Promise

8

I felt his breath around my neck. This was exactly how I remembered it. Honestly, I missed this so so much. He was crying most certainly. Sometimes its okay to cry your heart out. I hugged him tighter and closer to me. I whispered in his ear
"No matter what and who you become I would be by you everytime you feel down. You are one of my precious belongings, reason why my heart beats, I would never let go of you. Even if we tear apart and choose our own ways, you still would have a friend in me."
"I would never let you go away. Ever again. Ok doll?"
His voice felt low yet satisfying and calm. I snuggled in his arms to feel his warmth and felt the peace you were seeking for 4 years. I felt my eyes close on its own, Taehyung had stopped crying but still his breathing was not normal yet. But I couldn't stop myself from falling asleep in his arms. It was a past instinct I guess.

I wokeup when Taehyung was carrying me inside bridal style. He smiled at me and softly said,
"Had good a sleep Doll?"
I saw 6 guys sitting on the lounge. They all got to their feet when they saw me. They were exchanging smiles and passing on dollars to each other. Taehyung lifted me down on the sofa. Namjoon greeted me first,
"Annyeonghaseyo London. I believe you know me."
I crossed my arms,
"Or I thought so Namjoon Oppa. I thought we were friends!"
Yoongi flashed his gummy smile at me,
"London Ah! Why would we reunite you with your starcrossed lover if we were not your friends?"
"You all knew it! But still you made me wait and cry for 4 years! I thought we were friends!"
Jimin side hugged me,
"London, who are we to write your fate. We were waiting for him to bring you back. We were not in charge to finish the puzzle to your heart, he was. He is to blame!"
I pouted, I was not talking to them anymore. How dare they? But Jungkook and Jin were on another level that no one can avoid smiling on. Jungkook started mimicking his Hyungs and Jin started with his dad jokes. I couldn't help but smile. They pulled me into a group hug,
"You Babos! That's my girlfriend you are hugging!"
Taehyung took me in his arms. I was giggling.
"But you got her back because of us!"
Hoseok crossed his arms.
"Which I'm thankful to all of you guys for. But I think she needs a bit of rest."
Taehyung said as he took me by my hand to a really well decorated room. It had a really huge and soft bed, really warm blankets and plushies.
"This is your room, Tae?"
He coyly smiled and leaned on the door,
"Our room from now on Doll."
I hugged him. Wow! I could see the old Taehyung coming back. He had kept a vase filled with white roses cause I love them. There was a box of chocolate and a huge teddy bear with a small note on it. I giggled and picked the note in my hand. But Taehyung grabbed it away from my hand. I looked at him confusion peeking through my eyes, he smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck,
"This was my back up plan."
"Then I shouldn't have just agreed and got back together. I mean these chocolates..."
"These are yours you agree or disagree."
I popped one in my mouth, It was Taehyung's favourite too. So I unwrapped one and popped one in his mouth.
"Tae, what if I even rejected this?" I said, mouth filled with the lovely taste of chocolate.
"Well, I was positive that you wouldn't reject chocolate. And I'm positive you love me because every action has an equal and opposite reaction."
I didn't have an answer. I always thought that he would be back, and I was supposed to hate him when he is back. But I couldn't hate him even a bit, Atleast not before knowing the reason why he left. I patted his shoulders and looked at him,
"It's okay to not be ready to share your past Taehyung, but will it be too early for me to know why you left?"
Taehyung's eyes filled with tears, he mumbled,
"London, I'm too weak to tell you everything I need a bit more time. But you also deserve to know right?"
His voice had the image of pain and heartbreak. He was at the verge of breaking down. I consoled him,
"No no it's alright! Tae I would be there whenever you would be ready to tell. Don't push yourself Taehyung..."
"I LEFT BECAUSE MY PARENTS DIED! THEY WERE MURDERED!"
Taehyung broke down into sobs. He was crying. I felt a twist and tug in my heart, it felt as if someone was carving out my heart. I took him in my arms and held him tightly. I lightly patted his back whilst he held my waist tightly and burried his crying eyes in my chest. His sobs were loud enough for his friends to hear, they ran towards the room to witness this heartfelt scene. Taehyung lifted his head up and rubbed his eyes. I kissed him on his forehead and ran my fingers through his soft hair.

"Doll, are you sure you would never leave me?"
Taehyung woke me up in the middle of the night. If it was anyone else I would have slapped them so hard, but it was Taehyung. The broken person who needs me to mend himself. I pecked him on his cheeks,
"Till death do us part."
"Didn't you feel hatred towards me?"
I slowly sat on the bed and leaned on it,
"To be honest, I had mixed feelings. I wanted to forget you but still I wanted you close to me. I wanted to hug you tighter than ever yet also wanted to push you away. I really was a confused mess these 4 years!"
Taehyung chuckled, it was nice to see him happy. I hugged him and tucked him inside the blanket. He was so warm. We both cuddled each other to sleep.
