Two hours later, it was midnight and Taehyung had shifted his sleeping position in bed for the umpteenth time. He slid further down his blanket to filter out the orange glow reflected on the ceiling from outside the windows.
After once again failing to find the most satisfying posture for sleep to dawn on him, he ripped the blanket off his body in frustration.
Taehyung simply couldn't sleep.
Not when the tiny voice at the back of his head wouldn't stop haunting him with the words,
