"You want some more food or something?" Tae asked me.
"No."
"Wine?" He held up a glass to me.
"No."
"Water?"
"N- yes, please, actually." He poured some water into a glass for me and handed it to me, fingers brushing over mine. "Thanks."
"So what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to sleep."
"It's not even nine yet."
"Well I'm an early sleeper."
"Not this early. Come on, let's do something fun."
I bit the inside of my cheek. "Okay. What do you want to do?"
"Well, we can play Mario Kart."
"Oh, yes. Yes let's do that. Yes yes yes. I am going to beat the crap out of you in Mario Kart."
"I very highly doubt that."
"Loser gives the winner whatever they want."
"Well, then you're lucky I'm not the type of person to want a lot," he said, looking at me smugly.
I smirked up at him. "Well, let's see, shall we?"

Turns out I wasn't that much better than him. Out of three sets that we had done, I had won two, and in the third one I lost by two points because he pushed my off the edge of the road in one of the courses and I died, but apart from that I beat him in pretty much everything.
"Okay. Now I won, you have to give me something." I said, leaning back against the couch. We were both sitting on the floor, a little closer than we should've been, but in the moment it didn't matter. We were just two kids playing Mario Kart right now.
"I can give you..." he looked around, and then placed his hand in his jeans pocket. "My love!" He took it out of his pocket and held a little finger heart out to me, smiling that same boxy smile that I loved so much.
I smacked my forehead. "Sure."
We played for a little longer, but eventually it got to the point that we were just trying to push one another off the edge of the course.
"NooooooooO!" Taehyung hollered, jumping up and down after I pushed him off again. "Y/n!"
"I told you I'd beat your ass."
"Fine, fine. No need to rub it in."
Laughing, we helped ourselves to a little bit more food and drink, and continued to sit there, chatting just like before, enjoying every minute of it.

"What's the time?" I leaned over his shoulder to read the time on his phone's Lock Screen.
"Eleven fifty- six," he replied, turning back to look at me. Our faces were ridiculously close, but neither of us commented on it. I honestly didn't mind, and he was too nice to say anything probably.
"That is way past my bedtime," I said, standing up. "I'm gonna sleep now." I stretched my arms out and yawned.
"Y/n?"
"Hm?"
"Wait two minutes, okay?"
"Kay." I yawned again. He ran upstairs while I waited for him to come back down.
"Y/n!" He called out loudly from upstairs.
"What?"
"How tall are you?"
"Short."
"Uh...okay."
I heard his loud footsteps coming down the stairs once more.
"Can you come upstairs?"
"Okay." I followed him up.
He ran into his room and came back to me, holding a bundle of clothes in his hands.
"Here." He held them out to me, clearly proud of himself.
"Thanks," I said, taking them from his hands. Our fingers brushed last one another again, and I felt my face heat up. Come on, y/n, what are you, six years old?
"Can I use the shower, if you don't mind?" I asked. I hadn't showered since I finished work, and it had been hours. I felt icky as heck.
"Oh, yeah, sure. You can use the guest bathroom."
"Thanks."
I took a quick shower in the cool water, not able to figure out how to make it any warmer.
Once I finished, I put aside the clothes I had worn before for the next day before wearing the ones he had given me in place of them.
It was a thin light blue T-shirt with a little bear on the middle, that was really soft and comfortable, and a pair of pajamas which were wayyy too long.
Sighing, I folded them up a couple of times at the waist, and then bent over and folded them a couple of times at the bottom as well so I wouldn't trip.
Taking A look in the mirror, I resisted the urge to burst out laughing. The T-shirt was supposed to be short sleeved, but the sleeves went down to my elbows, and the pajamas were even baggier than the plaid ones that I had at home.
I quickly brushed my teeth with an airplane toothbrush that he had given me before washing my face and feet once again.
Turning the doorknob, I walked out. Taehyung was sitting in the bed in the guest room, doing something on his phone.
"Taehyung? Do you have any smaller clothes? These really don't fit. Like trust me, I love oversized clothes but these are-"
"No, sorry," he said, and I looked up at him, surprised.
"I think I saw a smaller set in the-"
"Oh yeah, the blue one?"
"No it was white," I replied
"Oh the white one! You don't want that," he said. "There was a cockroach in it the other day. You don't want that."
"I- okay?" I sat down on the bed next him.
"One sec, y/n, I have to take this," he said, gesturing to his phone and get up to walk out of the room. He speed- walked into his bedroom and shut the door.
"But there wasn't an incoming call, though?" I mumbled.

