I'M NOT LEAVING

- in which you are in an abusive relationship that you can't seem to get out of and, despite his worries, you keep everything hidden from your best friend, taehyung

Taehyung can barely remember what his life was like without you.

As cheesy as it sounds, it's true. You've been by his side since the two of you were five years old and whenever he brings this fact up, he always finds himself confused as to why he can't even recall milestones from before that time.

He guesses it's because of how much of an impact you've had on him.

Before you, he was a quiet child that opted for staying indoors and minding his own business. His parents didn't know if they were to be concerned or not; his behaviour seemingly odd for one of a child but he simply didn't find enjoyment in being loud.

So, of course, you can imagine his distaste towards the idea of kindergarten.

Upon reluctantly entering the brightly decorated room, he concluded that he was going to hate every minute of this day and the many more to come. He solely believed that—even going as far as to keep a stubborn frown on his face—until you sat next to him at lunch with a knowing look on your chubby face.

Maybe it was your kind smile or the look in your eyes that told him you could be trusted that drew him to you because the very next day, he was glued to your side, quite content with not leaving your side until absolutely necessary.

His parents were elated with the news of him finding a friend with enough personality for the two of them. They had hopes that you'd rub some of your energy off on him and soon enough, you had done what they had wished; completely ridding Taehyung of his quiet personality.

He soon began to find himself enjoying the feel of the sun on his skin while your sweet laugh floated around him in the breeze, his own laughter unnecessarily loud.

However, there were plenty more things that changed within him.

As expected, it was around the time where he began taking an interest in the opposite sex; his desire for a girlfriend getting more and more persistent. It confused him a little as most of the girls he took an interest in would drift further and further away from him with every comparison he made in between them and you.

He couldn't quite figure out why you were the first person he thought to compare them to. For some reason, your face would pop up in his mind when he would think about what the perfect girl would be for him.

Now, when it comes to answering the question as to why you're the perfect girl, Taehyung has no trouble in listing off his favourite things about you.

For starters, your laugh makes him feel warm inside, even when he literally feels like his entire world is falling apart. You look great in everything you wear, even if it's just a pair of sweatpants, an old hoodie and no makeup. He loves how you treat his place like it's your own; your second home as you so fondly refer to his tiny house as. He adores the little sparkles in your eyes that look breathtaking when they catch the light and he couldn't bare to live without your smile inducing hugs.

There was no more denying it; Taehyung had—and still has—the biggest crush on you.

It should be fairly easy for him to just sweep you off your feet with an elaborate way of asking you out on a date but something big stands in his way; a factor that he wishes would just fall off the face of the earth, never to be seen again.

He goes by the name of Dongwoo and he is your boyfriend of eight months.

Taehyung can't lie and say that it didn't hurt when you had so excitedly told him about your boyfriend because it did, badly. He had to keep a soft smile on his face for the remainder of your visit, only so that it wouldn't risk the chance of ruining your mood and wiping that glowing smile off your face. But, once you were gone, he curled up into a ball on his bed and cried for all the opportunities, the memories and—most importantly—the girl that he lost.
