of course actions spoke louder than words, but it was really nice to hear her say that.

"No, I'm sorry for raising my voice to you. I'm just not ready to talk about that sort of thing. My family isn't exactly the best to talk about." I said as there was silence. I turned my head to look up at Crystal's bed and saw no movement. Was she asleep? Figuring she was I stared at the ceiling again.

"Do you want to sleep with me?" I instantly turned my head towards Crystal's bed as she asked me in a soft voice. Almost like she was embarrassed. I grabbed my pillow and blanket. I stood up and saw how Crystal already made room for me. I smiled and laid on the right side of Crystal's bed. I placed my left arm under Crystal's head as I rested her left arm on my side. I looked at her as she avoided my gaze.

"I feel like you're giving me so many hints lately." I teased as Crystal's head jolted up. She looked at me and blushed.

"T-That's not it. I was just worried your back would be crooked from laying on the floor too much." She said defense. I smiled and pulled her closer to me. Crystal tensed up and then slowly relaxed. I smiled at how comfortable she now was with me.

"Then you should worry about me more often." I teased once again. Crystal pushed away slightly and looked at me.

"Leave." She said and I laughed at how cute she was. I pulled her into my arms and laughed. I looked down at Crystal to see her smiling. 

"If I could sleep like this everyday I'd wake up in a good mood every time." I said and Crystal giggled. I hugged her tightly and she hugged me back. 

"Why do you like me?" Crystal asked me as I backed away. She caught me completely off guard. I looked down at her as she looked up at me. I cleared my voice hoping it wouldn't come off shaken. 

"Well there's a lot of reasons. You're nice and caring. Even when you didn't like me you still defended me against Sungjong. Even when you refused to meet my friends you still gave them a chance. Not only that, but you take care of your family. You're selfless and always think about others. I like you because you're Crystal." I said as I looked down at Crystal, but as I saw her she had a serious expression. "What's wrong?" Crystal looked at me with sad eyes.

"When I was unconscious I saw my father. At first I didn't know where I was or how I had gotten there. All I wanted to do was get out of there. It was so dark and I was all alone. I hated being alone like that and then I saw a white light. I approached it slowly and saw my father there, but he told me it wasn't my time. At first I didn't know what he meant by that. All I wanted to do was stay by his side. I was afraid of losing him. For the first time I was so stubborn I didn't care about anything else. Then the light appeared again and I ran into it. As I was inside I was with my father. The more I was with him. The more I never wanted to leave his side. For the first time I was selfish and I didn't care. I didn't care about anyone else except my happiness. I forgot my mother and Kimmy's needs. As I was sent away from my father's side I stayed in the darkness for a while longer. That's when I realized I was in the boarder between life and death. The darkness was life and the light was death which I found ironic. But then I realized that even though life could be dark there was still hope in living. If I died I'd be happy for a moment but then I'd be upset about everyone I can't see anymore. So I woke up and it was all because of you Taehyung." Crystal said and I looked at her surprised.

"How?" I asked her as she smiled at me.

"Because the whole time I was alone and with my father I kept hearing a voice. I never knew whose voice it was, but my father said that it was someone who was waiting for me. When I woke up all I saw was you. That's when I realized that person was you. You were the reason I woke up again. Thank you Taehyung for giving me the strength to wake up again. Thank you." I stared at Crystal and just as I was about to say something she kissed my lips. I stared at her with wide eyes as she pulled away and hide her face in my chest. 

"Crystal." I said in a complete daze. I tried to pull away a bit to look at her but she held onto me tightly. I smiled and looked at the top of her head. "Why are you hiding?" I asked Crystal ina chuckle. She shook her head and I couldn't help but laugh. "How am I suppose to see the face of my favorite person in the world?" Crystal slowly lifted her head to look at me.

"I l-like you, Taehyung." I stared at Crystal for a long time. Before hugging her tightly into my arms. 

"Besides you waking up again. This is the best gift you've ever given me." I said Before I kissed her lips and she kissed me back. We pulled away and I could see a light tint of pink on her cheeks. I touched her cheek softly as she smiled at me. I'm never going to let anything happen to Crystal ever again. From now on I'll protect Crystal from any pain or danger.
