I opened my mouth once finishing the letter, feeling my tears roll down my cheeks. It all made sense now, finally. So much relief filled my entire being, but a desire to kiss his neck was even bigger than that relief. I turned over the letter and saw a quick message, something he always did on notes.
I know you hate clichès, but P.s. sorry that I threw up when we first hugged.
I giggled out loud, a endearing smile appearing across my face. I shook my head and folded the paper back as I kissed it. I put it inside of my pocket and quickly got out of the car. I began running towards the city as fast as I could. Even a feeling of hope filled my emotional state that brought back a memory of a humorous Taehyung, who wasn't always like this.
I ignored the way my almost bare legs felt cold as wind brushed against them whilst I was running. I thought quickly about where he would be as I decided to get towards the streets we walked on, knowing he loved hanging around there. I passed the train tracks and took a right turn as I ran through the dark alley. I finally got onto the streets as I breathed heavily, looking left to right. I ran down the street to the lamp post that was near one of the glass newsstands.
I noticed his figure, all scrunched down as he was drawing with graffiti. A sudden feeling of fear and panic washed over me, scared he'd get into trouble. I ran towards him as his focused face turned to me once he heard my hurried steps. "Mouse, what are you doing? You're going to get in trouble." I spoke as my eyebrows furrowed in worry. "It's safe here, no one has even walked here tonight but you and me." He spoke so surely of himself, continuing to draw.
I noticed he cooled down, making me observe his focused face. I stared at him like I wanted to sink in every part of him and his movements. In silence I sat down as he stood in front of me, still doing his graffiti. He noticed I had been staring at him, so he furrowed his eyebrows slightly out of confusion. "What?" He spoke, managing to confusedly giggle a little bit. "Mouse. I-I read your letter." I managed to spit out, feeling my heart beat violently speeding up. The sound of spraying stopped once he heard me finish my sentence. He looked right through me, keeping the silence between us for a while until he began talking.
"Did you read all of them?" He questioned, his hand still raised up in the air, pointing to the stained window. "Does it even matter?" I spoke in a quite discouraging tone, still keeping my admiration of him inside my eyes. He looked down as he gave up on his point, the circumstances making him agree to my point. "What did you think of it?" He shyly asked as he avoided my eyes. "I think it's beautiful, Taehyung. I love knowing I'm your main daisy." I spoke as I felt my eyes water out of the warm feeling of happiness. He smiled as he stared at me. "Of course you are." He spoke.
The beauty of the moment. In that smile I saw hope. I saw a child version of Taehyung inside of my mind as I stared into his eyes that smiled in a way too. In that brief second both of us had hope. Both of us were filled with it. Both of us recognized that same moment that progressed to love once again. A love that wasn't burdened by putting on blames and proving a point. In that moment we didn't need a field of daisies nor an expensive meal Taehyung stressed about getting me. In that second both of us realised why we were doing this. Regardless of our fights, at the end of the day we were free. Freedom, a lovely thing we possessed.
"Can we go back now before we get in trouble?" I giggled as he sprayed around a few more times. "I would love that." He smiled as he stroked my cheek, making me instantly lean into his touch.
Happiness. His touch was so relaxing, completely brave and casual opposite his tensed ones. The beautiful moment lasted for a while. But then again, why is it that the happiest of moments usher in sudden fear?
Taehyung immediately flinched upon flashlights attacking our sights. I never felt so scared in my entire life and by the look on Taehyung's face, I assumed he felt that way too.
