His Caged Butterfly

Chapter 12

AT Night

I can't scream. I can't speak. Even if I did , no one could hear me but still , I tried. My lungs won't expand. My breaths keep coming in short breaths. My chest feels too tight and my throat is closing up. I tried to shout but I can't. I can not stop wheezing , thrashing my arms and desperately trying to breathe but the effort is futile.

No one can hear me , no one can see me. I , myself don't even know where I was. It was all dark around me. No one will ever know that I'm dying. No one would come to save me. No one would help. No one will ever know that there's a hole in my chest filling with blood and pain and such unbearable agony and there's so much of it , so much blood , hot and pooling around me and I can't , I can't , I can't breath-

" y/n- y/n , wake up——
wake up —— "

I jerk up so quickly. I'm heaving in deep , harsh , gasping breaths. So relieved to be able to breathe the oxygen.

Tears slid down my cheek. My whole body shaking badly , my skin is clammy from going hot to cold too quickly.

" y/n "

My eyes looked up at him. Hairs messy , shocked was he. His arm around me and I was holding onto his shoulder. Tears continued to slide down as he looked at me tensed.

" breath "

I felt his warm palm against my cheek , Guiding me to calm down and breathe. My hands fisted on his Shoulder as his hand wrapped around my waist and I followed his movements , calming down my breathing.

He caressed my hairs as I laid my head on his shoulder , My arms around him tightly and my heart was filled with security. I closed my eyes tiredly , my right hand holding his hairs and the other hand around his shoulder holding him close.

       Taehyung's Pov

It was currently 11:39 on and she was sleeping on the bed. I was laying on the couch , staring outside at the starry sky.

I could not sleep. Even though we are married , I did not want to sleep on the bed with her. Not because of any wrong reason but because I did not want to make her uncomfortable.

It was all so sudden for us specially me. It was not that sudden for her. Even though it was , she needed love and care which I was gonna give her but for me , I had to be prepared to face everything that get in my way and hers.

I was so lost in my thoughts when from the corner of my eye , I noticed some movement. I turned my head and frowned my eyes.

She struggled to move. I quickly sat up and she was holding the pillow tightly and she was ...... crying.

I felt a sudden pang in my heart as if I was stabbed. I quickly sat up and for a second I thought there was no ground under my feet.

I quickly stood up rushing over to her whom was crying without any voice. I sat down beside her , shaking her body to wake her up from the nightmare.

" y/n-y/n , wake up—— ,
wake up—— "

She opened her eyes , tears trickling down her cheek as her chest heaved up and down. Her hairs falling on her face as her innocent eyes stared at me for comfort. Her grip on my arms were deadly.

" y/n "

She refused to breathe properly. Her body was trembling very badly that it scared me for a minute.

" breathe "

I caressed her cheek and as soon as her eyes met mine , I sensed the Panic going away as I guided her to breathe in and out just like how I was telling her to.
