Her Smile

Chapter 9: Nightmare.

Taehyung had been talking to Ayana's grandma, who's name he learnt as Yunhi, from the moment they had dinner. Sofie said she was going for a shower and Seokjin went to finish up his work. Granny Yunhi was really funny, a very good and interesting company. She told Taehyung and Ayana about her childhood and how she met her husband, sometimes slipping dirty jokes in between, causing Taehyung to cup Ayana's ears. He laughed and nodded along with her and Ayana would imitate him, which was really cute. It was getting so late, Taehyung didn't realize Ayana had already fallen asleep on his lap. He said his goodnights and returned to the beds. Taehyung tucked Ayana in her bed and retired to his own after a taking a detour to the bathroom.

Taehyung was falling into sleep when he heard the doorknob twisting. Startled, he looked up to see Ayana looking in with a terrified look on her pretty little face. Taehyung got up and patted his bed. Ayana went and laid down beside him gladly. Taehyung laid next to her and rubbed her back, trying to sooth her. "What happened, Ay? Nightmare?" Taehyung asks softly. She nodded and whispered, "I heard a women screaming, from father's room." Taehyung choked on air. Okay.... He decided to just let her consider it was a nightmare. He continued patting her back and rubbing her small hands, all the time humming his mother's lullaby. She was soon asleep. Taehyung decided to finally close his eyes and he slept.

Seokjin wakes up to the sunlight mercilessly stinging his eyes. He looks over at Sofie naked beside him. Last night was well, exhausting. Hopefully they weren't too loud. He didn't want Ayana to tell him about her nightmares which actually was her hearing the product of their activities. He decided to leave Sofie to rest and got off the bed. He wanted a shower badly.
With his towel around his neck, Seokjin opened his daughter's door, to find a empty bed. He frowned and his thoughts immediately drove towards Taehyung. He turned and opened Taehyung's door.
The sight made his heart skip a beat. Taehyung was lying there curled up with Ayana between his arms. Her head buried into his neck. They looked so deep in sleep. His heart was behaving oddly. It kept on beating fast and clenching painfully. He tried to look away, but the sight was too endearing. He had never seen Ayana being so comfortable around anyone other than his mother, she  was even slightly uncomfortable around him. When Taehyung had come into her life, she's been more happy and relaxed around him.
He just wanted Ayana's good health and happiness. He was glad Taehyung is providing both.
He scrambled out of the room before either of them caught him staring at them like a creep.

Taehyung woke up and saw Ayana still sleeping. He looked at his phone and saw it was a Sunday and already seven in the morning. He got up careful not to hurt Ayana. He hurried down to see granny Yunhi near the table removing dishes. She looks up at him and smiled. He returned it slightly apologetic. "Sorry, I have a habit of sleeping over board during Sundays." Taehyung said. She smiled and said, "it's okay. They already had breakfast and left for work." She says seeing Taehyung searching for the couple. Taehyung nods when he feels two small hands on his thigh. He picks Ayana up and puts her on his lap. She leans into his chest looking as if she found a more comfy bed to sleep on. Taehyung shook her up and fed her before she fell asleep again.
He was enjoying it here. The life here was not the worst. Only problem was that he couldn't get any evidence for Sofie's misbehavior. He didn't want to get too attached.
Then he realized why would they go to work on a Sunday?
