December 30; 3:37am

Jennie decided to text 'Happy Birthday' to Taehyung at 3am in the morning. She didn't know why or how, but she decided to. Later on Jennie panicked, and her hands felt cold. She was worried that Taehyung would be sleeping and she suddenly disturbed him. Unexpectedly, a phone call came. She brought her phone up and Taehyung's name appeared on the screen. She panicked again, this time she was more nervous. Although she answered it anyway. "Hello?" Taehyung's sleepy and raspy voice was heard. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you." Jennie replied with a soft voice and Taehyung chuckled. "Its okay babe." Jennie was surprised by the name she was called by Taehyung. Her cheeks felt warm. She later speculated that he was drunk and he probably came home after a party. "Happy Birthday Taehyung." Jennie said, again with a sweet and loving tone but softly. "Can I come over?" He asked, is he forgetting that I share a house with my family? Jennie thought. Jennie didn't say anything and the phone call was blank, but none of them hung up. Minutes passed, an hour maybe, and Taehyung suddenly speaks, "I'm here." He giggles and Jennie rushes to look at her bedroom window. What a moron. Jennie whispers as Taehyung waves back at her. She realizes that he didn't use his car, but he walked his way to her house. She quietly walks down the stairs and she unlocks the front door. She approaches Taehyung. The mixed smell of alcohol and his perfume got stronger every time Taehyung took another step closer to her. He opens his arms and hugs Jennie. She sighs and hugs him back tightly as she rests her head at his shoulder. "I love you." He whispers, and Jennie lets go. She grabs his wrist and quietly leads him to Jennie's bedroom. Once she had brought him inside she dropped him at the bed. "What do I do to you." She crosses her arms. Taehyung lay down at the bed and he sleepily closes his eyes.

Jennie's POV

I observed Taehyung as he slept. How his perfect brown hair fell on his face and his long lashes as he closed his eyes. I left the room and got him water from downstairs. As I came back, he wasn't there. I looked everywhere, inside the closet, and under the bed. I prayed that the bathroom will be the last place where I'll look and find him. I twisted the door knob and see Taehyung. I gasped as I immediately, but silently closed the door and tried to process what I just saw. I ran to my bed and held a pillow. I hear a toilet flush and the sink running. He then opens the door and closes the light in the bathroom. Taehyung comes out and says, "I was about to aask youu whereer the bathroom was, but you weren't hhere so II haad to finddd it myselfpd." He drunkenly said. He didn't say anything afterwards which means he didn't have an idea whatsoever on what just happened. I stood up from the bed and I handed him the glass of water. The shakiness of my hand was obvious. He took the glass of water from me and drank it. He then puts in down on the table beside the bed and he kisses me on the cheek. He lay on the bed and begged me to say beside him. After a few seconds of arguing whether or not I should stay beside him. I gave in. I lay beside him as I position a pillow between us. He pouts but he didn't mind it afterwards. The next few minutes he just kept talking and talking. It was like he wasn't tired at all. He'd ask me questions and he'd accidentally tell stories and secrets since he's careless. "I have a friend in Korea." He said, "His name is Jimin, and he's a bit older than us but I find him cute and I hope you do too." He smiles and I just appreciated the way he liked him. He looks at me and says, "I want you to meet my grandmother too. She'll like you as much as I do." His voice saddens and says, "Even if she's not here anymore." He took a big sigh and tears formed in his eyes, "Taehyung, I-" He cuts me off, "It's alright." He took a deep breath and sighed again. I decided to remove the pillow that divided us and hugged him from behind. "I'm here Taehyung." I whispered and he adjusts himself to face me and he holds me tightly. His touch felt warm and I've never felt so protected my whole life. I look up to him and watched his eyes drifted to sleep. "I love you too Taehyung." I then close my eyes and slept.

I wake up around 9am. He wasn't beside me anymore. I realized that my next class was at 10 so I headed to the bathroom to get ready.
