20 ~ Insomnia

Taehyung

I immediately clutch her close with such an emergency as she's burning and she needs to be treated as soon as possible. Lifting her in my arms carefully, I head towards the house while a fine line of frown appears between my brows when I see her face twists.

Before even I knock on the door, the door of Mimi's house swings open and I see a kid around fifteen to sixteen years old, he seems to the male version of Mimi and it's Milan. Choi Milan. Mimi's younger brother. He gasps as his whiskey eyes land on his sister.

“Oh my God, Mi, please come inside. What happened to her suddenly? She was good, fit and fine when I talked to her earlier.” He asks while my eyes are on Mimi, still trying to figure out why she's twisting her face this way while burying her head on the crock of my neck in reverse, clutching my tee tightly. 

“Oh my God, what happened to my baby?” I see a tiny female figure approaching me while her face is worried and I can already take a guess that it's Mimi's mother.

"She fainted. High fever." I declare, “Did she soak in the rain? Oh no, she can't bear the rain droplets.” She whispers, “Will you mind telling me where is her room?" I ask her politely, 

"Please come with me." she says and I start to follow her, climbing upstairs while being careful with Mimi's senseless body, her mother opens the door and I step inside. Reaching the master bed, I place her down gently and she clutches my tee tighter while a deep frown appears between her brows. 

“No. Don't—don't kill me—” She breathes out and I can bet on my whole wealth that she's having a nightmare. And I wonder what she's seeing, what causes her to catch nightmares this way. “Mimi—” I hear her mother's voice while Mimi clutches my tee tighter than before. “I said—don't!” She screams out loud and I pull her close even though my clothes are not dry yet.

I hear her sobbing in my chest and I grab her tighter, “It's okay. I'm here.” I whisper into her ears, trying to soothe her pain as I'm not certainly aware of anything that's causing her to catch nightmares this way. “Oh my baby—” I hear Mimi's mother takes a seat on the bed as her shaky hand comes to rest against Mimi's head. 

“Do you know any incident what might cause her to catch nightmares?” I ask as my jaw clenches tightly. I wish I could kill anything around her that causing her to be in pain this way. She's literally shaking and crying a mess. Fuck. Does she always catch nightmares this way?

Who calms her down if she catches them in the middle of the night? How does she even manage to get rid of them? It feels like something inside my chest burns with an emergency to find out what happened to her that shook her up violently. 

“No.” Her mother shakes head side to side. “She never told me about any nightmares.” She adds and finally Mimi stops crying and she sleeping now. I place her head down to the bed and get up while still observing her. How she lays on her side and begins to search for something. Her mother places a pillow beside her and she hugs the pillow tightly, wrapping both of her arms and leg around the pillow as she makes herself into a fetus position. 

Cute.

“Thank you for bringing her.” Mimi's mother, Jinah says without looking at me as she's busy drying her daughter's hair and my eyes find her neck. The marks are visible and I quickly look away as I currently don't have any intention to swim back to last night.
