The Stars

Taehyung Pov:

I'm hiding.

I don't want to seem weak, but here I am.

I'm currently at the same park, same bench, I told Jimin what I'm going through.

I snuck out, it's now 1:29AM.

I had another nightmare, they've been happening pretty often lately.

Jimin does a good job of cheering me up, but I'm still sad.

But anyways, I came here to admire the stars.

My mother used to show me the stars to cheer me up.

I've always found comfort from the stars when I was scared.

The way they shimmer against the dark night, the way they bring light along with the moon. Everything about them were calming.

I often find myself looking at the stars after the night terrors I get.

I felt the same stinging sensation in my eyes before my cheeks were greeted by tears.

I didn't want to bother him so here I sat, by myself, letting my tears free.

Luckily the stars were so mesmerizing, I forgot why I was here, sitting on this bench, on this chilly October night.

They were so mesmerizing that I almost forgot about the tears streaming down my cheeks leaving stains.

Its okay though, eventually it'll get better, at least I can believe.

Eventually the wounds would heal, even if the scars stay.

I sat there, admiring the beauty of the stars until it started to sprinkle.

The rain drops started mixing with my tears and the thunder roared.

Right away I felt fear come straight back to me.

The louder the thunder boomed threw the sky the quicker I ran.

I ran until I couldn't feel my legs anymore.

I arrived outside his house panicking from the thunder.

I've always been afraid of thunder, it reminded me of my father.

I opened the door to be greeted by a worried face.

"Where were you?" He asked

I was soaked from the rain, tear stains on my cheeks, and I was scared.

"I went to look at the stars" I whispered, not having much of a voice left.

Jimin sighed and wiped away some of the tears, which snuck their way out of my eyes.

The thunder boomed loud once again causing me to flinch.

"Your afraid of the thunder?" He asked his voice sounded concerned.

I nodded my head then the lightning crackled loud again, causing me to run into his arms.

"Your soaked" He whispered.

I nodded my head, I knew I was, I just ran in the rain.

"Go get changed I'll be waiting for you on the couch" He said, his voice soft.

I nodded my head and made my way upstairs.

I changed into a T-shirt and sweatpants.

I came back downstairs to see Jimin setting up the couch to sleep on.

He grabbed the huge pastel blue blanket and rested it on the couch, it was my favorite blanket of his.

He sat down on the couch and looked up patting the spot next to him once he noticed my presence.

I sat next to him, that didn't last long though, the thunder rumbled once again causing me to cuddle up to him.

"Its okay" He whispered while playing with my hair.

He reached over me grabbing the pastel blanket and wrapping me in it.

"See? It's safe" He said his voice calm.

The fear was still there, but it was mainly guilt now. He was obviously tired and I was just bothering him with my problems.

He yawned, but continued to play with my hair.

"Your hair is so lovely" He said

I've never really cared about my hair, I highlighted it with green to make it more noticeable, but I instantly regretted it, it brought a lot of attention to me, too much.

Maybe I'll highlight it again or even dye it since he said he liked it.

I felt so safe.

He stopped playing with my hair and snaked his arms around me.

Currently my face was buried in the crook of his neck.

"You can always talk to me if somethings wrong" He said his voice sounding soft.

"You trust me, right?" He whispered.

I nodded my head instead of speaking, my voice was gone.

I closed my eyes shut so no tears could form, at least I hoped shutting my eyes will stop them from forming.

The rain was still tapping on the window with occasional roars from the thunder.

If I had to use one word to describe the boy next to me, it'd be star.

He lights up my dark world.

He makes me feel comfort when I'm scared.

He's a star.
