"Tae? Tae?! Wake up! It's fine, I'm here!" A voice mercifully broke his nightmare and Taehyung opened his eyes, face wet with tears and his heart racing wildly. 

He saw Jungkook staring down at him, worry written all over his face. 

"Do you want some water?"Jungkook asked, pouring him a glass and handing him to Taehyung, who swallowed it in three gulps. 

They sat there for a while, just breathing.

"Sorry jungkook..."

"What are you sorry for tae?"

"I disturb you every single night with my stupid nightmares....."

Jungkook's face softened and he knitted his eyebrows as Taehyung started crying. He gently pushed the boy on to the bed and pressed his head down onto his shoulder. 

"I don't mind a single bit tae, isn't this what best friends are for?"

Taehyung died internally as he said 'best friends'. It was what they always were and always will be. With these thoughts circling his mind,  he began to cry even harder while Jungkook rubbed soothing circles on his back. 

He didn't know how sleep came, but it did.......
