#35 - Impromptu Morning

Yoongi hissed as his eyes snapped open at the burning sensation that pricked at his skin by his wrists, making him look at them, only to find them cuffed in metal hand cuffs, his body propped against a wall. With as much movement that wasn't restrained, he attempted to look around and found Namjoon's unconscious body against the wall opposite him.

'Joon?' Yoongi whispered as quietly as he could, staring at his head which hung unpleasantly. He could see the blisters formed at Namjoon's wrists, but what he saw when Namjoon let out a groan and shifted his head pressed all the air our of his lungs.

Namjoon's shirt was ripped, almost shredding, as gashes trailed all around his torso and stomach, like he had been whipped. Yoongi's eyes widened, and he almost forgot that he too was chained as he made an attempt to plunge forward to reach Namjoon, but caught himself at the right moment.

'Namjoon, don't die on me man. Wake up!' Yoongi hissed, as he couldn't raise his voice, which would alarm anybody who was nearby that he was awake.

Namjoon groaned again, his head lulling from one side to the other, his eyes barely open, his breath shallow and broken. Then Yoongi heard footsteps: enough to raise his heart through the roof, as his head snapped to the direction of the dungeon door, the lock being fiddled with as the person on the other side attempted to unlock it.

Taehyung woke up to a glorious morning, and an even much glorious view by his side, as he turned his head towards you, his lips tugging into one of the most genuine smiles he'd mustered throughout his life span. His hand found your cheek, the pads of his fingers ever so softly brushing away the stray strands of hair away from you face which glowed beautifully from last night's session. He felt heat rush to his cheeks as he reminisced over last night's memories, playing them over and over again, until you shifted from his grip, turning around to expose your glorious back to him.

Although you were fast asleep, he had plans for waking you up in ways he always imagined to, but with the situation at hand, it would have to wait. Instead, he pressed his hand firmly against the back of your shoulder, before dragging it down the length of your spine, and back up to the nape of your neck, his fingers unintentionally tickling you under your chin. You squirmed, and he noticed goosebumps rising on the surface of your forearms as he continued the same motion, soon stirring you awake.

'Good morning, my love.' Taehyung whispered into your ear, your eyes fluttering open instantly at the hot breath that fanned against your skin. Your bodies laid attached for a few moments longer, your back still facing him before you decided to turn around, your hand rising to rest on his waist.

'Good morning,' You smiled up at him, shyness very evident in your voice as you nuzzled your face into his neck, not wanting him to see your bright red tainted cheeks. His chest vibrated in a hearty laughter as he pressed you closer against him, as though he were feeling you for one last time.

He pulled away to look at your face, 'Did you sleep well?' He asked as he searched your eyes for any trace or signs of lack of rest. You nodded, not trusting your voice wholly.

'You?' You whispered, as you looked through your lashes, up at him. And he could've sworn, if he were standing, his legs would've turned to jelly as his heart fluttered at the adorable sight. He chuckled, nodding his head, mirth in his eyes as he pressed a long kiss on your forehead.

'We should get up, don't you think?' You said as his hand found yours, intertwining his fingers with yours and staring at them, like they were a sight to behold. He hummed, his large hand still playing with yours, before pulling them to his lips, and placing saccharine kisses on each of your knuckles. You blushed, and he noticed, his eyes holding a certain tenderness as he watched you.

You leaned up and gave a quick peck on his lips before turning around and grabbing a shirt from the floor, which turned out to be Taehyung's, pulling it over your head and walking to the bathroom to freshen yourself up.

"I could honestly get used to seeing her in my clothes any day...or without it." He spoke telepathically, making you gasp lightly before turning around to face him, 'I can hear you, Taehyung.' Making his eyes widen with realization before you let out a giggle and stepped into the bathroom.

In an hour, both of you had pulled on fresh clothes, which were (by incredible chance) already available in the closet of the room. You managed to walk in the baggy sweatshirt and shorts while Taehyung found just the right fit, the pants being slightly short for him.

You walked into the kitchen hand in hand with his, a red eyed Jin at the table with a cup of coffee than had long gone cold, sitting as still as a corpse.

'Jin!' You left Taehyung's hand and rushed to him, you kneeling by Jin's side as Taehyung grabbed a chair beside him. Jin looked at you, a faint smile on his lips before staring into space again.

'Jin...what's wrong? Didn't you sleep last night?' You asked as you ran a comforting hand down the length of his arm when an embarrassing thought struck you: 'Did...did we keep you up?' You looked at Taehyung who sent you an amused looked before shifting your gaze back to Jin.

'He's been in the kitchen since last night, Y/N.' Jungkook's voice sounded as he walked in along with Jimin. You couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh of relief that it wasn't last night's activities that had kept him up. But then your relief was soon replaced by worry, 'Jinie, why didn't you sleep?'

Then you saw his eyes getting pooled with tears, before his lips began quivering violently and a sob escaped his lips, his hands wrapping around your neck and hugging you for some comfort, as your heart broke at the sudden break down. He was worried sick about Namjoon...that's what kept him up.

'Hey, Namjoon will be back, don't worry.' You rubbed his back comfortingly while he tightened his grip around your shoulders, your knees hurting from kneeling on the tiles for too long, but you didn't complain.

Just then, a thought occurred to Taehyung which caused his heart to begin beating rapidly. His thoughts scrambled around to find a well anchored harbor but failed, making him stand up abruptly.

'Jungkook,' Jungkook's head turned to Taehyung who walked across him, 'Can you please come with me?'
