Black Butterfly | Min Yoongi

Chapter Ten

He was sitting at the practice room, playing a music note that I didn't recognize it at first.

Beside him, was a woman who may be a couple of years older than him. She was listening to him playing the piano , he also looked excited.

They were talking loudly but it was not clear to me. Then their talk turned to whispers so no one would hear them.

But I saw someone else watching them through the glass window of the door. It was another woman.

The boy came closer to the woman beside him to whisper something but be spotted the other woman watching them.

His eyes turned into red and he looked more scary. But the woman next to him didn't notice at all.

Suddenly the woman watching them disappeared and I was standing on ber place!! The boy glared at me angrily , his face looked terrifying!

I tried to justify what just happened but he couldn't hear me. I tried to step back but the boy kept walking closer still glaring at me. He almost broke the barrier between us and tried to touch my forehead.

I screamed and woke from this nightmare. I was sweating as I breathed heavily.

I found myself for the first time ever calling a guy at dawn. Seokjin was the first one I thought about when I wanted to be safe.

My voice showed I was crying. He answered me worriedly. He tired to calm me and I finally was able to talk.

" Seokjin...I want to see you...now"

" Another nightmare?"

I was crying till he finally called again telling me he was waiting for me at the convenience store near my place.

I put on my jacket and went out to out on my shoes. Dad's room was at the end of the corridor, he wouldn't hear me leaving now.

I walked alone in the street. Sunlight had started to appear . I finally reached the convenience store and saw Seokjin's car waiting for me.

I hurried to him and got inside , closing the door. He locked the door and I felt more safe now.

He looked at me and wiped a tear that I didn't notice was there.
He turned and started driving .

The ride was silent for a few moments. I was thinking about how my emotions changed just when I saw him. Every fear I had, the nightmares and all the incidents almost disappeared and I felt safe with him.

Why do I need him beside me that much? Why do I only need him when I am in such situations? Do I really trust him?

I wanted to live the present with every hope and adventure. I stopped thinking. I wanted to confess. Tell him how I feel. I don't care how will he react. I just wanted to trust this and say it!

I took a deep breath which made Seokjin concerned. I asked him to stop the car . He looked tired and exhausted from the flu he had.
He stopped the car to the side.

I turned to him and began talking
" Seokjin ... Do not interrupt me till I finish talking " I said nervously and he nodded still confused.

" Look...I know what I would say now is so random and may not make any sense...but .. Seokjin...I feel safe around you and I don't know why?... I feel I don't have to be someone else when I am with you...just me. When I was at my darkest moments...you appeared out of nowhere..and I see no one but you when I am similar situations. I remember how you cheer me up through my little triumphs. And I wouldn't feel uncomfortable if you saw my weaknesses and failures. I don't know why you...I never even intended on saying that an hour ago...but here I am...it just comes natural like that when I am with you.I don't even know why I am saying that when we are facing such unlogical incidents ..." I said that as I looked down.

It was silent... My heart started beating fast, scared of the answer I didn't want to get. But he kept silent.

I looked up to see his handsome face that has fresh tears going down his cheeks. But he looked...happy?

We were silent but it felt like we were talking through our eyes. He was happy and I was happy too.

" Sara ... I never dreamed of half of this...what you said is even more than what I wished for. I always wanted to be beside you. I wouldn't deny that I took a big space visiting you that day at your place...but I swear I really wanted to help you and make sure you were okay. I wanted you to get back on your feet and get back to your studies. " He said smiling.

I kept looking at his eyes as he continued.

" I always wanted to believe that you may open up your heart to me...Sara...I always wanted to be your safe place...and here you are...I am happy" he said lovingly.

I wanted to say it first. I wanted to say it now!.
" Seokjin... I....I love-"
I couldn't continue what I was saying as I felt his lips on mine. My heart felt like it would explode already.

I closed my eyes as I kissed him back. It felt like heaven. As if I had nothing to worry about at all! No studies! No haunting ghosts! No frightening nightmares! Nothing! Just me and him.
