Yours Truly

52: Tired of running away now

LiLi
What?!?!?
Aigoo
Our Maknae grew up too early
We need to plan the wedding
We don't have time!
AHAHUWKSBAHOAL!?!?

Nini
The question here should be, why on Earth was Kim Taehyung stabbed? Who did it? Why didn't his Hyungs or we know about it earlier?
Lili, we should first check on the groom, rather than planning her marriage.

Lili
Unnie, didn't you hear her?
Taehyung Oppa is fine now.

Jisoo quietly scrolled through the thread. Her heart slowing down everytime she scrolled upto the texts sent by Rosé. She slowly typed,

ChiChu
Let's not text here. Let's start another group chat.

Sierra felt as if her happiness was getting dragged back into the dark blackhole of grief and misery. Her smile sunk as if the sand falling out of a broken hourglass. She gulped, trying not to cry. She can't mourn forever. So what she lost a part of her heart? The world is too cruel. It goes on everyday.

Ra
Okay, Unnie.
If you say so.

Her eyes and fingers focused on the cellphone. Tapping on the KakaoTalk window. Her feet taking her towards the hospital as her mind thought a name for the group her fingers were making. 4 members. 4 people. Didn't the powerpuff girls have a fourth member? Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup and Bliss? Yeah... The poerpuff girls would go well. Four girls fueled by something an angel loved.

Ra created a new group
Ra added Nini
Ra added ChiChu
Ra added LiLi
Ra named the group PowerPuff Girls

Ra
I call dibs on Bliss.
And Unnie, Taehyung is out of danger. Don't worry.

Lili
Guys, help me out then.
Bubbles or buttercup?

Nini
Buttercup.
You are the only one that can get away with being called "OPPA".

Ra
Kekekeke
Spot on, Unnie.
Btw, you'd be a perfect Blossom
What do you think, guys?

Lili
Agreed.
Gurl's fiesty.
Jisoo-nnie?

Jisoo gulped. The chat head reflected on her eyes. She has to. They have to. They shall forever love her existence. But even she'd want them to move on with life.

Chichu
A 100 percent.
I think I'll be Bubbles.

Nini
Ofcourse Unnie. You are the perfect bubbles. Our 4D Unnie.

Lili
Guys
I didn't want to kill the mood. But what would Rosie be.
If she was here.

Sierra felt her heart stop for a minute. Why, Lalisa? Why? Why couldn't you keep Rosé out of the topic? But again, this is how it's gonna be from now on. Rosé would be a memory. And memories are remembered often. And memories are mentioned every now and then. Maybe that's the only right thing to do. To keep the love for the angel unchanging. Forever.

Ra
Sugar, spice and everything nice.
And
Chemical X
And
Chemical W
The things that created the powerpuff girls.

Sierra was patient when it came to love. Sierra was patient when it came to Kim Taehyung. She sat there, still. Not daring to move. Just to catch a glimpse of him. But alas, visiting hour was over.
The contrast between the white walls and floors with the midnight souring on the busy Seoul outside was beautiful. Her heartbeats echoing back to her ears. She leaned her head on the hard wall. Eyes shut close. How many hours till morning? 5? 6? She'd wait an eternity, if for Kim Taehyung.
Oh, wouldn't her Mére be proud? That she finally had all the feminine qualities that her mother ever wanted? Patience. She was patient in love. She would wait forever in love. Grace. She would gracefully walk through hell for Kim Taehyung. Softness. Oh, if only her mother knew how soft and tender her heart became for her lover.
Yoongi cleared his throat, dragging Sierra out of her thoughts. He slowly and carefully sat down next to Sierra. He crossed his arms on his chest and leaned back on the cold metal chair. His eyes on the dimly lit, empty corridor,
"Sierra, you should really rest. Or else you'll end up in the bed next to Taehyung."
"Yoongi Oppa, I'm alright."
Sierra hummed. She wasn't alright. She was getting calls from her jobs. Her body was tearing apart from tiredness. Her eyes felt heavier than rocks. Her mind was going fuzzy. Her heart was beating like a drum. And all she wanted was a glimpse of Taehyung.
"Really, Si? Si, I may not know you for a really long period of time. But I know you enough to figure out if you are lying or not. Sierra, you are sleepy, tired, pissed out. You have school tomorrow and part time jobs..."
"Oppa, Taehyung is hospitalized, I just can't go home and sleep while he stays here."
"Sierra, Taehyung is alive. His heart is beating. You need to focus on yourself as well. He will be out in a few days, and as far as I heard from Jennie, you bonded with his mother. So, the chances of you and Taehyung being endgame is really high."
"But Oppa, what happens if the magic does something to one of our lives? We all know how crucial it is. Jimin Oppa is heartbroken for this damn magic and Rosie..."
Sierra gulped. Shutting her eyes close. She promised herself. She'll try to get back to her life. She'll try not to hurt herself over and over the fact that Rosé is dead and she is one of the reasons for it.
She laid her head on Yoongi's shoulder gently. Her eyes closed. A drop of tear casually landing on Yoongi's shoulder. He just pretended not to notice. Sierra whispered,
"Oppa, I'm tired. I'm tired of worrying. I'm tired of being scared that everything would turn into my worst nightmare in a blink of an eye. Oppa, I could've had it worse if not for Taehyung. And now Taehyung is in the hospital and all I can think of is that all of this probably happened for me. If not for me, he wouldn't go to ask his sister about the magic, his sister wouldn't have stabbed him. Oppa, I'm tired of blaming myself. I'm tired of running away. I'm tired of thinking that I'll probably lose someone as soon as the clock strikes 12, or someone will lose me. I just wanna stop. I just want everything be peaceful and quiet. With no threats at all. I'm tired Oppa. I'm tired. I just want everything to stop."
Yoongi placed his head on her's. Cooing affectionately,
"I'll stay awake. Take a power nap. It always works for all nighters, Lil one."
