Hoseok POV
As I wrapped my arms around Y/N, I felt her tension melt away. Her warmth seeped into my soul, soothing the turmoil within. I had missed this feeling - the sense of peace that only she could provide.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, my voice barely audible. Y/N's eyes searched mine, filled with concern. "For what?" she asked. I hesitated, unsure how to answer.
For leaving without explanation?
For putting her through this anguish?
"Everything," I replied, hoping she would understand. Y/N's lips curved into a gentle smile. "You're here now," she said, her voice soft. I held her closer, breathing in her scent, letting her presence calm my racing thoughts.
But the guilt lingered. I had promised to protect her, to keep her safe. Yet, I'd exposed her to my family's darkness. My father's expectations. My mother's disappointment. The weight of their disapproval crushed me.
How could I tell Y/N?
That my family didn't approve of us?
That they demanded I end our relationship?
I couldn't bear the thought of losing her. Not now. Not ever.
"Stay with me tonight?" Y/N asked, her voice breaking into my thoughts. I nodded, my heart aching with emotion. "I'll never leave again," I promised. But the lie stung. I would have to confront my family eventually. And face the consequences.
For now, I pushed aside the doubts. And lost myself in Y/N's love. Her touch, her smile, her laughter - they were my solace. My sanctuary.
As we sat together, wrapped in each other's arms, I knew I had to find a way to make this work. To protect Y/N from my family's toxicity. To keep our love safe.
But how?
Y/N's gentle snores filled the silence, a soothing melody that calmed my racing thoughts. I watched her sleep, my heart swelling with love.
How could I shield her from my family's cruelty?
From the expectations that threatened to suffocate me?
My phone buzzed on the nightstand, Jungkook's name flashing on the screen.
"I've been thinking," Jungkook's text read. "We need to take care of this once and for all."
My stomach twisted into knots.
What did he have planned?
"Tomorrow," Jungkook's next message said. "Meet me at the café."
I hesitated, unsure if I was ready.
But Y/N's peaceful face reminded me of what was at stake.
Our future.
Our love.
I typed out a reply.
"I'll be there."
Y/N stirred, her eyes fluttering open.
"Hoseok?" she whispered.
"I'm here," I replied, smiling.
Y/N's gaze locked onto mine.
"Promise me," she said, her voice barely audible.
"Anything," I replied.
"Promise me you'll never leave again."
My heart ached.
I wanted to promise.
