"There is no greater sorrow than to recall in misery the time when we were happy."
•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

The next two days you were busied by all of Namjoon's friends. Each one would try to cheer you up with either gentle words or distracting games.

It worked, to say the least, but real sleep alluded you still. Most nights ended with you calling yourself pathetic, arguing with yourself of how you shouldn't let those visions get to you, and then dozing on and off until morning, or not sleeping at all.

During that time, Jungkook had taken to sleeping in the velvet lounge chair at the corner of your room. His reason was to "protect you night and day."

Even Seokjin had stuck closer to you, whereas he was usually never seen for hours at a time.

The sun had just arisen, casting its bright, honey rays into your bed room. Golden light coated everything around you, and your eyes flickered over to the man in the corner.

Jungkook's body was nothing short of a golden statue at that moment. The rays outlined his torso and face perfectly in a way that made him look inanimate and completely god-like. His lips were pouted, his hair tousled, and his silky bunny ears laying delicately at the sides of his jaw.

You caught yourself staring and startled.

God, Y/N. How creepy is it to stare at someone while they are sleeping?

Shaking your head you stretched out your arms. Your fingers suddenly brushed across something and you flinched, pulling them back to your lap. At your dresser, beside your bed, was an unopened letter. A familiar red ribbon was tied around the scrolled paper.

Hesitatingly, you unwrapped it.

Dearest Y/N,

It's been only a few days but it has felt like months to me. Silly, right?

Nonetheless, I do want to apologize for not being able to comfort you, Seokjin told me of your condition. . . I really hope you are feeling better.

To help you recover, would you like to accompany me to the Phoenix Falls? I'm quite sure you'll love them. Of course, if you're not feeling up to it, that can be rain checked. Your health is the most important thing at the moment.

I can always come to Namjoon's home, but I just assumed you enjoyed the outing last time (or hoped so).

Tell Seokjin of your answer at your leisure. Jungkook is now your protecter when he is away.

Till fate allows us to be together,
