Tiger's White Lotus || Taehyung Cold Brother Series || *[On Hold]

Chapter 20

RM:Here this is your room
Probably you'll have to share it with a roommate if someone new come

Ae-ri:Oh okay oppa thank you
I- I'll unpack my things
Thank you

RM looked at Ae-ri
Her hands were shivering
She looked anxious

Namjoon always knew how close Ae-ri and Taehyung are
He knew that it's really tough for her to settle down

RM:Need any help in unpacking?

Ae-ri:....

RM:Ae-ri... *soft*

Ae-ri:....

As she was backfacing him, he walked to her and noticed that she was hugging a framed photo

She was closing her eyes while softly sobbing
She wanted to act emotionless
She wanted to hate her oppa

But how can she?

He was the one who was there with her all tough times

Whenever she couldn't stand by herself through sick times
Whenever she felt low and down
Whenever she fell down

Whenever she needed someone to held her back, secretly or not he did that

Ae-ri knew that
She knew how Taehyung handles everything
behind her back
She wasn't dumb not to notice the effort Taehyung put in his every work

She appreciated it
She loved it,since when she knew how to appreciate people around her

She wanted to hug her oppa
Ofc she was feeling so low
She tried so hard to feel warmth via that glass wall of the framed photograph

RM smiled softly and sympathetically

He hugged her and let her cry as much as she wanted

Ae-ri:I- I hate h-im op-pa
B-ut I m-iss h-im
Wh-at should I- do ple-ase te-ll m-e

She uttered in a cracked voice while pointing at the photo

RM:Shh baby
Don't cry
You just recovered
You need rest

Ae-ri:Yes I want a break from this miserable life

RM:kid-

Ae-ri:You all are liars aren't you? Ah?
Tell me the real reason oppa
I It's really hard to react his unpredictable nature
I'm scared I'm scared if I accidentally hurt his feelings
I know oppa is strong but he needs love
Doesn't he?
That stupid Jennie never gives what he wants
But oppa
Must be lonely
Isn't it?

Rm nodded and tried to console her
But ended up Ae-ri asking for an alone time
So he left her to feel comfortable

She woke up in the middle of the night
Not just to have some water or something
She was having nightmares

She was crying hard
Her whole face was red and wet with tears

She clutched the bed sheet
She really needed Taehyung rightnow

But no
She can't get back to Taehyung

She hugged herself and burried her head on her knees

She wasn't allowed to bring her big Teddy at the school
Yeontan wasn't there too

How can she feel safe and warm around

She just cried hard while hugging herself

Ae-ri:Wa-nt op-pa

She mumbled this while slowly drifting into sleep

There was one time when Taehyung literally punished Ae-ri really hard recalling her dark past
That was a misunderstanding plus a big wrong deed done by Ae-ri
