[Next Morning...]

The autumn sun hadn't even risen up the horizon, yet there was a bunny who was up and walking around a dimly lit room. It was quite a challenge for him to navigate his way around the dark room. Hence why, one could hear his bursts of painful but hushed shrieks occasionally when he would bump his not-so-little paws with some unforeseen object. It was not like he could turn the lights on, not when a cute little baby bear was sleeping so soundlessly on the bed. The poor bear would stir in his slumber once in a while because of our clumsy little bunny. In our bunny's defence, he was trying really hard to not make any sound, but sometimes the harder you try the worse it gets.

"Ouch!" our bunny, Jeon Jungkook cried once again. However, this time he didn't bump into something, rather something bumped into him, more precisely his head.

"The HELL. YOU. DOING!" Jungkook froze in his spot once he heard the deep, groggy voice reverberating in the room.

"What's wrong with you Jungkook? It's not even 5!" the same voice yelled again, but with increased annoyance.

Jungkook bent down to pick up the thrown object, a.k.a the pillow from the floor, before turning around and facing the wrath of the angry bear. His signature sheepish smile was his only defence. With soft thuds on the carpeted floor, Jungkook approached the angry bear, who was sitting on the bed. The bear's hair was sticking out in every direction, the nose was flaring and the cheeks were puffed out in anger. His eyes were barely open and had remnants of sleep, yet Jungkook could feel them burning holes in his body.

"Sorry, did I wake you up?" Jungkook softly apologised, handing over the thrown pillow, as a peace offering to Taehyung, the angry baby bear, who was looking very adorable despite the foul expressions on his face. Well, in Jungkook's opinion, from whatever he could make out in the dimly lit room, that is.

Taehyung snatched the peace offering with annoyance and yelled again, "Obviously you did! Why in the world are you up so early?" The crankiness in his voice never shied away from showcasing itself.

"Why sorry that I wanted to cook breakfast for someone ungrateful!" Jungkook huffed out with his arms crossed in a fake offence. The words of Jungkook, startled Taehyung to his sense and with wide eyes, he muttered, "What?" in disbelief.

"Well, If I don't cook early, you'll leave early yet again without your breakfast. Sorry that I wanted to be a caring friend..." Jungkook explained. The word 'friend' leaving a bitter aftertaste.

"Well, you get back to your sleep. I was just looking for something and I'll leave as soon as possible. Really sorry for the disturbance. I wasn't able to see properly in the darkness... haha!" Jungkook apologised for real, before turning to walk away.

"Wait!" Taehyung yelled in panic after he got over his shock and saw Jungkook leaving. With perplexion, Jungkook turned again and looked at Taehyung.

"You don't have to cook this early for me, Jungkook." Taehyung voice had lost its hostility, guilt had taken up the vacant space, instead.

"I don't?" Jungkook asked, more like inquired with an eyebrow raised.

Taehyung pried his eyes away from Jungkook. Fiddling with the pillow in his hands, Taehyung replied timidly, "Well, you know~ yesterday... I asked the dean to take me off of the morning classes... so you don't have to cook so early..." Taehyung trailed off before looking up at Jungkook and helplessly requesting him, "So please just sleep now. I am feeling really bad that you woke up this early because of me, and..." however his words got muffled because Jungkook had suddenly attacked him with a hug.
