The Shattered Smile || V X BTS

⁠♡CHAPTER 4♡

Present Time:

Taehyung walked out of the hospital with tears in his eyes as he unlocked his car door and got inside it. He buckled up his seatbelt as tears blurred his vision, he buried his face in his hands as he sobbed hard.

He wanted to end everything, every possible thing he was suffering from for once and for all.. but he couldn't, he couldn't let her down.

He then dialled her number as he was sniffing badly, it was 4 in the morning but still the other person immediately picked up which relieved him, “H—Hello?” he spoked as he heard a sweet female voice from the other side.

“Taehyung? What happened love?” the female asked as Taehyung burst out into tears, breaking into sobs.. his demeanor being completely shattered with the only person's voice who still had warmth for him.

“A-Arianna..” he whispered while crying hard as Arianna, his girlfriend was worried sick for him now as her sleep had been completely vanished because of his cries.

“T-Tae...hey Taehyung shi... Can you come over to my place? We can talk.” She suggested as Taehyung hums weakly and then hangs up as he wipes his tears and droves off to his girlfriend's place.

Upon reaching Arianna Agreste's place, he parked his car and weakly made his way to her house. As soon as she opened the door, he couldn't even speak anything as the poor soul collapsed in her arms as Arianna gasped.

“Tae..? Kim Taehyung?” she calls out while patting his cheeks and felt it burning hot. He was running a fever as she wrapped his arms around her neck and supported him to the couch.

She gently lay him down on the couch as she removed his shoes and socks and then kept it in the shoe racks as she closed the main door.

She then unbuttoned his coat buttons and slowly removed it as she unbuttoned his sleeves while rolling it slightly up. She went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of cold water and a towel as she dipped the towel in it and squeezed it as she placed it on his burning forehead.

She then removed his belt so that he doesn't feel uncomfortable as she went to the bedroom and brought him some pillows and blankets and made it comfortable for him.

That whole night she took thorough care of him and kept an eye on his temperature from time to time. She was worried sick about him as she decided to make him some soup.

Arianna went to the kitchen as she removed the chopping board and started to chop garlic, radish, mushroom and some tomatoes. She added a bowl of water on the pan and turned on the stove to medium flame.

She then added all the vegetables and then added the spices to it. Simultaneously she started to prepare some porridge for him because she knew that's what would make his fever come down..

After she was done, she kept all the utensils with the dish inside the hot box as she went to the living room and continued to dip the towel in the bowl and change it from time to time.

Taehyung woke up with an immense headache which made him groan slightly. He opened his eyes and looked around, he was in an unfamiliar room which wasn't his bedroom. He tried to sit up but felt something restricting his arm. He saw his girlfriend Arianna sleeping with her head on the couch and her hands holding his.

He felt a cloth on his forehead as he removed it and realised what had happened. Upon feeling the movements, Arianna jolts awake as she looks at Taehyung. “Oh my god, you're awake... Are you ok? Do you feel giddy?” she asked while placing her palm on his forehead as she sighed in relief.

“Your fever's gone..thank god.” She said as he slowly nods his head, “What happened?” Taehyung asks groggily as Arianna sighs while looking at him.

“You collapsed last night due to fever, Y'know when you were crying on call I was worried sick..” she said as Taehyung's expression softened.

“I'm sorry Ari...” he mumbled like a little child as Arianna chuckles while shaking her head, “It's fine love.” she said while cupping his cheeks and pecking his forehead.

“All that matters is you're safe and ok.. that's all.” she smiled as Taehyung smiles back.. atleast he had someone by his side when his Hyungs are hating on him, if not for Arianna.. Taehyung didn't even know if he would've managed to be alive until now because he was a child who craves love.

And that very child like Kim Taehyung was being deprived of the Brotherly love from his Hyungs and Maknae.

Don't you think it's very cruel?? His Hyungs do deserve some punishment 🤔
