WHAT IS LOVE.

愛 40 愛

the sound of keys being fiddled around with was heard.

"damn you jin... giving me six different keys for six different doors, what an asshole..." taehyung muttered out of frustration.

he inserted a short, small key into the keyhole and heard the door finally unlock. a shaky sigh of exhaustion figured its way out of his mouth.

he took a quiet and gentle step into the home of his friend. his hand slithered its way up the cold wall to give the room some source of light.

once light shone from the ceiling, he got a glimpse of hoseok's home. he breathed in the scent of the apartment room, not being able to hold back a nostalgic and genuine smile.

"smells nice, like it always did. the smell of lavender, and, now there's also a hint of jasmine."

he looked and walked around cautiously, not wanting to ruin the interior of another person's house, well, apartment, dorm, whatever it was called to others.

he saw full-grown and well-watered plants lined up upon a window sill. most were lavenders, so that explained the reason to why the place smelled of it.

after taehyung had an eye of the place's new appearance, he started searching at once. what he exactly was searching for? he wasn't quite sure himself either.

he opened up the cupboards in the kitchen and his eyes scanned almost everywhere. there was an unbelievable amount of packaged tea bags, most of them consisting of velarían and chamomile tea. there was a cup of once-boiled water and a half ripped package of a teabag.

"maybe he was preparing himself some tea, before he suddenly passed out..." taehyung gulped.

"yeah, that's gotta be it..."

"there should be something here..." he said to himself while lifting up different items belonging to his friend.

the young boy knew that what he was doing inside hoseok's place was incredibly and deeply wrong to do, but he was unwell, and he needed to find out if he had been taking any other types of medication.

taehyung gave up looking in the kitchen and walked around. his eyes focused on a certain door that was custom-painted an olive-green colour. he opened the door slowly, and inside, revealed a dark room, which was smelling like even more lavender than before.

taehyung turned on the light and his eyes saw a neat and tidy room, perhaps the room in which hoseok slept in.

he stepped inside and his head tilted in different ways, analysing what was inside.

there had been a bed centred right in the middle, and, taehyung lightly dropped his body onto the sheets. it was already past midnight, and, he had a long and tiring day.

however, he still continued to look around until three small containers, each with different coloured lids and labels, were seen beside the top corner of the bed on a bedside table, next to a lamp and a few books.

taehyung quickly moved to that particular side of the bed and first looked at the books that were placed next to the green lamp with bookmarks inside them at different pages.
