the radio plays soft songs that he chose so we could talk over them.
"yoongi, you've never elaborated on your father. i understand the cancer and the death but you never told me if i had observed correctly and i'm starting to gather that i didn't."
"i don't really like to talk about my father hoseok. he's one of the only things in this world that genuinely frightens me. but you're correct, you didn't observe correctly. he got shot. that's all i'm willing to give for the time being."
he puts his hand on mine, which sits on my thigh, and i look to him.
he's looking back at me.
"please don't try an-"
"i'm not. i'm not going to force you into anything if you're not comfortable. i've learned. don't worry."
he leans over and kisses me.
"i love you." he smiles.
the smile doesn't last long.
he wasn't looking.
the road wasn't supposed to be busy.

glass cuts him deeply and blood seeps from his beautiful tanned skin.
he's bent over the center console in a way that hurts me and the liveliness he usually possess leaves his eyes.

the horn blares then everything is still.
absolutely still.
