TAEGI - VANILLA CANDLES

零

🌼🌼🌼

The obnoxiously loud music blasted from the speakers in the neighbouring apartment, a mumble of various explicit lyrics and mainstream American songs interfering with the calm soundtrack of the drama that was currently on the TV in front of the two friends who were silently cursing their overly popular neighbour. The red-haired male grabbed most of the yellow blanket that he shared with the blonde next to him and threw it over himself in an attempt to magically stop the irritating music, receiving an irritated groan in response to his action as the latter felt a cold breeze brush past his exposed legs.

'Tae!' The shorter yelled, annoyed at the younger's habit of hogging everything they had to share. Especially blankets during Autumn. It didn't take very long for said male to pop his head out from underneath the failed barrier between the party next door and quiet TV and send the elder a nervous smile, acknowledging the consequences his actions had caused. That was the last thing Yoongi needed. A puppy-like smile that made him forget that he was meant to be temporarily mad at his best friend and instead pulled him closer again and just snuggled into his warm sweater while they both watched the cliché drama that flashed on their TV.

Yoongi had known Taehyung since they were in nursery, immediately becoming friends when the younger had shared his apple juice when Yoongi had spilt his after tripping over his own school bag. Taehyung had always been the blonde's best friend, even when they were miles away after the younger had moved to Seoul from Daegu in middle school, the two never lost contact. So later on, when both of them met again after graduating from high school at university, it took almost no time at all for them to decide to become roommates. It was cheaper and they both had pleasant company.

There were certain drawbacks though. One of them being that their neighbour Jeongguk, who was one of the worst people to live in the same apartment block because of his incapability to just be quiet. Whether it was some party he was throwing for no reason at all or it was because he had his boyfriend Jimin over, the male was always producing noise.

'Do they even sleep?' Taehyung sighed, sinking into the sofa as he pouted, his face lit up by the phone he held in his hand displaying white numbers that read '1.24am'. The younger leant his head against the arm of the sofa, his warm cheeks contrasting with the cool leather, triggering a small shiver to erupt from him. The muffled speech coming from the TV was just another part of the unnecessary noise being created now so Yoongi switched it off, noticing the younger's small yawns from time to time.

Soon after, the music died down, replaced by the soft sound of small snores and the lingering scent of Taehyung's favourite vanilla candle.
