Unfolding Feelings

Tae POV

A soft warmth surrounded me, pulling me out of the restless darkness I had drowned myself in. My eyelids felt heavy, my body stiff, but something felt... different. Familiar. Safe.

Then, I felt it. A gentle touch in my hair. A warmth in my hand.
A soft voice echoed my ears..

"Tae.."

I Opened my eyes a bit but before I could see anything my eyelids gave up, closing up again.

The voice again echoed forcing me not to ignore this time.

"Taehyung..."

I slowly blinked my eyes open, adjusting to the dim lighting of the hospital room. The scent of antiseptic filled my nose, but nothing mattered more than what was in front of me.

I kept looking at her as if trying to capture her in my eyes. She's fine.. she's ok.. she isn't so hurt..

My heart clenched.

I opened up my eyes and this time fully. And the second my eyes landed on that particular figure, everything stopped.

Yn.

She was sitting beside me, her eyes filled with something unreadable. The moment our gazes met, I stiffened. And then, I realized-I had been holding her hand in my sleep.

Panic shot through me like lightning, and I immediately pulled away, standing up in a rush. Trying to leave the room and not to meet her gaze again. What was I doing? I had no right to hold her hand, not after-

Yn: STOP!

Before I could leave, her voice cut through my thoughts, sharp and demanding.

I froze, my breath hitching. She never spoke to me like that before.

Tae: I-I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-

I said as I remembered how I was holding her when I had no right to even see her after what i did but she cut me in between my sentences.

Yn: Shut up and sit back!

she interrupted, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Yn: And sit properly, not on that uncomfortable stool where you spent the whole night.

I blinked at her, still shocked. Did she just scolded me? I just felt that I'm getting scolded for going to school but still I obeyed. Hesitantly, I moved to sit on the bed, my legs hanging off the side, avoiding her gaze.

Yn: No.

she huffed, clicking her tongue.

Yn: Sit properly, Taehyung. Like me. Legs folded and facing me.

I hesitated but eventually did as told, feeling strangely like a child being scolded. YN reached for a plate wrapped in foil and unwrapped it, revealing food. The scent hit my nose, making me realize just how empty my stomach was. But before I could process it, she lifted a spoonful of rice towards me.

Yn: C'mon now, say ahh...

I just stared at her, dumbfounded. Was she seriously feeding me right now?

She scoffed.

Yn: You look so pathetic with those big eyes, Don't be dramatic and eat.

I opened my mouth, about to protest, but then my eyes landed on her wrist. My heart dropped.

Tae: where is your plaster, yn?!

My voice came out alarming and aloud.

Tae: Did you remove it? Who did this? And why are you putting so much weight on your arm? It's goddamn fractured, YN! Put that plate aside! Wait-lemme just call the doctor to-
