"I love you Nala"
"How can you say that Taehyung? After everything you've done?", she sobbed, failing to hide the pain.
"You don't understand", he lowered his gaze, knowing that he had lost her.
"No, I perfectly understand. You love me like you love...
I clicked the door bell, when I saw Daeshim, with big cuts on his arm, and small cuts close to his neck. His eyes were teary, and almost fully red. He had bruises over his face and body. I ran into his house and started attacking him with questions.
--~°~--
Daeshim shouted: "Nala! Will you stop asking me things and let me talk please?" "Y- yes"
"I was jus-" and he got interrupted again
"BUT HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT DEAD YET LOOK AT THOSE CUTS LET'S GO TO THE HOSPITAL"
"NALA! I won't tell you a single thing if you don't stop with that." "Okay I promise this time. Tell me what happened Dae"
"Before I say anything, I need you to believe me every single word, 'cause all of this...just isn't natural", her best friend nodded in response.
"I wanted to go outside to take a small walk because I needed fresh air. Suddenly I started hearing weird noises, like you know that noise that bird wings make when they fly? That's why I ignored it at first, I thought it was just a bird or something. But then I got that strange feeling in my stomach, like wanting to throw up but just couldn't. Then I saw big, black silhouette, and I couldn't tell what it really was, 'cause it disappeared in a second. That's when I texted you, and started to ran off home. But then I felt something on my wrist, that pulled me back in the darkness, and when I managed to turn around, there was a man in some unnatural condition, holding me. Then he told me some weird things Nala, like staying away from 'her' or whatever. The last thing I remember is that I was at my house door, with cuts on my skin. They're not deep and that's why I decided I won't go to the hospital."
"You sure you weren't just sleep walking?"
"Nala I'm not dumb and besides my imagination is not THAT crazy. Also, I wouldn't cut myself to this point."
"Okay okay okay. I trust you. But you have to tell me more about that so called unnatural being. Like how did he look like and stuff"
"I have no idea. It was dark, but I believe that even if it wasn't, I wouldn't know. I can't even complete his silhouette in my mind. I have no idea what's going on."
"Can you at least remember what exactly he has told you?"
"Something unclear, like staying away from 'her'. He also said something afterwards but that's when my memory started to go off completely."
"It's alright. You gotta know that I'm here, by your side, no matter what. Let me just call my parents and then we'll bandage those cuts, okay?"
Daeshim nodded in response, and as he was living alone, he had no one to stay with him, except her. That's why she went to call her parents, to tell them that she was staying at his place tonight. She explained them the situation without telling them what actually happened, and got back to the living room to fix her best friend.
"I'm back" Nala said while entering the same room Daeshim was in.
"Your parents have nothing against you staying, right?"
"Of course not, don't worry about that.", she comforted him while applying the medicine on his wounds.
"I'm so sorry Dae."
"For what pretty?"
"I couldn't protect you. I wasn't there when you needed me. What if something worse hap-"
Her words were cut when Daeshim slammed his lips on hers. At first she was surprised, and then she kissed him back.
Nala broke the kiss and moved away from him.
"What's wrong?" Daeshim asked, confused.
"I- I'm sorry. But this is not okay...I- You were always a friend to me. And now I feel that way as well.I- I don't want to give you hope where it doesn't exist. I'm so sorry Dae.."
"It's okay Nala.. I should've consider your feelings as well.. B- but I just can't resist you anymore"
"Anymore? How long are you resisting?"
"More than a year. But I never did anything cause I didn't want to ruin our friendship"
"And now you want?"
"Obviously. But so bad that I can't. Look, we will be whatever you want us to be, and we can stay friends if that's okay with you, but don't expect me to look at you in a friendly way. You have too much to offer for me to look at you in friendly way."
"Don't go any further Daeshim. We're staying friends, but don't make it awkward. You're the only real person in my life right now and I don't want to lose you. The YOU I know."
"You won't. I promised to be by your side whatever happens. I stick to that."
"Thank you. We should sleep now."
"Together?" Daeshim came back at her.
"DON'T MAKE IT AWKWARD I SAID"
"Sorry"
They lay down in separate rooms, but they both couldn't sleep. Nala couldn't help but think about what just happened. Daeshim had the looks, that's a fact. Black eyes, fully lips, sharp jaw-line that you could literally use for cutting your bread in slices, and hot body structure. No one can resist those abs, but she knew she never wanted him that way. It was better like that.
Meanwhile, Daeshim was thinking about his first time being rejected. That was attacking his ego, but he didn't mind anymore. He really fell in love with Nala. Her beautiful curls, greenish eyes with stare that could kill, adorable nose and cheeks, and God.
Her curves.
He loved every single inch of her, and now that he couldn't have it all, destroyed him mentally. But he decided to remain calm, for sake of their friendship. Losing her completely would kill him. He couldn't afford that to himself.
--~°~--
The sun started to shine through the window curtains, when Nala realised that her bed isn't her bed.
Then she remembered that she stayed at Daeshim, and ran immediately to his room, to see if he was doing alright. But just when she was about to knock, Daeshim, with wearing only shorts, got out of his room.
"Bitch if you thought that those abs will make my virginity go boom boom...you were absolutely right."
Daeshim chuckled, "What about 'i dOn'T wAnT tO giVe yOu hOpE wHeRe iT dOeSn'T eXiSt' thing from last night huh?"
"Hun keep dreaming.", she laughed
"At least you don't have to worry about that" Daeshim teased.
It was time for her to go to school. She feels bad for leaving Daeshim, but he didn't allow her to skip her studies because of him. She went home to get her stuff, and she headed off to the prison. I mean public institution people learn stuff at.
