______________________________________

"Thanks hyun! promise I'll make it up to you when you get back..."

"no problem hyung.."

Taehyun, 15 years old, he enter the car, insert keys and drive in the middle of the night.

Night lights, and the sound of the rain. Taehyun played his favorite music on the radio, starting his drive slow.

Sentimental, like a fresh teen who was firstly out for a bit of freedom. It doesn't last long, cause that night was cruel, and he won't let Taehyun enjoy it.

Together with the raindrops, he drove down the curve, a strange boy suddenly appear from his sight, crying....

Their eyes talks, in both pain, suffering and betrayal. Everything on that gaze, can felt very deep scrape on their hearts .

However, he swiftly avoid the stranger and at that moment, light struck into his eyes, darkness occupied and he drifted into a world he couldn't imagine he would have.

                          __________

"TAEHYUN!" Soobin shouted loudly as he woke up his brother, visibly sweating in a nightmare.

Taehyun shoot his eyes wide open, meeting the reality again. He sat up slowly and he look at the older male who wore a  worried face.

"Glad it's just nightmare, I thought you're back on the vegetative state again...."

Taehyun was still blank, he don't know how to speak, his memories are finally coming back to him, As well as the pain.

"Hyung...i remember some now..." Taehyun spoke and Soobin stop from panicking. Instead he gently pulled the younger into a hug, once again he ask for countless of sorry.

"I'm so sorry, if i—"

"It wasn't you hyung....." Taehyun said slowly removing Soobin from him. A bit confused, Soobin just express a questionable look in his face, "I was captured..."

"Captured!? How are you captured? I thought it was the truck all alone and me..."

"No...I met a pair of gleam eyes. And then i lost it and end up to the truck"

Taehyun can't exactly remember but he's certain that those eyes belongs to one person, Choi Beomgyu.

He stayed blank for a while, thinking about things in common. If that's really Beomgyu then it justify everything, that it wasn't just a mere coincidence. They are really bounded to each other.

Soobin lay his brother back to bed, " Hey, don't sweat it for now, just take time your memories will be back soon, as long you're drinking the medicines that your doctor give you?" The older raise a brow, making Taehyun nods and softly smile at his brother's overprotective traits.

But suddenly, when the younger was about to went back to sleep, Taehyun's  phone rang, continuously.

Soobin pick up the phone and just roll his eyes when he met the screen "Lover boy you got an important call"

Taehyun know it already, it's Beomgyu calling, but he wondered why does the older would call him in the middle of the night?

Green button was pressed, A very weak voice and heavy breathing was heard, nothing more or less. Just that, Taehyun spring himself up from bed, shoving his brother gently to grab the car keys.

" Taehyun! Are you crazy it's passed 1am !? Give me those keys you're not going" Soobin place himself on the door, but Taehyun is furious, he needs to go out and check on Beomgyu.

"Hyung, move out...." Taehyun said but his brother stood firmly on the door, blocking Taehyun's way out.

Taehyun sighed, slowly clenching his fist in annoyance. "You got me no choice hyung..." Taehyun grab his brother by the neck, snaking around its arm's to find the pressure spot. Once the spot is pressed, Soobin quickly passed out asleep.

The younger place his brother on the couch carefully before running towards the car. In full speed, Taehyun drove fast, beating streetlights per second.

Once he safely arrived in front of Beomgyu's unit, he entered the password and quickly search for Beomgyu. Until he saw the boy, crying beneath the blankets.

The fabric was remove, soft hiccups, swollen eyes and red cheeks. Taehyun find the scene very much heartbreaking, because if he remembered everything vividly, the last time he saw Beomgyu like this is on his coma dreams.

He didn't knew that seeing him in real life like this would make him go weak and also burst out in tears.

"Beomgyu hyung,..sh.." Taehyun scoot closer to the boy but the boy just cry on his knees, soaking the pants he was wearing.

"Shss it's okay, I'm here now" His left hands reach out to wrap on the older's shoulder, gently pulling Beomgyu sidewards, making him lean on Taehyun's chest.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Taehyun ask but Beomgyu shake his head as a no. Taehyun respect it and just wrapped Beomgyu in his loving and warm arms.

Soon, Beomgyu's breathing starts to calm down, as well his tears. But visibly, his face was drawn in too much pain nor stress.

"Need some water?" Beomgyu nodded, gently Taehyun grab Beomgyu's body in a surprise lift. His legs were wrapped on Taehyun's waist, and arms where placed gently on Taehyun's shoulder.

"Wait— why are you—" Beomgyu protest but the younger just continue to carry him and walk towards the kitchen.

Gently, Taehyun place Beomgyu on the kitchen counter, pulling out from the arms. He quickly grab a glass and gently pour a generous amount of water to offer.

Beomgyu just sit there blankly lost of words. He cried, He was manhandled and now he's palpitating due to that act.

"Here, drink" Taehyun said offering the glass of water. Beomgyu drank it really well, releasing a small burp in the end, making them chuckle a bit.

"You okay now?" The younger ask and Beomgyu just nod his head again, very tired of everything.

Taehyun was about to carry him again but Beomgyu stood on his feet and said "I can walk you know.."

"you don't seem like one earlier" Taehyun teased following him towards the bedroom.

"Okay shut up and just cuddle me"
