You wake up in the middle of the night around 2:13. Sighing, you sit upright in Taehyung's bed and look around the room surrounding you.

You then reach over and grab your phone, immediately checking if Sunmi or Seulgi were checking on you.

Surely enough, you see a few texts from Seulgi asking how the date went and if you were able to meet up with Taehyung.

Seulgi: How's the date going?

Seulgi: Why did I just get a rage text from one of Justin's burner phones?

Seulgi: Please tell me you're safe.

Seulgi: JK, he just told me you left with a guy on a motorcycle... going to go ahead and assume that you're safely somewhere with your bad date bodyguard unless you text me saying otherwise.

You smile softly when you see that she's typing right now.

Deciding to interrupt her typing, you start typing as well to reassure her of your safety.

Y/N: Yes, I'm with Taehyung. I'm sleeping over at his place. Meet you at the coffee shop in the morning to give a play-by-play?

Seulgi: Perfect. Glad to hear you're okay. See you in the morning

You take a deep breath before locking your phone once more. After a few seconds of staring at the walls in his room, you begin searching the bed and his bedside table for the remote control of his TV.

Shifting in the bed, you begin lifting the wrinkled up parts of the blanket in hopes of finding it hidden in one of the crevices.

Thud.

Success. It was to your left and has now landed on the floor.

You groan before leaning over to turn to the lamp on his bedside table.

Placing your fingertips onto the cord of the lamp, you turn the light on. Glancing around his room to make sure nothing is out of place, you then lean over the side of the bed, using one arm to keep yourself from falling off. Your other hand is now reaching for the remote on the floor.

Once you successfully grab it, you get up, breathing quickly from being upside down for a few seconds.

You then turn the TV on and slowly pull the blanket off of you. Getting onto your feet, you wrap your arms around your torso, feeling the cool air hitting you upon escaping the warm solitude of his bed.

As you walk across the floor towards his door, you pass by the record player, eyeing it.

Maybe you can play it very quietly to help you fall back asleep again after you use the bathroom.

Shrugging your shoulders, you then make your way towards the nearest bathroom and open the door slowly. You flinch as the door slightly creaks while you open it.

You then turn the light on and get a glimpse of yourself in the mirror as you shut the door.

You look good in Taehyung's clothes.

The bagginess of his t-shirt draping over your body takes away some of the natural innocence that you have in your appearance.

Rather than looking cute, you look sexy, mischievous.

You tilt your head to the side before giving yourself a quick smirk in the mirror.

Then the rush of you having to pee hits you.

Nope. No. Uh-uh. Can't be posing in the mirror like this when you have to pee this badly.

You rush towards the toilet and struggle to pull your underwear down before immediate relief fills your body.

Much better.

Letting out a sigh of relief, you then take a second before you finish up in the bathroom.

As you're washing your hands, you hear a knock on the door.

"Y/N?" you hear Taehyung's deep voice speaking quietly through the bathroom door. You glance at the door in the mirror before smiling softly.

"Yeah?" you speak back quietly.

"I need to slip into my room really quickly to grab something. I just wanted to make sure you were okay and that it's okay for me to go in there." He says. You finish washing your hands and reach for the towel hanging near the door to dry your hands.

As the soft material touches your hands, you let out a soft laugh.

"Well... I mean, it's your room. Why wouldn't it be okay for you to go in there?" you question.

"I don't know. I just didn't want to walk in if you had your clothes out or anything personal out that you didn't want me to see." He states. You then slowly reach for the doorknob and open the door.

You peek your head out of the door and look up to see Taehyung slightly jumping back as you open the door. He then smiles softly down at you.

"That's really sweet of you, Taehyung." You say before shaking your head. "But don't worry, I don't have anything personal out that you'd have to worry about."

"O-okay, good." He says before stepping aside so you can fully open the door and step out.

Once you're out, you make your way towards his bedroom door with him following behind you.

"Also, why would you feel weird about seeing my clothes if they're out?" you question. He shrugs from  behind you as you twist the doorknob.

