La Douleur Exquise || Min Yoongi

Chapter 9

A/N: Hey guys. I know this is a late update and work & life are no excuses (Not that Bangtan's comeback helped cause they completely messed me up! I love the new album!) but I will make up for it. Meanwhile, enjoy the new chapter ^^  

It was still dark in your room when you woke up, very grateful to find out someone, probably Taehyung, had closed the curtains. Thankfully, you didn't have any more nightmares. It felt strange calling a dream involving Yoongi a nightmare but it was the best way to describe it – he wasn't acting like himself and that scared the absolute shit out of you. All you could do was hope it wouldn't affect your behavior around him. Well, it wasn't like he'd been hanging out with you a lot lately, or at all, but wishful thinking was another one of your flaws.

Taehyung: "Morning, sweetheart" the boy smiled entering the room with a tray overflowing with food.

Y/N: "Morning" you smiled back looking at the food "Is that all for me?"

Taehyung: "Of course, I already ate" he sat on the side of the bed handing you the tray "You didn't think I'd starve once I saw you were alright, did you?"

Y/N: "Starve? Really?" you rolled your eyes gratefully taking a bite from the strawberry pancakes "Isn't that a little overdramatic – it's only been a few hours."

Taehyung: "A few hours?" he laughed confused but then realized you had no idea just how long you were passed out for "Sweetheart, you were out for three and a half days!"

You froze, fork still in your mouth and eyes ready to pop out of your head. Three days? You were asleep for THREE DAYS!!! How?! It certainly didn't feel like it, although you had to admit you were exceptionally well rested. Why hadn't Taehyung woken you up thought? You had work and the pack... your eyes widened even further, borderline hurting now. THE PACK! You vaguely remembered Namjoon ordering them to split up to search around their territory for security purposes and you were no less terrified then than you were right now.

Taehyung: "Hey, it's ok" the boy caressed your cheek sensing what's worrying you – your first thought always being for the pack "Everyone is safe. They came back in one piece and there's no sign of trouble in the area."

You sighed deeply, relief coursing through your entire body. The tightness in your throat loosened up enough to let you swallow the piece of pancake in your mouth. Instinctively, you leaned into Taehyung, careful not to knock over the tray, and hugged him. You really did miss him – his scent, his smile, his voice, just him – your best friend and the only person you told everything.

Taehyung: "I'm sorry for not being here to help you, sweetheart" he whispered in your hair still holding you in his arms.

Y/N: "Tae..." you frowned pulling away "You are NOT doing this. There was no way..."

Taehyung: "I know" he sighed looking away "But I should've taken better care of your safety. Next time I'm hiring you a bodyguard.

You rolled your eyes but couldn't deny you felt happy knowing someone cared so deeply for you that they thought about your well-being even when they weren't there.

Y/N: "That's going a little overboard. Besides, I'm sure your father..."

Taehyung: "He was the one who suggested it in the first place" you gave him a confused look "I told him what happened when he called yesterday."

Y/N: "Did he..."

Taehyung: "No, he was quite shocked and worried, actually. I told you – he knows the pack is above all else. And he also knows someone as rare as you needs to be protected at all cost. You're an invaluable addition to the pack and we can't risk it."
