Fallen Star || A Kim Taehyung Actor/CEO AU Fanfic

Chapter 11 - I Will Fix You

Vera froze in place, eyes wide and lips slightly parted. Slowly, she lowered her gaze to the dark-haired male lying in her arms, sprawled out across the floor and seeming lifeless. She swallowed thickly and then timidly called out, "T-Tae?"

There was no response.

"Tae?" She repeated, craning her neck as she tried to catch a glimpse of his face which was hardly visible to her considering that it was pressed into her thigh and half hidden by his hair. "You were alright just a moment ago ... what happened?"

Still, Taehyung didn't stir. He gave her no sign of having heard her, simply continuing to lie limp in her arms.

Vera felt an uneasy feeling grow in her chest. She didn't know what it was, but the feeling made her uncomfortable. She didn't like it.

"Taehyung, are you feeling sick?" She called out to the passed out male in her arms again. "Does something hurt? Or is it your bedtime? Are you asleep? Taehyung ... please answer me. Are you alright?"

But still, Taehyung was unresponsive.

"Tae, please respond," Vera begged, her voice becoming small. "I cannot do anything for you if you do not tell me what is wrong with you. Please, Tae ... I don't know what to do ... what should I do?"

Her hand shook as she moved it to gently brush his hair out of his eyes, still craning her neck as she looked at his face resting on her thigh. Taehyung's eyes were closed and his eyebrows were furrowed slightly, sweat gathering on his forehead.

"Oh," Vera uttered as she touched his damp forehead, quickly drawing her hand away and looking in shock between her damp fingers and Taehyung's face. "Oh my Sirius—Tae, just what is going on with you?" She asked his unresponsive body, worry colouring her voice. "What should I do? How do I help? Tae, please, wake up, okay? Please—oh, what do I do? What should I—Tae, what should I do?"

She was trying her best not to panic, but how could she not? This was her first time on Earth and although she had studied humans for a long period of time, there was still a lot she didn't know or didn't understand.

As Vera forced herself to remember what she had studied, her very first lesson on humans surfaced her mind. Her senior's words rang through her head in that moment: "Humans act strong, and yet they are one of the most fragile beings in the universe. They are very easy to break, both physically and emotionally, so be careful with your human when you go to Earth."

A horrible sinking feeling washed over Vera. She felt the same way as she had done when she was almost sucked into a black hole once. "I have broken my human," She mumbled to herself, staring down at Taehyung with a remorseful expression on her pale face. "I ... am a terrible star. I am so sorry, Tae ... "

She hooked her arms under Taehyung's and pulled his body up so that she could cradle him in her arms, one of her hands moving to thread through Taehyung's dark hair while the other arm looped around his back to support him. His head rested on her shoulder, his nose brushing against her neck as he breathed in and out lightly.

Vera looked around the corridor for a moment before deciding that she didn't like the prospect of staying there with a broken human in her arms, and so with quite some difficulty she stood up, pulling Taehyung to his feet. She supported him as best as she could, half-carrying and half-dragging him as she shuffled through the corridor towards Taehyung's room.

She stopped just outside of his room and looked over at Taehyung who was slumped against her side, doing her best to keep him upright as she said, "Tae, you told me not to go in your room without your permission but ... " Her gaze flickered down the hallway towards where her room was before returning her gaze to Taehyung and slowly shaking her head as she carried on, "I do not think I will be able to carry you to my room. I need your permission to go in to your room, Tae. Tae?"
