Badboy shadow

Done with her

Taehyung's pov.
"It was just a bad dream."
I say softly while stroking her messy hair. She's been sweating really bad.

"They want to kill me."
Her voice is shaking.

I pull her closer to my chest.
"Nothing is going to happen. I promise. You are safe here. You just had a bad dream. You need to rest and soon you'll feel better."
I repeat myself.

She swallows and closes her eyes.

And again... I'm caring too much. She won't remember this anyways.

I sigh.
Her eyelids fall and her breath slows down.

She's asleep.
Silently I peel myself out of the embrace and pull the blanket up to her nose.

I'm so done...

I close the door behind me and walk towards the restroom. There I look at myself in the mirror.

I feel guilty about Lee being sick.
But what she said was true. How can you love someone you barely know.

And that's why I should distance myself from her. I'm done fighting for someone who doesn't want me.

I wash my face and go downstairs to the kitchen.

"Goodmorning."
Hoseok smiles.

I hum in response.

"Hows Lee feeling?"
He asks.

I shrug.

Hoseok let out a sigh before he starts  talking.
"What is with you two...?"

Again I shrug.
"We go two different ways now. I told her yesterday...and she said that she can't love someone she barely know."

He pulls me into an embrace.

"Hyung...don't give up on her like that. Her feelings were true and her personality hasn't changed. She loves you. She doesn't know it yet because everything is new for her. Let her settle down and I think everything will come itself."

I shake my head.
"I think I don't want that."

He frowns.
"What do you mean, you don't want that?!"

"I don't want to love her."
I respond coldly.

"But Hyung..."

"NO, I'm done! I'M DONE WITH EVERYTHING!!!"
I yell and grab my jacket.

"Where are you going?!"
Hoseok yells after me.

"I'm leaving."
I huff and slam the door.

***

Lee's pov.

My head feels heavy and I can feel every bone of mine.
I cold shiver runs down my spine as I turn around.

Did I dream or wasn't Taehyung laying right here beside me a while ago?

I sigh.

Slowly I roll myself out of the bed.
I'm thirsty. My mouth is dry and I need a hot cup of tea.

I can feel that I'm weak the moment I stand up. My legs are quaking and I try my best to hold myself up.

"Lee! What are you doing here?! You need to rest!"
I could hear Jungkook yelling as I reach the end of the stairs.

"I'm thirsty."
I answer and continue fighting the weakness in my legs.

They were shaking badly.
Jungkook runs up to me and I let myself bump into him.
