[Previously]

Taehyung nods slowly as he understands. He started to cry.
“May I hug you..?”
He whispers as he cries more.

Jihyun took a deep breath and didn't hesitate. He hugged Taehyung, squeezing him, a bit too hard.
He couldn't stop the tears.

Taehyung hugs back as he closes his eyes.
“Let it all out.. I’m your shoulder that I want you to lean on. I’m here for you Jihyun..”.

Jihyun held a grip onto Taehyungs arms. He started to get angry at himself, for all these emotions that were spilling out of him..
He hated it..
It made him feel..
Weak..

Taehyung gently rubs Jihyuns back. With his other hand he gently rubs Jihyuns hair. He hated the way Jihyun was crying, it just made him feel even sadder.

Jihyun sat on Taehyungs lap, crying into his chest. He was pulling Taehyung closer, feeling protected..

Taehyung tightened his grip in Jihyun, like he never wanted to let him go.
He loved the tiny boy in his arms. He would destroy the whole world for him..

Jihyun was breathing calmly.. He felt.. What he had always really felt when he let Taehyung hug him.. Warm and comfortable..

Taehyung gently rocks the both of them back and forth.
“I’m so proud of you.. so so proud.”
He says quietly but truthfully.
He’s been through so much.. He deserves the world.

Jihyun looked up at Taehyung, his eyes filled with color after so long.. He smiled softly..

But it then disappeared quickly..
'Such a weakling..'
He thought to himself.

Taehyung looks at him. Almost like he read his mind.
“Your not weak. At all. Don’t even think about how your weak or something like that. You are the most strongest person I fucking know. You're way stronger than me as well..”
He whispers.

"I'm too used to believing it, Taehyung... "
Jihyuns eyes lost its color again, his skin becoming pale..

Taehyung gently pecks his lips.
“Y-your so fucking beautiful. I’m still holding that promise Jihyun. One day you will look yourself in the mirror and say ‘I am beautiful’. You're so brave. So. So. So So. Brave. You’ve been through devil shit and you still made it out alive.. “

"Mm.. "
Jihyun still didn't believe.. He yawned softly.

Taehyung looks at him and sighs quietly.
“Are you tired..? I will let you sleep...”
He whispers.

"N-No I'm fine.. "
Jihyun looked to the side.

Taehujng nods slowly.
“You won’t leave... right?”
He bites his lip.

".. It's the only thing that truly satisfies me.. I want to go.. "
Jihyun bit his lip

Taehyung stays still for a bit and let’s go of the air in his lungs.
“T-thats it, right? You won’t come to visit me or anything. You’ll just leave?”
He says shaking slightly.
