"I...We're friends, right...But...can you...Could you help me?" Taehyung frowns.
"Help you how?" He whispers and Yeona doesn't look at him.
"Move on." Taehyung frowns. He hates the idea of being a person she uses to move on. But at that very moment...

"Where's Jimin?" Yeona asks and she looks around, recognising her room. Taehyung sighs and stands up.
"He went home." Yeona nods slowly.
"I wasn't sure if I had a dream about seeing him or not." She chuckles and Taehyung manages to smile.
"Well, it was real. Now you should sleep. Get changed, take a good shower and sleep until late tomorrow." Taehyung nods to himself and starts walking out.
"Tae?" Yeona calls and Taehyung frowns, facing her once more.
"Yeah?"
"If you want you can stay here for the night. It's late." Taehyung seems to think about it and glances at the window across from Yeona's where the lights are on but the curtains are closed.
"If you get your chance don't miss it..." After Jimin said that, Taehyung thought about it, about his relationship with Yeona. Were they slowly moving towards a place where they could be more than friends?
Friends don't sleep together every night. Friends don't look at each other the way Taehyung and Yeona look at each other. If he says no and goes home tonight, it could make the big difference.
Back in Korea, back to 'normal life'? Would he be putting up boundaries by leaving now, when their different lives are about to start?
If he stayed, then he'd be accepting to go on the way they've been acting for the past six months. In Australia they even shared a room...
"Let me get my suitcase, I'll be right up." Yeona nods and Taehyung leaves the room.
After taking out a clean pyjamas, Yeona hops in the shower and gets cleaned up. She leaves the light on and lets Taehyung take his turn in the shower while she puts away her things from her suitcase.
She puts all the souvenirs for Jimin and her family on her desk.
"It's past 4am." Taehyung sighs, coming out of the shower and closing the door.
"Yeah, it's really late. Although we're lucky because with the time difference it does feel like 2am." Yeona jokes, since 2am still is very late after a day of travel. Taehyung laughs at the joke and sits on the bed.
Yeona stops cleaning away her staff and joins him, laying down and allowing him to spoon with her.
It just feels right to the both of them. It feels right and so natural. Yeona had other nightmares the past six months, and it was so much easier with Taehyung by her side. He woke her up when she was faced with the painful memories and helped her feel better.
Taehyung closes his arms around Yeona and breaths out, relaxing easily; sleep takes over both of them shortly after.
