The sound of curtains being drawn back interrupted your light slumber. The pain of a hangover ebbing away at your forehead. You had never felt the need to throw up so badly before.

Clink.

With a long rub of your eyes, they hesitantly opened, an angelic looking Taehyung stood over you, the sunlight from the window highlighting his frame.

Your eyes wandered to the source of the sound.

Water-

You looked back at Taehyung who was opened a packet of something and he dunked an orange tablet into the water. It fizzed. Orange aroma.

Licking your lips you suddenly felt shy. You could only imagine how deathly you appeared right now. A hot mess indeed.

Right now your priority was closing that window because the sunlight was painfully burning into your soul.

"Taehyunnng," you moaned.

Am I still drunk?

"Shh, get up and drink this" he ordered with a stern look.

You obeyed. Sitting up taking you a good few seconds but you managed. Your hair was now flowing, not that you remembered taking out the bobble to free the pony tail. With a smooth stroke, you nestled the stray strands with your hand and pulled the feathered fringes at the front over your head, failing when they all tumbled back over your eyes. You hmph'd.

With steady hands, you brought the glass to your lips, soft and careful taking the first sip. Strong fruity flavoured liquid caressing your nauseous stomach and before you knew it you had chugged the whole glass down in one. Taehyung just stared in disbelief.

"You and Jungkook sure have gotten good at drinking" he observed.

Gulp.

"Thanks for the drink," you smiled feeling more alive.

"Sure thing" he smiled back and walked over to the cupboard, rummaging for something.

You looker around, wondering why everything was so quiet.

"Where is everyone?" you piped up.

"Hoseok hyung is napping in the garden but everyone else went out on errands." His voice muffled.

Did he stay for me?

Feeling brave you asked, "so did they leave you behind to babysit me?"

He stood up and leant back to take a look at you and shook his head, "they were gone when I got up."

"Huh, where do you sleep normally?"

"With Jungkook."

"And he didn't wake you up?'

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"Coz I was sleeping in here with you."

"With me?" you almost shouted in shock, "the- the whole night?" Your stutter was so obvious, complicated emotion knitted over your brow. Taehyung stopped whatever he was doing and then lay back in bed on the empty side next to you. Head resting on his open hand, hair messy and biting his lip. "You didn't really give me a choice." His knowing smirk didn't help you feel any better. Instead you were afraid of what you might have said or done for that matter.

"Oh my God, I didn't make a pass at you or anything did I?" you grumbled, afraid to ask and hiding your face in your hands. One of the reasons being he was literally lying in bed next to you claiming that was where he was ALL NIGHT.
