-TAEHYUNG'S POV-
__________________________

"Get ready, Y/N." I said, "We're going out."

She nodded, "And what about you?"

"I'm going home to quickly change, so once I get back I expect you to be showering." I said, grabbing my keys.

"Okay." Then, she rushed into her room, as I headed out. "I'll be back very soon!"

★★★

I changed into some comfy clothes, and then I went into my mom's room to check on her. "Mommy?" I whispered.

"Tae? Where have you been? And why aren't you at school?" My mom exclaimed as she basically jumped out of bed.

"I slept over at a friend's house, and to answer your second question, we didn't feel like going, so anyways," I said, "How are you holding up, mom?"

"I'm feeling better, I'm glad... he's gone." She said, and looked down.

"And glad we don't ever have to see him again.. he abused you, mom." I said, and leaned in to hug her tightly.

"I'm just glad it's over now.."

"Mom, I have to go.. will you be okay by yourself?" I asked, feeling selfish to leave her again.

"I'll be fine.. but, will you be back before dinner?" She asked.

"Absolutely."

"I'll see you later, mom." I said, as I kissed her cheek. "Be safe, hun."

I headed out of her room, grabbed my keys, and went out to the car.

Once I got in, I drove off.

I entered her home, and was expecting her to be still in the shower, but my expectations were proven wrong. "Well, hello Tae." Y/N said, as she came out of her room all ready.

As I saw her outfit, I blushed a little. She looked so pretty in such plain clothes, she also applied a little bit of makeup. "I guess, we should go now." I said.

"Just let me grab my phone." She said, and rushed into her room.

I went over to the counter, and leaned my arm on it. She came back out, "Oh, and Tae?"

I hummed, turning my head over to her, before I opened the door.

"I need to buy, uh.." She fidgeted with her fingers, "..t-tampons.."

I chuckled. I forgot girls have periods.

"Yeah, okay. It's that special time of the month, isn't it?" I asked, and giggled. She nodded, flustered.

"It's okay, you don't be to be all embarrassed. I understand." I said, placing my hand on her head, and started caressing it.

"Let's go."

★★★

We had drove to a gas station for more gas, and for Y/N's needed tampons. And for myself, I had bought gum.

Once we were both back into the car, we drove off to go to the huge mall a couple hours away. It was a car drive of funny jokes, singing to the music on the radio, and just talking. Her laugh was so cute, that every time she laughed, I would get all red.

"Tae, hit the highnote!" She exclaimed. I remember listening to this song, wow. Just wow.

As the note was coming, I prepared myself by clearing my throat. "Ready?" I said, and chuckled.

"Ahh!!~" I sang, and continued finishing the rest of the song.

"Wow. You had no trouble doing that, and plus, you're such a great singer." She said, as she looked at me, amazed.

"I'm not that good, but thanks for the compliment." I said, and chuckled.

"Excuse me? Like, how come you aren't a singer? You could be so popular! You have the good looks, amazing voice, and you're a fascinating person! Like, seriously, now I question myself why you aren't a singer. You could be so good at it." She said, and went on.

I simply rolled my eyes, "Even if I wanted it, it wouldn't ever happen."

"You can't- shouldn't say that."

"Why not?" I asked, and slightly smirked.

"Because, you never know what may happen in the future, you might actually get an oppurtunity to do something so big. Important." She said.

"Y/N, give me your hand."

She placed her arm on the center console, I slowly intertwined my hands with hers, "Is this ok-" "Yeah, it's fine."

"Y/N.." I started, "Think about what you said. Why don't you tell yourself that?"

"There's lots of things you can do in life. So, why don't you tell yourself that?" I asked.

I look at her for a few seconds, before focusing my eyes on the road.

"Well.. believe it or not, fate has decided what I should do and be." She said, quietly, "My fate is to be alone, and just be alone."

"Well, realize it or not, you're not alone, Y/N. I'm here with you-" I tightened the grip slightly, "-we're here, together."

She released my hand, and then placed her own on her lap, "You're gonna leave." She said, and looked out of the window, "Just like everyone else did." She mumbled.

"Y/N.. what's wrong? We were perfectly fine earlier.."

"It's just, I feel.." She inhaled deeply, and then exhaled. "I feel like I'm just-" Her voice started shaking. "-not worth it. Not w-worth anything.. n-not even w-worth to l-live.." She said, with a few tears running down her cheeks. "I know.. I-I look r-really stupid com-complaining abo-about this." She sobbed, then, she started hiccupping.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm here, just let it out. Complain about anything, I'll listen. I'll help you, because you're my best friend."
