"Like this?" She asked

"Yeah, just like this. Sleep now. I'm not going anywhere"

I watched as her breathing slowed and she drifted off to sleep in my arms. I couldn't help but feel a sense of protectiveness wash over me, seeing her so vulnerable and small against me. I shifted slightly, adjusting my position to make sure she were comfortable. I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her closer and feeling the steady rise and fall of her chest against me

After staring and admiring her face for sometime, I reminded that we were still on the floor

"You'll catch a cold if you sleep here" I murmured as I gently lifted her in my arms, her small frame fitting perfectly against my chest. I carried her to the bed, gently placing her down on the soft mattress and covering her with the duvet. I watched as she settled into the bed, her small form hidden beneath the blankets. I couldn't help but admire how peaceful and beautiful she looked while asleep. I laid down beside her. I found myself just observing her sleeping face. The soft, steady rise and fall of her chest, the peaceful expression on her face, it all stirred something within me. I found myself gently running my hand through her hair, just gazing at her with a soft expression. I couldn't explain it, but I felt a strange sense of protectiveness and tenderness towards her. It was a foreign feeling, one I hadn't experienced in a long time

I continued to watch her sleep, my thoughts swirling in my head. I knew that I shouldn't feel this way, that I should keep my distance from her. But somehow, I couldn't help myself. The more I looked at her, the more I found myself drawn to her

After a while, I finally let myself succumb to sleep, my body fully relaxed and my mind at ease, knowing that she were safe in my arms. I pulled her closer, my body curling around her as I slipped into a deep, dreamless sleep

Time skip:

The sun streamed through the curtains, bathing the room in a soft, early morning light. I slowly stirred awake, my eyes slowly opening as I became aware of my surroundings. I realized immediately that she were still lying next to me, her body was close against me. I lifted my head slightly, my gaze falling on her sleeping face. I found myself admiring her soft features, her eyelashes casting delicate shadows on her cheeks

"Gummorning" she mumbled all of a sudden

"Morning, doll. Slept well?"

"Hmm" My lips curved into a small smile as I heard her sleepy mumbling. I stretched slightly, my muscles were still heavy with the remnants of sleep

"Still feeling sleepy?" I asked

"Naurrr"

"Oh? I don't think so"

"Are you expecting me to twerk now?"

"Not quite the activity I had in mind for early morning" I paused for a moment, "Why? You offering?" I asked and raised an eyebrow, my expression turning slightly playful. "No!" She yelled slightly, I chuckled again, enjoying the way she got flustered at my teasing

"Aw, too bad. I was hoping for a little show" I smirked and reached out my hand, gently tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear

𝗬/𝗡'𝘀 𝗣𝗢𝗩:

"I was just joking" I said

"I know" he murmured and continued to gaze at me, taking in my sleepy, disheveled appearance. There was something endearing about the way he was looking at my eyes deeply, something.. special? "Get up and get ready for breakfast, you're going somewhere today in the afternoon" he said as he stood up. "Somewhere?" I asked in a confused tone. "Mhm yes doll, somewhere special. And I expect you to be all ready and prepped by noon. Now get up and get ready, I'll go to the work now." He said and I saw him choosing his suit

"Won't you.. eat breakfast?"

He paused and replied, "I need to leave soon. I don't have time for breakfast." His tone changed slightly as he went back in his cold demeanor. He continued to rummage through his wardrobe, pulling out a suit and laying it out on the bed. I didn't reply anything but frowned and looked down. He spared me a glance as he noticed my frown, but quickly shrugged it off.

"What's with the frown, doll?" He said in a casual tone as he began to unbutton his shirt

"Oh nothing" I said and looked at him and my eyes widened, my expression changed from sad to shocked

"You sure?" he noticed my widened eyes, a smirk tugging at his lips as he realized I had spotted his bare chest

"N-nothing I'm going, bye!!" I stuttered and tried to run out from the room. Taehyung chuckled as I tried to make a quick escape, but he was quicker. He moved with surprising speed, catching me by the wrists before I could dart out of the room. "Whoa whoa, doll. Trying to run away already? Can't handle a little glimpse of my chest?" He asked. "Shameless" I murmured.

"Shameless? Me? Hardly. I'm just confident in my assets. Nothing wrong with that, is there?" He chuckled while saying

"You're changing in front of a girl!"

"Oh please, It's not like I'm stripping naked  in front of you. I'm just changing my shirt. No need to be so scandalized"

I became a red tomato and said, "S-shut up! Let me go!"

"Not so easily."

"SEE THERE'S A COCKROACH!!!!!!!!" I screamed

His eyebrows shot up in surprise at my sudden scream. He turned his head to look in the direction I was looking, expecting to see a cockroach. Instead, he saw nothing. "What are you.. where? I don't see anything" he turned and saw that I ran out from the room successfully

He let out a mix of a laugh and shook his head as I managed to slip out of his grasp and run out of the room. "Sneaky little doll" he muttered under his breath, a hint of admiration in his voice

He quickly finished changing into his suit, his mind still on the brief exchange with me and my unexpected reaction to seeing him shirtless
