"Take me to the sky
If I can fly
If I can run away forever
If my wings could fly
Piercing through the air that's getting heavier
Flying, flying
Higher than, higher than
Higher than the sky"

It was like a dream, it had to be.

The moment they woke up, they unpacked their belongings, Jungkook helping Taehyung make his place feel even more like home by putting his own belongings there.

Taehyung smiled once he spotted the younger's slippers on the side of the door where they put their shoes before they go out the house and take them off once they come back in. The new pair of shoes which belonged to his pretty eyes made his heart flutter. It felt giddy and exciting, to have him living with him in their own home far away from everyone. As if it's their own little world.

Jungkook dressed comfortably with an oversized sweater and joggers, he ran from the kitchen with a bunny smile and threw himself to the couch in the living room, bouncing up in the process. He bit on his apple and turned to see Taehyung staring at him dreamily.

"What?" Jungkook raised one eyebrow.

"Nothing, you just—" he answered and then took a breath as a wave of relief and peace finally washed over him "you just look so cute, so pretty, all happy and comfortable."

"I am, I really like your house" Jungkook admitted "and now that we've unpacked, it feels even more like home."

"Most of your belongings are in New York but we can ask for them to be brought here."

"Tae, I'm going back when this is all over" Jungkook said and the older nodded.

"I know, but if you ever decide to move to Seoul, or visit, then you'll have a comfortable place to be in" Taehyung tried, brushing off the small pang on his chest when the younger said he'll leave.

"You're coming back to New York with me right?" Jungkook frowned.

"I- I don't know, I'm not sure Kookie" Taehyung scratched the back of his neck awkwardly "I've never lived there, I lived in Canada and there's nothing for me there. I think I might just stay here in Korea."

"Oh" Jungkook gulped and looked down, he didn't expect that. He thought Taehyung would come with him just like how he went and traveled everywhere just to meet him.

If Taehyung isn't willing to stay with him then why did he do all of this for him? What's gonna happen next? Is all Jungkook could think. He felt confused to say the least, Taehyung is fighting for them but he'll stay?
