-Taeyang's POV-

I'm looking straight at Hwiyoung's eyes. My lips don't let me speak, a tight knot on my throat does it all harder, and the emotions rushing through myself are making my tears fall quicker. Hwiyoung's hands are on my face as I'm trying to keep myself together, but feeling him so close, gives me a better view of his wounded face. That immediately made me feel upset, and my hands automatically turn into fists; Hwiyoung noticed it and tried to calm me down with his soft glare.

-Why are you saying those things, hyung? – Hwiyoung questioned, confused.

-I believe that your father is dangerous because he hurt you. – I stuttered. -That's why you have to come with me. – I looked at Hwiyoung, concerned. But he shook his head before caressing my cheek.

-I have to stay. I can't run away like this; my father knows where to find me. – Hwiyoung softly spoke while cleaning my tears. -I'm mighty, and I won't break if you stay close to me. – Hwiyoung assured while holding my hand gently.

-I can't leave you here. – I said before clearing out my throat. -What if he hurts you again? – I questioned while caressing the back of his head.

-I won't let that happen. I promise. – Hwiyoung stated while staring at me.

I nodded before hugging him tightly against me. I tried to calm myself while feeling his warmth hitting my body and attempted to trust the words he told me tonight.

-Can I stay with you? – I questioned, feeling unsure.

He hummed in a yes. -Do you want to stay the entire night? – Hwiyoung questioned, looking up to see my face.

-Yes. – I replied.

Hwiyoung smiled before cluttering my hair; he laid down on the bed before patting the space next to him. I grinned back before resting above the mattress; I didn't take my eyes off Hwiyoung, which made him giggle shyly.

-Yah! I'm okay. – Hwiyoung assured while taking my hand.

-Hmm, I'm sure you are. – I nodded before playing with Hwiyoung's hand.

-I want to tell you about the things I discovered. But can I speak about them tomorrow? – Hwiyoung disclosed while looking at me, concerned.

-Alright. Whatever thing it's bothering you, I'm sure we can get through it. – I assured while staring back at Hwiyoung; we smiled at one another before he closed his eyes slowly.

-I'm sure of that too, hyung. – Hwiyoung said before taking a deep breath. -Sleep well. – He murmured sleepily.

-Goodnight, Hwiyoung. – I smiled as I watched him close his eyes.
