The Boy In Black - A BTS Fan Fiction

Forget-me-not

*TIME SKIP (2 MONTHS)*

After what felt like ages Aeryn was finally flopping on her and Namjoon's overly large sofa. Aeryn felt like she had been pushing boulders up hills, only for them to be knocked down again. She had spent so much time on focusing on her upcoming training at BIGHIT she had not only forgotten her mothers anniversary but also her fathers. She felt a wave of heat radiate her body, as memories of her old life resurfaced. Overcome by emotions and mixed in with tiredness, Aeryn felt warm tears fall from her face; gravity dragging them to rest peacefully on the sleeve of her sweatshirt. Soon enough faint sobs followed, causing Aeryn to curl up into a tiny ball in an attempt to muffle them from the sleeping idol upstairs. 

The sound of crying down stairs caused Namjoon to stir. Heavily he made his way down the aged wooden steps. As soon as he rounded the corner his eyes fell upon his girlfriend scrunched into the tiniest ball possible. Immediately he went to her, his hand on the small of her back in an attempt to clam the distressed younger. With his other hand Namjoon removed the hair from her face so he could see her clearly, but as soon as he reached towards her she flinched away as if the boys touch was dangerous. "Don't touch me." The younger hissed. Hearing this Namjoon slowly backed away, soon at the opposite end of the sofa. "Aeryn, whats happened? You can talk to me. You know you can." The boy reasoned, trying to find the softest voice possible. "No. No i can't. I need to go now and you need to not follow me." Aeryn cautioned as she began to stand up from the sofa and wipe of the tears that had come to make her face stiff. "What are you talking about? You don't need to go anywhere, at-least not at a time like this." Namjoon claimed making a swift gesture to the clock that rested against the shelf. "Please just don't follow me. You won't understand why i am going where i'm going to right now. We both knew this wouldn't work anyway." Aeryn spat, practically whimpering the last part. Before Namjoon could even react he heard the front door close and a gust of cold wind replaced the person that had just exited the room.

As Aeryn ran away from the apartment she felt her chest get heavy and her legs growing weaker. For awhile she had stopped run and began to walk the narrow dirt track that slithered around the outskirts of Seoul, but the idea of Namjoon and his friends looking for her emerged and she began to sprint instead. The girls eyes focused on the parting that the path created in between the trees, she focused on the way white specks of light littered the sky like a swarm of insects, she focused on the way the moon shimmered in the reflection of puddles she had run through and she focused on how much her parents would have loved to see this tiny slither of peace in a world that seems to be full of unluckiness for her family. Her mind was packed full of thoughts so beautiful she wasn't looking where she was going and tripped over an exposed tree root; a sharp pain sliced through her shin and knee, soon coupled with the feeling of warm liquid flowing down her leg. Ignoring the urge to hold it in pain, she got up and chose to walk the rest of the way, the view of things slowing getting easier to see with the sun teasing on the horizon.

Panic washed over Namjoon as he reveled in the thought of what could be happening to Aeryn. Unable to bare the thoughts of her like this alone he called all of his friends, first apologizing for how early he was calling them and second begging them to help him find her. Yoongi was the first to appear on the boys doorstep, soon after the rest followed. At Namjoon's request everybody gathered in the living room so they could hear what had happened. After telling them the whole story he felt his eyes glass over and as he looked around the room he saw the same expression over and over again. The face of confusion. Soon everyone was split in to groups and sent to look in different places. There was: Yoongi & Namjoon, Holly & Jungkook, Hannah & Taehyung, Milly & J-Hope.

 After about 5 minutes everyone had left except Namjoon and Yoongi. Namjoon had gone to fetch something from his room and not come back so the older went to check on him. When he came to the bedroom, rather than go in he hovered in to door way and watched Namjoon for a distance; so that he would  no be disturbed. Yoongi watched the younger pass his wallet from one hand to another, when he stopped doing that he opened the wallet up and pulled out a strip of photos him and Aeryn had taken in a photo-booth the day she and him were signed to BIGHIT. He then flipped the photo strip to see a very rough message in Korean scribbled on the back, 'Kim Namjoon is so handsome.', he smiled to himself as he remembered the day he had told you to write it and he remembered telling you it said 'let our love last long'. Swiftly he placed the photo strip back in to his wallet and just as he was about to the put the wallet away, he heard Yoongi's voice. "You ready to go buddy?" The smaller boy asked in a soft tone. "Yeah, let's go find her."
