Chemistry and Pain Pt3
Pairings: Reader x Kim Taehyung
Warnings: Violence
You feel his lips against yours. For a second you were happy but then all you could see in your head was Jinyoung. You quickly push Taehyung away. Tears are coming from your eyes.
Y/N: “I’m sorry...I-I-I cant”
You run through the crowd. You didn’t know where you were running to but you knew you had to get away. You stop at the entrance of the university and squat down. You are hyperventilating while crying. You feel arms wrap around you. You look up and see it was Bora.
Bora: “What’s wrong?”
Y/N: “I-I-I can’t do this. “
Bora: “It is ok. You don’t have to do anything anymore. Let’s go home” She helps you up. Her left arm is around your waist as you both walk home.
Jungkook: “What happened Tae?”
Taehyung: “I don’t know. We were dancing and having fun. The slow song came on and we dance to that. Then I kissed her. It felt like the right moment but I guess I was wrong” He hung his head down as he spoke. He wasn’t sure how, but he knows he hurt you in some way.
You and Bora get home. You cried the entire way home. You wanted to die. You go into your room and get into bed. You don’t even bother changing clothes. You are in fetal position as you pull the covers over you. You held the teddy bear close to you and realize that you are still wearing Taehyung’s jacket. You pull it closer to yourself and try to smell the last remaining cologne that was left on it. Bora comes in and sits on the bed with you.
Bora: “Talk to me Y/N. It looked like you and Taehyung were having fun.”
Y/N: “We were. Everything was perfect. When he kissed me I was initially happy. But then I saw Jinyoung’s face in my head. He was telling me that I will never be happy. He said I don’t deserve Tae and that no one will ever want to be with me” You started to cry again.
Bora: “You know that is not true.”
Y/N: “He probably hates me now. I pushed him away and there is no way I can undo that”
Bora: “He will understand. Trust me. Get some sleep. You will feel better in the morning” Bora walked out of the room and turned off the lights. Her phone started to ring. Bora picked it up.
Bora: “Jungkook, hey.......yah I am at home......She will be okay.......I will talk to you about it later........I love you too.” She hung up the phone.
You woke up from a dreamless sleep. You still felt upset about what happened last night. You get up from the bed and walk to the living room.
Bora: “Good morning. Are you hungry? I can fix you something”
Y/N: “No thanks. I am not hungry. I think I am just going to take a shower.”
You go into the bedroom and start to take off the jacket. You wished there was some way you didn’t have to take off the jacket. You placed it on your bed and took the rest of your clothes off. You walk into the bathroom and turn the shower on and make sure it is hot before entering. While you are showering you start to cry again. You rest against the wall and slide down burying your head in your knees. You spend almost 1.5 hours in the shower before getting out. You get dressed and go back to bed. Bora knocks on the door.
Bora: “Hey I am going out for a little bit. Will you be okay?”
Y/N: “I will be fine”
Bora leaves the house and walks to a cafe that is 20 min away from the apartment. She sees Jungkook and Taehyung sitting at a table. Jungkook is drinking coffee while Taehyung had a soda.
Bora: “Hey guys”
Jungkook: “How is she?”
Bora: *looks at Taehyung* “She will be okay. She is punishing herself for hurting you Tae. She said when you kissed her she was happy but then saw Jinyoung in her head. He made her feel like no one will ever want her. She does have feelings for you.”
Taehyung: “I never wanted to make her cry. And yet I end up doing just that”
Jungkook: “You did nothing wrong. No one, but Jinyoung, is to blame. He broke her spirit. And if anyone can repair her heart and spirit it is you”
Bora kisses Jungkook before leaving the cafe. She headed towards the grocery store. She wanted to make you some food to lift your spirits.
Jungkook and Taehyung begin to walk back to their dorm when Taehyung gets a phone call. He answers it. When he hears the voice he immediately froze.
??: “Hello little brother.”
Taehyung: “Jinyoung. What do you want? How did you get my number?”
Jinyoung: “Don’t worry how I got your number. A little birdie sent me a picture of you and Y/N dancing. I may have been in jail this past year but she is still mine.”
Taehyung: “She will never be yours. You almost killed her. What makes you think she will go back to you?”
Jinyoung: “We shall see. I am right outside her and Bora’s apartment. Let’s see what they say when I ring the doorbell.” He hangs up.
Taehyung stood frozen for a moment and then began to run as fast as he could. Jungkook ran behind him not quite sure what was going on.
Taehyung: “Which way to Bora’s apartment?”
Jungkook: “Why? What happened?”
Taehyung: “I don’t know how my brother is out of jail but he said he was right outside the apartment. Bora said she was going to the store. There is no way she is home yet and that means Y/N is by herself”
Jungkook: “This way” They both took off in a run
At your apartment
You hear a knock at the door. Did Bora forget her keycode again? You walk to the door and begin opening the door.
