The sunlight is now peeking through Taehyung's blinds.

You smell the scent of freshly made galbi, bibimbap, and Korean pancakes from outside of his bedroom.

As you slowly open your eyes to see where the scent is coming from, the first thing your eyes get sight of is Taehyung. His eyes are still closed, he's breathing heavily, and his lips are slightly parted with a small bit of drool running along the side of his mouth. His hair is disheveled and he looks so peaceful while asleep.

You let out a soft laugh before carefully starting to move.

However, you're stuck in place.

Taehyung's strong arms are fully wrapped around your body, trapping you in your place. One of his legs is also wrapped around your legs, keeping your legs from going anywhere.

You can feel his chest moving with every inhale and exhale his body does.

When you try to carefully remove one of his arms from you, you feel his grip tighten around you. His eyebrows are now furrowed and he has a grumpy look on his face, not wanting his sleep to be disturbed as he pulls you in closer.

You stare up at his face, admiring how angelic and peaceful he looks while asleep. With the exception of his messy hair, of course.

You can't resist and reach a hand up to fix his hair. This causes him to stir in his sleep once more, now rolling away from you and covering his head with the blanket as he faces the other way. You smile to yourself before slowly sitting up in the bed, careful not to make too much movement.

Now's your chance to freshen up before he wakes up.

You slowly get off of his bed and make your way towards the bathroom while doing a quick double take at Taehyung.

Once you see that he's still fast asleep, you let out a relieved sigh and slowly close the door behind you.

"Sleep well?" you hear a soft whisper near you. This causes you to slightly jump before you see Jimin smirking down at you. You let out a relieved breath before speaking.

"Don't scare me like that!" you whisper-yell at him before glancing back at Taehyung's door. "Yeah, I slept well."

"I noticed that Taehyung wasn't on the couch this morning when I went to wake him for breakfast... did he use protection?" you merely roll your eyes as he questions this.

"Jimin, Taehyung may be smooth but he's not as quick to climb the tree as you are." You respond with a smirk on your face. "We just listened to a record he made and fell asleep in his bed. Nothing happened, I'm not one to give it up that easily." Jimin nods his head before smiling.

"Good." He then licks his lips before taking a deep breath. "I just wanted to make sure he wasn't rushing into it with you. I think you're good for him; I don't want him to rush it, I want this to be a long-lasting thing for him." You smile as he says this before nodding your head.

"I do too." You respond. "I've had more than enough of a taste of the casual dating world and I'm done with it. I want something long-lasting too." Jimin smiles as you says this and nods his head before lifting his hand. He points back towards the area of the kitchen.

"I made some bibimbap, Korean pancakes, and a bunch of other stuff for everyone. One of our friends that you met at the party the other day is going to be stopping by in about thirty-to-forty minutes. So, if you could wake Taehyung up in a bit so he can at least get dressed, that'd be great."

"Oh, I probably won't be joining. I have to head back to my dorms and start packing everything up to go back home for semester break." You respond. "But I can go wake Taehyung up and make sure he's ready to go for the breakfast."

"Aw, that's a bummer. Eh, we'll be able to have a meal together soon anyway I'm sure." He grins before gesturing towards the door. "But yeah, please make sure he's ready for breakfast. The last time we had someone over for breakfast, he woke up late. He's not a morning person." He says while laughing.

"Is anyone ever a morning person?" You joke. "Okay, I'll go wake him up right now." He nods and makes his way towards the kitchen once more. You watch him walk away for a few seconds before making your way towards the bathroom.

Once in there, you immediately use the bathroom, brush your teeth, and wash your face before applying some sunscreen and light concealer.

While looking at yourself, you smile at Taehyung's shirt that's hanging loosely from your body. You then finish up in the bathroom and make your way back towards Taehyung's room.

You see that he's now sitting up in the bed, staring blankly at the wall as he squints his eyes.

You gently knock on the door as you look over at him. Slowly, his head turns and he examines you with squinted eyes. He waves his hand at you.

"Morning." He says, his voice coming out even deeper and raspier than normal. This causes you to widen your eyes for a second, taken aback by it. You then clear your throat and point towards the area of the kitchen as you remain standing by the door.

"Morning." You say with a grin. "Jimin made a lot of breakfast. He said one of your friends from the party the other night is stopping by soon. You should probably get out of bed and start getting ready." You say before gently biting onto your lower lip as you watch him struggling to get out of bed. He then nods his head slowly before taking a deep breath.

"Are you going to be joining us?" Taehyung immediately questions as he starts to fully focus now that he's awake.

"Ah, I can't I have to move out of my dorm now that final exams are done." You respond before leaning against the doorframe as you stare over at him.

"Aw man. Okay, I'll get ready quickly so I can drive you back to the dorms before he gets here." He reaches his hands up to rub his eyes before stretching his arms upwards in the air.

"Are you sure? I don't want you to be late to your breakfast." You state. "I was just going to get a cab or something." He shakes his head.

"No, I'd rather make sure you get home safely. Wouldn't be a good bad date bodyguard if I let you go home with some random driver." He states.

Once he's fully stretched, he yawns one last time before throwing his legs over the side of the bed and standing up. Once up, he makes his way towards you.

"Oh? Are you still my bad date bodyguard?" you tease.

