Every Time, It's Still You [TaeHyung]

[EXTRA] "I'll Protect You"

[EXTRA SCENE continued] lol I guess it isn't an extra scene then?
"I'll protect you" (TaeHyung POV)

I don't know how to react to this. I've never had anyone cry like this before. Her heart was beating hard, her body was cold.

I hugged her tight, trying to transfer my heat to her. I patted her back softly, trying to slow her heart a bit. Ah, I'm so useless in these situations.

What should I do? What do other people do? When I was younger, when I cried, my grandmother would sing to me. Singing! I can sing! I'll sing anything and everything for my MoonByul.

I started singing, the song that came to mind. An old one. 2!3!

"It's okay, come on, when I say one two three, forget it"

I wanted to sing it in English but my mind was so unfocused from panic, I just sang it in Korean.

"Erase all sad memories, hold my hand and smile"

Her heartbeat calmed. Her cold body was now warm. I looked down at her.

"I'll keep you safe my love." I told her. "I'll protect you with my life."

Her head was against my chest. Her face was up, her forehead touching my neck. Her eyes were closed and her mouth slightly open. She was breathing out her mouth since her stuffed nose wasn't letting her.

She was asleep. Snoring lightly.

I can't let her be alone. I pulled her arms up, resting them on my shoulder. She instinctively wrapped them tight.

I stood up, holding her tightly. Her light body was no hindrance. I walked out of the building, waving over a taxi.

I got in, asking him to take us to my dorm. In the taxi, I didn't put her down, holding her tight in the same position the whole drive.

No one was at the dorm since they were still at the recording. I walked into my room, gently laying her onto my bed. I tucked her in and headed to the bathroom. I pulled out a towel and soaked it in cold water.

I brought it to MoonByul, laying it over her eyes and forehead. I don't want her to wake up with a headache.

After a few minutes of cooling her head down, I laid down next to her. I laid on the side of the bed that wasn't against the wall so she wouldn't fall over in her sleep.

She was frowning in her sleep, she must be having a bad dream...

I flipped her to her side, tucking my arm under her head and holding her close. I could feel her breath against my neck.

What should I say to her in the morning? What should I do? How will I help her? Can I even help her?

I thought and thought until I fell asleep. Never letting go of MoonByul.
