"Here. It'll help the pain go away." Taehyung says as he sat with a bowl of porridge in front of you.

Leaning against the headboard of his bed with a duvet around your body, you simply nodded for his generosity.

"Is it paining a lot?" he questions whilst crossing his legs and making himself comfortable.

With eyes on your hands over your lap, you nodded again.

"It's going to be fine. Okay?" Craning his neck down a little to have a better view of your face, he raised his eyebrows.

"Hm. I-I just don't get ho-"

"You trust me, right?" Taehyung felt a big lump in his throat as he asked the following question.

For sure he doesn't have the right to ask you that after what happened two hours ago, but just the mere thought of you looking at him with a disgusted expression disturbed him.

Upon seeing that you were blankly staring at his face, he gulped hard. "Hana, I asked do you trust me?"

With another little nod, you answered. "Yes, I do."

"I'm glad." he mumbled under his breath.

After a moment of silence, you spoke up again. "So you were saying that after taking a few rounds, I fell asleep?"

Taehyung doesn't look up in your eyes but continues blowing the hot soup. "Yeah, you were wasted."

"I slept after drinking?" you asked again with raised eyebrows.

"Uhm." he looks up at you, "Yeah, why?"

Looking away at the windows and the setting Sun in the horizon with frowned brows, you mumbled. "That's so unlikely of me."

The latter stops stirring the spoon around the bowl and acts as if your words didn't reach him. "What do you want to do n-"

"I mean, I've been drunk a few times but I always stay awake. I've trained my brain in such a way so if ever I'm in trouble, I know I have to defend myself." Folding your arms over your chest and observing the situation, you turned your head towards the man sitting in front of you.

With your sudden piercing gaze, the latter was taken aback but maintained his composure.

"I've been drunk before with you too, but I still was knowing my surroudings, right Taehyung?" you asked.

Sitting up straight and keeping his posture, he held his chin up. "Yeah, but maybe it was because you haven't really had wine before. It being so new to your body might have resulted in you to be in deep slumber. Am I right?"

On processing his words through your brain and slowly believing the man's explaination, you looked up and nodded.

As Taehyung saw your response and silence, a sudden feeling of relief washed over him but a big part of him felt guilty as well. All he could think was he shouln't have done that, shouldn't have kissed you so hard till you didn't get any oxygen to breathe and fainted.

Extending his hand forward with a spoonful of porridge, he helps you eat as no one speaks to his greatest comfort.

However, Taehyung wonders that if you hadn't fainted earlier, could he have gone too far?

Could he have stopped himself from wanting more of you?

Next day

As the bright rays shine vertically over your head from the distance, drops of sweat rolls down your neck. The closure you walk over to the place, the more chaotic voices reaches your ears and you mentally curse.
