The next morning as Y/n slowly pulled herself from sleep she could feel something gently raking through her hair.

She stirred, mumbling a few incoherent words and luring a fond giggle from the hybrid beside her.

The soft laughter was enough to make the girl open her eyes. As she did she was met by the sight of Jungkook laying on his side with one hand tucked under his hand and the other playing with her hair as he smiled at her.

"Good morning." He whispers.

Y/n smiles back, reaching up and wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"Good morning...."

"Did you sleep well?"

Y/n nods as memories of the night prior slowly come to her. Instantly, a rosey tint rises to her cheeks at the realization of what an inconvenience she was to the boy.

"I'm really sorry about that."

Jungkook shakes his head dismissively.

"Don't be. It's not something you can control. Besides, I enjoyed cuddling with you all night. So, in a way...I'd say we're even now."

'Cuddle?'

Eyes widening in question Y/n can't hide the darkening blush on her cheeks.

"We cuddled?"

Jungkook nods.

"I was almost asleep when you scooted up next to me and practically burrowed yourself into my chest."

For a moment Jungkook watches as Y/n starts to look visibly panicked. This, in turn, also makes him start to panic.

"W-Was I supposed to push you away?"

Jungkook's eyes flash with worry at the thought of overstepping his host's boundaries.

Y/n notices and instantly reassures him that her boundaries weren't the problem.

"No it's not that. I just...I didn't want to make you uncomfortable... I mean, before last night you'd been pretty reserved. I wasn't sure what you were actually comfortable with and what you were just doing for my sake."

Jungkook looks the girl beside him over with a gentle gaze.

"It's not that you made me uncomfortable before... I think I was just nervous. I haven't been around female humans much. So, I wasn't sure what to talk to you about or how to relate to you. To be honest, the idea of making the first move made me anxious. So I shied away..."

Y/n nods knowingly as everything Jungkook had said made perfect sense.

Except for one minor thing.

"Then...if you don't mind me asking...what changed?"

Jungkook goes quiet for a moment as the gears in his brain work hard to phrase his next sentence in the best possible way.

"I guess I realized that you and I aren't so different... I used to get panic attacks pretty often back at the shelter. They were really scary. I remember feeling so isolated during that time. But, then I met the rest of my pack. They helped me through them.... And eventually they became rarer and rarer..."
