Los Angeles - The Midnight

-----------------------------

It's been about a week since Taehyun had first joined the pack to sleep. It all began to feel normal to him, getting used to the feeling of waking up with someone still asleep next to him. However, as Taehyun woke up this time, he didn't see anyone else in the room. He yawned, his arms stretching above him as he slowly sat up on the bed.

He knew without looking that his hair was probably a mess, his eyelids still heavy as he tried to drag himself out of slumber. He rubbed his eyes slightly, yawning once again before moving to leave the bed. Once his vision was a little clearer, he noticed once again how empty the room was, slowly realizing how much he began relying on the others' energy in the morning.

He groggily left the bedroom, his posture hunched slightly as he closed the door behind him quietly. He could hear noise from the kitchen, assuming the others were putting breakfast together. He started walking over slowly, seeing Kai and Yeonjun moving with smiles on their faces as Taehyun noticed them cooking some food. By the looks of it, it seemed like they were almost done, Kai already placing some things on the table.

When Taehyun's eyes moved to the kitchen table, he noticed Beomgyu and Soobin slowly setting the table. When he got closer, he could hear the two of them whispering. Taehyun couldn't understand what they were saying, since he was too far away.

Taehyun only realized then how quiet he had been, no one in the pack noticing his presence. After yawning one more time, he slowly walked into the kitchen with a hand moving through his hair. He noticed that Beomgyu and Soobin quickly quieted down after seeing Taehyun, the younger now curious on what they were talking about but not having the energy to ask.

"Morning, sleepyhead. You look tired." Beomgyu crossed his arms in front of his chest, a smirk on his face as he noticed the groggy state Taehyun was in.

The delta could only pout slightly, nodding his head slowly as he approached the table. He noticed that the plates still needed to be distributed, getting ready to grab them when he felt hands on his. He quickly looked up to see the alpha looking back at him.

"Don't worry about these. I can pass them out when the food is ready." Soobin looked at the younger gently, rubbing a hand through Taehyun's hair. Taehyun couldn't help but smile, content at the contact from the other.

"But I haven't helped at all this morning." Taehyun continued to pout, only causing Soobin to giggle in response.

"It's fine. There's nothing to worry about." Soobin smiled before gently placing pressure on Taehyun's shoulders, causing the younger to sit down.

Taehyun could do nothing but smile, the others not taking long before joining him at the table. Even though this has been the routine for a little over a week now, something in him still couldn't get used to how close this pack was, realizing they were nothing like his current pack. Before he could dwell on it too much, he felt a hand lightly touch his arm. When he followed the contact, he noticed Yeonjun sitting next to him.
