Jungkook’s POV

I wake up to Tae's alarm going wild at 5: 30 am, along with him squirming his face uncomfortably on my chest. I reach my hands and turn off the alarm. He instantly stops squirming and hugs me tighter. 

Yesterday it was almost 10 pm when we arrived back at the dorm. We had dinner at a nice restaurant, our first dinner after we started officially dating. When we walked out of the restaurant, Tae wanted to walk for some time. And we walked through the streets, hand in hand for almost an hour, looking at the bright-lit shops and buildings on either side. Tae told me he was walking through the streets at night after a long time. He was so happy yesterday. 

After that, we headed back to dorm. We had to climb the wall since the gate had closed long ago. I climbed down first and picked my baby from the wall. Luckily everyone was inside their dorms and I somehow managed to sneak in with Tae into our dorm 69. 

Eunwoo was at Yugyeom's house. He just went yesterday evening. He had basketball practice this weekend and so he didn't go home. His match is on this Thursday. Gayoung too was not at the dorm. She had gone home and she texted me she would only arrive today morning. 

So I and Tae peacefully cuddled together last night. 

I slowly separate myself from him, removing his arms and legs from above me. He groans and hugs a pillow making me smile. I lean down and kiss his forehead, moving his messy bangs with my palm. 

“Jungkook, I want to come with you. But I want to...sleep,” he groans, opening his eyes a little. 

“Yeah, my baby tiger sleep,” I say and kiss his eyes shut. 

“Uhm..I will see you at the canteen,” he says and buries himself into the blanket. I hum to him whilst covering him properly. Then I crawl out of the bed and quickly walk out of the room, closing the door behind. I need to go to my room and change into my jersey before going for practice. 

After the practice, I enthusiastically walk towards the canteen. Tae just texted me, he and Gayoung are at the canteen waiting for us. Yugyeom had dropped Eunwoo here at 6 for practice. We spoke a little after our jogging but I didn't tell him, Tae came out to his parents and we are now officially dating. I was planning to tell him and Gayoung together during lunch, as I thought Gayoung won't be coming early and joining us for breakfast. 

When I step into the canteen, Gayoung and Tae are already at our usual table, sitting opposite each other. Gayoung has her arms crossed over her chest and she is talking to Tae, her expression serious, no almost mad. I think she is scolding my baby for worrying us. I can't see his face as he is facing his back to me. Anyway, I quickly walk towards them. 

Like I guessed, she is scolding him but my cupcake has a wide smile on his lips. 

“Look Jungkook, he is sitting and smiling after worrying us all!” Gayoung accuses Tae as I take a seat beside him. I just smile at her in response. 

“Oh! You are also smiling now? But you were bawling like a freaking four year old, last day,” she says. I scratch my neck in embarrassment. 

Gayoung suddenly averts her eyes to the canteen's entrance and her lips threaten to curl upward. I turn to see a sweaty Eunwoo walking in through the doors, brushing his damp locks backward. His lips bunch into a smile on seeing us. 

“Hey!” he says and takes his seat beside Gayoung. “You came so early!” he smiles wide at her. 

“Yeah, I came early to meet someone who went home last Thursday without telling a single word to any of us,” she says causing Tae to shake his head and laugh slightly.
