Taehyung couldn't bring himself to get up until Jungkook was fully asleep. His body temperature lowered as the sweat cooled him down, yet Taehyung still didn't uncover him from his quilt. He made sure to cover him up well once he decided to rise.

To Taehyung's eyes, Jungkook appeared the most adorable, harmless, and sweet creature in the world, despite his piercings and tattoos. When asleep, Jungkook shed all sternness and strength, revealing a completely harmless and adorable human lost in his dreamland beneath the sheets. How come the piercings or the tattoos still couldn't make him seem any less adorable?

Taehyung's eyes gleamed with emotion as he observed Jungkook's vulnerability, contrasting with the usual image of Jungkook always running around, helping friends, and putting others before himself. Even in moments of losing control, like when facing those criminals who hurt his friend, Jungkook always displayed strength and bravery. But now, to Taehyung, he appeared peaceful and harmless.

Admiring him, Taehyung brushed Jungkook's hair gently, a gesture of admiration. He then leaned in to plant a tender kiss on his lips. The chaste kiss remained soft, mirroring Jungkook's tender state.

After a while, Taehyung decided to get up and explore the apartment, hoping to find some chores to finish so Jungkook wouldn't have to worry about them. To his surprise, Jungkook was meticulous about his work and never let Taehyung do chores for him, even when he would stay over. So, Taehyung didn't find much to do.

The dishes were already clean, with not a single cup left in the sink. Taehyung then checked the bathroom for laundry but found it already hanging on the frame, waiting to be dried. Sighing, he left the bathroom and continued his search for tasks.

Returning to the kitchen, Taehyung opened the fridge and suddenly knew what to do.

The fridge wasn't too disorganized to start with, but it could use some tidying up. Taehyung wanted to ensure that everything inside was fresh and safe for Jungkook, so he began by taking everything out.

Methodically, he emptied the fridge, then moved on to the deep chiller. As he slid the tray, something caught his attention immediately.

"A ton of ice cream? In this season?" Taehyung muttered to himself, perplexed. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that most of the boxes were empty, mostly all in only two flavors.

"Mint Choco and Strawberry Shortcake?" Taehyung sighed, realizing Jungkook's peculiar taste in ice cream but he didn't realize why Jungkook ate them a lot lately.

"Dowoo..." Jimin whispered, meeting his gaze, earning a soft hum from Dowoo in response.

The two laid on Dowoo's bed, nestled closely together, facing each other. They were in a cuddling position, with the taller one securely holding Jimin in his arms, offering his bicep as a pillow. Jimin gently ran his hands through his dark hair, feeling a sense of peace and contentment.

In that moment, Jimin forgot what he had intended to say as he became lost in Dowoo's attentive gaze. V's usual fierce eyes softened for Jimin, a sight Jimin had always cherished, feeling deeply loved and understood, after a very long time.

In silent contemplation, Jimin's eyes roamed over V's features, while V himself seemed lost in a trance, fixating on Jimin's plum lips, the gentle curve of his round cheeks, and the golden strands of his hair framing his face.

Without uttering a single word, they communicated volumes in that moment. Neither of them wanted to disrupt the tranquility by breaking the silence; Jimin simply allowed himself to be, while V absorbed everything through the soft gaze upon him.
