Tears of the Broken

●●●●●●●

Sky was engulfed in the dark clouds while lighting was scattering all over it. Aggresive blows of cold wind were continuously hitting against his naked chest. His gaze was staring at the horizon unfixed, his eyes were completely emotionless and empty, but if one looked deeply, they could be able to see the immense amount of pain he was holding within them.

Redness was engulfying his dark orbs entirely, but he didn't stop. He brought the bottle of liquor closer to his lips, gulping down the remaining content in it, before tossing the empty bottle aside. He walked towards the table and grabbed another bottle placed on it.

Standing against the railing, he closed his eyes to calm himself down and again opened it. Exhaling a breath, he was about to take another sip when he heard a soft, tender voice.

"Kook..."

His hand stopped in mid-air, the liquor bottol hovering near his lips. Everything around him stopped motioning as soon as that word got penetrated his ears. His heart completely stopped functioning.

"Won't you look at me?"

His lips slightly parted as he spun around in a heartbeat only for his soul to leave his body. His eyes stuck at the person standing before him. He felt like the land under his feet slipped, and every single thing blurred except that tiny figure right in front of him.

She walked towards him and then crossed her arms over her chest. She glared at his frozen form, her glare momentarily shifted at the bottle in his hand before returning back to him. She flared her nostrils, sending him her cute angry glare, who was staring at her with completely numbed soul, body, and heart. Even his lashes refused to even blink, fearing that she would disappear.

"Why are you drinking so much? You know it can be harmful to your health. How can you be so ignorant? You're not taking care of yourself, Kook." She scolded him, and he felt like someone was choking him with both their hands. He couldn't process what was happening as he watched her, completely bewildered. She frowned at his silence and huffed softly..

"I won't talk to you, either.. Do what you want." She spoke in a defeated voice and turned to leave, but as expected, his rigid palm gripped her wrist, halting her steps.

His numbed heart inflated. His adam apple bobbed as he slowly made her turn around and every single cell in his body got shrugged when he saw her smiling at him warmly, holding that same affection and softness in her eyes that she always had for him.

His heart started beating a million times faster, while the world around them seemed frozen. His lips started quivering, and eyes turned blurry. His breathing stuck in his throat, and no word came out from his mouth. He wanted to scream , but not a single audible word was coming out from his throat. He left her wrist and took a step back in utter shock.

Y/n smiled at him and took her step towards him. She gently placed her palm on his cheek and wiped away the single tear that slipped from his eyes. His whole burning body instantly calmed down, feeling her soft touch. This was the smile, the touch he had been yearning for, and it felt like an eternity. Finally, he was feeling it....

She gaped at him, her sparkling eyes filled with tenderness, fastened with his. More tears streamed down his face, watching her beautiful, soft smile. His heart was drumming loudly in his throat. He extended his palm and hesitantly placed it on her cheek. His mouth opened in disbelief as he couldn't believe his own eyes and ears.

"Y/n .." His voice came out as a mere whisper. She smiled more warmly at him and nodded.

The pool of tears, he was holding back till now, broke down from his eyes. He tried to say something, but no voice came out from his throat. Her eyes turned blurry, witnessing his tears, but her smile never faded. His eyes were enveloping with whirlwind of emotions, but hers remained completely calm and soft like an epitome of serenity.
