save me (not)

If one asks Taehyung to tell the whole story, he will not be able to do so; he doesn’t remember the details. He only remembers ending up with Jeon Jeongguk curling up in his arms – perhaps it’s during the tribute training, perhaps it’s in the arena; he doesn’t remember – one night with no one but the two of them, Taehyung humming a familiar tune from his district.

“Save me, hyung.” He remembers Jeongguk whispers – or perhaps whimpers; he doesn’t remember – as he feels Jeongguk’s small frame shakes lightly in his hold, Jeongguk’s fingers curl on front of his shirt.

He remembers kissing the top of Jeongguk’s head, on his silky black crown, and feeling the boy goes lax in response.

Over the years, he remembers saving Jeongguk.
