Lost.

Taehyung's POV

It was now about nine in the morning and I had told Sky's sister, Heaven, that I would be heading out to the hospital to see Sky. I took the bus to get there because it wasn't close enough more me to just walk. 

I asked for what room I could find Skylar in and also asked if I could visit her, which she said I would be allowed to do. I eventually made it to the room she was in. I saw she had a broken leg and a few scratches here and then and on her face as well. She was still asleep, as she had been ever since yesterday.

I sat down on the couch next her, watching patiently at how she looked. I felt guilty, but relieved at the same time. 

I grabbed her hand and just waited there patiently, hoping she would soon wake from her deep slumber. 

"I'm so sorry for what I did," I said, "And for not having been insistent in figuring out who the Unknown dude was."

"It's okay."

I looked up and saw that she had just woken up. 

"No, it's not," I answered

"It's not your fault this happened," she answered

"Yes it is."

"But why did you save me? Now he's going to try to hurt you," she said, "You should've just let me die and protect yourself."

"I couldn't," I answered

"But why? You don't need me as a burden in your life," she replied

"You would never be a burden to me," I told her.

"Yes I would be," she said

"I did it because I was lost before I met you, Sky. I was such an idiot before you gave me that lesson. You taught me how to treat people properly, without being such a stupid bitch. You helped me learn that it was okay to do what I wanted to do without having to think what others thought about me. You taught me that being all tough wasn't the solution to making people respect me. You helped me become a softer person and be my true self," I said

"You learned that all yourself," she said

"Thanks to you," I answered

"But you could still be that person, just without me," she replied

"I don't think you understand. I'm not lost in myself anymore," I said, "I'm now lost in you, in your eyes, in your personality, in everything about you. You're like a maze I'm lost in, but I never want to escape."

"What you don't know is that this maze is dangerous and you should try to escape it to save yourself," she said

"No," I say followed by me standing up and heading towards the door

"Please just leave," she said

He words shattered me, but I only closed the door and turned around and headed towards her. I looked at her right in the eyes and then sat right beside her on the hospital bed.

"I don't know what to do without you," I said

"But-"

I cut her off by softly placing my lips on hers and slowly and gently moving them against hers. I softly cupped her cheek with my hand. Her eyes fluttered shut and, following her, I closed my eyes. Her hands, which had wires attached to them, reached to my neck. When I felt like I could no longer continue without a breath, I pulled our lips apart, but left my forehead resting on hers. 

"I love you," I said

"I love you too," she answered
