Save Me From Myself ( A Taegyu ff )

13. While You Were Sleeping

The biting cold of night wind whipped past Taehyun's face in a hushed whisper as he raced through the overcast roads  and narrow alleys that spiraled like an endless maze . His amber eyes were blasted wide open as he scanned each and every corner looking for any signs of Beomgyu . In the end of a dead backstreet Taehyun finally came to a halt , his breath was ragged almost puncturing his lugs and his face was dripping from  sweat when he caught a glimpse of a slight shadow of someone in the darkness . 

  Taehyun's heart was pounding wildly as he sucked in a sharp breath and stepped into the darkness , the blonde squinted his eyes as he traced the outline of a body huddled beside the  brick wall , unmoving . When he stood just at a metre distance , he can finally make out the face of that person . It was Beomgyu . 

 His legs moved automatically as he staggered forward and dropped down upon the ground beside Beomgyu's body , fear enveloping his senses . Taehyun clasped Beomgyu's face in his hands and  shook it . No response . " Beomgyu ...hey , wake up . BEOMGYU !! " 

His body almost melted in intense relief when Beomgyu fluttered his eyelashes slowly , a frown settling on his face as he blinked his eyes open and stared at Taehyun in confusion with no words escaping his parted lips . 

 ' Jaesun ....' Taehyun's gaze darkened , anger boiled up inside him threatening to consume his entire body in its ravenous flames . This time he will not let that fucker get away with what he has done .  

In a flash , Taehyun flickered his eyes back to Beomgyu and his face immediately softened . Snaking his arms tightly around the other's  delicate waist , the blonde carried Beomgyu over his shoulder effortlessly . The night was  deadly silent when he walked back , the feather-light  weight on his shoulders  felt like something precious rather than a burden .

It was the throbbing pain in his head that assaulted him right from the moment Beomgyu blinked his heavy lidded eyes open . He was in his room nestled upon his bed , but he had no clue when that happened or how he got here . Heck ! he hardly remembered anything , his mind was clouded with thick fog of confusion . Everything was blurred . 

  Frowning , he moved his head around and his eyes trailed to the corner of his room where somebody was sleeping down on the floor leaning upon the door's frame . It was Taehyun . 

A sharp yelp of surprise escaped Beomgyu's mouth as he jerked alarmingly and tried raising up but his exhausted body groaned in protest . Beomgyu winced when he collided back on the his bed , his limbs giving up . 

Taehyun jolted awake and in instant he was there beside Beomgyu , cradling him gently in his arms as he pulled him up in a relaxed sitting position . " Stay still , your body is already running low on energy . Wait , I will be back . "

The blonde winded out of the room like a shadow leaving Beomgyu behind in a flabbergasted state . " What the hell is happening  ?  ' the raven haired wondered as he tried recollecting his memories to have gain some clue as to what exactly happened . 

At first , they came in hazy flashes . He was at school , then there was Jaesun and his friends surrounding them and just after that a image of them , all together , in some club popped up suddenly in his head . Then it was all vague and unclear . 

Beomgyu eyes widened , all the memories finally flooding back . He was with Jaesun at that shady club and he remembered being totally blissed out  and happy , happier than he has ever been . But now all that pleasure has evaporated away , making way for heaviness that is always swirling deep down in his chest .  

The raven haired was still preoccupied with his thoughts when Taehyun barged in ,  tray loaded with food swaying in his hands that he set down upon the small table cramped beside Beomgyu's bed .
