Chapter - 26

Y/N Pov

"Can it ever happen that my Y/N needs me and I won't come?" Tae's voice and presence everything made me more emotional as I hugged him tightly. He too wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him.

No, I didn't cry anymore. Not because I was embarrassed or something but Tae's presence alone was so healing, I forgot all my pains quite immediately.

"You shouldn't have come, I mean its midnight, and you must have been sleeping. And I disturbed your sleep. You also must have work tomorrow. I said showing my concern. Taehyung broke the hug and made me look at him."

His hands cupped my cheeks softly. "Y/N you are my only priority right now. I don't care. Even if I would be doing something even more important I would still come running for you. Especially when you were crying, it's not normal for you, I know." He said and caressed my cheeks with his thumb.

His words made me get tears in my eyes once again. It has been years, since someone cared so much for me. Of course I had Tasha but this act of Taehyung especially considering the fact that he doesn't lives very close to my house and still came to meet me. That too at this point of the night.

"I am so grateful, Tae. You won't believe but even before when I used to wake up from nightmares crying, I just wanted someone who would hold me close and let me cry on their shoulder. I don't know what's suddenly wrong but maybe it's all because of what happened today in the morning. I got flashbacks of that night. And I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore."

As I explained what I felt Taehyung heard everything and led me towards the bed. He sat at the edge and pulled me on his lap, we fitted so well like this, and it was almost like we were two puzzle pieces.

"I understand. And even though I would never know what it feels like to be in your shoes, I would love to hear all your concerns. You can vent as much as you want. I would listen to you till the end. But after all this I would only say one thing, I might not be able to return your family members but I am your family from now on. I am and will always be your family from now on. You can just forget everything at the end of the day and sink into my chest. You can open up as much as you want. Because both you and your secrets are safe with me. They are safe, cherished and most importantly taken care of."

Honestly his words didn't surprise me because it was Kim Taehyung. He has a heart of gold. But I was surely touched. I was not just touched because he was there to comfort me but also how he held me like letting me go would be losing the whole world. However this made me feel equally guilty.

Guilty for not being able to reveal my identity. For not being able to tell him that his life only had light while mine was dark. Pitch black. I knew, I would get more addicted to him. So much that I might end up hurting both of us. But that had to happen. If light is not enough to cover the darkness, the darkness will engulf the light eventually.

But I was a coward. A coward who didn't have the guts to tell him the whole truth. I know my job wasn't something wrong. I didn't do anything illegal. I didn't hurt anyone, rather quite opposite. However, I still hid myself from him. I kept him in darkness. I made him fall for the girl whom he thinks is just a lonely normal girl. But I was far off from normal.

I was just lost in these thoughts when he said, "Do you feel better than before?" his tone was the softest I ever had. And honestly I liked being treated like that. No matter how tough I always acted I too wanted to be treated with care, and delicacy. And he did exactly like that.

I broke the hug and placed a hand on his chest, his heart was beating slowly. I realized so was mine. Yes, the closeness did sometimes make my heart flutter but most of the times his touch and presence would calm me down.
