A wish | V

"Tell me a wish"

The sound of the sea waves crashing into rocks surrounded you. The dark night sky started to welcome the morning brightness and you could point out the yellow color on the horizon.

The breeze was cool, making the hair at the back of your neck stand. It calmed your heart, when you inhale the sea scent.

"A wish?" You repeated. Your eyes never leaving the breathtaking view.

"Yeah, I will do anything for you."

You inhaled again, feeling your lungs with the fresh air of the morning. "I want to live." You smiled and looked at Taehyung whose eyes filled with tears.

"I want to live, Taehyung-ah."

Sniffing, he looked away, at the horizon. "Who said you aren't going to live?"

You gulped the lump that stuck at the back of your throat, looking up at the sky. You weren't going to cry now.

The day Taehyung said he was going to take you for a trip, you knew he was saying his goodbye. He tried hard to hide it from you, always telling you it was going to be okay.

But you saw it in his eyes.

Sadness, grief and agony.

You knew what he was hiding.

Reaching for his hand, you took it in both hands, tightening your grip more around them. "Taehyung... I don't want to leave you."

"You said you are going to leave me." Taehyung shot a glare at you. It didn't show anger. His broken heart was all you could see in them.

"I'm not letting go of you."

"Then why?" Your hands tightened over his own. "Why did you bring me here? Are you sending me off, Taehyung?"

"Why are you keeping calling my name?"

"Taehyung, answer me."

"Why calling my name?" His eyes were more determined, hard and tough.

He couldn't understand. Ever since you met him a year ago, you kept calling him V and even after you told him about your problem, you wouldn't call him by his name.

Why now?

He was going crazy because of you.

"I'm scared I wouldn't be able to call you by your name." You smiled, letting go of his hand. "I like your name, Taehyung-ah. It's nice. It suits you."

He bit his lips as another tear cascaded down his cheek. Without realizing, your hand reached and wiped it away.

"What should we do, Taehyung-ah?" You asked, your hand caressing his cheek. "It does feel like a goodbye."

"I told you, it's not."

"You are a bad liar."

"I won't let go of you." He reached for your hand over his cheek and placed it on his lips, giving it a small kiss. "I won't let go of your hand." He stepped forward and pulled you toward him.

"I won't let you get a step away from me." His arms engulfed you and you buried your face in his shirt, wrapping your arms around him. "I won't stop holding you."

"Taehyung...." You whispered his name, your fist clenched on his shirt. He kissed your head, then your temple.

"You are going to live, so make another wish."

"I wish you find someone who is good enough to make you happy." You said, pulling away so that you could see his face. "Please, be happy, Taehyung."

"I'm happy when I'm with you." He recalled all your smiles, all your playful laughters and how you got along with his personality. You were the perfect girl for him.

"I want you to be happier with another woman." You said, letting go of him and stepped a few steps backward.

Taehyung shook his head and stepped forward. "Don't go."

"I don't want you to see me like this."

"DON'T GO." He shouted, closing his eyes. "I WON'T LET GO OF YOU."

"I don't want to be with you, Taehyung." Your tears found their way down your cheeks. You stopped and pointed at the sky. "From over there, I want to see you happy."

"Y/N..." His steps slowed, until he stopped.

The moment he stopped, your heart banged inside your chest. The day you feared came. You shouldn't have approached him. You shouldn't have loved him when you knew well that you would only leave him broken.

"I'm sorry Taehyung, I love you."

"I love you too, Y/N." He sobbed and his sight broke your heart but you could do nothing.

"Forget me... Live well." You turned around to leave. Taehyung should live happily.

Strong arms wrapped around you, stopping you from walking. Taehyung buried his face in your neck, whatever you did to break free he wouldn't let go so you just gave up and melted in his arms.

How could you ask him to stay away, when you could barely breathe without him around?

"Taehyung...."

"Since when do I listen to you?' Taehyung said and you smiled. It was true, he never listened to anyone.

"When it is the time to let go..." He gulped hard. "I will try to do that... But right now, you are here. And that's enough."
