Jin's POV
After a few more days, I was discharged and Jimin told me that I should rest more and I shouldn't stress my self out.
I'm with Taehyung right now, I still can't believe that he is here beside me again. In a span of a few days he never left my side and made sure I was well taken care of. To be honest, I surely feel loved now than I did two years ago , but still I'm being eaten by my insecurities. I try hard to bury them but my mind keeps on reminding me that I do not deserve all of these things that Taehyung is showing me.
"Jinnie, are you okay? What are you thinking?"
"Nothing I'm just tired." I just said that I am tired so he won't ask anymore questions. "I want to go to bed, Tae."
He immediately complied and assisted me to my room.
"I'm going out now, Jinnie. I'll be right here in the living room. Just call for me if you need anything, okay?"
I don't want to be alone now, I never really wanted to be left by myself after that incident. I always feel in danger. But now, Taehyung is here. Maybe I can just ask him. He won't know right?
I'm also contemplating if I should tell him my truth. I know I should tell him but I'm afraid.
"Tae, will you stay beside me please. I miss you."
I need not to ask twice. He settled beside me and we are facing each other. I really missed this, I missed his presence. I snuggled close to him and he then wrapped his arms around me.
To me, it felt like a long time since I felt safe and secured, but with Taehyung it's easy for me to feel at ease. I usually tremble when somebody touches me but of it is him, I don't feel the same way. His presence immediately calms me down.

Taehyung's POV
Jin fell asleep in my arms. It feels nice to see him smile again. I still caught him spacing out sometimes as if deep in thoughts but those moments are quite rare now and I think that is a huge progress.
We are still searching in every club that Jin might have went to, that day. But we are searching in vain, both me and Namjoon are clueless. Jin won't say a word to me about his situation and he would also not tell Namjoon no matter how he persuade Jin.
Jimin told us not to stress out Jin and let him to open up to us. And that is what I'm doing. I'm taking things slowly even if I wanted to put those fuckers to jail. I don't know how to make Jin open up to me but I'll wait.

Today is Saturday and I asked Jin to go out with me. We went to our favorite restaurant. We were happily eating when my co-worker approached our table.
"Taehyung? Is that you?"
Jin and I looked at her.
"Oh, Lily hi. How are you?"
I greeted her and we talked for a while. I introduced Jin to her.
"Can I join you guys? I'm alone and I happened to see you. Well, that is if you want me to join you." She asked us.
Before I can say no, Jin already has decided.
"Of course you may. Sit beside Taehyung."
I wanted to protest but I don't want to be rude so I kept my mouth shut.
How can he do that? It's our time together and now it won't be as intimate as I thought it would be.
I never really hated Lily, but right now I want to wring her neck and throw her out of here.
The dinner went smoothly as I would say. The three of us never really talked that much. I don't want to talk at all. I'm pissed. One, because Jin and I is interrupted and another thing is he always go to the fucking bathroom. And each time he goes there it would take him forever to return.
Is he doing it on purpose?
Thankfully, the night ended and we went our separate ways. When we got home, since I'm staying in his apartment I ask him the question that lingers in my head for quite a while now.
"Jin, are you doing that on purpose?"
He looked at me with furrowed brows and gave me a questioning look.
"Doing what?"
"Why would you agree to have Lily join us for dinner, it's supposed to be just us and no one else."
"Is it bad to be nice? She's alone."
"And why would you go to the bathroom for 20 minutes and you did it twice! Why are you doing that? It is supposed to be you and I, but you are leaving me to her. What are you trying to say!?"
"WHY? BECAUSE I WANTED YOU TO HAVE SOMEONE BETTER THAN ME. WHEN I SAW HER, I CAN SEE IT THAT SHE HAS A THING FOR YOU. SHE LIKES YOU! AND WHEN COMPARED TO ME I'M NOTHING. I WANT YOU TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE MISSING OUT BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH ME!"
He kept shouting at me telling me I deserve someone else and not him.
"No! You are enough. I made a mistake of leaving the best person in the world before, and I'm not doing it again. Please, don't do this to me."
I can't take it when he pushes me away and thinks less of himself. I pulled him to me and kissed his lips.
I want to convey what I feel through this. Jin responded to my kisses. The kiss went from gentle and sweet until it becomes deeper. We stayed like that for a wile until I pulled away and looked to his eyes.
"Don't ever think of pushing me away Jinnie, because I'm here to stay."
