Taehyung opened his eyes and emerged from his sleep with a slight burning sensation in his nape and a numb right arm. He did not pay attention to the burn and looked in the direction of his numb arm after his mind became clearer. If it was not the first time he surprised Jimin with his thumb in his mouth – a very persistent childhood habit that came back when he was very comfortable, as he defended himself – it was at least the first time he found him facing him, his head resting on his arm. His heartbeat quickened a little and Taehyung, who really wanted to, could have watched him sleep for hours by his side. But that was something he could not afford that morning.
« - Jimin. Wake up, Jimin. » He called, shaking him gently with his free and valid arm.
« - What? » Grumbled the sleeping head after releasing his thumb from his mouth, keeping his eyes closed and moving closer to his source of warmth.
A glimmer of adoration took place in Taehyung's eyes as he felt his heart fall a little more for his friend. He moved a few locks falling on his face.
« - I had a new dream and... and I remember a lot of things. »
Jimin opened his eyes, and he got up in a sitting position, immediately staring into Taehyung's eyes. But it was just as the latter was about to speak to tell him what he had seen that Jimin's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.
« - What...? » He asked.
« - Taehyung, you... »
« - What? What? » He repeated, a little worried this time.
« - Your eyes are blue... »
This time, it was Taehyung's turn to open his eyes wide as he repeated « What? », his tone reflecting all his anxiety this time. He tried to get up by leaning on his numb arm and fell back immediately, growling in the process. Jimin apologized in a whisper, feeling totally guilty, but, despite the situation, could not prevent his cheeks from turning pinkish as he quietly laughed. Taehyung got up again and rushed to the other side of the room to grab the bucket of water and bring it near the fire. He crouched afterwards and placed his face above the clear liquid. His eyes had indeed turned into a blue color.
« - What's that...? What will I do...? » He asked, looking up at Jimin wide-eyed again. « Everyone's going to notice that! »
Silence fell in the room; Jimin getting lost in his thoughts, wondering what could have happened or how they could possibly hide it. Taehyung looked down at the bucket of water again, unable to believe his eyes – quite literally. Until he remembered why he had woken up his friend in the first place.
« - I know! » He exclaimed so loudly that it made Jimin jump.
« - You have an idea? » Asked the latter as he brought his hand to his chest to calm his heart.
« - Maybe... Stay where you are, I'll try something. »
Jimin opened his mouth to say something but closed it when Taehyung stood in the middle of the room, eyes closed. Several minutes then passed during which Jimin seriously wondered what his friend was doing. How could standing up and closing his eyes help them? He was going to ask when Taehyung opened his eyes and hastily approached him.
« - What color are they now? » He asked.
Jimin slightly turned the face of his friend who was leaning in his direction so that the light of the fire would allow him to see properly. And when he saw, he moved back abruptly, widening his eyes.
« - Brown! They are brown! » He almost shouted.
« -Really? »
«- Yes, they are very brown. But... But what did you do? » He asked, moving his face closer to his again to better scan him.
