Tomorrow, still Today| (Kim Taehyung)

Nocturnal Skies (Part 2)

-"... Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs..."- Part 2

I hear the door open and my heart leaps as I immediately remember. Opening my eyes slowly, my breath hitches lightly, as it's completely dark but I know exactly, who this person is, making it's way towards my side.

"Sana..."

She doesn't stop until she's right next to my bed, only then I can see the apologetic look in her eyes. I want to ask 'what's wrong?' but I notice Namjoon standing in the door frame.

My eyebrows furrow as I look into Sana's eyes.

"What... what-"

"Shh...", she whispers and her voice is shaking lightly which makes me want to ask her over and over again. 'what's wrong?'

Her eyes look scared into mine and I'm so confused. My gaze shifts to Namjoon who's still standing in the door and he nods at me silently.

Sana presses her hands onto my arms, asking me to stand up. I flinch slightly but I do it nonetheless, my eyes searching for hers.

"Taehyung... do you trust me?"

I flinch again and my breathing stops for a second.

"Taehyung, I am here to help you. I don't know anything about you yet, I don't know who you are. But there's one thing, I have learned, that is important to me. It's trust and honesty."

My eyes meet her glowing ones. There's another expression in them. Is it determination again?

"Taehyung, I want to be completely honest with you. That's why I told you all of this. And before anything, before you can even start thinking about trusting me", Her eyes soften, when looking at me, making mine almost soften too. Almost.

"I need to tell you, Taehyung, I trust you."

I swallow at that. Why? Is she crazy?

I don't even trust myself.

She shouldn't trust me.

She smiles another faint smile before turning forwards again.

"I'm looking forward to hearing your story, Kim Taehyung."

My eyes widen at the memory and I can see in her eyes, that this was her intention.

She wants to hear my story now. And I don't really know what to do about it. This is my story, my secret. My memories, they belong to me.

Am I ready to show them to anyone?

There's silence. But it's fine.

"I trust you, Sana", I whisper silently, my head dropping onto hers. I let our foreheads meet when I see a tear escaping her eye. She smiles a little and her hands soften on my shoulders.

I trust you, Sana. More than I would like to.

"Let's go then...", she whispers silently back and takes my hand into hers as we walk out of the door, Namjoon following us with a hint of a smile on his lips.

--------------------------------

"A-are you ready?", my voice is shaking like mad and I feel like breaking out in tears everytime as I look at Taehyung.

I want to see, more I want him to see. But I don't want to hurt him. I know what's coming and I know, deep down, he knows it too.

But Taehyung sits there, right in front of me and gives me a quick smile, one after a month. It fails to calm me and I just want to cry even more but when I look at Namjoon, standing right next to me, he gives me a small nod and a reassuring smile.
