Taehyung takes a deep breath as well and whispers.
"There you go, I'm so proud of you."
He says smiling a bit.
"I'm sorry for scaring you.. I understand what you have. I will respect your boundaries Jihyun. "

Jihyun whined again, looking up at the male.
"Wh-what are you talking ab-bout..? "
He licked the blood on his lip.

Taehyung slowly puts a tissue on Jihyuns mouth to wipe off blood on his lip.
“You have PTSD am I right?”
He whispers.

Jihyun looked down in sadness and nodded slowly

Taehyung smiles a bit.
“Hey, it’s okay. I had it too jihyun.“
He whispers and plays with his jacket sleeves.

Jihyun looked up at Taehyung immediately.
"Y-You did?? "

Taehyung nods gently.
“Mhm. I actually still have it.. just only a little.. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. It only means your a survivor”

Jihyun looked back down.
"B-but.. It's annoying.. "
Jihyun looked down at his hands.
"I want it to go away... "

Taehyung nods slowly.
“You can’t just get rid of your flaws. It may take time but it will soon go away. But never give up, because you are such a beautiful person Jihyun. “

Jihyuns face became a little pink.

Taehyung smiles.
“I made the pillow thing because you looked distressed but I didn’t know you had PTSD so I apologize for that”

Jihyun looked at Taehyung.
"N-no.. It's okay.. It's just hard for me to cuddle, be near someone or something in bed, or if someone hugs me.. "

Taehyung nods.
“I understand totally. Don’t worry.“
He says smiling.
“Do you want me to leave your room..?”

"I-i don't know.. I'm fine with you in here.. "
Jihyun smiled and bit his lip.

Taehyung nods and smiles.
“Alright..then I’ll stay with you. If you need anything I’m right here”

Jihyun went and layed on the bed again, curled up in a ball.

Taehyung sits on the floor, criss cross, and looks at the plane ceiling.
“May I know more about you?”

Jihyun didn't know what to say.
"Wh-why..? "

Taehyung bites his lip and blushes a bit.
“Well.. you just look like an interesting person.. so.. I wanna know facts about you..”

"Ask me a question then.."
Jihyun sat up and bit his lip

Taehyung thinks for a few seconds
“What’s your ideal date?”
He questions.
