chapter 56

Third person's POV.

Storm was anxious.

No shit.

Taehyung could really feel that raising anxiety bubbling out of her even though she tried hard to not.

By the way she fisted her hands, he just knew.

At first he noticed how she bounced her leg like once or twice occasionally when he pulled the brakes at signal. But to not make it more obvious and to ease herself down, Storm just kept her hands fisted on lap with eyes outside of window.

Parking the car at parking lot, he didn't wasted no time and got out only to see his wife not moving an inch. Letting out a sigh, he walked to her side and opened the door of car. Making her head to snap up to him.

"Come on." He nodded his head out, indicating her to walk out which earned a deep breath from her.

It have been a week since she visited this place last time. The Xeneon building. And it have being worst than anything from there if you ask her.

Storm was conscious about her surroundings than ever. Being much more on alert.

Let's just say even when she tries to get some sleep, every little voice makes her alert and jolt in place since the only paranoid thought which circulates in her head were "what if it's him?"

Not that her nightmare was being any better. Since she was been anxious and stressed, nightmares gets the best of her. And Storm never wanted to let Taehyung know about it while she tried to deal it on her own as she didn't wanted anyone to know.

Talking about Taehyung, unknowingly for these past days, Storm started find this odd comfort in him for some reason. As much as a cliche and odd it might sounds, the nights when he's asleep, she would took in three of his long slender fingers in her rough palm to hold them while she sleeps apart from one of those butcher knife along with kitchen once under her pillow. Just in case. For a sense of comfort just so she could use it if it's comes in handy.

That doesn't make her any less paranoid but it definitely keeps her a bit grounded. And knowing Taehyung was the one who was beside her sure does.

Did Taehyung minded it?

No. Not really. He just let her be since he was fine as long as she won't find that pleasure in hurting herself while he kept a close eye on her.

He was keeping tabs on all her activities though. Be it with her just sitting on bed all day doing nothing. Sure Storm was an grown up women who knows well on how to take care of herself.

But he don't trust her on her own. Not when she's not at her best mentally.

Even when he had to be out of town for work, Taehyung had made Suga to stay in with her knowing she wouldn't mind his presence. Well, he had to hear a good curse from Yoongi on how he was ruining his time and all but it was worth it.

After what she had done last time, he really don't trust her when she's having it worst.

But that doesn't mean it made her paranoid self feel any better.

When that night he was away for the work leaving Yoongi to watch over, Storm had locked herself in the room away from everything. Not wanting anyone's presence near her.

Taehyung was the only presence who she didn't minded. It's just his presence makes her calm. Those assuring and comforting words.

For whole night she never once closed her eyelid for sleep. Because she was afraid to sleep as she just stared at the door emotionaless as if waiting for someone to barge in just so she could throw a knife.
