friends.

six.

Taehyung woke up in a panic when he realised that he had been sleeping for a little too long. With eyes barely open he grabbed his phone and sighed when he saw that it was the weekend and he had woken up at 6 am for no reason. It was hard to fall back asleep again, especially when he realised something was holding him down firmly.

Jeongguk had a strong arm holding his waist. He was still asleep so he was completely unaware of how he keeping Taehyung hostage.

"Jeongguk." Taehyung gently shook him, sighing in relief when the boy loosened his grip and hummed, "I'm gonna get up and study now-"

"No, stay with me." Half asleep and not realising his actions, he pulled Taehyung closer and on top of him which made the other gasp and freeze.

"Jeongguk." Taehyung whispered trying his best not to lay his head on the boys chest. He grunted as he rolled out of his tight grip until he was finally standing up, "How are you that strong?"

"Hm?" Jeongguk stirred around and slowly opened his eyes, "What are you doing?"

"I was just trying to wake you up," Taehyung decided not to embarrass Jeongguk and just laugh, "Do you wanna keep sleeping?"

"Yeah, 5 more minutes." Jeongguk pulled the covers over his head again which made the other chuckle.

"I don't know how you sleep for that long." Taehyung decided to go wash up and change, then let his mood change into a low one as the first thought he had was studying.

No, I won't study. I'm not even doing it because I enjoy it. I need to stop. Taehyung shook his head as he brushed his teeth and washed his face. He decided to get changed and mindlessly scroll through his phone until he had an idea on what else to do.

I'll make some breakfast. He smiled to himself once he was clad in some casual clothing; a plain black shirt with grey trousers. He dragged his feet to his door and felt a trapping uncomfortable feeling take over.

I'll be a failure if I don't study now. Taehyung gripped onto his door handle tight and squeezed his eyes shut. The uncomfortable sensation only got worse, until it became suffocating.

It's just stupid studying, it's not that serious. He told himself and pulled the door open. The feeling only grew worse but he continued to ignore it.

If you don't study before you eat you'll never be successful or happy.

"Shut up." Taehyung whispered to himself and walked over to the fridge to see what he could make. He decided on a simple sandwich as he felt like he wasn't capable enough to make something more advanced with thoughts that were constantly distracting him.

Study now or else you'll have bad luck this whole week.

Taehyung shook his head again and began to get the ingredients instead. He focused his attention entirely on what he was physically doing which helped him for a bit.

He knew Jeongguk liked that his sandwiches were cut in half as he thought it was neater, so he picked up a knife and decided to do as the boy liked.

Until a strong urge that he couldn't ignore began to creep up on him.

Taehyung stared at the knife with distressed eyes, his mind urging him to pull up his sleeve and satisfy the uncomfortable feeling in his chest. He didn't want to, but it felt like there were a second pair of hands taking over his body.

He slowly lifted his sleeve and sucked in a deep breath, the cold metal tickling the bare skin.

No, I shouldn't. Taehyung bit down on his tongue and pulled his other hand away to cut what he was meant to.
