#4 - a new name for you

Y/N couldn't sleep at all. Her eyes refused to shut as she continued to check on the man on her bean bag.

She couldn't tell whether he was sleeping or pretending to sleep since he continued to toss and turn.

She made sure to lock her door to avoid the confusion of a man being in her bedroom. She also didn't want Jimin to tease her.

She tossed and turned. She checked her phone a couple of times to see what time it was...also hoping that Jungkook would text her to take her mind off things.

After the tenth time she checked her phone, she heard the man grunt. She turned her head and saw him standing beside her bed.

"Do you need anything? Bathroom?"

"No, can you sleep?" Tae Tae said irritably. "Your phone keeps turning on and off and it annoys me."

Y/N's raised an eyebrow. "You know what a phone is, but you don't know how old you are?"

She saw Tae Tae roll his eyes. "You're rude. That's not the point. I can't sleep with you doing the same thing over and over again."

Y/N squinted her eyes at him. "You have no right to complain, boy, you're staying in my room out of my sincere generosity. If I was heartless, I would have called the police and happily watch them arrest you."

Tae Tae pouted at Y/N. "You know very well that I don't even know how I got here, now stop blaming me for being here."

"Good point," Y/N said with a sigh. "But you can't just tell me to sleep, I can't right now."

"Why not?"

Y/N hesitated to tell him, knowing that it might hurt his feelings. "Well, it's jut that you're in the same room as me and we're supposed to be sleeping?"

"You're not even sleeping, what's the point? Besides, what's wrong with me being here?"

"I don't get you, I thought you barely know anything about yourself, but you know what a phone is?", Y/N said, clearly confused.

Tae Tae sighed, it was also hard for him to explain. "I don't understand why too. I only know things that I've seen from you, if I'm referring to what I know about this world."

Y/N sat up from her bed and processed what Tae Tae just said. "Is it okay if I give you a proper name?"

Tae Tae looked at her confusedly. "Isn't Tae Tae a name?"

"It is," Y/N said, trying not to laugh. "But I can't just keep calling you Tae Tae, can I?"

"You can. I never said you couldn't."

"How do I explain this?", Y/N asked herself. "Basically, what I'm trying to tell you is that you need to be a regular human being in this world. I have to give you a different name."

Tae Tae thought about it for a while. She was right. For the meantime, he should be blending in with the rest of the world.

"Fine, give me a name."

Y/N stared at him while she thought of a name for him. "Since Tae Tae is your name...I think Taehyung would be a great name."

"So Taehyung is my name now?", he asked, wondering if it was a good name or not.

"That's the closest name to your nickname. Now, all we need is a surname. This should be easy, I'll just give you one that's pretty common among Koreans, Kim."

Kim Taehyung...That sounds like a good name. This woman's good at this. I wonder what her role is in the society. She must be a person who names the people who come to this world, Taehyung thought as he looked at her smiling.

Y/N  was proud of herself for coming up with a name for him. He would easily blend with the rest of Korea. "Are you happy now?"

"No," Taehyung replied, his serious expression back on his face. "I want to sleep, can I?"

Y/N's face fell. "That's the thing, I can't really sleep with you being here. I already told you that."

Taehyung sighed. He thought of something to make her sleep, but he wasn't sure if she would allow it.

Y/N stared into space while Taehyung was getting into her bed. Y/N was surprised when she felt an arm around her waist.

She looked at Taehyung, who was already lying down on her bed. "Hey!"

Taehyung's eyes widened as he saw her grab the pillow and try to hit him. Luckily, he dodged it, making her hit the mattress.

Y/N's eyes squinted at Taehyung, who was now scared of her. "C-Can you please not do that? I don't want to die just yet."

"You're lucky I'm not on my period right now. I swear, I would throw you out of my house and put you in a garbage truck."

Taehyung wasn't sure if she was kidding or serious so he decided to have a blank expression on his face.

"What is period?"

"Based on your words, you've been with me since I was a child," Y/N said, folding her arms. "I had my period for a long time, how can you not now what it is?"

"Is period the proper term?"

Y/N rolled her eyes. She was getting pissed with his lack of knowledge.

"Well," Y/N said as she tried to remain calm and composed. "It can also be called menstruation."

Taehyung looked disgusted by what she just said. "Isn't it that red thing coming out of your hole?"

Y/N's eyes widened. "How do you know that?"

"Of course, I hear your conversations with family and friends."

Y/N suddenly covered the top of her body. "Don't tell me...Have you seen my private parts?"

Taehyung became confused. He didn't know what she was talking about.

Private parts? What are those? Is that another way to call her phone? I mean, phones are a private part of your life, right? I remember her keeping secrets inside her phone so that must be it, right?, Taehyung asked himself.

"Are you talking about your phone?", he asked her, trying to make sense of her words.

Y/N froze. Oh my gosh...this man doesn't know what a private part is. This is good. I can lie to him easily.

"Y-Yeah. I have a lot of secrets in my phone so that is called a private part."

Taehyung smiled. He was sure that he already knew this world well enough to survive and live in it.

Y/N laid down again, making Taehyung follow her action. Y/N looked at him while he just stared at her.

"Are you sleeping here?", Y/N asked.

"Yes," Taehyung replied, closing his eyes and putting his arm around Y/N. "Someone usually cuddles you whenever you can't fall asleep."

Y/N's face started turning red because of embarrassment. He really needed to remind me that, didn't he?

She faced the other way to avoid her face from exploding with embarrassment. She didn't want to see her like this.

After a while, she heard him snore softly, a sign that he was already asleep. Y/N was still awake making sure he wouldn't do anything to her.

That wasn't the only thought occupying her mind, she was also thinking how she could spill the beans to her brother.

She knew she couldn't tell Jungkook, she wanted him to see that she was available, in other words, she wanted to look single in front of him.

But how could she tell her brother? She knew that her brother would ask many questions about Taehyung.

She didn't know how to make her brother less tense around Taehyung since she knew that he was overprotective. They didn't live with their parents anymore, but Jimin acted like both.

She felt Taehyung's arm tighten around her waist. Assuming he was probably waking up, she shut her eyes immediately and fell asleep.
