The man felt the dark once again. It was suffocating, he can't escape

September 20, 2016

As the wind blows, he felt a shiver down the spine. He just couldn't stop the tears whenever he was thinking about her. It's 1 midnight, but he never felt sleepy. The wind felt comforting, as if it was hugging him.

The sound of water flowing made him relax. He looked up to the sky, he smiled when he remembered that night. He couldn't imagine that it was Jeongyeon. Stars were shining and blinking, he imagined what would happened if she was here. A glimpse of smile came out in his lips. Not noticing it, he closed his eyes and took off his mask.

"Halmeoni. Are you there?" He tried talking, as if his grandmother would respond. 

Everything went silence for minutes.

"Halmeonie... I miss you." He said and bit his bottom lips to suppressed his tears.

"I miss you too." Taehyung immediately opened his eyes and scratch his eyes. Weird.

"Halmeonie?" He looked from side to side but no one was there. 

He slowly turned around as if he was in a horror movie. His heart was pumping real fast as seconds pass by and then----

"BOO!" 

"AH FVCK!" Taehyung screamed and almost slipped while trying to escape.

Jeongyeon blinked twice before laughing out loud. Taehyung recognized her laugh, he rolled his eyes. Jeongyeon was still laughing, holding her stomach she looked like she was dying.

"Stop." Jeongyeon tried to stop but once she looked at him again, she just burst out laughing. Her laugh couldn't be stop anytime soon.

"I said stop, jeongyeon." Jeongyeon once again trying herself not to laugh, but anytime she stops herself, she just burst out laughing more.

"Aigoo~ oppa, only if you saw your face." Taehyung sneered.

"Stop laughing." Jeongyeon stopped, but a few seconds later she was laughing her heart out again. He glared at her.

"What? It was so fvcking funny!" She cussed. Still laughing, Taehyung shookt his head. 

It's been 5 minutes but she's still laughing, Only if it wasn't jeongyeon he would've walked out.

"Aisht. Stop laughing." Thankfully Jeongyeon stopped laughing after 10 long minutes. 

"Sorry, it was just so funny." Jeongyeon said. Still suppressing her laugh.

"Why are you here?" Taehyung asks. 

"I knew you would be here." He was puzzled by her statement, how did she know? Is she a stalker?

"Nah, kidding. My Unnie and I were just strolling and I saw you." Jeongyeon said without looking at him. She was just looking at the water flowing.

"Oh.. You left her? She might-"

"Ah. No, she's at the near coffee shop." Taehyung nodded and look at her. He was checking out her face, her hair isn't long. It was chopped off.

"You look pretty." Taehyung suddenly commented. Jeongyeon smiled.

"I know." Taehyung shakes his head, amazed by her confidence. 

"Yeah btw. Sorry if I acted shy around you the last time, It was because I just knew that it was really you." Jeongyeon smiled at him. 

"yeah me too. I was awkward." Taehyung scratched the back of his head. 

The shy moon, who was covering him self behind the clouds showed himself. Now the light touches their faces, he could see her face very clearly. She smiled at him.

"I'm sorry for your lost." Taehyung smiled at her, now the pain got back. His heart starts to feel like it wasn't functioning.

"Thank you. Can I ask something?"

"Ofcourse." Jeongyeon smiled at him. 

They sat first at the cold grass, It felt deja vu. Sitting beside each other, they were looking ta the city lights from the other side of the river.

"How can I be happy again?" Taehyung was desperate, he may look happy but everything isn't. He may laugh and smile but behind those are the tears he couldn't let out.

"Choose it." He looked at her, jeongyeon looked back.

"You can't be happy if you don't want to be happy." He was still confuse. He wanted to be happy.

"You may think that you want to be happy, but brain and heart needs to function as one. I know it's hard because of your lost." She said still looking at him. He look away, as he felt a lil bit emotional.

"You don't need to rush, It takes time to heal. " She patted his shoulder. 

"Thank you." He thanked her.

"My grandmother... she died too before I became an idol." He looked at her, he saw her smiling but he knew better. He knows she's trying to hold back her tears.

"I know what you are feeling, I know it hurts." She was smiling but her eyes doesn't say so.

"You're strong, and I know you're weak now. Even if its just our second time meeting here.. I feel like you really are a friend of mine." Jeongyeon wiped her tears.

"You're not alone, Taehyung-ah."

Jeongyeon was hesitating if she would hug him or not. Her heart says so, so she did it. Taehyung felt comfort in her hug, it was like hugging someone who was very close to him. 

"People come and go, but love will always stay-- right here with you."
