They were heading back home. He was driving but couldn't help glancing at her tired figure every now and then. He felt something unusual because she was extremely quiet to even believe. Whatever excuses she gave him, it didn't buy him at all, but he remained quiet.

If she had headache, she would've blasted his head with her tantrums by now, and even her headache wouldn't stop her from talking..

He sighed at his thoughts. Tossing his head, he took another glance at her. Her head was tilted towards the window, completely silent. She wasn't crying, but why was he feeling heaviness in his heart as if she was in deep pain or suffering something and wasn't even willing to tell him.
What happened during that half hour he was away? If he had known earlier that something like this would happen, then he would have never left her there.

Exhaling once again, he reached out his hand and held her palm. Lacing his fingers with hers, he brought her hand close to his lips, all while keeping his gaze on the road. He placed a tender kiss on her palm and rested their intertwined palms on his thigh, and drove off in silence without noticing that single tear falling from her eyes at his action.

"It's alright, Taehyung, I'm feeling better now," Y/n said, stopping Taehyung's hand for like 4th time, who was massaging her head gently.

"You sure?" He asked, still moving his fingers on her head, which made her sigh.

"Can we cuddle, please? It's cold," she requested, looking at him with her swollen eyes.

He sighed and nodded with a smile. Turning off the lights, he got under the covers.

Stretching his arm behind her head, he circled it around her shoulder while the other arm moved to her waist, pulling her closer. He tucked the duvet around them as she nestled on his chest.

"You didn't close the door," Y/n pointed out, looking at the flying curtains and the tiny water droplets falling rapidly outside the open glass door.

"Hmm... the air feels refreshing," he replied, taking a deep breath of the cold air. She felt her head rise and fall with his chest movements.

A peaceful silence settled into the air as she heard his slow and rhythmic heartbeats accompanied by the calm and uneven melody of water droplets meeting the floor of the balcony. His soft fingers in her head, stroking her hair, felt so calm, but yet she was far away from feeling peace.

Her fingers drew invisible circles on his covered chest, and the soothing scent of his body filled her senses. Her eyes were open, while a slight frown was settled on her forehead cause her mind was fighting with her inner turmoil.

"Taehyung.. " She called out softly, and he hummed. The soft yet husky voice resonated in the room, and she knew he was sleepy.

"Will you ever leave me?"
Her words made him open his eyes.

"What do you mean?"
Y/n lifted her head and gazed at him, his eyes settled down on her with confusion written all over his face. She dropped her chin on his chest with a sigh.

"Just wondering..... Will you ever leave me?" She shrugged, but his face immediately turned cold.

"You doubt my love?"

She didn't reply but just stared into his dark eyes. She felt his right hand traveling up, and he gently gripped her jaw.

"I would never leave you... Not now, not ever.. Even in the next life, you're meant to be mine.. "
