Namjoon's words were relentless in my mind as we lied in bed that night. The soft rise and fall of his chest as he slept was soothing, but somehow I couldn't turn my emotions off.

I brought my hand up to where his head lied on my chest and carded my fingers through his thick, lightly colored locks. I twirled the ends between my fingers delicately, watching as they fell back against his head effortlessly.

"I wonder if..." I mouthed near inaudibly to myself, "..what Namjoon said could become real...?" I pursed my lips tightly before leaning my head back and staring up at the ceiling fan. I watched the blades spin slowly and closed my eyes, listening to the white noise.

I lied for a while, still unable to sleep, and decided it would be best to do something to take my mind off of what's bothering me. As I slowly brought myself out from beneath Namjoon, I was heedful to cover him with many blankets and leave a pillow in place of me so he wouldn't stir.

As my feet touched the floor, I shivered to the cold hard wood and made way to our closet, where I slipped on one of Namjoon's sweaters and a pair of sweatpants before exiting the bedroom. I sauntered through the hallway and into the living room, where I sat on the couch and threw my head back in a sigh. After taking a moment to settle in to the plush suede, I peered down the hallway and toward Jimin and Jungkook's door.

I had never wished for it to be open so late. I wanted comfort, and advice, but I couldn't get that from Namjoon. After all, it had been his words that had me questioning things so late.

With a few minutes of debating under my belt, I went ahead and decided I would poke my head into the boys' room to see if one was awake. It was past two in the morning, so they shouldn't be, but maybe I would luck out for once.

Pushing my shoulder into the door gently, I eased the door open, peering through the darkness at the two boys who lied curled up on either side of the large bed. I couldn't help but grin as I made out their silhouettes in the moonlight.

Knowing the two were asleep, I didn't have intentions on waking either up to get help, but I did want the comfort of being around them. I snuck further into their bedroom before crawling onto their bed into the empty space in the middle. I lied down between my two friends and brought them closer into my sides.

Petite hands clutched onto my side, followed by a cheek squishing against my chest. I felt the frizz of Jimin's blond hair tickling beneath my nose, so I knew he was to my right. I wrapped an arm securely around Jimin and once he was tucked comfortably into my side, I raised my other arm and brought Jungkook closer. Neither of the boys regarded me, or nonetheless woke up, so I eased into the comfort knowing they were there and tried to let my mind rest.

"Tae? Psst Hyung, are you okay?" "Kook be gentle! He's probably sleeping! We can ask him later okay?"

I heard two different whispers arguing and I cracked open an eye partially, looking at the two boys who stood at the edge of the bed bickering. I shifted onto my side groggily, wishing it wasn't morning already. I lowkey had regrets about slipping into their room to sleep, since I knew I would have to explain myself.

With a sigh, I pushed myself upright and crossed my legs beneath myself. The collective clamor of the boys fell into a hush as I peered over them. Jimin smiled and engulfed me in a hug while Jungkook watched, arms crossed.

"Tae are you okay? Why are you in here?" Jimin's melodic and honey voice was soothing to my ears, and I couldn't help but clutch him tightly in return before smiling tiredly.

"I'm okay. I just needed comfort last night and Joonie couldn't provide it. I wanted to talk to one of you but I found you asleep so I figured maybe if I was with you two, that it would help." Jimin pulled away from the hug, eyeing me as I spoke. I looked over to Jungkook whose brows were furrowed. He disappeared from the room in a matter of seconds, which left Jimin and I in private.
