Y/n's POV

The night's depth had dug in me a question I never saw coming before. What was he doing to me ? Wish I knew the answer . This was something so unfamiliar, the strange security I felt around Taehyung, this bewitching pull my heart felt as I gently stroked through his hair. It was something which I had never felt before.

Suddenly the guy whom I had known as my rival felt like peace and home . He made me feel the same way a younger version of me used to feel around my mother. Taehyung's lavender cologne mixed with his own odour had become familiar. So much that it would whirl me into a state of peace .

The scariest thing was the attachment I felt around him . It recoiled me to the times where I had felt so lost after being made to feel belonged . The feelings splashing within me like tides were daunting. And it was all directed to one person. The one who was the last I had imagined to see me at my worst and yet had surpassed all my imaginations and became the knight who could fight my fears.

I had found a natural drug to ease all my panic and anxiety. It was Taehyung who slept so serenely on my chest that it almost felt so precious. My heart did the abnormalities again, fluttering at the thoughts and leaping everytime the sleeping guy's breath hit my skin.

At once when the darkness abandoned the sky and slowly dawn took over , I gently placed Taehyung's head on a nearby pillow and departed for a much needed time for myself. Over the night I could only think . It lingered mostly around him but sometimes it rolled down to the darker side as well .

My father's words were still young , ringing in my ears and creeping in my mind like a parasite . When it got overwhelming, I had to step out on the balcony and breathe the fresh morning air . There were other things as well. Such as how before the event Taehyung had said that his first allegation of our moment being nothing to him wasn't true.

Things happening between us weren't meaningless . I was sure about that after receiving Taehyung's answer . The effect on me was also there for him as well . But how to name it , this thought might get me a bit overwhelmed. Because the words which intervened in my mind as answers were way way unfamiliar. They were the things I hadn't ever received or given for the longest I remembered.

We had a lot to discuss but somewhere we both would eventually get lost into each other. It was as if nothing else would matter when our eyes meet and the world stops. We breathed through our closure and burned as we touched. Our bodies, they were as if magnetised, bound to find closure upon each other's presence .

Taehyung had casted a spell on me and then everyday , every second in his presence I was losing my mind .

Next morning

Taehyung's POV

I was woken up selfishly with the unbearing coldness that had entrapped me in its claws. For a moment it felt like I had visualised a moment from my past with a glimpse of a bloody hand and my mother's corpse lying in its own pool of blood . Then as if an echo fled behind my back , I heard the sweet voice of my brother.

Only, I felt haunted by the echo chasing me from behind and when I had suddenly opened my eyes with cold sweat formed on my forehead, even the shining rays of the warm sun didn't make the coldness vanish. This was a little secret of mine , which was a bigger weakness.

I was scared of something which I wasn't scared of before . The tragedy from two years back had destroyed me and gathered my broken self into a fake underlying strength. It was all because of that one word which had somehow kept me up . Vengeance. I wanted to destroy Lee and I had gone to every extent to fulfil my revenge.

But these days my motivation was slowly shifting. And maybe this dream was a warning for that ? I sat on the bed wondering about it until I was out of topic. That was when I slowly took in my surroundings and realised how the room I was in wasn't actually mine to begin with.
