⚜REST WITHIN ME⚜ [Namjin] [Taekook] (Under Editing)

|*__41__*|

-What the hell—darling, why are you crying!!?
(The sudden snatch of the book off his fingers causes the prince to flinch back to reality. He clenches his opened—trembling—fingers tightly and takes a sharp inhale of blocked tears he did not know he was crying. But when Namjoon grips around his shoulders and pull him into his embrace, Seokjin breaths a shaky sigh and stares in horror—at the diary thrown across the table. He feels lips pressing kisses along his face, sucking tears out from his eyes—but is that Namjoon? Seokjin gasps, jerking away from his embrace and sitting straight to search for the face....and almost chokes on tears, seeing the piercing brown eyes widening in worry and fear.)

"S-Seokjin...tell me love. What—what have I written on this to make you cry? I- I am sorry if—"

-Y-You tried to k-kill yourself?

(Namjoon flinches at the stuttering whispers, his eyes widening in dread and shame as he frantically catches the book from the desk and flapping those pages in panic—almost tearing the corners as well—searching the words that had reached Seokjin's mind...the words he attempted to hide from Seokjin's eyes. He curses out for himself at the recklessness of his own mind. He did forget that page! He had forgotten the words he wrote one rainy night with burning tears in his eyes as his gaze had flickered from the book towards the bloodied knife that was dipped in the pool of blood which had dribbled along his sliced wrist! He had forgot to tear that page from contacting with Seokjin before lending his diary for him.)

-I—I...I f-forgot about this. It shouldn't be here.
(Without reluctance, he rips the page and crunches it into a ball before tossing it away from them. Seokjin soundly swallows the lumps in his throat and spins on his lap—in a way he could bury his face on the desk. He starts to weep soundlessly, heart full with weight and pain again. He couldn't think right now. He only visions the letters scribbled on that certain page. The depressive words which have punched him hard on the chest.)

"Darling...I-I'm so, so sorry that you had to witness such dreadful thing. I forgot that, truly, I forgot to tear such pages off my diary. I was rash, I'm sorry, my prince."
(Seokjin raises his head upon the apology Namjoon states. He swings on his lap and faces him, gazing from those blood-shot, impossibly large, feline blue eyes which makes the king's breath hitch. Namjoon curses himself so badly and his heart tears apart watching his darling hurting himself due to his carelessness)

-W-Why didn't *sniff* you s-say that—earlier? I-I didn't know y-you were *sob* u-under such d-depression. I—I should have—have known *sob*. I should've known! Such a b-bitch were I. I-I ignored you!*sniff* I-I am so-sorry. So-Sorry. I—I...I didn't know. I-I couldn't grasp on—on a thought that you w-were depressed and—

-shh...it's alright now. Alright, my love. Nothing—Nothing to cry about. It's all over.
(Namjoon lets the younger's head fall on his shoulder as his eyes sting with tears upon hearing Seokjin's suffocated apologizes. The king is always weak when Seokjin has tears of pain. He had hurt him and now, Namjoon will have to suffer....by seeing the prince crying.)
"It's fine, darling. It was long before. I-I am well now, I swear. I'm okay. Don't blame yourself. It is not your fault, love. Not yours. Never shoulder such sorrows."
