Darling

:))))))

I come to my senses in a seated position with the sensation of being moved around, the noises reaching my ears sounding very much like... a car?

I slowly blink my eyes open, the clear sky a blinding light as it greets me at my right, buildings and people moving past us quickly before disappearing out of sight making it harder for my brain to process, because... wasn't I in the living room?

"Oh, someone finally decided to wake up" a voice chirps all of a sudden and I turn my head to my left to see Jin smiling at me, one that widens when I sleepily frown in confusion, what?

"I almost started believing you were in a coma, peach, you wouldn't react to anything I did or said so I figured you'd wake up on the way, we're going to our house for dinner, remember? With Hoseok and Jin" Jimin explains from the driver's seat, his eyes looking at me through the rear-view mirror to see my reaction before falling back on the road in front of us.

The man in the passenger's seat turns around to smile at me, Hoseok's sunshine face almost blinding as he lets out a small laugh, I must look awful right now, I sure feel weird, maybe Jimin's idea of a coma isn't so far off the truth after all.

"How long did I sleep for?" I mumble with a yawn, I'm still so tired but I should be fine later with an orange juice or something, I only hope I can hold on until then, I feel like I could fall back asleep in seconds.

"Oh not that long, maybe twenty minutes? Taehyung and Jungkook left a little after we got to your place, they asked us to tell you that they enjoyed spending time with you and that they can't wait to see you again soon" Hoseok answers before turning his attention to the front when Jimin turns into another street where the house is, his eyes curious about where we're headed.

I blush lightly at his words, soul warm but also filling with regrets because I can't believe I fell asleep on them, I couldn't even see them out and let them know that I hope they won't make me wait too long, that I too enjoyed our time together, that I can't wait to get to know them more, the promise of their decision to court me, something that sounds so outdated, enough to have butterflies come alive in my whole being.

It really happened, didn't it? Our cuddling in my bed, my playing around with Taehyung while Jungkook gazed at us with contentment, their warmth surrounding me as we spent time together in silence watching the TV, I wish it never ended.

It's not normal that I already miss them that much, it's barely been a few days, yet I do and I wish they'd be here right now.

They want to make me fall in love but isn't it already done? They won't struggle on that point, that much is sure.

Jimin pulls into the familiar driveway of the house he calls ours and when the engine turns silent, the keys pulled out swiftly, the three men open their doors to step outside with happy noises while I still try to process the fact that I fell asleep at home only to wake up in a moving car, my brain didn't like that one.

I watch as my twin brother walks around the car with a sigh before opening my door, after which he undoes my seatbelt to gently pull me out of the vehicle, it feels awful to use my body when all I want to do is snuggle back under a blanket but he doesn't give me much of a choice when the door closes behind me so we can walk to the house with his arm around my waist, Hoseok and Jin besides us, eyes creasing at my silent whining.

They better not leave me be for too long because I will probably find my way to Jimin's bed within one minute once inside.

"Are you going to be able to get through the evening, sweets? You look like you're going to fall asleep anytime now" Hoseok asks me, I shrug before hiding another yawn behind a hand and Jin chuckles, I don't need words to answer that question, my wobbly body is plenty enough.
