A/N: I love this song ;)

A/N POV~

They were seated beside each other. Emma was looking down at her lap and Taehyung was waiting for his cousin to open up.

"Take your time." He said even if he was low-key impatient. He was secretly moving his toes in his shoes. 

Hearing this she sighed and looked at Taehyung. He smiled at her to show that she can trust him and open up to him because he can help her. 

He's a psychiatrist after all. Emma thought.

Looking back down at her lap, she closed her eyes and started.

"I...I always felt like people hid things from me. Like....they keep things from me. Like...everyone knows something...but...but I don't. It makes me feel like I'm not worth telling a secret to....or...or I'm not worth telling anything at all to." She got all choked up when she said that. She started tearing up. She hated it when she cries. So when she felt her cheeks wet, she harshly wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She groaned and looked up at Taehyung and continued.

"It makes me doubt my relationship with them. I always keep quiet about it and don't tell them how I feel. Because I don't want them to think pathetic of me. I don't want them to think of me as a weak girl who has small problems like this going through her mind. At this point, I'm not sure if they love me...." She was sobbing now. The Emma whom he thought was a strong girl who never cries was now in front of him crying hard. She always had a smile on her face. But now she looked so vulnerable to him. He wanted to help her especially because he knows what she had to go through in her past. 

He didn't want to ask her who made her feel this way, because that would result in her hating those people even more. And we wouldn't want that.

She was sobbing like she wasn't able to stop, so Taehyung scooted closer and hugged her. Without arguing she let him and sobbed in her cousin's embrace. Her shoulders shaking as she did. Taehyung slowly rubbed her back to calm her down. 

Hugging her tighter he said "It would be a lie if I said that you didn't go through so much. Because for a seventeen-year-old you did go through things enough for you to feel like this." For some unknown reason, Emma felt good hearing that. Maybe because he understood her. She was tired. She never cried so much. He rest his head on hers and said.

"There is only one solution to this. Talk to them. Ask them what they're hiding from you. Don't let their thoughts stop you from it. If they're saying anything that makes you angry or emotional, don't mind them. Speak up. Things will get better." He said earning a nod from her which made him smile at his cousin's cuteness.

After some time, she stopped crying and calmed down a bit. Her eyes felt heavy because of crying so much. Taehyung noticed the stillness in her and slowly pulled back to find her sleeping peacefully. He was amazed thinking of how this girl could sleep in the middle of the park. He panicked thinking of how they were gonna go home. But when he heard a shaky breath from her, probably because of crying so much, his heart melted, and decided to wake her up after some time. The girl who walked around comparing the size of her and his biceps was now sleeping like a baby. He chuckled before resting his head back on hers.

When the sky became a shade of purple, Taehyung gently shook Emma to wake her up.

"Hey Emma, we should take you home...come on wake up." Still feeling sleepy, she opened her eyes to the call and sat up rubbing her eyes and yawning. To brighten the mood Taehyung scrunched his nose and said.

"Your breath stinks." He pinched his nose with his forefinger and thumb. She rolled her eyes and looked away. She brought her hand over her mouth and blew out air to see if he was right. Well, he was wrong. She only slept for a few minutes. She then glared at him.
