CH 23 | I AM LUCKY TO HAVE YOU

"Thomas's wife is admitted in this hospital. She is in a coma." Officer Jung announced to Taehyung as he looked at your visage standing next to him followed by Taehyung, "We will talk tomorrow." Taehyung said as Hoseok nodded.

Taking a seat over the couch in your hospital room, Taehyung looked at your frame being horror-struck as you were blankly staring down at the tiled floor.

Tracing his globes beside, he looked at your hand which was holding his vast ones stiffly, you didn't want to let go of it. You wanted him by your side. Your heart was beating at a rapid speed inside your ribcage while your lips were quivering and your breathings were unevenly heavy.

"You don't have to worry, Y/n. I am with you." He looked at you with a soft gaze before trying to slip his hand out of your grip when you held it tightly, gazing up at him with your petrified orbs, "Where are you going?" You asked with a shaky and stammering tone.

"Relax!" Taehyung muttered as he gazed down at you before stopping towards you as he stretched his right hand near your visage prior to resting his large palm on your cheeks and jaw as his middle finger skimmed over your jawline.

You let out a quivering breath as he caressed your cheek with the pad of his thumb, "Simmer down. There is no need to worry. He is gone." You steadily and softly let go of his hand with your heart still hammering inside your chest while he rubbed his thumb twice over your cheek before twitching his feet towards the hospital bed.

You watched him pouring a glass of water from the jug prior to walking back to you and stretching his hand out for you to hold the glass of water, "Have it?" He muttered as you wiggled your orbs from the glass into his cocoa globes. Taking the glass from him, you skimmed a little beside on the couch for him to have a seat beside you. As if getting a sign, Taehyung leisurely took a seat beside you.

All this while you were thinking that his wife died in an accident but she was murdered and her murderer was roaming around in freedom. "I don't know how to put this forward. Should I ask him about Ari? It would hurt him. He should be the one to take his time…. All the time he wants."

"Are you okay?" You came out of your stupor as you heard his deep voice, you looked at him as the glass of water was tilted while the water was about to spill down but before it could, you placed it on the table while Taehyung scrutinized your gesture as you hummed in response of his question.

The grip over the material of your cloth didn't go unnoticed by him while your eyes didn't have a proper location to settle upon, they were just staring blankly all over the floor.

Taking a deep breath, Taehyung stretched his hand with a reluctant feeling as you felt his warm fingertip over your frigid palm making you look at him with befuddlement, your orbs trailing over his globes, "You are fine, right? You should rest."

You held his hand a bit more stiffly, "I should be the one to say that." You gazed at him with your lips pressed together, "I know it's so hard to move on from someone you love the most." You muttered as you watched his eyebrows knitted together prior to becoming soft as he watched your orbs turning watery over the second, thinking of your deceased mother.

"You know, Ari was really lucky that she got you." You muttered gazing in his orbs. He traced southward from your eyes to your nose embedded with the weeny mole on its tip and down to your rosy dainty petals.

"I was the lucky one to have her and..... you." The last part didn't come out of his throat as you nodded butting down your lower lip. The two souls were so ready to say the sentiments in the core of their hearts but didn't know how to confess those irresistible words stuck in their throats. All they wanted was each other but couldn't tell how to.
