Stage Two

• • G A H Y E O N • •

I woke up, finding myself sitting inside the van. It was midnight, and we were still driving to Daegu. I didn't think that it will take a long period of time to reach that place at all.

I opened my eyes and saw Hoseok, and Taehyung beside me, both of them were fast asleep, leaning at each other's heads.

I sat up, and checked if someone else was awake. I sat at the back of the van, so I can see pretty much everybody.
Well as expected, everyone was asleep except Yoongi and Jin who took turns in driving.

Supposedly only Jungkook, Taehyung and I will go to Daegu but I refused because no one knows what may happen to the others while I'm away. Like that traumatic thing we just experienced in Seoul– after that day I wasn't talking at all. I locked myself inside my room, feeling the regret and guilt I was put up to.

I felt responsible again; as if I was the reason of all these deaths.

But now, I will not let anyone get harmed as long as I'm here, even if it means to risk my life.

"Gahyeon?" I heard Taehyung call me out in a soft tone. He fluttered his eyes open, rubbing it as he yawned like a child.

I hummed in reply, still looking outside the window. "Do you feel okay now?" He asked. I saw in my peripheral vision that he was pouting his lips while looking at me.

"I don't exactly know right now, oppa," I said staring at the bright moon which looked beautiful as the stars complemented the sky. "I think I feel numb now since I'm kinda used to this kind of situation," I let out a bitter chuckle as I lean my head onto the window. "I'm horrible."

"You're not, Gahyeon. You're just having a hard time dealing with all of these crazy shit. ," He said, closing his eyes again as if he was planning to sleep again. "But Gahyeon..." He breathed, with a small smile on his face.

"Hmm?"

"Just remember, if you need someone beside you I'm always here to help. I understand your situation because I've been there."

"What do you m–"

"You guys are so noisy~" Jungkook groaned, as he glared back at us.

"You're just jelly because I can have a proper conversation with Gahyeon without making it an argument."

"No I'm not."

I watched the two bicker, as I plugged my earphones in. God, all I wanted to have is silence, and this is what I get. Nice.

I scrolled through my phone to pick a song. I decided to play Come Over by DEAN featuring Yerin Baek whilst ignoring the two. This kind of music is really something that helps clears my mind.

I hummed with the music as I looked out the window, once again. I observed the road ahead, there were barely any cars as we drove through the night. Well I'm not that surprised since it's already late.

My eyes were on the verge of closing while I was leaning my head against the window, until I heard a notification from my phone.
