Taekook oneshots [Requests Open💜]

Crossed paths

Okay! So this one shot is longer than the others published so far, but so worth the time it took to write.:3 I hope it will be worth your while reading as well~♡ The beginning of this one is actually already a part of another story I have in my drafts right now called Let Me In. While there are some significant differences between this one shot and that story, some of this was used in the making of Let Me In.:3 I wish to release that soon, once I am done with New Leaf, Wish You were Here, and Now You're Mine.:3 But hopefully, you all will enjoy this one shot for now~♡ Let me know what you think~♡

The lone dark haired male stood in the center of the park, no light in close proximity. The singular lamp a great distance away from him casting dark and eerie shadows around his frail body. He stared up at the night sky, the midnight blue and purple hues speckled with millions of tiny, brightly glowing stars. The moon vanished into the night the day prior due to its cycle as the fog settled in around him, caressing his body tight. He remained motionless and staring up at the sky, watching the stars twinkle brighter and fade only slightly just to twinkle brightly again. He made a wish upon the brightest star, hoping that it would come true. That he would find his soulmate and they could go somewhere far away from here together.

His was a lonely existence. No one to really call a friend and more bullies that used him for their needs rather than beat him. Some days, he felt he'd rather take the beating than see their disgusting faces in pure ecstasy as they used him however they desired. He'd tried to fight back one time. That was when they felt it necessary to beat him into submission. He ended up in the hospital and they still got what they wanted from him. He was tired of it all. He was ready to just end it all. Only, he really didn't want to do that to his parents. They loved him dearly, they cared for him so much that he was hesitant at this moment. Hesitant to take his own life, even though he could hear the water rolling violently under the bridge that he finally rested his hand upon.

He heard the rustle of the leaves swaying gently in the breeze and turned his head toward the source and surprisingly, there was another young man present. He was sitting on the banister of the bridge, staring right at him. It was almost as if he were staring through him though. "Hey," the mysterious man greeted, offering a small wave and a comforting smile as well. The dark haired male hadn't heard him approach nor had he even noticed him climbing onto the banister right beside him. How had he been so silent and unnoticed?

The other male did appear familiar to him in a sense and he figured he must have seen him at school at least once. "Hey," the dark haired male greeted back, offering a small smile as well. The other male glanced back at the water gliding swiftly under the bridge, aware of the rocks that were just inches below the surface of the water. "What are you doing here? You obviously didn't come to enjoy the park," the other stated so blatantly as the dark haired male concentrated his question.

"Why are you so curious?" The dark haired male asked, chuckling softly under his breath. The other male was quiet for several seconds before laughing himself. "I'm just curious by nature, I guess. Were you planning on ending your life?" The other male asked softly and sincerely, causing the dark haired male to freeze completely. "Wh- Why would you ask that?" The dark haired male asked, faltering over his words as he realized just how transparent he was to this mysterious male now. "It's just a question, but by your reaction, I have my answer," the other stated nonchalantly, shrugging as those hauntingly beautiful and piercing eyes stared straight through him once again.

"No, i- it's not like that," the dark haired male continued to struggle with his words, watching as the other's eyes continued to pierce his very core. "If it's not like that, then why are you here?" The mysterious man asked softly, leaning back on his hands as he continued to watch the wheels turn in the dark haired male's head. The dark haired male finally removed his hand from the banister of the bridge with a heavy sigh, hyperaware that the mysterious man was watching his every move. "Fine... You were right the first time. I... was contemplating it, although I am aware that I wouldn't be able to go through with it," the dark haired male finally admitted as the mystery man clicked his tongue.
