Taehyung's POV.

If I had thought that my performance at the dance session yesterday would've changed anything, I was deeply mistaken.

The members do not return to the dorm even when the clock hits twelve and all I am provided with is a few texts from Jungkook.

Kookie sent 11.59pm
Don't wait for us.

sent 11.59pm TaeTae
Why? Where r u guys?

Kookie?

Jungkook?

sent 12.05 TaeTae
Pls don't ignore me.

Read 12.06am

I give up after that.

There is no point. He will not answer.

I don't dare texting the others however.

Even Hoseok.

Just because he had been especially kind to meet at dance, allowing me to take a day off, I knew that it didn't mean he suddenly adored my presence.

I ignore Jungkook, and remain on the couch, my eyes growing heavier by every second.

I am determined not to fall asleep.

I will wait for them, like they would do in my dreams. In my deepest dreams. The dreams I treasured, when they would treat me like I belonged. A feeling I had never experienced.

I tug the thin blankets closer to me, wiping the drool from mouth with the back of my hand.

The clock reads four o'clock and still the members are not present.

Worry for my only family strums at my heartstrings and I find myself blindly reaching for my phone. At the moment I do not care about the consequences of texting such person. I don't care how long it will take for him to reply.

They just have to be safe.
