❝why are you crying?
it's only me and you here,
me and you,
oh you.❞

-

It was late at night.

Taehyung sat unmoving at the bench, eyes closed and breathing deeply.

After a while, he opened his eyes, where it landed on the swing.

"Hyun Ji? Why are you crying?"

The girl smiled bitterly,"Tae..my parents...t-they-"

She let out another sob as Taehyung sat beside her at the swings, hugging her crying form as she sobbed on his shoulder.

"Shh, it would be okay soon." He whispers.

Hyun Ji continued crying.

"One day it'll be a good day, for sure." Taehyung sings.

"You won't be alone, always.
I'll be by your side, we'll be okay.
If we're connected, surely it'll be a brighter tomorrow.
As you share happiness, it multiplies.
But if you share sadness also, it multiplies too.
So always laugh,
And rest on my shoulder."

Slowly, Hyun Ji lifted her head from his shoulder.

"Thank you, Tae."

"I'll always be here for you." He mumbles.

His eyes were bloodshot as he slowly walked to it.

Taehyung sat on his swing as he stares at the swing that used to be "hers".

He sighed, tracing the seat as he glanced sadly at it.

Hyun Ji-ah,

Where are you when I need you?

It's always you and me together, I miss you.

I'm always here waiting,
Kim Taehyung
