"Nami." Taehyungs husky voice fell on Namis ears.

She slept on the couch, she looked to her side. Taehyung lay on the floor next to her. He wasn't asleep. He got up and sat next to Nami.

"Your not in that horrible place anymore.. your here next to me." Taehyung said softly.

He took her hand.

"Oh my god your cold and shivering." Taehyung noticed.

"I'm okay." She tried to sound convincing.

Taehyung knew she was bottling her feelings inside. "Talk to me Nami. I'll always hear you." He said

Her eyes watered and she spilled her heart out to Taehyung.

"His face was black and his eyes were scary..."

"When I turned around... that creature had huge ears... I was terrified."

"So much pain.. Tae..." she closed her eyes, tears rolling down her eyes.

"The pain I felt.. it was horrible... I never ever want to see darkness Tae.."

She sobbed so much. She stared hiccuping uncontrollably. Her breathing got uneven. All the faces, the horrible eyes, the misery filled dungeon flowed through her mind.

Taehyung panicked.

"Hey breathe! Nami look at me... Breathe slowly.." he tried to help.

He pulled her on his lap. She faced him. Her hiccups still prominent. She was getting difficulty in breathing.

"Nami... Breathe..  Look at me. Calm down. It's over. You won't go back in there again nothing will happen. This time I wasn't there but I will be later on... I'll make sure." Taehyung rubbed her back. He rocked her back and forth.

He helped her breathing lighten. Her sobs slowly dying down and her hiccups coming to rest.

Taehyung succeed in calming her down. She automatically dipped on his chest. He asked  "Better?"

Nami replied "Just hold me..."

"Always." Taehyung said determined.

He layed her back down. He caressed her forehead. He covered her cold body in a blanket. He sat next to her.

"I'll pat you to sleep." He said

As Taehyung slowly patted her, her eyelids became heavy but she couldn't fall into deep sleep. She wasn't able to sleep peacefully.

Taehyung didn't leave her side, he was really upset. All the events of today angered him and made him sad. What Nami has been through. Whatever she saw it was Brutal and unfair to her. How couldn't he protect her? This made him feel angry on himself. He felt he was at fault.

"Tae..." Nami said eyes closed.

"Yes Nami." Tae replied in a moment attentively.

"Can you lay down with me.. I know the couch is small and Uncomfortable but.." Before Nami could complete Taehyung moved up close to Nami. He placed himself on the other side of the couch. He put an arm around her, pulling her onto him carefully. He intervened their legs together to create more space. Nami left her body loose, as Taehyung made all adjustments. He drew random patterns with his fingertips on her stomach.

"Comfortable?" Taehyung asked

"Super comfy." Nami replied.

"Your hair is really soft." Taehyung said as he played with strands of her hair.

"Really? Thank you. Do you think I'm heavy?" Nami asked.

"Your as light as a feather. All the more reasons I have to take care of you." Taehyung said

Nami yawned and said "I can take care of myself."

"Of course you can, but it's my job to protect what belongs to me." Taehyung smiled and said

"Okay I get it... stop.." Nami replied clearly shy.

"Are you blushing again?" Taehyung asked cheekily.

"What?.. no I'm not.. Taehyung!" She complained.

"Okay okay ... sleep now. Get some rest. You must be tired." Taehyung said.

Nami nodded in his chest and snuggled closer to him. His warmth made her feel more secure and safe. She would sleep peacefully in his arms and with him so close.

But she didn't tell Taehyung about her encounter with the mystery glowing light. She thought it was just a illusion or a mirage. But she wasn't sure either

Should she hide this from him?
