Taehyung and I ate together in a peaceful silence. However no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape from the chaotic thoughts and concerns for his father.

I feel like im betraying him by not saying anything but I would be betraying mr Kim if I did spill the beans.

This is so difficult. the past few months have been as well.

I just need to relax and think about this properly. Taehyung knows his father is ill and will pass soon but he doesn't now that he is in pain.

Thats not so bad I guess. Its not like Tae could do anything if he knew his father was hurting other then worry and keep him from doing any strenuous work.

But that wouldn't help anyone. If word got out that Mr Kim was dying then it's likely someone will try and use that opportunity to take charge of the new civilisation we have created for ourselves.

Life is dangerous now and one stupid mistake can mean extinction.

"Love? Your heart is racing. You ok?" He looked at me as if I were a delicate flower that was starting to wilt.

I nod, taking a deep breath and letting him pull me close so my body was laid against his.

I feel his breath tickle my ear as he littered small kisses around. "I shouldn't have let you see me like that today... but im glad I did. You deserve to know exactly what happens just as much as me and my father. You are so valuable to me and this whole population. I can't be keeping secrets about things anymore."

Well that was sweet but damn it hurt. He thought that high of me but I'm doing what he said we shouldn't do: keep secrets.

"Can we just lay here for a while." I whisper.

I'm exhausted mentally and I don't want to break down infront of him.

There is no way of getting out of that without explaining what's wrong.

"We can lay here as long as you want sweetheart." His voice had this ability to relax me.

It felt like a layer of silk wrapping around my soul and guarding it from the harsh world.

I don't think I could continue if I lost him. What the hell was I supposed to do if I did.

I've never felt such a way to human being before and I doubt very much that I will find it again in someone else.

I wonder how I survived living before when I hadn't met him.

What the hell has kept me going because this man seems to be the only thing I live for right now.

Maybe I had hope before. Hope that I would find someone to fight beside.

Maybe I thought I was going to come to this city and see a whole already built civilisation to survive in.

But life ain't that simple. It's cruel and heart breaking...

"I can hear you're racing thoughts from here baby." He said pushing back my hair and running his fingers through it.

"Relax into me sweetheart. Let me make you feel safe."

He knew exactly what to say all the time.

I close my eyes and sigh out as he massages my scalp with his fingers.

I intense my body for the first time in a while and let my muscles turn to jelly.

"Nap time." He said resting his head back on the pillow and pulling my head to lay on his chest.

I giggle as he snuggles down deeper and deeper into the bed. "Sweet dreams Tae." I whisper and kiss his cheek before drifting off.

—————————————
I don't want to wake up. I don't want to return to reality but I have to there.

There is no choice. And I hate it.

I want to fumble through my imagination and relish in the peace and tranquillity of doing absolutely nothing.

I sit up to see Tae has gone out but left a note.

I've gone to the main hall.
You looked too cosy to wake up and I think there is a meeting at 6pm. Come down and find me when you see this.
-T

Ok 6 pm... that's in five minutes!

On that note I jump out of bed and sprint to the front door where I jump into my shoes and as I run, I fix my hair into a ponytail.

My legs started to ache as I finally reached the bottom of the steps and got to the mail hall.

I looked around at the crowd that was already forming.

I was small so I had to go on my tippy toes to try and see over people.

However the man I was looking for didn't appear in my vision.

Instead a deep familiar chuckle came from behind mE and a pair of hands placed on my waist.

"Got you." Taehyung spoke right by my ear, tickling me slightly.

I giggled and squirm in his hold but in response he just held me closer.

"Come on, my father will speak in a moment." He pulled me through the crowd that moved immediately out the way.

I guess news spreads quick about who exactly was the one to 'get rid' of the monster who killed the girl.

I saw Mr Kim take his place at the front and clear his throat before speaking up.

"Attention please everyone!" He spoke out making silence fall upon us all.

"I have some news for you all. Our plans seem to be going better and quicker as what we expected." He took a breath.

"So I would like to inform you all about the plans for the train."

It couldn't be ready this quickly could it? I thought that was weeks away.

But by the hopeful look on his face, I guess not...
