26: "I've fallen for you."

TAEHYUNG'S POV

Numb.

Frozen.

This are Least things I feel in all sort of emotions which are bottled up in me. I was numb last time when I saw my hyung drifting away in river after getting shot by my enemy. The shot, the bullet which was supposed to be mine.

I was the one who should have been in water, fading in black hole, disappearing in hollows. That's what suits my name. Shadow.

Yet, that night it was my Hoseok Hyung who took that bullet to save me, disappear in water with my title as his name to give life to me. That day the shadow within me faded and only left numb Kim Taehyung.

A powerless, helpless and numb brother.

Then after four years on same river I met a ray of light on me. The same light which fall on me and showed me my fading existence. Made me realise that the shadow I lost was never disappeared from me. I just needed light, a light to make to visible in darkness.

That's what my Aster is for me. A light that makes me realise my real powerful, ruthless and breathing self. Then I got to know the Light made me acknowledge the lost part of me was alone. Too alone that she didn't even had her own shadow to embrace her, that's how bright she was.

And now I again felt the same numbness I felt that day feeling that small body hugging me, as if hiding me within her. My light. My Aster.

“N-no don't-” she sobs against my chest bringing me back to reality. My jaw harden when her body body loosen it's hold on me and turn to namjoon.

Black flashes through my vision, no the blood red when noticing she was still on gun point clasping her infront of this bastard was last string of my raged nerve. "D-don't do anything to him. It's me. Not him."

"I-i won't meet him, i-i won't come near him. I-i will leave but d-don't hurt him. I-i am sorry-" I didn't let her finish and wrap my arm around her stomach, pulling her flush close to my chest.

"Shh, This is the last time I am seeing you begging infront of someone.” I whisper darkly in threat against her ear, yet she shook her head and sob.

"h-he will h-hurt you because of me." her words come out broken, shaky which made me snapped out. I glare at namjoon who was staring at her in surprise just like others.

"DROP THE FUCKING GUN KIM NAMJOON!" I roar with raged breath. My fist tighten around her stomach when she flinches badly against my chest.

he laughs and raise his arms up. "Christ! Gun down, hands up."

crooked playful smirk played on his lips and he looks at her while chuckling. "No one is hurting your taehyung, little girl-ahk fuck!" I slam hard punch on his jaw until my knuckles felt the raged impact of it, pushing her behind me.

"Taehyung!"

"T-taehyung!" other voice turned deaf to my ear except her frightened one, I turn and look down at with sharp glare.

"Stop crying." I snap, it took everything in me to not knock some sense in her right here, right fucking now. "Now." I lift her chin, eyeing the path those tears took to slide down her cheek, my voice was barely above whisper.
