After a couple days Chanbyeok convinced me to go home and take a shower at least, I didn't want to at first but he kept insisting so I eventually caved in. So now I was on my way home facing the long drive alone.
How could this happen? Why did this happen?
Everything had been a blur, like trees when you drive past too fast, just enough to register but then it's gone just as you realize what it was.
I gripped the steering wheel as I heard my phone vibrate for the hundredth time today, I hadn't took any calls from anyone lately, just couldn't bring myself to talk to anyone. I mean yeah sure I felt bad for leaving Namjoon and Hoseok out the loop but it's normal right?
My keys clatter on the counter as I walked into my apartment, but the lights were on and the mess I'd made a couple days ago was gone.
Namjoon dashed to me like a puppy that missed their owner and hugged me, his warmth made me lean into him but he pulled away.
"Where the hell were you?! Do you know how many times I called?!"
I flinched at the volume of his voice and his eyes softened.
"Taelin what happened? What's wrong?"
I could feel the lump in my throat painfully swell and tears threatening to fall again as I looked to the ground.
"I'm sorry...for ignoring you.. I just..." I
couldn't even finish my sentence before I exploded, hot salty tears hitting my cheeks and ugly cries filling the small highway. Namjoon pulled me towards him into his arms rocking us back and forth.
"Shh, shhh I've got you.."
His voice was soft and comforting, flowed like hot chocolate in a way.
He guided me to the living room where I calmed down and told him everything, he didn't interrupt and had a sorrowful look in his eye.
"You should go get cleaned up, I'm going to be staying here with you for a couple days.."
I got up and began to walk off when he whispered something under his breath.
"I don't want a repeat of last time..."
