Taehyung's POV :

" I don't care . " With that she forcefully jerked my hand & started walking away . I stood there looking at her back .

" Why is she so rude ? " I asked myself staring at the bags of food & meds which I bought for her .

I didn't feel like going home so I started walking towards my special space.  It's in the middle of the woods which is nearby . It's so calm & no one visits it . No one else except me knows/ comes here . I didn't even tell Jimin about it . I love this place & I invented it after Eomma's death . At that time whenever Appa used to beat me or say hurt full things to me I used to come here . It became a habit & whenever I feel sad , hurt or need sometime alone , I come here . It's about a month I came here last .

I started walking taking slow steps & rethinking about today's events . Y/N's eyes kept flashing in my mind . I could clearly see pain in them . She wasn't ok . Something was seriously messed up . There must be some reason behind her being so rude . I was lost in my thoughts but when I reached near I heard someone talking . I got near & now I could see someone sitting on the big stone , the exact place where I used to sit ! I walked towards it but halted when I realized the person was none Other than Y/N ! Then I heard her say ,

" Why did he wanted to bring me with him ? It can't be only to apologize . "

So she was also thinking about me & the previous events . She was right though . I lied . I didn't bought these as an apology but because When I saw her injured hand & it's messy state and her eyes which were badly failing to hide the pain & the fact that she had been crying for long , I felt some sort of pain in my own heart . I wanted to treat her & hug her tightly while  saying soothing words . But knowing her I didn't dared to do or tell her these things .

" Because I wanted to treat your wound . "
Without realization these words left my mouth . Immediately the turned around & saw me . So I decided to walk to her .

Your POV :

" Because I wanted to treat your wound . "

I heard the very familiar deep voice from behind . I turned around & saw Taehyung standing there . His clothes & hair messy . He came where I was sitting & stand there awkwardly  as if he wanted to say something but couldn't . He was hesitant .

For some reason I felt like know what he was trying to tell me & why he wasn't telling me .

" Um... You can sit here . I won't get mad . " I said in a soft voice . His face lit up a bit & he sat beside me . Placing the bags on his other side . I was shocked to see he was still carrying them .

Wait ! How did he knew I was there ? Did he followed me ?! I thought  . But before I could ask anything , he said ,

" Ani . I didn't followed you . I-I promise I didn't . " He said shaking his head left to right along with both of his palms .

I guess I thought out loud .

" Cute ." The word almost left my mouth but I didn't let it . Instead a chuckle left my mouth .

" You're scared of me right ? " I asked him directly.

He looked like he was cought off gourd .
" I ...um...maybeee..." He trailed off indicating he was indeed scared of me .

" Please don't be . " I said somehow desperate .

" Huh ? "

" Sorry , if I've made you scared of me also or I've hurt you . I know my actions are rude & maybe wrong also . " I paused for a while & then again started , " Please stay away from me . I don't want you to be get hurt anymore . I know I've hurt you a lot when all you did was just tried to help me ." I almost pleaded him .

In reply he just kept silent staring at the sky which was full of stars . Hearing no reply I also copied his act .

After a while I heard some shuffling noise from his side . I turned & saw him take something out of those bags . Then he stood up & came in front of me .

The next thing be did made me feel different kind of emotions all together .

He kneeled down in front of me taking my injured hand . Caressing the bandaged area with his thumb lightly he said ,
" What if I want to stay close to you & get hurt ? "

I didn't know what to say so I kept mum .

He slowly & carefully started undoing my bandage .

" I know you're suffering from something bad . Maybe worst . maybe that thing making you act rude . I don't know what's the problem but the thing I know is your not who you & others are thinking now . You're not rude or cold or heartless.  That's just your shield . Your outer layer . Inside this cold rude Heartless Girl there is a sweet & caring Y/N . You just need to let her out . "

He said as he took out the whole bandage & gasped seeing my badly bruised knuckles .

" What the hell ? Did you do this to yourself ?! " He asked yelling . And I saw anger & hurt in him .

I just nodded . I was still processing his earlier words .

He stared at my knuckles then said ,
" Are you crazy ? Why did you hurt yourself like this ? .... " He kept scolding me . Care & love was the words that could describe the his emotions & reason reason of his yelling . But why ? Why did he cared for me ? But instead of these things , the thing made me shocked was , why didn't I pulled my hand away & walked out ? Why am I listening him nagging about me hurting myself ?

" Are you even listening to me , Y/N ? " He asked almost like a dad or angry teacher .

" Why are you caring for me when I hurt you ? After all the rude & cold acts I did , why aren't you just ignoring me like others ? " I asked the thing that was bugging me the most .

" Because I like you . "
