Taehyung looked at you with sore eyes. You sighed and rubbed your hand against his. "I'm sorry." Taehyung said as he looked disappointed with himself. You narrowed your eyes in confusion. "Look, no matter what it is I'll be here for you. You don't have to apologize. It couldn't be help and I understand that." You tried to assure him. He sniffed and wiped the last of his tears. "I love you so so much." You added and Taehyung gave you a weak smile.

"I love you too." He mumbled with a weak voice. "D-do you still want to go?" He asked. You realized that he was supposed to be taking you somewhere. You could tell he wasn't in the mood for "fun" or activities in general. He was broken and you wanted to do all you could to mend the heart of your best friend. He squeezed the steering wheel and looked over at you.

"We could stay in and watch your favorite movies." You suggested. Taehyung smiled wholeheartedly, giving the illusion that he was completely fine. "Deal. I'll make it up to you." He said as he began to exit the car. "Ah, you don't have to make anything up for God's sake." You got out of the car and heard him giggle.

As you got back to the porch you unlocked the door and waited for Taehyung. His expression was a little brighter but you knew that something was eating away at his well being. You two walked into the hose and got settled. You use to have movie nights with Taehyung all the time. It was the highlight of your week. However, it won't be the same.

Taehyung kicked his shoes off and sat on the couch. You slipped in his favorite comedy and went to get some snacks. When you came back he looked up at you with a slight grin. "Thank you." He said as you set the snacks down. You sat next to him and he snuggled into you. Taehyung rested his head on your chest as the movie began.

This was slightly different. He didn't display any emotion. This was his favorite comedy that he would always quote. You laughed at the film more than he did. You felt his body get heavier on you as you played with his hair. Soon you heard faint snores escape your best friend's mouth. You smiled to yourself while finding his slumber, adorable. He must have been up all night thinking about his dad.

Moments later you heard Taehyung begin to mumble. "Dad! Let her go!" He yelled through his slumber. "Stop it!" He added. You observed his expression and saw that he began to sweat. You shook him out of this scary state. "Taehyung wake up." You commanded. He soon woke up with a scared look on his face. His breath was heavy and his eyes were watery. "Are you okay?" You asked him as he calmed down. "Yeah, I-I just had a bad dream." He placed a hand on his forehead.

His face slowly grew darker in expression. You watched as he shut is eyes and shook his head. "Taehyung, can just tell me what happened with your dad?" You gave up on sparing him of that question. He inhaled and sat up on the couch. "I caught him abusing my mother. We got into a fight and I...." He stopped and looked down. "You what?" You asked urgently. "I stabbed him." He continued. "Your eyes widened at him. You didn't know what to do. "He's gone and I hate myself. I hate him for hurting my mother. I don't know what to do and I don't deserve to be here." He began to cry.

"You deserve to be here. You were just trying to protect her." You said as you moved closer to him. "I shouldn't have told you." He said as he looked away from you. "Now you don't love me." He got up and began to leave. "I'm sorry." You got up and rushed over to him. "Taehyung don't do anything stupid!" You began to cry as you latched onto him. "You mean so much to me. I know you're scared but I can't lose you." You knew he was going to something that couldn't be be reversed. He was always to hard on himself. Even though this was a more serious situation, you knew he was just trying to protect his mother.

Taehyung held you close and tried to calm you down. One thing that he never really realized about your friendship was that it wasn't one way. You weren't just his stability but he was yours as well. You needed him. That's something that will never change and he failed to realize that you latched onto him. He failed to see how much you needed him to be okay. Without him nothing would be worth it.

He couldn't just leave you behind. If he ever disappeared, you would too. "God I love you so much. If it wasn't for you I would be gone." He clutched your back as your tears wet his sweater. You looked up at him "What do you mean?" He shook his head and pulled you back into the hug. He was avoiding answering my question. What did he mean by "gone"? Would he run away? Or worse?
