When Jungkook woke up in the morning, it was raining again. Maybe not as much as during yesterday's storm, but there was a thick fog hanging over the city, which quickly turned into another lazy fall. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was five minutes past seven. It meant Jungkook somehow managed to sleep over three hours without any interruptions. Cigarettes really did help him this time.
He got woken up just now with this horrible sound of the rain tapping on his windows. JK growled and timidly sat on the couch, still wrapped in the blanket; it wasn't as cold as at night, so he immediately threw it over on the floor. Then he looked around his apartment trying to figure out if everything was still in place. The most important things were Taehyung's shoes and bag, which indicated the boy hadn't left yet. He had a terrible habit of vanishing in the mornings after serious talks. Fortunately this time, his belongings were still in the hall, so Jungkook didn't have to worry so much.
Still, he was quite concerned and had to know what exactly was happening with the boy. At night he didn't check up on him, afraid he would wake him up, but now the situation was quite different. In the end, it was another morning, and knowing how serious Taehyung was about school stuff, he most probably had already woken up to prepare himself for another tiring day. If he wanted to be on time for the first period, he would have to get ready just now.
It was crazy for JK to even think about school right now, but, as it was already proven, he and Taehyung were quite different. At least in this case.
Jungkook stood up and went straight to the door of his bedroom. He was a little hesitant to open them, but finally, he gently grabbed the handle and pushed forward. He didn't quite know what to expect but he was happy to find Taehyung calmly sleeping in his bed.
The boy hugged the pillow tightly, but his body seemed relaxed. His chest rose and fell steadily, suggesting he had finally found some peace. Sleep guaranteed him a moment of oblivion and escape from all bad emotions and thoughts; it freed him from tears and simply made him feel better, although only seemingly. Nevertheless, sleep was everything Taehyung needed right now and Jungkook would have to be completely heartless to wake him up now.
So he slowly backed out of the room and closed the door behind him. Only then did he allow to take a deep breath and even longer exhale. The image of the boy sleeping peacefully was so hopeful, that Jungkook couldn't help but smile a little. Things finally started to fall into place. Or so he hoped.
The question remained, what Jungkook was supposed to do now? Surely he didn't want to go to school; apart from classes he wanted to avoid at any given time really, he also couldn't leave the boy alone for so long. He didn't know how much longer Taehyung would be asleep, but JK hoped it would be at least as long as it rains.
Trying to catch some more sleep on the couch was of no use either. Jungkook felt as if these few hours of sleep he managed to get were all he could wish for in these conditions. He was glad that he had this much. Under such circumstances, it was a quite lot. Besides JK didn't want to test his luck like this. If a few minutes of sleep right now meant he would get none the following night, he would gladly abandon any further tries today.