"Why wouldn't I be?" he questions as he steps closer to the door where your feet are firmly planted.

"Because you're my date now... and you're not a bad one."

"Ah, but I would be if I didn't make sure you got home safe." He says as he approaches you, staring down at you. "I won't take no for an answer."

"But-"

"The longer you keep arguing with me, the less time I have to get ready. The less time I have to get ready, the higher the likelihood of me being late for breakfast." He says while staring down at you. You sigh before nodding your head.

"Alright, fine. Go, get ready." You say while stepping aside, allowing him to exit through the door.

As you step to the side, he walks towards the door before pausing next to you. Reaching his hand up, he gently rests the palm of his hand on top of your head, gently patting it once. You widen your eyes as he does this, ready to ask what he's doing.

"You look pretty in the morning." He mumbles before removing his hand from the top of your head and exiting the room. You watch him walk away for a few seconds before you smile widely to yourself, shaking your head.

You then exit the room yourself but turn the opposite way to go to the kitchen. Jimin glances over at you for a second before looking back down at the dining table he's setting.

"Is he getting ready?" you nod your head.

"He was already awake when I had to get him. No trouble on my end." You grin over at him before stepping towards one of the seats at the dining table. You rest your hands on the top of the chair as you watch Jimin setting the table.

"So, he won't be late today?" You bite onto your lower lip.

"Well, he did insist on driving me home but I'm only a few minutes away." You respond. He then nods his head slowly before speaking.

"Yeah, I knew he'd do that."

"How come?" Jimin grins.

"Because we're soulmates." Jimin states. You furrow your eyebrows at him as he says this. "Platonically."

"Ah... can you have a platonic soulmate? All soulmates I've seen are lovers. Should I be worried?" you jokingly question. Jimin laughs before shaking his head.

"Well, that's because you've never met Taehyung and I." he sets down a fork by one of the plates set up on the table. "Again, we're totally platonic. Nothing to worry about here." You nod.

"Then how'd you know he'd offer to take me home?"

"Because that's one condition he has with everyone in his life." Jimin leans over the table, glancing over in the direction of the bathroom where Taehyung is. Once he knows he's in the clear and Taehyung isn't able to hear them, he speaks again. "Ever since the whole incident, he's been extremely protective of everyone in his life getting home safely. He feels it's his responsibility to make sure everyone important to him is okay."

Oh. That's true.

You're surprised you didn't realize it right away.

"Oh... that makes sense." You respond.

"Alright, are you ready to go, Y/N?" Taehyung's voice now echoes throughout the room. You quickly nod your head and look at Taehyung. He's dressed in a graphic t-shirt and a pair of jeans.

He grabs the keys to his motorcycle while Jimin watches him make his way towards the door. You follow behind him.

"Drive safe!" Jimin states.

"Always do." Taehyung responds before the two of you leave, Taehyung locking the door behind you.

Once you get to the motorcycle, Taehyung gets on first and hands you the helmet. You put it on without hesitation before straddling the bike behind Taehyung, arms wrapping around his waist. He starts the engine before driving out of the parking lot.

He weaves his way through traffic as you grip more tightly onto him. As he drives, you allow your head to rest on his back and stare at the buildings and cars you drive past.

Before you know it, the usual short drive feels shorter as he pulls into the parking lot of your dorm.

He drives towards the entrance of your dorm, not wanting to make you walk. He then parks the motorcycle and balances on one foot while you get off of the motorcycle and remove the helmet from your head. You smile over at him and hand him the helmet, ready to turn around.

Once the helmet is in his hand, he takes it with one hand before using his other hand to grab your hand, pulling you back to him. You stumble forward, surprised before you realize what he's doing.

He wants a kiss.

Now that you're closer to him, he's staring up at you with sparkling eyes that show more emotion than the rest of his blank face. You stare down at him before leaning down and softly pressing your lips to his.

While kissing him, you feel the same feeling in your stomach that you do every time you kiss.

Your stomach is dropping like you're on a steep drop of a rollercoaster. However, it simultaneously feels like your stomach is rising as if you're going up the hill leading towards the steep drop.

Your heart is speeding up, and yet, you find your breathing stopping mid-kiss.

He slowly pulls away from the kiss, the sound of his lips moving away from yours echoing.

You stare down at him for a few more seconds as he stares up at you.

Then, suddenly, a wide smirk finds its way on his face as he stares up at you. He then licks his lips while staring up at you and tilting his head to the side.

Your jaw drops as you watch him do this, immediately affected by the way he's staring at you.

"Aw... with those eyes I'm tempted to ditch the breakfast..." he mumbles to himself rather than to you.

He then leans up for one last peck of a kiss. His eyes remain on you, switching from your lips to your eyes a few times before he reaches his hand up, gently resting his index finger on your chin.

"I'll see you later, baby." He states.

"O-Okay." You stumble on your words, taken aback by this man's handsomeness.

"Oh, and baby?" he questions while you begin walking away.

"Yes?" you question as you look back at him.

"You don't mind if I call you that... do you?" he questions, tilting his head to the side. You immediately shake your head.

"Not at all." You respond. He smiles widely.

"Good."

And with that, you continue towards the entrance to your dorm building with Taehyung sticking behind to make sure you get in safely before driving off.
