(Aiden POV)
I go into a sprint to start my usual afternoon run. Getting home from work at four and stretching in front of our house before starting.
Running always cleared my innermost thoughts and seemingly freed me from my outermost demons. From my father's rocky drawn-out divorce to my secret love affair with Taehyung, I felt like I was trapped in a cage with no one on my side.
My parents were so busy hating each other that my father's aggression was often taken out on me. Meanwhile Taehyung was starting to get sick and tired of my repetitive antics. Never letting my guard down.
He likes to call me his Juliet in a star-crossed love story.
I hate it when he does that.
I hated it because it was just another reminder we would never be together in public.
My heart starts to hurt and I run faster, trying to shake away the pain but it only hurt more as thoughts of Tae started to surface and fill my thoughts.
I lived for the moments when we hid behind closed doors and held each other close.
Running faster I think of his soft caress, his tender touch, his sweetest kiss, everything and it was so overwhelmingly obvious I stop, feeling like I'm about to vomit on the side of the street.
I stand in the middle of the Pont Alexandre III bridge and lean against the railing. Trying to catch my breath and stop my head from spinning.
"I don't want to do this anymore..."
I whisper to myself with tears in my eyes.
"I can't do this anymore,"
I repeat to myself and my eyes begin to water with a small smile forming on my thin lips. I sniffle a little and wipe the small tears away.
"Who cares if my father disowns me, he can't hold me back any longer! I'm no longer afraid. I'M IN LOVE WITH A GRAYSON SO DO YOUR WORST FATHER!"
I call out at the top of my lungs in the middle of this bridge with people staring at me like I'm a crazy fool.
And they were right, I'm insane but he drives me insane, he has me lovesick to my very core and I'm ready.
I'm done hiding.
I start running again, excited to announce to the world that Taehyung was mine and I was his and it would always be this way.
I start running as fast as I can, knowing that if I was quick enough I could catch him on his way home from work where I would rush straight into his arms completely unafraid.
Full of hope I continue racing through the cobblestone side streets. Finally reaching the busy street where the Grayson International Enterprises building is located.
I get there just in time as I reach the building just as Taehyung was walking out.
Only to realize he wasn't alone.
I stop dead in my tracks and find myself staring at him as he walks down the stairs holding another woman's hand and smiling at her. She blushes softly and laughs at something he says while pressing her head against his shoulder, they walk in the opposite direction.
I feel my knees get weak as I turn away from him running in the other direction.
Dropping shattered pieces of my heart with every step.
