Diary of The Infinite

64| Void

He met me right where I told him to. In a park an hour from Beginning's house. He wore the same angry expression, just slightly worn out. His baseball cap was backwards, it was dark out anyway. His arms were crossed and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. I could hear his angry thoughts swirling around in his head. There was so much to sort through. So much anger.

Wordlessly, I let myself appear behind him, in the shadow of a tree, the irony. I let my hands slide down his arms. They tensed and he moved to face me. I gripped his arms tightly, locking him in place.

He needs to remember me.

"End, I'm here." I whispered softly.

He started trembling, I could see myself in his mind. The shadow of comfort. But that's all I was. He'd never seen me. My head rested on his shoulder. I breathed in the familiarity of him and I wanted him to calm down. But he was nervous, angry, confused.

He kept thinking about Beginning. I didn't want him to think about Beginning. I wanted him to think about me. I drew us further back into the shadows before I let him face me.

"Void," End breathed. "Is this real?"

"What do you think?" I whispered, and I pulled him against me.

I could hear his thoughts, they pushed at me and pulled me in. He was torn. I felt guilty for confusing him, but at the same time I couldn't bring myself to let go of him. End was mine. I needed him.

He thought of his argument with Beginning. The one caused by Hoseok. He didn't know it was me. He thought they were together. I let him, I didn't correct him. I didn't tell him that I was Hoseok.

I just pulled him further into the shadows, hiding myself from his sight.

His lips on mine was the right thing. It had to be, and I reclaimed his lips again. It was real, it was true. He was mine.

He mumbled something against my lips, something that sounded like Jimin. I felt the shock of it in my chest, twisting like a knife. End was pushing me back, gently.

"Void, I can't do this," he whispered frantically. "Jimin, he's my boyfriend and-"

"And I can see you argued End, you know you hurt him. Why can't you come back to me?"

I cut off his words but not his thoughts. His thoughts ran me through.

And I love him.

I stumbled away from him, his reaching arms. I heard him call me, but I was already escaping through the shadows. The only place he couldn't follow me.

My shadows.
