When Fantasy Became Reality | BTS

Chapter 64

"The long night is following you as it flows
Time follows you and fades
Why are you getting farther away?
So far that I can't reach you?
Tell me why, you are so far away, why
Can't you see me in your eyes anymore?
Love is so painful
Goodbyes are even more painful
I can't go on if you are not here
Love me, love me
Come back to my arms

-Love Is Not Over, BTS

Taraa's POV

I woke up with a blinding pain in my head, and the sunlight, which was in its full glory despite the cold, fell directly on my eyes, contributing to my misery.

I closed my eyes reflexively and took a turn in the bed to save myself. I looked at the clock and it was already past the time by which I reached my office usually.

I didn't have the slightest energy, nor the desire, to go to work. So I grabbed my phone from the side-table and dropped a message to my manager, asking for a leave.

Being the reliable person he is, he confirmed it and suggested me to take rest. I yeeted my phone to a side.

I just stared at the ceiling, not quite knowing how to start my day.

Before, whenever I was in this house, Jungkook was always beside me, sleeping, when I woke up. Sometimes, when he was by any chance up before me, I would wake up to find his doe eyes staring at me lovingly. Sunshine would be falling on his face, making him look almost ethereal. I remembered how he would engulf me in his arms tightly, yet gently.

Thinking this, I wrapped the blanket tightly around myself, trying unsuccessfully to provide the warmth that his arms gave me.

I felt my chest contract painfully.

Where did it all go wrong?

Everything was just so perfect but then it all went...poof!

There was a soft knock on the door and I pretended to be asleep, not wanting to confront anyone just yet.

Thankfully, the person left.

I don't know how much time passed with me just lying down.

When the door was knocked again, I sat up in bed, my head still throbbing with the same intensity. This time, the person, or maybe some other, entered.

I stared as Taehyung headed towards me and sat at the foot of my bed.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

I just nodded my head.

"You should eat something. You have been sleeping for more than 16 hours." he pointed. I nodded.

"I will come out in a few minutes." I replied.

He nodded in understanding and left quietly.

I got up and freshened myself up, only physically. Mentally, I was beyond exhausted.

I peeked around the corner to find the living room only occupied by Taehyung and Jimin, and sighed in relief.
