I woke to the sound of the Tv. I lifted my weary head off the pillow.
A slowly made my way into the living room to see the tv on. It was dark in the room.
I seen the outline of a head on the sofa.
"Tae?" I whispered.
The head spun around . "Shhh." He hushed as he beckoned me to come over.
I hobbled over and sat beside him.
"My parents are asleep." He whispered. I furrowed my brow and looked at the tv.
"The tv's really loud." I whispered nodding my head.

'Oh yeah' he mouthed to himself as he reached for the romote and turned the tv down a bit.

"Ok lets go." He whispered as he slapped his knees slightly and started gettung up.
I reached out a hand to his arm to stop him for a second.

"Where are we going?" I asked slightly louder then a whisper. He hushed me.
"The tree?" He said it like it was a given fact.
I rolled my eyes .

"Theres no way I'm going all the way to that tree when I'm crippled like this."

For a second he scratched his head in confusion before remebering my situation.

"Oh yeah."
He plonked himself back down on the sofa and sighed in boredom. I felt bad. For holding him back from going out and having fun.

"We can watch Tv?" I smiled, trying to lighten the mood.
He sighed again. "Nah, I've been watching it for hours I've had enough."

"Ok well, we can go to sleep then!" I ran out of options. Thats all I was good for now. Tv and sleep.
He shot me an annoyed look.
"Ok fine! Lets go to the tree." I sighed angrily as I winced pulling myself up from the sofa.

"No," he grabbed my wrist gently pulling me back down to the sofa.

"No, lets just sleep." He sighed.
I smiled to myself in victory. I sat back down on the sofa and slowly climbed to lie on him. I felt my heart racing and prayed he couldn't feel it. I lay my head and hand on his chest .

"What are you doing?" He chuckled.
I felt the embarrasement building up. I wanted to cry. I'd out stepped the boundarys.

"I-I'm sorry." I choked in embarrasement as I sat up.

"No," I felt his hand on my wrist again as I gasped.
"No, don't stop."
My heart spun. He led me back down to lie on him and I felt his arms wrap around me. I could feel his soft breath on my forehead as it slowed to a sleep. I felt so safe in that moment. I never wanted it to end . But it did.

🌘Daegu- 8:00am (next day)🌘 
—
I woke to the sound of eggs sissling on a pan. The tasty smell filled ny nostrils.
My eyes slowly flicked open. They were the most rested they had been in years.
I sat up slowly rubbing my eyes.

"Ah, good morning." I heard. An unfamiliar voice. My eyes shot open and scanned to the origin of the voice. A skinny pretty woman smiled at me from the saucepan. She looked so pure and friendly.
  "I hope you like eggs?" He half asked.

  I nodded in embarrasement. I wasn't sure but I presumed this was Taehyungs mother. Taehyung. I hadn't realised I had still been lying on him when I woke up his mother had seen us for possible hours before I woke up. I turned red.

"I unfortunately don't know your name." She smiled a little unsure.

"Y-yeah, yeah of course, uh I'm Chunja, I'm staying In the house next door."

"Ahhh, Chunja!" She turned suddenly interested.
"I've heard a little about you."
You have?
"Well," she chuckled. "I've heard the bare minimum like when Taehyungie would dissapear for hours when he was visiting a Chunja in the hospital."
I gulped. Was she mad?

"I didnt think you were real!" She laughed. I chuckled to join in. "Ohhh, well , its nice to meet you." She nodded as she turned back to the pan.
"Y-you too."

"Omma what are you doing up so early?" I heard a deep sleepy voice behind me as Tae sat up.

"I decided to get up to make some breakfast, I'm going to town!" She chirped. Tae sighed and lay back down.

"You two werd very cosy," she smiled cheekily and winked. I burned red. This is the worst case scenario anyone could be in.

"Mhmm." Tae groaned in reply. Why isn't he telling her to stop!?

"ㅋㅋㅋ" (laugh) she skipped gently iver to the plate cuboard and got out two plates, filling them with eggs and toast. She brought them over and lay them on the coffe table infront of us.

"So ehm." She scratched her nose as she sat infront of us while we ate.
"You know Tae Tae is a trainee?" She asked proudly. Tae tutted his lips as if to tell her to stop being annoying .

She smiled to herself.
"He's going to be a big thing. I know it." She smiled as she got up and walked into her room.
"I'm going to town. You two should come."
