His Butterfly

Chapter 44

"He's been like this all night. He woke me up when he started yelling but he just sits here calling for you and trembling with the occasional scream. The others are heavy sleepers so I don't expect them to wake up. The only thing I could think of was call you, you weren't sleeping were you?" He asked and all I got was screaming, me, others, heavy, and waking me up. I really need to study more. 

"It's okay, I'll go in first." I said and slowly opened the door to Taehyung and Jungkook's room. Tae was curled on his bed, blankets thrown across the room, and he was trembling. I approached his bed and he was mumbling something I couldn't make out. 

I moved his bangs from his forehead to check his temperature and he was quite hot. I felt his cheeks and neck realising he was sweating. I sighed and sat next to him. "Taehyung." I whispered to him and held his hand. He gripped onto my hand tightly and squeezed the life out of it causing me to whimper. "Tae, you need to wake up." I tired again, closer to his face. 

"Come one it's me Ren. Please wake up." I tried again. He stirred again but didn't wake up. "Taehyung. Please wake up. I want to see your beautiful face and your mesmerizing eyes." I tried knowing something like that might get into his brain. 

"Ren?" He called out again and I squeezed his hand. "Taehyung I'm here please wake up!" I begged starting to get a little sad. I put my hand on his cheek and I could feel a few small wet spots. I turned his face to where I could see it. 

He was crying in his sleep. I kissed his forehead to try to wake him up. 

"Please, wake up. Please." I leaned my forehead against his. I kissed the tip of his nose and I think that started to wake him up, he started to move a lot more than before. 

"Tae?" I asked. He let out a sob and started to open his eyes. 

"Ren." He was almost surprised to see me but cried even harder after he got over the fact that I was there. "I'm here, you're okay, I'm okay. We're okay, we're okay." I said and he wrapped me into his arms and pulled my down into a spooning position. 

I turned around to go look at him and he was still crying. "You left. You left me. You left this world. I felt like dying. It was horrible." He cried and placed his head in the crook of my neck. I stroked his hair to calm him down. 

"That won't happen, I won't leave you." I reassured him and he slowly stopped crying. I pulled his head away from my neck slowly and held his head in my hands. 

"Look, I'm here now. I always will be." I told him. He sadly gave me a smile and looked down. "Can you stay?" He asked and snuggled back into me. "Of course. I'm not leaving, I told you that." I said and I could feel him relax as I said that. 

After a while he fell asleep and I called quietly for Jungkook. "Yes noona?" He asked me from the doorway. "You can come to bed now. I'm staying here tonight so don't be scared. You need to sleep." I said to him and I heard him agree and go hop into bed. I sighed and told him goodnight. 

"Thank you for helping hyung, he really likes you, you know. Have a good night noona." He said and went to sleep.
