Jisoo stretched her arms as the breeze flew past her face. Feeling chills run down her spine. She looked at the distant fields, eyeing them carefully. White roses were stretched in a never ending line that it seemed surreal for her.

Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at the sun kissed plains, the wind blowing her hair in the air. Trees surrounded the large land, awe struck Jisoo like lightning.

The view was breathtaking.

She stood on a small hill, grinning wide. Taehyung was following up close behind. Lisa and Jungkook were busy setting up the tent in the distance. When Taehyung was finally standing besides her, she spoke, "Maybe coming here was not as terrible as I thought."

Taehyung smiled, "Jungkook dragged me into this as well so I feel you. Don't understand why we had to be his companions on the information he wanted to seek."

Jisoo simply shrugged, "He is full of surprises."

Taehyung looked at Jisoo, who had her mouth open a little as she let the beauty entrance her attention once again. She smiled from ear to ear, fascinated by the charming sight.

"This is too much beauty," Taehyung said.

Jisoo nodded in agreement as she started to take steps towards the fields, "I know right!"

Taehyung watched Jisoo's back move further away. When she wasn't in hearing distance, he murmured something.

"I wasn't talking about the view though."

✴✴✴

"This is so good! Didn't know you were so good at cooking!" Lisa addressed Jungkook as she continued stuffing her mouth with pasta.

Jungkook chuckled, "I'm flattered."

Lisa shot a small smile and carried on her eating activities.

They sat on the briskling grass, placing small containers with food on the ground and eating whatever pleased their likings.

Taehyung on the other hand, didn't even touch the food.

Jisoo silently ate her meal, but her attention was diverted towards Taehyung. One thing that she knew was that Taehyung was a huge foodie and would turn down anything just for free food.

After noticing his solemn expression, she nudged him. He yelped in surprise but then gained back his posture. Lisa and Jungkook were completely oblivious to their moment.

She leaned towards his ear, "Why aren't you eating anything?" She whispered.

Taehyung smiled and shook his head, "Just feeling car sick."

Jisoo gulped down his food and then turned towards him, "You should get some rest now." She smiled.

Taehyung sighed, arms wrapping around his own body, "I don't think I'll be able to sleep, just need some company I guess."

"I'll leave you and Jungkook alone then." She was about to get up when he hurriedly took her wrist in his hands, "Don't go."

Jisoo gazed at their hands, the skin flaming up immediately from where he touched her. "Okay," she softly said and sat back down.

For some reason, carsickness wasn't what seemed to be the problem. Jisoo didn't like how her lips were curled up into a frown. He seemed to be in another universe, contemplating something. He was caught up in his own daze that he didn't even bother letting go off Jisoo's hand.

Jisoo absolutely hated the sadness radiating from his figure. She didn't like how Taehyung was caught up in something but wouldn't burden his pain. It irked her how she couldn't help him, she was determined to make him smile.

"Taehyung, what's wrong?"

He shook his head, as if noticing the warmth of her hand, he immediately let go. Muttering a small apology.

Jisoo sighed, getting up. Without a word, her figure retreated.

Taehyung didn't waste a chance going after her, to talk to her. She was his medicine and he didn't like how even his medicine seemed to be distant.

"Jisoo!" He yelled, taking hurried steps towards her.

She simply ignored his presence, his beckoning and simply shrugged.

"I'll stop chasing you if you stop as well!" He yelled, panting from all the walking.

Jisoo let out an exaggerated sigh and agreed. Her steps stopped as her breathing got heavy.

Taehyung slowly approached her. His desires were to just grab her and embrace her in endless love. But he couldn't, he shouldn't.

"Why did you just leave like that?-"

"Why don't you ever tell me anything, Tae?" She whispered.

The sound of the crickets was filling the atmosphere, not a single word was uttered. They both hated the silences, the awkward pauses between them.

"I want to shelter you from my demons." He murmured.

She turned around, furrowing her eyebrows. "I told you, I'm here for you. Downright depression won't make me leave you Tae," she softly said.

"I know," he croaked.

Jisoo softened at his vulnerability and sighed, "I'm here for you." She reassured, still keeping a safe distance between them.

"I appreciate it Jisoo but I'm worthless, I won't be able to offer you anything in life except for a useless friendship."

Jisoo's eyes widened and she gritted her teeth in anger, "You're calling this friendship 'useless'?"

"That's not what I meant-"

"Stop telling me you're not worth my time! Stop saying you're just a broken mess! Stop thinking you're a burden on me! Stop it, just stop it!" She yelled.

"Jisoo-"

"No, don't ever think that I can't handle the emotions you offer! I care about your well being, I just want the best for you! I still have to see so many of your colours, I want you back on your original path. It doesn't matter how long it will take, but even it takes a lifetime, I'd still serve you what I can!" She croaked, holding back a sob.

Taehyung didn't say anything, his lips were pursed.

She bit her lip, "It doesn't matter if your demons want to break away from their cage to scar me. It doesn't matter if you get mood swings, it doesn't matter if I shatter in a million pieces. Because I care for you, Taehyung. I really d-do,"

Taehyung immediately widened his orbs, realization drawn on him that he had done something terribly wrong.

Jisoo quickly hid her face in the palm of her hands, turning around to hide herself from the claws of reality.

Taehyung cursed himself inwardly a million times. As if his spirit left his body, he felt empty. He had done something he never thought he'd do.

He had made Jisoo cry. And it was because she cared for him.

Hey guys!

That was some intense shit lol

Okay anyways, I was re-reading my story and I realized that there wasn't even a character development and it probably annoyed you all.

But I can promise you, there's a reason behind them both having caring sides for each other. It's just that, Jisoo knows it better.

P.s bp house has ended and I legit feel like whooping yg's ass. First he doesn't give us a comeback for a whole year and then takes away the reality show as well.

It would've been nice if it continued *sigh*

Oh and Taehyung is shocked at making Jisoo cry because I think we all know Jisoo doesn't easily cry. So her personality was corresponding to the story as well xD

Take care, love you all.
