"aoi!" i screamed with all my might when i reached the sea sands and yet no traces were seen of her.
where the hell are you aoi? It's been almost a day since you've been gone.
why did you disappear? have you grown tired of me, too? Do you hate me too? why did you leave? where did you go?
yesterday night – we were just together and you, we, we slept together in one bed, when i woke up no traces of you were found. we were so happy and contended, you started opening up to me and yet why? why are you gone?
was that it? did you purposely got close of me yesterday because you were going to leave today? you left everything, i don't even know where i should start finding you.
you left without any traces and I'm going crazy.
the only place i knew that we both had one thing in common is this beach and yet you weren't here. it's been already a one whole day and yet i'm still clueless on where you left for.
tears begged to break free as my tears inched on the corner of my eyes. my knees wobbled and soon they betrayed me as the kept feelings were poured in one tear, followed by the river of of my feelings.
did you leave me too?
have you gotten sick of me, like others was?
did you leave me just like dad?
do you hate me?
why? why? why did you leave? i'm going crazy, was everything, everything we had all for nothing? am I the only one who felt the spark, the safety and the haven that each of us had? am I the only one who's blind enough to not see the way you hated being with me?
i picked myself up and as my feet led me to her house, a couple of steps away a familiar figure came into my view. the figure was staggering as if it was having a hard time walking, as the distance between us decreased i was able to make out the person's physique.
my eyes almost popped out inside my eyesockets as i realize who it was.
"aoi!" the figure flinched and i certainly knew that it was her. i quickly rushed to aid aoi. as soon as i held her, i saw how miserable she was.
"jungkook?" i held her steady, so afraid to let go because of how frail and fragile she looked. i saw several bruises covering her body, our eyes met and i saw how bloodshot they were. she looked so helpless.
"a – aoi w – what happened?" i stuttered as i carried her in my arms and ran inside the house. i carefully placed her inside my bed. her skin was so pale and i was afraid that she would already die, i decided to call the hospital but—
she stopped me.
"please, jungkook. don't, I – i'm fine. i don't, i just need to rest."
a tear escaped, why won't you let me help you? "no! you need treatment, those bruises hurt and i can't bear to see you hurting. what if you leave me too? what if you go vani—"
i felt her hand slid against mine, giving it soothing caresses. my eyes couldn't help but trail on her face and our eyes locked. "please, jungkook" she breathed and i felt so weak at the sight. i pulled myself together and thought of something to do, i can't let her be.
if she doesn't want the help from the hospital then, i'd be the one to help her.
"where are the first aid kit located?"
"cabinet" I stood up and searched for the kit and when i got a hold of what I needed, i rushed to her again.
"take off the coat." aoi hesitated but obliged. if what i saw outside was already enough to make my heart swell, when she took off the coat — i couldn't help but bawl.
bruises and blisters covered her skin, i can't help but tremble and breakdown. the person i love is hurt both physically and emotionally.
"w – who did t – this?" i choked through gritted teeth as i wiped the droplets of tears that were flowing.
". . ."
"aoi, tell me." please, i beg you. let me, let me kick their balls until they would beg to never see the daylight.
". . ."
"i beg of you," i muttered as i cupped her face. our eyes met and her eyes slowly turned glossy, "I . . . i visited my mom's grave today, jungkook."
i flinched, seemingly feeling more worse and i didn't know how to react, she just visited her mother's grave and i realized that we were the same.
we both lost someone important to us and yet why? why? she just visited her mother's grave but why did she got home all bruised up? where did she - "c – can you promise me one thing?" i found myself hearing aoi's plea as she continued speaking, before hanging her head low and i nodded as i treat the wounds.
as much as she was having a hard time moving, she lifted her arm and clutched the cloth of my shirt tight. "p – please, don't leave me, too"
oh god, the way she said it, made my heart swell. a sob escaped her lips as i finished treating every wounds, "you see, people are not s – so fond of me and I didn't really know how you became my friend b – but you were the only one that stayed and i d—"
she was so perfect in my eyes.
every little thing she does is perfection and i can't get enough of it. every little action – even the simple eye smile upto the moment she is dozing off into sleep . . i love it, all.
i'm growing deeper and deeper attached to her even if i'm not supposed to be. i'm afraid. i'm afraid but, i still keep on finding my way to the path of loving you. will you pick me up with open arms if i fall?
i pursed her lips as i placed a finger on it, before engulfing her little body safe on me. "i won't and never will."
we – i, will always be here for the person i love.
