Nightmare Before Christmas || BangChan

15. Thank you

Chris's POV:

It's been two days since I pulled Y/N out of that place. Two days of non stop agony pain from overthinking, not sleeping, not eating with constant worry.

Minho had to forcibly pry me away from her side as she stay unconscious in my bed. Forcing me eat and trying to get me to sleep but I just couldn't.

The guilt was eating me alive.

Jisung kept reassuring me that she is okay and most likely her body went into shock from the cold.

I trusted my men and allowed them to look over her as I sat in the lounge of the headquarters impatiently waiting for her to wake up. I tried to focus on what needed to be done and had Felix along with Jeongin dig up as much intel as they could about the people who kidnapped her and why they wanted her so badly.

As time ticked on slowly my thoughts were getting heavier and heavier on my mind.

If I never ran after that guy she wouldn't be in this state. I should have just sent Minho after him and stayed by her side. What if she doesn't wake up? What if-

My thoughts were wiped clean when I heard Minho screaming from the bedroom that she is awake. I don't think I ever moved so fast in my life. I needed to see her. I needed to see that she was actually okay.

The moment I stepped foot in that room my heart began to flutter out of no where. I suddenly felt... nervous.

"You can go now." I told Jisung as he was still sitting in the same spot he was in when Minho took me out of the room earlier.

With a simple nod he walked out.

My heart began to beat faster as I heard my name being called very weakly. I did my best to put a tiny smile on my face to give her some type of comfort, assuring her that she was safe while I tried to hide away the sickening feeling I had.

My throat was in my stomach and I couldn't speak. I sat down next to her, avoiding eye contact just incase she could see through my fake smile.

What kills me the most about all this is that she will probably never trust me again which caused my head to drop in defeat.

But to my surprise, I felt myself being pulled in close as she wrapped her delicate arms around my neck. Without even a glimpse of hesitation I instantly looped my arms around her back, pulling her in so close that I could feel her own heart beating against my chest.

"Thank you." She whispered.

We both released our hold on each other. I couldn't contain my smile after that. I know what she was thanking me for so I didn't have to ask.

"Y/n."

"Chris."

We both giggled as we each said the others name simultaneously.

"Ladies first." I said reaching up to tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear.

She took a deep breath in before looking at me with her sweet and innocent eyes. It's the pure bliss feeling I get when looking into her ocean blue eyes and that has me craving for more.

It's been 13 years since we first met as kids. 13 long years that I have held back for some ungodly reason. I never truly knew how much she meant to me and how much I wanted to always be by her side until her "so called" accident 3 years ago. When I thought I had lost her for good.

Lost deep in thought, y/n placed her hand on my shoulder snapping me out of my nostalgic memories.

"Hmm?"

"I'm sorry for accusing you.." She pulled her back as she shyly looked away. "Of.. well.. you know."

Chuckling to myself at her cuteness. "I didn't mean to scare you. I was just-" Y/n then turned back towards me, placing a soft kiss on my cheek, causing me to stop talking mid sentence. I felt the heat rise to my cheeks as my heart began to flutter even more.

"You were just trying to protect me. I know." She said with a slight blush to her own cheeks and a smile on her lips that had me mesmerized.
