His Voice

Baby Steps

.:Taehyung's POV:.

I already took some sleeping gummies before I gave Jiminnie some, so I should be able to sleep. I did want to put on some music to help though. So, I ended up going to Spotify and playing a playlist I made for sleep and relaxation. Yeah, there are a few BTS songs on there... We have some good songs, okay? As I was drifting, I heard "Hold Me Tight" start. I actually slept and dreamed out some of the lyrics. I dreamed about my fight with Jeongguk and it ended completely different. Then, when the chorus came, we were both sobbing the lyrics to it in seprate rooms. What is this nonsense? I found this out because I started hearing someone yell my name.

"Taehyung! Tae! Wake up!" I heard Jimin's voice.

"What's going on? Am I asleep? So this is a dream then," I thought to myself. I was thrashing trying to wake up and I shot up yelling Jeongguk's name. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my forehead. I slammed back down on my pillow and I wasn't the only one. Apparently Jeongguk had been there, looking over me trying to help Jimin wake me. I sat up slower this time and saw Jeongguk holding a hand to his head too. Oops. "What happened?" I asked. Jimin and Yoongi looked at each other and back at me.

"You were sobbing and I guess singing in your sleep?" I looked down to see my phone on the floor and my headphones still plugged in. I guess it fell when I fell asleep and some songs got stuck in my head. Yoongi continued where Jimin left off.

"Yeah, and you woke Jeongguk and I up from your obnoxious screams for him," he pointed to Guk. The younger's face was red, he was clearly embarrassed. "Jeongguk was really worried about you, he almost broke down our conjoined door." I looked at the boy with surprise. He was still looking down. I ruffled his hair.

"Well thank you Gukkie," I smiled. I picked up my phone, saw it was 8 in the morning and decided to go shower. I told them where I was going and proceeded to get ready to go to eat and go to rehearsal.

I stood there in the shower letting the water hit me as I thought. I had already bathed, I just wanted to stand there under the hot water. "So he was worried about me, huh?" I said to myself quietly. I wasn't upset or even surprised anymore, I was just wondering how the hell we were going to get through this. Everything is still awkward... He can't even look at me in the face, let alone sing with me on stage. He's a great actor, but ARMYs are like detectives. They can see through every little thing we do, and sometimes it's so spot on that I think a staff member is tipping someone off. I sigh and decide that it's time to get dressed. I've been in the shower long enough, so I turned off the water and started getting ready.

.: Jeongguk's POV:.

Taehyung was literally yelling for me... It was as if his life depended on it and I was waiting for that call. I had wanted his sweet lips to say my name and ask for my help. That's why I wasted no time in trying to get to him. Yoongi heard my first lunge at the door, which is the what woke him up. At my second attempt, Yoongi raced towards me to stop me, but before he could, I lunged again. At the same time though, Jimin opened the door and I ended up on the floor. I immediately got right back up, looking at a shocked Jimin and jumped on the bed Tae was on, shaking him. I was almost about to cry. He looked so helpless laying there yell-singing the lyrics to "Hold Me Tight".

"Hold me tight, hug me. Can you trust me? Can you trust me? Can you trust me?"

I wanted to listen to his cries, but I felt that maybe he didn't want it. I was too scared as to the reaction I'd get from him. I looked over at the couple as he quieted down. Just as he began to yell again, I cupped his cheek and yelled at Jimin, "DON'T JUST STAND THERE WITH YOONGI HYUNG, COME HELP ME WAKE HIM UP!" I was desperate at this point. I just wanted him to be okay. "Does he normally have night terrors Jimin?"
