Jungkook leads me back to the cars, opening the passenger door for me. When he starts closing the door, I hold it open.

"Come on, Jungkookah." I wave my hand. "Hop in." He seems to hesitate but I reach out for his valid hand, tugging slightly on it.

He shakes his head with a smile and gets in next to me. I'm a little tipsy, but I'm really happy. Tonight was fun, carefree. I trust Hoseok with my life eyes closed. And if it came down to it I would've been able to fight too.

So I wasn't constantly looking over my shoulder. Jungkook was extremely kind the whole evening, we had really good laughs, and I was at the Blue House as a guest! I mean how often does that happen to people like me?? I chuckle to myself just thinking about it.

I'll have to tell Jin about it. I cross my hands over my lap and lean my head on Jungkook's shoulder. It's probably the alcohol that gave me the confidence to do that.

Hoseok is in front, so it's okay. I slowly start to feel my eyelids closing and before letting sleep take over I take out my phone. I almost forgot. I hold the camera on selfie mode and snap a slightly blurry and dark picture.

'Sorry, I almost forgot today's selca! Thank you for yours. Everything is fine on my end.' I glance at the photo and make sure Jungkook isn't on it. Well, we see his shoulder but that's fine. I put my phone away and let myself drift to sleep with the regular motion of the car. I feel myself drifting comfortably.

I can't tell if it's reality or if it's my imagination, but I feel someone taking my hand. Part of me is curious to know if I'm dreaming. But my body won't let me. Darkness slowly blinds me in the warm car.

I glance down at her and make sure she's sleeping before daring to take her hand in mine. Probably out of reflex, her hand closes over mine and I glance down at her sleeping face, lips slightly parted, hair falling over her face...

I let go of her hand and set her hair to the back so that it doesn't discomforts her. It's such a comfortable feeling having her spontaneously leaning on my shoulder.

"It's a bold thing she did." My eyes snap up at the person who spoke and I feel myself flashing red in embarrassment of being caught. Especially by Hoseok. Thank god for the darkness of the car. "I mean, taking Eun Ae's place. It definitely sent out a clear message out to that psycho."

I frown at that statement, confused but interested.

"How so?" I ask, risking sounding clueless. Hoseok turns his body to me as much as the seat allows him to.
