« Too scared to fall for you »

【구】【름】

Laying on my bed at 7am on a weekend. Just staring at the plain wall, glancing at my phone from time to time.
Was he alright? How is his relationship with his father? Is him and Seokjin hyung okay?
Then I heard a buzz.

New message from "Kookie"

Kookie
Sorry for bothering so early, I just need to talk to someone..
I'm painting outside.
I clenched my chest.

You
Don't worry.
It's never too early for you.
I was just about to go on a walk too!

Kookie
Well, why are you up so early?

You
We can talk about it there, you know.

Kookie
Aha true lol

7:17

No, I wasn't really going to go on a walk on this semi-sunny day. But, I grabbed boxed milk and my fluffy jacket on my way out. I couldn't wait. Then my phone just had to ring.

"Sorry for the early call Taehyung... but I was wondering if you could work at 9?"
Not the time.. but he's done way too much for me.
"Of course hyung. What happened to Namjoon hyung?"
He fell silent for about 5 seconds. I heard breathes coming from the other end.
"H-hyung? Are you crying?"
Silence.
"Hyung? I'm coming right now.."
Then he began to speak.
"No, just wait. I'll tell you when you come later. Again, sorry."
He was the one to hang up in the end. I guess he wanted to avoid my questions. Or was that only me?
As I walked across I saw a shrunken figure sitting in front of an easel, it's him. I swear. I go up to poke him and received dead eyes. There was barely any life in them anymore. He looked at me like a lost puppy. By instinct, I cupped his bruised face.
"Heavens! What happened?! Did you tell Seokjin hyung? What a-about your p-parents?"
He then smiled. I wasn't sure why. He is hurt, he is everything I know I wouldn't want.
"Y-yeah hyung. Please don't tell Jinjin please.. I don't want to add to any of his problems."
That hit me. I instantly missed my family back in the country. Missed the comfort of the hugs I got from fellow relatives. But in his case, this was different.
"Come with me."
I grabbed his easel in one hand and grabbed his arm in the other, he's hurt. The sun started to peek out or maybe it was only his smile. I don't know.
"W-where are we going hyung? Are you going to kidnap me?"
I wasn't sure if he was kidding but he seemed pretty serious.
"No don't w-"
"Because I wouldn't mind."
I stopped running toward my apartment. Time stopped in the middle of the parc, it was empty. Nothing but him, my heart going bboom bboom. My lips were numb, simply because I didn't know how to feel.
"So, please. Just take me away somewhere."
I nodded hesitantly and looked forward, feelings his bright smile digging into my back as we reach my door. I open the door to my apartment and place the easel down along with Kookie on the couch. I ran to the fridge for a second and put ice in a plastic bag.
"Ah! That's cold hyung..!"
Applying it onto his face laughing a little bit. I didn't know where this was going but it was nice. Then I remembered work.
"Kookie. I'll take you away somewhere."
His eyes glowed up. I loved the view.
"Really? Where?"
His energy gives me life. His smile, his everything.
"Actually you're already there."
He tilted his head cutely and then pouted when he couldn't think of anything. Then I fit my hand into mine and place it on my chest.
"In here."
Probably the cheesiest line I've ever said in my whole eternity but it was true. I love him, as a friend of course. More or less, a brother. Before I could stand up I felt a pair of soft lips on my forehead.
"Thank you. That's the cheesiest thing someone has ever told me.. ahaha."
His laugh. I couldn't stop smiling. But I continued applying the ice to his bruises on his cheeks. We were about 2 inches apart. Part of me wanted to move closer, part of me didn't. Getting attached, the worst.
"Hyung, do you like Jimin hyung?"
I froze.
"You do."
"I didn't."
I finally answered after a long minute of silence.
"I loved him."
The paused returned. I was looking down as about 2 minutes passed by of birds chirping.
"I'll help you move on-"
"I already hav-"
"Stop lying to yourself. Your world isn't even half as bright as it was when he was there for you, only you. I'll bring that light back. Trust me."
His rough painter hands fit into my hands. His deep eyes pierced through my innocent eyes. It is indeed everything.
"Thanks Kookie.. well I have to get ready for work! Do you want to stay or come?"
    His deep eyes turned into worried ones. But deep down he knew he had to tell Seokjin hyung one day.
    "Hmm. I'll come. But first, can we drop by the hospital?"
    This confused me a little. But I nodded.

"If that'll make you happy."
