You let Taehyung lead you into your room, not knowing what he was planning until he turns to face you, his expression suddenly serious.
"Taehyu-"
"Y/n"
You peer up at Taehyung, slightly confused.
"Yeah?" You cock your head to the side, a look of curiosity on your face before Tae rubs the back of his neck, letting out an exasperated sigh.
"I wish you would stop being so upset over Hoseok."
The words hit close to home as you instinctively step back, a small laugh escaping.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Gah— nothing, nevermind." Taehyung clears his throat and moves to sit on the bed, patting the spot next to him. "come cuddle with me."
You watch him carefully before brushing off his previous remark and moving to settle onto the mattress next to him. He immediately wraps his strong arms around your waist, falling back onto the bed and pulling you onto his chest.
"You should sleep, I can tell you're exhausted."
You huff and roll your eyes, lightly slapping his chest. "Since when did you tell me what to do TaeTae?"
He chuckles lowly, the rumble in his chest oddly comforting as he starts to gently rub your back. He was silent for a few minutes, the warmth from his body and the repetitive movements of his hand on your back causing you to drift in and out of conciousness fairly quickly.
"I care about you y/n" Tae finally mumbles. You give him a grunt of acknowledgement, letting him know you heard him before he continues. "More than you know— I hate seeing you so upset. It breaks my heart and I wish there was more I could do to ease the pain."
"Tae go to sleep" you mumble, shifting on his chest lightly as you start to doze off.
"I love you y/n" Tae whispers as you lose conciousness and drift to sleep.

You wake up to an empty bed. Taehyung had left earlier than usual, before your alarm, which struck you as odd but you didn't mind much. Tae was known to do this every so often so you get ready for work per your usual routine and head out.
"Thanks, for closing for Euna, y/n."
You nod at your boss. "I really don't mind. I could use the extra hours honestly." You chuckle lightly and he smiles.
"I'll be in the back office, once you're done just lock the door and head out, I'll set the alarm when I leave."
You nod and watch as your boss disappears into the back of the store.
You quickly finish wiping down the tables, straightening the condiments on the counter before slipping off your apron and hanging it up, moving to lock the door finally.
"I'm heading out!" You call back to your boss, who just sticks a hand out of his office door and waves, causing you to chuckle.

"Taehyung—" Hoseok narrows his eyes at the younger across the room who refuses to acknowledge his name.
"Hoseok." The boy mumbles after a few minutes.
"What are you doing with y/n?" Hoseok asks, drumming his fingers on his thigh as he leans back on the couch.
"Just hanging out, why do you care?" Taehyung doesnt make eye contact with Hoseok even though hes facing him at the kitchen table, aimlessly scrolling through twitter.
