the forest is starting to darken, taehyung grows worried as jeongguk still hasn't came back. he was supposed to be gone for only a few moments, so why was he taking so long? taehyung doesn't want to move from his spot, what if he got lost?
but worry consumes him as the forest begins to darken, and suddenly every little noise is starting to scare him. "jeongguk?" he calls out softly, turning his head to look around.
nothing.
there's a distant snarl, and taehyung's skin crawls. the hairs on his arms and neck stand, heart beating erratically as it drums and echoes. he takes a few steps, turning in the same area for any sign of jeongguk.
suddenly, he sees him. he's looking away, breathing heavily and leaning against a tree. a wave of relief washes over him as he lets out a sigh, "i thought i'd lost you."
taehyung smiles, feeling silly about his worry. he steps closer to jeongguk, ready to go back home. taehyung comes to a halt.
on the ground is a body. their stomach is eaten out, organs spilling onto the floor. taehyung gasps, finally reaching jeongguk. he places a hand on the raven's shoulder—
jeongguk spins around and snarls, mouth bloodied and eyes inhumane. taehyung stumbles back, "no, no, jeong-"
it isn't jeongguk who lunges at him, it's not him. taehyung falls on his back, hands pushing him away as the jeongguk look alike snaps his teeth at him, trying to take a bite. taehyung screams, feeling utterly weak as he feels his arms start to give in. he thrashes, kicks his legs, but the latter is so much heavier and stronger, even turned.
"please jeongguk! it's me! it's taehyung!"
jeongguk growls, infuriated he can't reach taehyung's flesh. "taehyung," he taunts, grabbing his arms and holding them down.
"wake up taehyung," he laughs, jeongguk laughs.
and before taehyung is eaten alive, someone jolts him awake.
shaken, taehyung uses his arms to hit whatever has grabbed him. "hey, it's me, it was a dream," jeongguk's comforting voice says as he's held against his chest.
"y-you were, you were one of t-them," taehyung cries, sniffing jeongguk's chest as a form of comfort. the dream felt so real, he has to make sure this is really jeongguk.
jeongguk shushes him, hugging him and caressing his hair, "i'm right here tae. it was just a dream."
taehyung wraps his arms around him, fingers smoothly caressing the bare skin of his back, feeling the dips and curves of his muscles. he breathes out, resting his forehead on jeongguk's chest. "i was so scared," he murmurs, "please hold me."
jeongguk chuckles, wrapping his arms even tighter around him, "i don't plan on letting you go."
carefully, he lays them both down, letting taehyung adjust his body. the brunette pulls his arms towards him, making himself as small as possible. "you're warm," taehyung hums, feeling safer than ever in jeongguk's embrace.
"mm, go to sleep," jeongguk closes his eyes, patting taehyung's back.
eventually, they both drift off to sleep.