Y/N: *as you open the door* “Did you forget the code again Bora?”
You look up to see Jinyoung. You try to close the door but he is too strong. He forces his way in. You want to run but are frozen in fear.
Jinyoung: “Awww baby. Is that how you treat your boyfriend whom you haven’t seen in a year?”
Y/N: “You are not my boyfriend. I am not going back to you. I would rather die.”
Jinyoung: *grabs your hair* “That can be arranged.”
He throws you against the table. You try to get up but he kicks you in the stomach. He picks you up by your hair and punches you in the face. He was about to hit you again just as Jungkook and Taehyung come in the door.
Taehyung runs and punches Jinyoung in the face. Jungkook picks you up and moves you out of their fighting path. He pulls out his phone and calls the police.
Jinyoung: “You should not interfere baby brother. I was teaching Y/N a valuable lesson. She needs to learn that she is trash and that no one will ever want trash like her.”
Taehyung: *punches Jinyoung but is still holding him by the shirt* “Y/N is not trash. She is an amazing person who you broke. Even after a year she is still hurt from your years of abuse. I will always want her. I will always have feelings for her”
The Police enter the apartment and pull Taehyung off of Jinyoung. You are sitting with your knees under your chin crying. You see Jungkook talking to one police officer while Taehyung was talking to another. Bora runs into the apartment and runs to you. You try to explain what happened but you not speak. All you could do was rock back and forth. Jungkook walks to Bora and explains everything to her.
Bora: “Thank you both for saving her. I can’t believe he was released from jail. Taehyung, why don’t you go talk to her.”
Taehyung: “I may just make it worse for her”
Bora: “Right now she needs comfort. You can give that to her. Stay here with her. I will stay with Jungkook overnight so you two can be alone”
Taehyung walks over to you and puts his arm around you. Instinctively you turn into him and cry into his chest. He holds you close to him as you cry and begins to pet your hair.
Taehyung: “It is ok Y/N. I won’t let him or anyone else hurt you anymore. I promise.”
You find comfort and safety in his words and his arms. You do not want to leave his embrace. Exhaustion takes over you. You close your eyes and fall asleep.
Taehyung notices that you stopped crying. He looks down and sees your sleeping face. He smiles to himself before he picks you up and carries you to your bed. He places you gently on your bed and pulls the covers over you. He turns to walk out of the bedroom but is stopped by you holding his wrist.
Y/N: “Don’t leave me alone please” You say this while being half asleep.
Taehyung: “I will never leave you.” He lays next to you in bed and falls asleep almost immediately.
You wake up and feel the sunlight from your window hit your face. You notice an arm under you neck and open your eyes to see Taehyung laying right next to you. You are facing each other. One arm is over your abdomen while the other is under your neck. You look up at his sleeping face and smile a little. Even though you were close to him, you move a little closer to him. His arms made you feel safe.
Taehyung: “Good morning Y/N. How did you sleep?
Y/N: “Very well thanks to you.”
Taehyung: “Good.”
You sit up in the bed and stretch and then recoiled from the pain in your ribs.
Taehyung: “What’s wrong”
Y/N: “Just the pain from yesterday.”
Taehyung: “You should go see a doctor. You may have more broken ribs.”
Y/N: “I will be fine. I’m sure it is just bruising.” You also cannot seem to get warm. You felt as if you were stuck in the snow with no jacket. You decide to go and take a hot shower to try to warm you up.
Taehyung looks at you with a skeptical face but doesn’t fight you on the matter. You walk into the bathroom and suddenly feel dizzy. You put both of you hands on the sink counter trying to keep yourself standing.
Y/N: “Tae....” You weakly try to call for him before collapsing on the floor.
Luckly Taehyung heard you, but just barely. He comes into the bathroom and sees you on the floor.
Taehyung: “Hey.....Y/N. Can you hear me? Y/N!”
You start to wake up. You can hear Taehyung’s voice calling you and you desperately want to answer him but you can’t. You are going in and out of consciousness. He puts his hands on your face and notices how hot you are. He picks you up and places you in bed. He applies a cold pack to your forehead and covers you with the covers. Your breathing is heavy and struggling. Taehyung pulls out his phone to call Jungkook.
Jungkook: “Hello?”
Taehyung: “Hey is Bora with you? Y/N collapsed and is running a high fever. Can Bora drive us to the hospital?”
Jungkook: “Yah we will be there in less than 10 min”
Bora and Jungkook arrive at the house. Taehyung picks you up and places you in the back of the car and sits next to you. He props you up so you are leaning on him. When you arrive at the hospital, Taehyung gently picks you up and carries you inside.
Taehyung: “Hey I need a doctor now!”
Nurse: “What happened?” She can see the bruises on your neck as she brings a stretcher so Taehyung can set you down.
