the next morning, the first thing Sahar thinks about is Jungkook's devoting, soft and bronze gaze.

she forces herself to get out of bed. the eye contact they shared last night, throughout the distant interactions had caused her to feel bizarre. her insides have been squirming.

Sahar stumbles into the kitchen of her and Taehyung's apartment. he catches her gaze as she gathers her balance, hair sticking up from sleeping, eyes half open and she waves.

"good morning." Sahar says, stepping into the kitchen where he stands. Taehyung is leaning against the marble counter- on his folded arms, vivid, sapphire hair combed neatly, watching eyes wakeful as he kindly greets her.

"bakery goods." Taehyung states like it's the most obvious answer in the world. his headache is now apparently gone. "croissants, cake, bread-"
