Let Me Hold Your Hand

You win

Anusha's POV:

After I argued with Jungkook, I made my way towards the JUJ hotel.

I was working as a part-time waitress in the JUJ hotel.

We had quite a bit more customers than usual and not nearly as many staff. I was screwed out of my overtime service.

I was exhausted. I didn't get any time to rest! I'd worked my fingers to the bone! But I managed to leave a word to my mother about my OT so that she didn't get worried.

Time was already midnight! I thought incredulously. The bus stops running around 11 and I couldn't take a taxi because of my Amaxophobia! So I made up my mind to take a walk. That was a pretty easily walkable distance to get home from there

I was bone-tired. I'd worked my ass off. My stomach started growling.

I hadn't eaten anything since I'd got there, and I sat down on the nearest bench to rifle through my bag for something to eat. I ended up with a pack of Oreos after I'd searched through every pocket and crevice, and sighed.

While I was having the last one I started to choke. Desperately, I searched my bag for my water to try and help me breathe. Fuck!!! the bottle was empty.

I started coughing. I tried to breathe out but I couldn't draw in the air. Panicked, I tried to calm myself, but it did nothing. I clutched the bench on one hand for support and tried to give myself the Heimlich maneuver. Dammit! Why didn't I pay enough attention when we learned how to do this? I clenched my eyes tightly. Tears started to roll on my cheeks. My chest burned like acid as I heaved for air with no luck.

I thought I was about to pass out. But then, like a miracle, like God had given me another chance, I started breathing.

I panted like a dog, but I was alive, and that was all that mattered. And then I noticed that someone was caressing my back. A red flag went up almost immediately, yet for some reason, I felt at ease.

I tried to open my teary eyes as I turned around.

Taehyung was sitting next to me and his hands gently stroked my back. He glanced at me with his puppy eyes.

For a moment I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that he was right there. When did he get here? He noticed me frowning and offered a warm smile. I smiled back at him and slightly nodded my head at him.

After 10 minutes of me recovering, Taehyung excused himself to took a call.

I finally felt quite relaxed and was able to breathe normally.

I crouched and folded my hands across my knees, relaxing my head on the back of the bench and looking at the peaceful sky and the beautifully glittering stars. I started to wallow in that fascinating Galaxy.

I was always engrossed by its beauty and forgot about this existing world.

The surroundings were pin-drop silent.

I felt so relaxed without any noisy traffic or crappy vehicles' smoke.

It felt so soothing. I loved the silence.
Silence is not an absence of something, but it's the pleasure of everything.
