Love Like This ( Taegi x Yoonmin)

Chapter 18(ii) Bad Liar[1]

2027- Present day

Taehyung fluttered open his eyes slowly. He felt a faint ache spreading through the back of his neck. He left a pained sigh. He has slept for few hours on a pretty uncomfortable angle. He massaged the sore area of his neck and Let out a small sigh.

His sleepy eyes Landed on the petite figure which is laying on the bed beside him. The small man is still sleeping peacefully. His cheeks seem puffy and red from last night break down. Taehyung suddenly felt his heartbreaking for the thousandth time, as he remembered how hard the tears fell down along his angelic pale cheeks hours ago.

Taehyung raised his palm to the sleeping boy's face and gently caressed the swollen cheeks. Slowly Humming a comforting tune, hoping it will give more peace to the elder.

When Taehyung caught Yoongi last night at the time elder lost his consciousness, he immediately brought him to the elder's own apartment which he is sharing with Namjoon.

He laid the unconscious man on his bed and sat down next to him. Even though he was lost in a deep wave of unconsciousness, the elder's eyes haven't stop pouring crystals on his face. Taehyung caught the stray tear tracks by his thumbs, just like he did 2 years ago when the pale-skinned boy was fighting with death and life.

"When are we going to see each other while you are perfectly fine and conscious Hyung? Is it your plan to always fall into my arms when you are tired of keeping your eyes open for this cruel world hmm?"

Taehyung muttered quietly, saddening at the thought of their unique encounters that has been happening for a decade; wondering if this is really something planned by the universe.

Of course, it sounds illogical When he dedicated most of his past 2 years to take care of the well being of Min Yoongi... Since the elder got his consciousness back, after agonizing 6 months of coma, Taehyung didn't spend a day without looking after the elder's well being.

There wasn't a day he hasn't feel like to hug the elder into His chest and make his all pain go away. There wasn't a day that he didn't want to hide the elder's precious existence from this world.

He can't believe he is attached to one patient like this. two years ago, Yoongi's uncle, Dr Heo's request sounds so unfair and selfish to him. He wouldn't even dream to dedicate his time and energy to solely one person, but now, he can't make himself think of a life he doesn't live for Yoongi.

Because this is the only person who has given him a reason to believe in a future without his mother by his side. He is the only one who gave Taehyung hope to trust himself when he was at his lowest point...

2016 Winter

When Taehyung opened his eyes, he was no longer in the cold backyard of his home. He was comfortably nuzzled into the soft bedsheets of his king-size bed. Despite the warmth aura radiating from his room, he suddenly started to miss the embrace he was in hours ago. He terribly yearned for the coffee and honeysuckle scent he has breathed in that pretty boy's embrace.

Everything felt surreal when he woke up. There is no trace of the elder in his room. Taehyung started to think he has dreamed about the strange encounter with the pale boy. When he was busy with countless thoughts about the stranger he met or he thinks he met, the door of his bedroom was opened. He turned his head to check who entered his room and see his brother, Seokjin standing there.

A tiny whisper of "Hyung" was all he said and the elder was already by his side. Seokjin hugged Taehyung tightly, pressing his dongsaeng to his chest.

"I'm sorry hyung... I'm so so sorry for pushing you away and hurting you" Taehyung found himself tearing up again.