"I heard some girls sleep naked and you didn't really bring a purse with you to put your underwear in or anything so I didn't want to walk in and have you think I was being creepy or something." He looks down at the floor as you two step into his room. You laugh softly before turning back to look at him.

"Oh, so you didn't want me thinking you were one of those guys who sniffs girls' underwear?" you tease. He immediately shakes his head.

"Yeah. Definitely don't want you thinking that lowly of me." He laughs.

"Well, I don't. I think very highly of you and know that you're a gentleman, Taehyung." You smile up at him. He smiles back before stepping fully into his room, walking past you.

"Good." He says before making his way towards his record player. He then rests his hands on the sides of it and lifts it. "Just need to grab this and I'll be out of your way." He then starts to make his way towards the door again.

You stop him by gently resting your hand on his arm.

Once your hand is on his arm, he looks down at it before looking into your eyes. You smile softly and nod your head in the direction of the record player.

"I actually was going to listen to that as well." You say.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't know." He says before he then fully turns his body to face you. "How about we listen together?" You nod your head as he says this.

"I'd like that." You state. He smiles his wide boxy smile before gesturing towards his bed. He then slightly shivers as he does so.

"Do you mind if I get underneath the covers with you? It's pretty cold tonight." You shake your head.

"I don't mind." He nods before making his way towards where he stores the records for the player. While he's doing this, you climb back onto his bed before getting underneath the covers, pulling one corner of the covers to cover your body. You leave the other corner untouched so Taehyung can easily slip into the covers with you.

He returns with an unlabeled record in one hand and the record player in his other.

Placing the record player onto the table, he looks over at you with a smile on his face.

"I made this song a while back with one of my friends." He states. "I want you to hear it." Your eyes light up as you hear this.

Sitting up in the bed, you grow eager to hear it.

"Really?" you question. He nods and you then take a second to ask something. "It's... it's a song that'll help us sleep, right? Not one that's going to keep us awake for hours?" you question. He lets out a soft laugh and nods his head.

"Yes, it's actually a lullaby." He states before starting to get underneath the covers with you.

You immediately feel butterflies in your stomach as his body lays next to yours. You rest your head on the pillow and fully turn your body to face him. He does the same, eyes examining your face as the melody begins playing.

"I didn't know you could sing." You remark. He shrugs his shoulders.

"I've been told I have a very R&B sounding voice." He then gestures towards his Adam's apple in his throat. "It's because of how deep my voice is; makes songs I sing sound more relaxing and seductive."

"Your voice sounds seductive even when you're not singing." You compliment. He smiles softly before he moves his hand, holding his index finger up to his lips. You nod and get quiet as you listen to the song.

Winter Bear.

You find yourself growing sleepy as you stare into Taehyung's eyes while hearing his voice.

He then reaches his hand over and runs his fingers through your hair, gently moving a strand of hair out of your face. He then keeps his hand pressed against your scalp and begins using his fingertips to massage the roots of your hair.

You then hear him starting to hum along to the tune of the song. This causes your breathing to slow down as you grow more and more relaxed.

Eventually, Taehyung begins singing along to the song quietly as he lulls you to sleep.

Once your eyes are fully closed, Taehyung smiles at you, no longer singing. Instead, he merely hums while staring over at your sleeping face for a few moments before leaning forward and pressing his lips onto the top of your head.

He then allows his head to rest on yours as he continues to hum the lullaby.

Your unconscious body stirs in your sleep as he does this before moving closer to his body. You curl up to him and allow your head to rest against his chest. He then sighs before resting his head on top of yours once more.

The two of you leave your bodies entangled as you fall into a deep sleep with Taehyung's record continuing to play in the background.

*****
I hope all of you are doing well. I've been trying to wrap up this story. I'm around chapter 54 as of right now and the goal is to finish it by chapter 60 (not sure if that's doable but I'm trying to so it's not dragging on too long).

I purple all of you
Kim 💜