Taehyung explains everything that happened yesterday to the nurse. The nurse places an IV into you and gets the doctor. The doctor examines you.
Doctor: “I want a CT scan. While we are waiting get her on some IV fluids to bring her fever down.”
Nurse: “Yes sir”
They take you quickly and perform the CT scan.
Taehyung: “Thanks for bringing us. You two don’t have to stay. I will wait with her”
Jungkook: “Are you sure?”
Taehyung: “Yah I am good. I will text you with what they find.”
Jungkook: “Ok. Let us know if you need anything.”
Taehyung: “I will”
Jungkook and Bora leave the hospital. To Taehyung, every minute felt like hours. He just wanted to know that you would be okay. Eventually the doctor came to speak to him.
Doctor: “She will be fine. She has a very mild concussion. The fever is most likely due to the injuries she sustained from yesterday. You can go see her in her room. She passed out from the fever and not the concussion so that is good news. Once the fever breaks she should wake up.”
Taehyung: “Thank you so much Doctor”
Taehyung walks into your room and pulls the chair closer to your bed. Before he sits down, he kisses your forehead. He sits down and holds you hand. He had no plans on leaving your side. He promised you he would never leave you and he meant it.
You wake up and look around. You realize you are in the hospital. You look to your right and see Taehyung in a chair. He was bent over so his head was on your bed and he was holding your hand. You slowly slide your hand from his. He was sleeping so peacefully. You gently caress his hair trying not to wake he up. You end up staring at him for almost an hour before he started to stir.
Y/N: “Good morning”
Taehyung: *his eyes widen* “You’re awake! How are you feeling?”
Y/N: “Better, thanks to you”
Taehyung: “I am relieved you are okay.”
Your doctor walks in, sees that you are awake, and begins to do a physical exam on you.
Doctor: “Your vitals are normal so I suspect you should be able to go home tomorrow. I would like to keep you one more night just to make sure your fever doesn’t come back”
Y/N: “Yes sir. Thank you”
Your doctor leaves the room and you turn to Taehyung
Y/N: “You don’t need to stay. I will be fine.”
Taehyung: “I am not leaving your side”
Hearing those six words made you happy. You didn’t want to burden him but there was a part of you that didn’t want him to leave. You sit up a little bit more and scoot over to one side of the bed.
Y/N: “Sit next to me and we can see if there is anything on TV to watch”
Taehyung: *Pulls out a tablet from his bag* I do have a few movies on my tablet we can watch together” He gets into the bed with you.
Y/N: “Even better”
You look through the movies he does have and pick one. The movie starts and he puts his arm around you. You scoot closer to him and rest your head on his chest. You get through about half of the movie before you fall asleep. Taehyung notices that you fell asleep and turns the tablet off and sets it on the table near your bed.
You turn in your sleep wrapping your arm around Taehyung. The door to your room open and Jungkook and Bora walk into the room. They see you are sleeping and close the door very quietly.
Bora: “How is she doing?”
Taehyung: “Good. The doctor says she can most likely go home tomorrow.”
Jungkook: “I think it was her nurse that should be given the credit for her getting better” He was chuckling for he was implying the nurse being Taehyung.
Taehyung: *knowing what Jungkook was implying* “Haha very funny Jungkook”
Bora: “Jokes aside, I do think she would not have been alive if it were for you Tae. Thank you for being there for her.”
Taehyung: “I don’t plan on leaving her. Once she feels better I plan on asking her to be my girlfriend.”
Bora: “I am sure she will say yes”
Taehyung: “I hope so”
You wake up the next morning feeling almost 100% better. You still ached from the bruises but otherwise felt fine. You look over but do not see Taehyung in your room. The door to your room opens and Taehyung walks in.
Taehyung: “Good morning. I was just speaking to your nurse. Your doctor should be here soon to do another exam and if it is all good, you will be able to go home.”
Y/N: “Perfect”
The nurse walks in and hands you your breakfast. You sit up and begin to eat. You notice that Taehyung is staring at you.
Y/N: “What? Do I have something on my face?”
Taehyung: “Nope. Just admiring your beautiful face” He smiles
You cannot help but blush. You look down at your breakfast and keep eating. About 30 minutes later your doctor walks in.
Doctor: “How are you feeling today Y/N?”
Y/N: “A lot better. Just still a little bit sore but otherwise good”
Doctor: “Good. I will give you a pain prescription and your discharge papers and then you are free to go”
Y/N: “Thank you Doctor”
He leaves the room and Taehyung pulls a bag from behind the chair where he was sitting.
Taehyung: “Bora brought you some clothes yesterday. I will step out and let you take a shower and get dressed”
You nod your head as he sets the bag on the bed. You get up and head to the bathroom. Your legs were sore from when Jinyoung kicked you. You turn the water on and let it heat up. You step into the shower. The hot water feels good on your skin. You wash yourself and then step out of the shower. Bora had brought you jeans, a shirt, and under garments. You get dressed and put your shoes on. Taehyung enters the room and has papers with him.
