I woke up because I felt cold, tugging the covers up higher on my neck to be buried underneath. It came back to me that Taehyung had been here when I fell asleep last night, and figured he was gone by now. I was right.

Well I thought, until I heard jazz music coming from downstairs and I could smell coffee, it was a really strong scent. I stood up and walked to the end of the loft to look over, seeing Taehyung sitting at the table reading the pages of a book and drinking from a mug of mine.

I realized how uncomfortable I was because I had slept in my clothes so I went quickly to the closet and changed into pajama shorts and just a big t-shirt to be as comfortable as possible. I looked at myself in the mirror and laughed at the makeup under my eyes being so drastic, so I cleaned my face a little and brushed my teeth.

When I finally got downstairs, Taehyung peaked up at me at the same time he reached for his phone in front of him and turned the volume down. "Good morning." He said in his husky low voice.

I gave him a little smile and pulled out the chair across from him. "Good morning." He went back to looking at his book so I spoke again. "How long have you been down here?"

He kept his eyes on the page as he talked. "Maybe an hour. I read up in the bed but you kept moving around so I didn't want you to wake up."

I giggled a little, trying to remember why I would have been moving around. "I think I had a dream I was swimming or something."

"I haven't had a dream since I was, maybe, 12."

"That long?" I asked him.

He finally set the book down but picked up his coffee, nodding before he took a sip.

"I have a dream every night, I think." I was speaking honestly, I had a dream even when I took naps and for the most part they didn't make sense or were a bunch of random things or people together.

I knew he heard my stomach grumble when he chuckled under his breath, his hand running through his hair. I stood up to go to the kitchen and I opened the fridge, rummaging through the left overs and uncooked foods until I spotted some yogurt. I pulled it out and got a spoon to go with it. When I walked back Taehyung slid the chair beside him out, signaling for my to sit in it.

"When Is JK coming back?" He asked as I sat down.

"Tomorrow." I said and popped open the lid, making sure to get a chunk of the blueberry on my spoon. "I haven't heard from him yet, so I hope everything is going good."

"Is that normal to not hear from him?" I saw Taehyung looking at me and then down my body, my legs were pulled up on the chair with me against my chest.

I took another bite and looked away from him, attempting to avoid my face getting red. "Pretty much. He never checks his phone. It's never a problem because I'm always with him but times like this it sucks."

Before he responded, his hand reached over to my knee and began tracing over spots that were imprinted like wrinkles. "You slept in your clothes last night."

"Yeah, big mistake." I laughed, then set down my now empty yogurt container.

"You slept like a rock for most of the night though." He said like he was sure.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confused and looked at him, he didn't show any expression on his face, his specialty. "How do you know?"

"I didn't sleep a lot, I guess." By now he picked up his hand to grab his phone and shut the music off. "I saw something on the side of your fridge."
