A Gift

#32

Jin pacing in front of Taehyung while he is just sitting on the chair with a blanket resting on his shoulders, he closes his eyes in slight annoyance "hyung will you stop your parade?". Jin halted and looked at him in shock "Are you serious? Do you even realise what could happen?! You could have freaking died Taehyung !!!"

Jin's neck veins visible in anger and frustration, Tae sighs rubbing his temples "I'm fine hyung-" Jin cut off his words, raising his voice more "Don't you dare give me this crap that 'I am fine hyung' what the hell were you even thinking!!."

Taehyung got up from the chair in anger and frustration looking straight in his eyes "how can you even ask me why I jumped.... Y/N was-" Jin cut off his words with a scoffs "Y/N right? Taehyung how could you even save her when you... Yourself is scared of water !!"

Tae takes a step closer to him with stern eyes, the blanket falls from his shoulders, leaving him in a damp shirt but he doesn't care. He stares straight into Jin's eyes with firmness "I don't care about my phobia... I don't care about any damn thing... In that moment... For me it was her in the water gasping for breath... My body worked on his own without me realising."

Jin looked silently in his eyes, Tae diverted his gaze towards Y/N who is standing with her and his mother... Jen too. He looked at her wrapped in a blanket, her long hair damp.

Jin follows his gaze then looks back at him, Tae closes his eyes for a second still feeling the unknown fear, the scene of her helplessness in the pool played in the back of his mind. He takes a long breath to calm himself and opens his eyes looking in Jin's eyes "I'll jump in that damn pool again in a blink if it matters to save her" his voice is low and deep carrying so many unspoken emotions.

Jin stares at him silently, finally after a moment he breaks the silence "You could’ve drowned." Tae takes one more step closer to him staring in his soul "If I had to sink or swim for someone, it was always gonna be her" his voice is low carrying the depth of so many unspoken emotions. Jin stares at him in shock, the intensity he sees in his eyes is something else, with that Taehyung walks away while Jin looks at him walking away still in shock.

Time skips in their bedroom

Y/N sitting on bed in her night suit sneezing few times. Tae stepped out of the bathroom rubbing his hair with a towel and noticed her sitting silently which was very unusual of her. He sits on the edge of the bed in front of her "Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?". Y/N look at him silently, he frown at her quite behaviour "hey I'm asking you something.... Y/N."

She moves forward in a blink hugging him tightly, he freezes for a moment caught off guard but slowly pat her back softly, then pulling back slightly to look in her beautiful doe shaped eyes. He softly held her face "what happened? Did someone say something hmm? Just tell me."

She shakes her head sniffling softly, he sighs feeling an unknown restlessness at her silence "Look at me... Tell me what happened?" his voice is firm but warm. Y/N look in his eyes while her chin quiver "I-I w-was so scared today h-husband... w-when y-you were not opening y-your eyes... (Eyes well up) M-My heart here (place hand on her chest right above her heart) it w-was booming so fast... Y-You won't leave me right? Jimin oppa said our dadda left us... You w-won't left me r-right." (chocked sob)

Tae immediately pulled her in his arms holding her tightly while she sobs, her body trembling with each passing sobs. He closes his eyes as his heart clutches from the sound of her sobs, he can feel her body trembling in his arms. He tightens his grip on her, one hand wrapped around her waist and the other moving to the back of her head, tangling in her soft hair, caressing it softly "I won't leave you... Never."

Y/N tightly clench his t-shirt in her small fists, hiding her face in the crook of his neck. He sighs closing his eyes at the feeling of her in his arms, this moment feels perfect to him, like he finally got something that he always wanted.
