27 // It's Not About The Question

~Min Shinhye's POV~

Taehyung and I came home from school. I hung up my coat and walked straight into my room to change. I changed into one of Taehyung's hoodies that were hanging in my closet. I also put on a black headband and leggings. I walked out of my room at the same time as Taehyung and he looked at me, hearing me close my door before he did and he bit his lip, staring at me. I grew uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Is there something on my face?" I asked, placing both hands on my cheeks. He shook his head. 

"I love it when you wear my clothes, you look cute in them," he said, I took my hands off my face and he kissed my forehead, I slight blush crossed my face. He sat on the couch and I joined him. 

"Shinhye... if that guy hadn't shot you, would you have told me about your past?" he asked me, I froze. I looked up at him and I jolted slightly, noticing him staring down at me with a blank expression on his face. I gulped as I looked away and towards the TV, which was off at the moment. 

"I believe it would've happened later, if not any sooner," I said, "But I reassure you, it would've come out eventually."

"But... would you actually tell, or would something had to force you to tell me?" he asked again and I felt sad, would he still love me if I answer honestly? Would he hate me if he found out if my answer was a lie and I would've kept it to my grave? Would he understand why I hid it from him?

I tried to answer but I couldn't find the words. 

"D-Do you not trust me?" I began to tear up. 

"I do trust you, but... but I wouldn't have said anything," I mumbled, he didn't say anything and I couldn't bear seeing his face, "I would've preferred to have forgotten about that part of my life and I almost did before all of this, I was happy. Now my life is all screwed-" I began crying and was crying really hard. But Taehyung grabbed my face and began wiping my tears away with his thumbs.

"Hey, it's okay Shinnie... it's just a question that's all-"

"It's not about the question it was about your answer!" I raised my voice, shouting unknowingly, only crying some more and turned my head away from him, "... I was worried that if I told you, you would hate me and you would leave me and I love you too much to let you go and-" Taehyung placed his lips on mine. At first, I was shocked and then closed my eyes, enjoying the moment. I opened my eyes when he pulled away. 

"Shinhye, I love you too much to hate you," he said, "Was I upset- yes, I was- but when I thought about it more as you got surgery, I realized that hating you wouldn't do anything because, in the end, I would only come back to you... I love you, and you are the best thing to have ever happened to me." I was shocked by his words and I stopped crying. 

"I... I-I'm sorry that I put you in so much danger." I replied.

"As long as you're with me, I'll go through this a thousand times over." I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him.

"Thank you, Tae."
