I woke up feeling empty and alone. I only understood why when I realised that Taehyung was no longer with me.
I sighed, why would he be? He probably thought I was annoying so left me, he probably had better things to do, he probably only came back yesterday out of pity, he probably hate-
I was brought out of my thoughts when a coffee was shoved towards me. I saw that Taehyung was the one holding it and I smiled in relief, taking the cup in the process.
We sat silently sipping our coffee for a while until we are both done. Taehyung pulled me to my feet and started walking. He was still gripping my hand, something that didn't go unnoticed. I squeezed it lightly and I could see him smile at the action.
Seeing him happy made me feel even happier than I already was. My heart was still fluttering by the time we reached the mystery destination.
It was a small kids playground
I raised an eyebrow at his childish choice of face but he ignored me and dragged me over to a small roundabout. I had only just sat down when Taehyung starting spinning it really quickly.
I clung tightly to the small bars supporting me when Taehyung suddenly stopped it. I was flung backwards and hit the ground, scrapping my elbow in the process.
Taehyung immediately ran over to me and helped me up. The worry on his face caused me to smile, making him frown. His facial expression only became more amusing to me and I smiled even wider.
He seemed to finally grasp the fact that I found the situation funny and started smiling himself. We walked away from the park, hand in hand. Some people gave is dirty looks but at that moment I couldn't care less.

I finally felt happy. After all this time of emptiness, I finally felt a good emotion. And it was all down to the boy beside me. I didn't know whether it was his perky personality or his pretty face, but something about him made me feel invincible.
It confused me. This one guy had changed my life in only a few days. My heart was starting to beat faster, my smile only growing in size as I realised just how important he was to me.
Taehyung noticed my upbeat mood and squeezed my hand with a small smile on his face. So pretty.
Then it hit me. Taehyung could leave at any moment, and then I would be all alone again. I would feel sad and lost. My smile quickly changed into a deep frown. I didn't want to lose Taehyung.
The thought that he meant that much to me scared me and I stop abruptly in my tracks, pulling Taehyung to a halt next to me. He looked more than confused, especially when he saw the look on my face.
I didn't know what I was doing, why I had stopped. I sat down, removing my hand from Taehyung's. He crouched next to me but I flinched away.
I couldn't let myself do this. I looked at him and met his eyes. They looked tired and worried, something that made me hurt a bit inside. I shook my head, and gave him the best apologetic look before jumping up and running.
And I only stopped when I collapsed from exhaustion

I woke up when it began to rain. My feet ached, and my heart hurt. I slowly pulled myself to my feet. I looked back at the town I had run from. It was so far away in the distance, yet it still hurt that nobody had followed me.

Why would they?
I let a single tear fall just before the rain began to get heavier. I didn't care about my aching bones or the fact that I was freezing cold. I just wanted one person, but -at the same time- I didn't want him either.
I had to run away. It was the right thing to do. I doubted my own thoughts but soon brushed it away.
It was the right thing to do. I had to run away before anything happened.
Before I fell in love with Taehyung.
But I couldn't help feeling that I already had.

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!

The territory of Palmetto, ragged and mean, was once the banishing lands for the kings of the Old World. In that sea of hills they exiled their enemies, their upstarts, the deposed tyrants and rebels who came too close. Ancient prisons emptied their depths into Palmetto. Persecuted tribes fled to the refuge of its hideaway valleys. After a century and some, the land of Palmetto had evolved into a patchwork of flimsy feudalism, cult compounds, and grift economies. The merchant princes, having built some gleam of stability, reached out to the Old World's new kings for help in raising the orderly sword of bureaucracy. The event known as the Papercut Revolution closed the First Era. The new dawn rose on The Directory, who took the yoke of power into their responsible hands and began to bring forth their Good Era.
