part 19

8:36am

Taehyung slowly shifted his body closer to yours, loving the warmth you've willingly given to him. He felt you bury your face into the crook of his shoulder and neck while sighing. He knew you were exhausted from the rough night you've had. Slowly opening one eye open, he glanced down to your sleeping figure that laid comfortably in his arms. Taehyung was laying on his back while you were comfortable draped over him; your arm over his chest and your leg securely around his leg. Meanwhile, one of his arms were around your waist while the other was off to the side under your head. Images of your crying figure filled his mind as the memories from the previous night shot him in the chest. Truth be told, he was indeed sleeping when you had texted him. It was only until when he received your text that he shot himself awake just to talk to you. He wondered that if he didn't wake up and reply to you, you would've been suffering all alone. That was the last thing that Taehyung wanted. Although he was extremely curious to know what you had dreamt about he figured that he shouldn't force you to talk about it. Seeing how broken and terrified you were, he didn't want to hurt you even more. He made sure to stay by your side until you fell asleep but seeing the state that you were in, he didn't want to leave. As a result, Taehyung held you as you slept and fell asleep. He felt you shift slightly and softly moan. He noticed that your voice was low and raspy and it made him smile. You slowly turned your head and Taehyung turned his head to look down at you, both of your eyes meeting each other. "Morning Princess," he smiled and his stomach flipped when you smiled back up at him. "Good morning..." you mumbled before burying your face in his neck again. Taehyung took the opportunity to reach his head up to run his fingers through your hair. He untangled some knots and moved some strands away from your face. You hummed in satisfaction before pressing your lips against his jawline. Taehyung chuckled as his other hand rubbed up and down your arm that was over his chest. "Someone seems more... touchy, than usual." He joked and you chuckled tiredly along with him. "Do you not want me to touch you?" You replied while closing your eyes again, your eyes hurting due to the light shining through the windows. "You could smack me and I'd still say thank you." Taehyung laughed when you reluctantly smacked his chest with your hand. "Ow..." he whined jokingly. He grasped your hand and brought it up to mouth. He kissed your wrist and palm, feeling you giggle into his shoulder. You twisted your hand out from his grasp and wrap your arm around his neck to pull yourself closer against him. "We have to get up Princess," Taehyung whispered into your hair. "Everyone is probably awake too." He felt you shake your head while mumbling a soft "No." There was a moment of silence before Taehyung heard you say, "Thank you for staying with me." Taehyung smiled while stroking your head. Hearing you express your gratitude even when you were exhausted made Taehyung's heart pound. He found you extremely cute. He suddenly pulled you into his chest so that he was now on top of you, squishing your figure under him. "Awh, you're so cute!" He couldn't help but squeal and rock you from side to side in his arms. He pressed kisses all over your face and giggled when he saw a big smile growing on your face. "Look at who's the touchy one now." You chuckled and Taehyung laughed with you. He stared down at your beautiful figure, soon capturing your lips with his in a passionate kiss. He popped himself up with his elbows as one hand tangled into your hair and the other held your neck so that he could kiss you deeper. He felt your arms lazily wrap around his torso and your fingers barely grazing up and down his back. He smiled into your lips and slightly pulled away to tilt his head and kiss you in a different position, his lips perfectly molding into yours. "Mm..." Taehyung moaned into your lips before pulling away, chuckling. His breath hit against your face as he stared down at you. "Damn it," he cursed under his breath. "If you keep staring at me like that I don't know if I'll be able to hold myself back." His eyes softened when you gave him a bright grin. It caught him off guard but he smiled back down to you while softly kissing your nose. Taehyung suddenly turned his head toward the door when he heard a knock. "It's Luna," the soft feminine spoke through the closed door. "Are you two awake? Breakfast is ready." Taehyung was about to answer but he abruptly stopped when he felt you stiffen under him. He looked down at you, concerned as to why you suddenly felt so uncomfortable. He figured that you would answer her but you didn't. You only continued to look to the side as your body trembled again. "Hey, what's wrong?" Taehyung asked and held your shoulders with his large hands. He brought you both up into a sitting position and held you close to his body. He felt your body shake and you bury your head into his head, your breathing becoming uneven. You held your head in your hands and soft sobs could be heard from you. Taehyung held you tightly to his chest and kissed your head. "Shh..." he tried to shush you. "You're okay. I'm here with you." He tried rubbing your back to soothe you but you only cried harder when Luna spoke up again. "Is everything okay in there?" She asked but Taehyung frowned when you began to cry again. "Y/n, I need you to calm down." He whispered into your ear and covered your ears with his hands, hoping that it would help just a little. "What's wrong? Talk to me." He watched you looked up to speak but your eyes suddenly went wide and you froze in your spot. Taehyung stared at you in confusion but flinched when you began to scream while covering your ears and shutting your eyes closed. "Y/n!" Taehyung called for you and quickly reached out to hold you again. He didn't have a single clue what was going on or what was happening; he was in shock but worried and concerned at the same time. His heart started to race as the anxiety grew within his stomach. You shrunk yourself into a ball and began to scream again, crying your heart out and screaming until your voice soared. "Luna!" Taehyung yelled toward the door but he already saw the door wide open with Luna standing there. Her eyes were wide and her eyebrows were furrowed together. Taehyung could tell that she didn't know what was going on— she must've felt the same emotions as he did. "What's going on?" Luna asked but her only answer was your cries and pleas. You yelled, "Stop! Leave me alone! Don't touch me!" Taehyung only held you tighter and to his surprise, you didn't push him away but pushed yourself closer into his chest. He was even more confused and dumbfounded than before. He brought your face out from his chest and held your face in his hands. He wiped away your tears and pulled you close to him. "Y/n, look at me." You did as he said. "I'm here with you. You're okay. Nothing is going to hurt you. I'm here to protect you, remember?" Taehyung softly said but he frowned when you shook your head. "N-no..." you sniffled as you began to tremble all over again. "What do you mean?" He asked softly and stroked your hair. You shook your head and pointed your finger to the other person that was still present in the room. "She's going to hurt me, she's going to kill me!" You cried and covered your ears again, looking down and holding your breath so that you wouldn't scream again. "What?" Taehyung whispered. He turned his head to look at Luna, one of his closest friends, whom stared at you in shock. "You're going to do what?" Taehyung felt anger and fury within his veins as to what you had just revealed. He didn't know what to do; he was confused, dumbfounded, and betrayed? Luna shook her head. "Tae I don't know what she's taking about." She tried to object but Taehyung couldn't think straight when he just heard you say that Luna was going to kill you. "What's going on?!" Hoseok entered through the door way and his eyes fell on your curled figure in Taehyung's chest and Taehyung's angry eyes on Luna's fearful form. "Taehyung I swear to you that I have no idea what she's talking about." Luna said, almost as if she was pleading for him to believe her. But to Taehyung, he couldn't give a single care as to what anyone else said. He almost lost you once and he refuses to lose you for good.
