When Jungkook woke up, the morning rays of sunlight were streaming in through the gaps in the curtains. He twisted in bed only to find Jimin's side of the bed empty.

He sat up with a small pout, rubbing sleep out of his eyes. Jungkook pushed himself off the bed and found Jimin in his and Hoseok's shared bathroom, rinsing his mouth after having just finished brushing his teeth.

Jimin gently patted his face dry with a hand towel when he felt Jungkook's arms wrap themselves around his waist and a smile found its way onto his lips.

"Good morning," Jungkook greeted with a pout that had Jimin chuckling fondly as he met the younger's eyes through the bathroom mirror.

"Hey, baby," he greeted back.

"You weren't in bed when I woke up," Jungkook complained and Jimin laughed.

"I'm sorry, bub. Had to pee really bad."

Jungkook hummed, pressing a kiss to Jimin's exposed neck.

"Do you remember anything about last night?" Jungkook asked suddenly and Jimin felt his heart drop.

"What do you mean?" Jimin asked, his heart beating hard.

Jungkook didn't seem to notice the change in Jimin's expression as he continued, "you've been talking in your sleep, baby. You woke me up twice, you know?"

Jimin seems to forget how to breathe for a minute, his throat suddenly feeling too dry, making it painful to swallow his own saliva.

"I did?"

"Yep. I didn't know what happened the first time. You seemed afraid of something and I didn't understand what happened but then Hobi told me it's something you do a lot when you sleep, so the second time, it wasn't hard to figure out that you were probably talking in your sleep."

Jimin stayed silent, unsure what to say, afraid to look Jungkook in the eyes.

"You don't remember any of it? You had your eyes open. But then the second time, I looked you right in the eyes and they seemed glazed over. You accidentally smacked me in the nose and then panicked in your sleep, bub," Jungkook said with a chuckle.

Jimin swallowed hard.

"You had your fingers brushing my nose asking me if I was okay and you kissed my nose too," Jungkook went on, smiling wide.

He looked at Jimin through the mirror and noticed his expression for the first time.

"I don't remember it," Jimin mumbled and he sounded...ashamed.

Jungkook brow furrowed and he opened his mouth to say something but Jimin beat him to it.

"Are you scared of me...?"
