Save Her | Kim Taehyung

Chapter 6: The Unraveling

Sunlight was streaming through the window, brightly lighting up the floor. A relaxing silence aired the room as you moved slightly with a light feeling in your chest. It felt good and you surprisingly felt a little happy. You snuggled up to the sheets and it wasn't long after that you felt a big arm being adjusted around you. As you remembered, your chest tightens feeling even more light and warm. *He's still here* a slight smile crept onto your face as you turned to face him. Staring up at his sleeping features you admired them: The smooth skin, the one freckle on his nose, his almond shaped eyes and his lips that were slightly curved into a smile, which made you think, *What could he be dreaming about? It looks like it's probably a nice dream. I wouldn't want to wake him up from it, I mean, I had him stay up late dealing with me, so the least I could do is let him sleep a little more.*

You looked up at him once more and without realizing it you began to stare. His eyes slowly began to flutter open. You panicked a bit but quickly pretended to be asleep. You knew he was wide awake, you could feel it, but nothing was happening. So, what the hell, you risked it and slowly opened your eyes only to catch him staring right back at you. His eyes widened before looking away.

Taehyung: "Ehem... Good morning."

He seemed a bit embarrassed at first with rosy cheeks, but that only increases as he catches you smiling shyly.

Y/n: "Good morning,"

Taehyung: "Did you sleep well?"

He averts his eyes back to you with a bit of courage, but now you're the one looking away. He stares as he awaits a response.

Y/n: "uh... yeah. I guess, after that nightmare when... when you came"

He smiled sadly at you, but you quickly continued before he could say something about last night.

Y/n: "Ehm. Are you hungry?"

He looked at you, chuckled at your change of topic and smiled.

Taehyung: "Very."

His face lit up to the mention of food.

Y/n: "Well, there's nothing here that we could eat so if you want we can go get breakfast at a drive through nearby."

Taehyung: "Do have a car?"

Y/n: "Yeah."

Taehyung: "Huh."

Seemed impressed for some reason.

Y/n: "Why?"

Taehyung: "I just didn't imagine you as the driving type, it's cool."

You rolled your eyes as you got out of bed (without noticing that he was staring.)

After getting ready, you two went downstairs to the car and you began to drive as he was sat beside you on the passenger side.

Y/n: "Uh... Here, you can use my phone to put on some music if you want. It's already synced."

Taehyung: "Okay. What genre do you want?"

Y/n: "Mmm... I'm feeling up for anything. You choose."

You shot him a quick smile then looked back at the road.

Taehyung: "Alright then."

Carefully, Taehyung takes the phone from your hands as his fingers "accidentally" brush against yours, that made goosebumps wave up your arm, making you blush and awkwardly retract your hand back to the wheel. After that he begins to scroll through your list of songs. My, my, that was a careless move from your part.
