home; kv.

twenty one.

taehyung's squirmed in his sleep, opening his eyes briefly after in a state of fear. he glanced around the room with wide eyes only for it to be too dark, even the moonlight gave him no comfort.

then the sound of loud clattering could be heard from outside his room which made him freeze, breath even stopping at his throat. it was a continuous sound repeating itself and circling his head.

it's just a nightmare. slowly he turned towards where jeongguk was laying, "jeongguk, are you awake?" he whispered but received no response, "can i turn the light on?"

however he was too scared to turn anything on. the sound hadn't stopped which now convinced him they were getting robbed and it wasn't just his dream continuing after abruptly waking up.

"get up." he whispered a little loud and roughly poked jeongguk's side who winced and sat up with a sharp inhale, "can you hear that? i think we're being robbed- call the police."

jeongguk sat there tiredly and stared at the door, scrunching his face up as he waited for a sound. but to him, there was nothing.

"it's fucking dead silent and it's the middle of the night, go back to sleep." jeongguk croaked before eventually lying back down.

"what but i swear-" taehyung passed when he realised the sounds had stopped too. it freaked him beyond anything. so he hesitantly laid back down and shuffled closer to jeongguk, wrapping his arms around the elders broad back for security.

now that kept the other awake. all the sleep inside of the brunette left his body in a matter of seconds and his eyes grew wide.

wow. his hands feel nice. jeongguk referred to the slim hands resting on his bare chest lightly, then he noticed the rapid breathing fanning against his back and taehyung's pounding heart thumping against his spine.

"relax, there's no one there it must've been something outside." he calmly stated and it seemed to work after a few seconds of taehyung letting that thought sink in. the breathing became lighter and his heart pounding against jeongguk's spine became faint.

after a couple more minutes, taehyung was fast asleep soundly against the elder. unfortunately he removed his arms to hold himself out of habit and that made jeongguk slowly turn around.

jeongguk could barely make out his face due to it being so dark, thanks to the boy have no curtains he could see his face a little more and that was enough to make him stare.

no. cut it out. none of this bullshit i promised myself i wouldn't like anyone again. he chewed on his bottom lip as his hand itched towards the boys face. it lingered in the air for a bit before he slowly brushed loose strands of hair from taehyung's face and let the soft flesh of his features brush against his fingertips.

immediately he snatched his hand away and sat up, rubbing his face out of frustration.

no. not happening. he decided to distract himself since now he was wide awake. he picked up his phone and frowned when it was actually 4 am and not the middle of the night. he also instantly thought about how taehyung would wake up for work soon which annoyed him even more since he couldn't stop thinking about the boy.

"where are you going?" taehyung was quick to wake up the second he felt jeongguk stans up from the bed.

"um, go workout or something." jeongguk replied as he picked up shirt.

"no don't go, i'm still scared." taehyung whined. that would make jeongguk stay but the boy was determined to not let the boy have an influence on him.