Taehyung: “The doctor handed me your medicine and discharge papers. I have a taxi waiting downstairs for us.”
You stand up and walk to Taehyung. You limp due to the pain. Taehyung puts his arm around your waist.
Taehyung: “Use me as a support. I’ve got you”
You lean against him as you make your way to the elevator. You get into the cab with Taehyung and tell your driver the address. When you get home you notice Bora is not there. You figured she must be with Jungkook. As you enter the living room you see a large bouquet of your favorite flowers. You smell the flowers.
Y/N: *you turn to Taehyung* “Where did these come from?”
Taehyung: “I had them delivered here. Bora put them in the living room before she and Jungkook left for a weekend trip”
Y/N: “How did you know what my favorite flowers are? I never told anyone.”
Taehyung: “Lucky guess *he smiled* I am glad you like them.”
Y/N: “I love them” You give him a hug.
Taehyung hugs you back. He spent the weekend with you, making sure you were okay. He pampered you for the weekend. It was the first time any guy has done this for you. You felt special.
One week later
It had been a week since you came home from the hospital. You were relaxing at home when your phone rings. You look at the called ID to see it was Taehyung
Y/N: “Hey Tae. What’s up?”
Taehyung: “I was just wondering if you were free tonight. I thought we could go out for dinner”
Y/N: “Yah that sounds good”
Taehyung: “Great!. I will pick you up at 7:30 then”
Y/N: “See you then”
You look at the time. It was barely 11am. You go to your closet and look at the dressed that you had. You wanted to look cute for Taehyung. This was the first time you are going to dinner with Taehyung. While he never said the exact word ‘date’, you felt like it was a date. You looked from dress to dress but didn’t find one that you liked.
Y/N: “Bora! I need your help”
Bora: “What’s up?”
Y/N: “I am going to dinner with Tae tonight but I don’t have anything cute to wear. Can you come shopping with me to find a good outfit for tonight?”
Bora: “Yah let me get dressed and we can go.”
You and Bora head to the mall and go from store to store in search for the perfect dress that was cute but not too sexy. You spend almost 4 hours at the mall trying on different dresses till you finally found the one that both you and Bora felt was perfect. You find a pair of heels to go with the dress and then go and check out. It was 5:30pm when you got home.
You go and take a long shower. You were feeling excited and nervous at the same time. You put your bra and underwear on before slipping a shirt on. Bora comes in and does your makeup. Once she finishes, you take off the shirt and put the dress on. Bora helps you style your hair. She had just finished when the doorbell rings.
You go downstairs and open the door. Taehyung is dressed in a nice sleek suit. He looks at you from top to bottom.
Taehyung: “You look amazing”
Y/N: *you blush* “Thank you. You look amazing too”
He offers you his arm which you take. You walk to his car and get inside. He drives you to the restaurant. It was an Italian restaurant that you have been wanting to go to for a long time. It was super fancy and you had to have a reservation to dine there.
The waitress greets you and Taehyung gave her his name for the reservation. She walks you to a booth that was tucked away in the corner. The lights were dimmed which gave the area a more romantic vibe.
After you and Taehyung finished eating dinner the waiter came and asked about dessert which Taehyung declined. The waiter handed him the check. Taehyung paid and then extended his hand to help you out of the booth. You walk out of the restaurant and back to his car.
Taehyung: “I have one more place I want to take you”
You nod as you get in the car. He drives for almost an hour. You kept thinking of what would happen next. You were wondering where he was taking you. Dinner was phenomenal and you weren’t sure if anything could top it. Taehyung makes a turn and then parks the car.
Taehyung get out of the car and runs around to open your door. You step out of the car and hear the crashing of waves. He takes your hand and walks you towards a large building on the beach. He guides you up some stairs and when you get onto the roof of the building you are in awe. The roof was surrounded by lights. On the floor was a blanket that had a small cake and 2 wine glasses. He turns to you and takes both of your hands as he walks you to the blanket.
Taehyung: “Y/N. I know these past few months have not been easy for you. I know you have had some men in your past who have not treated you right. I also know that I love you very much. Y/N, will you please be my girlfriend?”
Y/N: “Taehyung, if it weren’t for you I would most likely be dead. You are the first guy who has ever made me feel safe. Of course I will be your girlfriend.”
Taehyung smiled for a second before kissing you. The kiss made you feel like you were flying. Taehyung broke the kiss and you both sit down. All of a sudden fireworks started. Taehyung opened the wine and poured you some. He also cut you a piece of the cake. After eating you snuggled with Taehyung watching the rest of the firework show. You felt a happiness you haven’t felt in a long time. And you wanted it to never end.
