Taehyung POV

"think of a flower. the most beautiful flower you can imagine. picture someone watering the flower and giving it love. now watch as that flower wilts away. it wilts into nothing but a rotted heap of cells. that is all humans are. a heap of cells. so when we live are we seen as beautiful, just like those flowers? or are we seen as monsters, the monsters that poison those flowers?"

i stared at her in awe. how could one person have such philosophical thoughts? she was perfect, at least in my eyes she was. everything about her i adored. the way her eyes crinkled when she smiled, the dimples around her lips that showed while she ate, the way she would stick her tongue out slightly as she read, or how her hair blew beautifully in the wind like the waves of the sea.

"the only flower i see here is you," i smugly stated. she hit my shoulder playfully and laughed her beautiful laugh. it was music to my ears.

jimin played with his fingers before glancing over at me. we exchanged looks of sorrow. we both knew she would never be ours. she would never willingly give her heart to one of us. everything was still perfect in our eyes, though. as long as we were able to spend time with her.

"hey babe," an annoying voice called from behind us. i turned to see her boyfriend. the one that would ruin her. he would, i just knew it. somehow he would be the one to finally take away her smile, he would be the one to push her over the edge. instinctively jimin wrapped an arm around her shoulders and i pushed closer to her side.

"hey," she replied cutely. her gaze softened as she looked at him and she opened her arms for a hug. he hesitated, but accepted it and lifter her into the air while twirling her around in circles before putting her down.

they continued to do couple things for around 10 minutes until he stated he wanted to take her out. they said their goodbyes and we said ours. it was just jimin and i.

"i have a bad feeling about this," i gestured to his car as it drove away.

"i think you're just jealous." jimin retorted annoyingly.

"no, jimin, i honestly have a gut feeling that something bad is going to happen."

"don't worry about it, i'm sure it's nothing. just your hormones or something."

i began to sulk and nudge the gravel with the end of my shoe. jimin grabbed my arm and started dragging me to my car.

"keys." he simply stated. i handed him my keys and plopped down in the passenger seat. jimin began driving as i stared blankly out the window. i can't help but think of her, her safety, and her dumb boyfriend. as i began to feel sleep overcome my senses, the thought of danger still burned into my brain and thoughts.
