Taehyung groans as his phone vibrates against his nightstand.

He grabs it checking the time before swiping answer, it's nearly four in the morning and he had just began to fall asleep.

"Hello?" Taehyung says keeping his eyes shut.

"H-Hey Taehyung." Taeil's voice comes through the phone.

"Taeil?" Taehyung asks, his eyes opening.

"Y-Yeah. It's Taeil." Taeil says.

"What's up? Are you okay?" Taehyung asks sitting up and turning his lamp on.

"Yeah." Taeil says but Taehyung doesn't believe it.

"Are you sure?" Taehyung asks.

"No." Taeil says in a much quieter voice.

"What's wrong, hyung?" Taehyung asks kicking his blanket from his legs.

"I just. I really need someone to talk to. And I know it's late but. I could only think of you to call." Taeil says.

Taehyung's concerned expression softens.

"I know it's a lot to ask. But, could you meet me at the underground? I don't think I can say this over the phone." Taeil says.

"Um." Taehyung checks the time. 3:43am. "Yeah. I'll be there in fifteen."

"Thank you, Tae. It means the world to me, really." Taeil says.

"I'm coming. Just hold tight." Taehyung says standing and ending the call.

Taehyung grabs his shoes not bothering to change out of his sweatpants.

Taehyung creeps out of the house making the least amount of noise possible as he does so.

The walk to the underground seems to be a lot further away when he was in a hurry like this.

Something about Taeil's voice just made him feel so uneasy and he wanted to make sure he was okay.

When he reaches the familiar place Taeil waits outside looking a bit on edge.

"Hey Taeil-hyung." Taehyung says getting his attention.

"H-Hey Taehyung." He says smiling.

"Are you alright?" Taehyung asks taking in Taeil's appearance.

"Yeah. I just have a lot on my mind." Taeil says.

"Alright. Well I'm here to help so what can I do?" Taehyung asks.

"Can we talk inside?" Taeil asks.

Taehyung nods and Taeil leads him inside and to a corner of the room they don't usually sit at.

"I'll get you a drink." Taeil says. "It's the least I could do after calling you out here this late."

"You don't have to." Taehyung says.

"I insist. Just wait here." Taeil says.

Taehyung sighs looking down at his phone.

It was the last two weeks of summer and it's been keeping Taehyung awake at night. Usually Taehyung would easily be able to fall asleep after hours of talking to Jungkook on the phone but lately that hasn't even been working.

Jungkook left for Busan yesterday to move his things into his dorm so everything will be in place for when he leaves at the start of the fall semester.
