Taehyung could sense something more behind those words. He slowly turned his head at her and sat down beside her as he leaded on the wall behind. Chaeyoung still looked at the sky with a smile plastered on her face. He could say it was a pure smile, even her eyes smiled along her lips a

"Look at those stars, they are so pretty, don't you think so? We can't see those star if we were in Busan." She pointed to the star on the sky.

"You're prettier." He blurted out, his eyes were still locking at her pretty face.

She felt her heart skip from beating as she heard his compliment.

"Can I ask you something?" He asked her.

They were sitting beside each other and the space between them was actually small. They were so close to each other; however, they even sense each other breath in silence.

"I have opened up myself for, why are you never let yourself open to me?" He asked her.

"I was experiencing a lot of hard time after I break up with my ex-girlfriend. That time I promised to myself that I won't let any girl get inside this heart easily, but you still took my heart away after you left." He explained her.

"You know what? When you said that you're about to go on date with Jungkook after he asked me to set a blind date for you and him? I couldn't help but jealous. I just don't want any other men to get closer to you except me." He stopped a bit as he continued, "The moment I went into your room that time, I was about to talk to you about the incident happened when electric ran off, but I didn't expect that you sleep so early."

"When I was about to left, I heard that you asked me to stay. I was looking at your face with sweat on your forehead. That's time I told myself that to take care of you, and always be there for you no matter what. Because of you, I can smile sincerely, the smile that other people never saw it before, and the smile that I never expected it to be when I was with you." He finished his sentence while looking at her who was still in daze.

"What actually do you think of me, Chaeyoung?"

"Why?"

"Answer me first, Chaeyoung?" He sighed, "I'm sorry to ask you all those things when I'm not even close or special to you."

She closed her eyes for second. She could here his sighed again, "I can't help it, Taehyung. You seemed never think of me as your close friend nor your best friend, but now you tell me how special I am to you. What is this for?"

"You don't understand, Taehyung." She could feel the tears felt down from her eyes.

"Then explain me," he stated.

"Should I?"

"Only if your want to." Taehyung looked into her eyes for second before he finally looked away. He controlled his breath and licked his dry lips in disappointment, "I gotta go to sleep now, don't sleep too —." He said as he tried to stood up from his placed and walked away.

"I don't have a perfect figure dad, so that's why I don't trust in man easily." her words stopped him all of sudden, she straightened her eyes as she looked at Taehyung's wide back. "I have a trust issues with guys except my grandfather. I lived with them since I was young. My parents dead since I was two years old and I cannot probably remember their face. I always looked at their pictures and I always asked god a question of why. All people in the world, why me? My family was broken — no — even worse. My family was falling into pieces and no one can fix it."

He walked back to where the voice is from, and he sat back to the same place where he stood up and got away from.

"It was broken into pieces because of someone who once called himself as a father of me. It was broken because that you don't even know how bad does it haunted me every time when I saw their pictures. It haunted me every time, Taehyung." She couldn't speak more as the million tears flow on on her soft cheeks and she wiped awake quickly.

"Even worse that that is when I found out that my mom's dead wasn't an incident, but murdered by my own dad. After he killed my mom, he killed himself right after."

She bit her lips hard. Tears kept falling down from her eyes through her face. Her eyes were so red, so was her nose. No one knows how she has been suffering, even her grandmother. Taehyung was the first one, and not even Lisa.

"Once I was 8 years old, I heard my grandfather told my grandma about this and she cried so hard. He even told her not to tell me. Even if I hate him, he killed my mom, I still loved him, and visited their grave every time whenever I'm free. I always brought 2 bunches of flowers with me whenever I go there. He is still my dad after all."

The man who sat next to her didn't let any single word. He still looked at her in her difficult situations just because the cheerful and friendly girl broke into tears.

"You don't understand how broken I am inside. You will never understand how much I miss my mom until you see me cry, right? You don't know how much I hate and love him with every single hate feeling I have, yet you still asked me to open myself for you."

"Chaeyoung... I'm really sorry." He whispered to he ear.

She sobbed even harder. But this time, he brought her into his warm embrace and hugged her tightly. He patted her back lightly to make her feel safe in his embrace, so that she won't feel lonely anymore.

"I will always here for you, Chaeyoung."

They spent that night inside each other warm hug. For a moment they could feel like the world just for two of them. No one could separate them away, not even a thing.
