PLEASE COME BACK TO ME

Ch 2: Memories

Taehyung'
'Jungkook'
Words came out as whispers. Time seemed to stop. Memories flooding their minds. Emotions prominent in their eyes as if they are both trying to find solace in each other - both their minds snapped back to their first meet .

A boy, in his thirteen or fourteen, sitting alone at a corner of the school hallway. Head resting on the wall, lost in some other world.

All of a sudden he felt a hand on his shoulders making him flinch. A brown hair boy, relatively older with unique facial features looking at him with concern. The younger brought his knees closer to his chest as if trying to protect himself, unconfidence lingering in his eyes.

' Hey! Look at me please' The older said and his voice oh, ever so gentle 'Why are you sitting alone here? Is there something that's bothering you?' he asked the younger. His hands cupping his face.

Warmth. That's what the younger felt. Tears streamed down his eyes at the comfort and security he felt. On noticing the tears the older immediately brought his face to his chest. Muffled sobs left the younger's mouth.

'Hey it's okay. Whatever it is it's gonna be fine.' the older said comforting the younger.

'Dad' the younger cried 'I miss you dad. I miss you so much' . It's then the older understood the reason. He felt so sorry for him. He didn't knew how it is like having parents but he surely knew the big roles they play in one's life. He was speechless. Having a father whom you lost at such a young age must haven't been easy for the younger.

'It's okay. Cry out. Let out your emotions. No one will say you anything .'

Ah, were those the words the younger was yearning so badly to hear from someone. Probably? After the death of her father two weeks back he didn't got a single minute to cry and let out his pains. The relatives who came to console him just seemed to pity him for his sorrowful fate. But this stranger? Despite judging him and pitying him like they did held him in his arms and asked him to cry. He felt as if the older was absorbing all his pains in the most soothing way.

It was after a long time that he finally stopped. Eyes red, cheeks puffed out, messy hair and dried tears stain on his whole face made him look so tired he actually was.

The older gently picked him up and helped him to go to the washroom. He cleared his face and stress washed out with the water.

'Why did you help me?' he finally asked the older.
'I didn't help you it's just you'ere sitting alone in the hallway and I noticed you.'
'Oh'
'Hey you should eat something you must be hungry'
The younger seemed off. Understanding the situation the older immediately said 'Come with me to the canteen. I'll get you something to eat'
'But....'

'It's okay. You don't need to be shy'

'But I don't even know your name '

'Taehyung. Kim Taehyung. Yours?'

'Jeon Jungkook'