*Taehyung PoV*
She went in to shower, and I sat on the bed in the guest room, going through all the notifications on my phone, which were depressingly few. I exhausted all of them pretty quick, so I went back to my Home Screen and just stared at it, my finger hovering above the YouTube icon. For some reason I felt guilty going forward with the show without y/n.
But she's already watched it, a voice in my head said.
But if you wait you guys can watch it together, another voice replied.
They argued back and forth for a little while until I decided I wouldn't watch anymore. I heard the shower go off, and I tapped my foot impatiently, waiting for her to come out.
Bored, I clicked on my photos and began scrolling through old ones of me and the boys when the door swung open, revealing her standing there in her, well, my pajamas.
She's so cute. Oh my god. Oh my. Okay. Deep breaths Taehyung. Deep breaths, holy shit she's cute. You're gonna give yourself away. She's so cute MygOsh how? Deep breaths.
The clothes were very oversize on her. To be fair they were quite loose- fitting on me too, but on her they made her small figure look even tinier, and if possible, even cuter.
"Do you have any smaller clothes? These really don't fit." She went on to say something else, but I was too distracted trying to tear my eyes away from this bundle of absolute adorable before my eyes.
"No, sorry."
She said something about seeing a smaller set but I just made something up about a cockroach since I knew she hated them. I felt bad lying to her but she just looked so goddamn cute.
"Okay." She sat down on the bed next to me in tiny. Oh she's so cute MygOsh she's so cute she's so cute.
I looked away, because never ever before had I ever even imagined wanting someone this badly. All I wanted was to hold her, to talk to her, to be affectionate to her, and know she was mine. Shit. I shouldn't be thinking these thoughts when she's right next to me.
"One sec, y/n. I have to take this." I pointed to my phone, needing an excuse to get out of there before I literally exploded. Without waiting for a response, I got up and half- walked, half- ran into my room, closing the door behind me.
I wanted her so bad, but in the most innocent way possible. I just wanted to be able to call her mine.
She would be mine one day, wouldn't she? One day. If I plucked up the courage to tell her how I felt. If I ever got over the butterflies that erupted in my stomach every time she looked at me, every time she spoke to me. She had to be mine one day. I just had to wait until I could call that day 'today'.
***
I just sat on my bed for about fifteen minutes, just doing nothing but thinking. About her, about my friends, about everything in general.
Brought back to my senses after a little while, I picked up my clothes and headed into the bathroom for a quick shower, after which I got into a T-shirt and shorts before going to check on y/n.
It was impossible to deny that I was eager to see her again, clad in the oversize clothing that just enhanced every adorable thing about her.
I saw that the door had been pushed closed, but it wasn't completely shut; there was still a ray of light shining out of the door. Just to be sure, though, I knocked on the door twice.
"You can come in," her voice came form inside, so I pushed the door open and walked in.
For a second I was confused as to what she was doing. There was a thick comforter laying on the floor, and she was just placing her pillow on it. As I watched, she picked up one of the blankets from the bed and took it to the floor as well, opening it up and spreading it out.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh! I'm sleeping on the floor."
"You know, I'm sleeping in that room. I wasn't planning on us having to share a bed. You can sleep in the bed." I didn't want her to be uncomfortable in the night.
"Yeah, but the thing is I can't."
"No, you should sleep in the bed."
"No, I'll sleep here, it's fine."
"No I'm serious."
"So am I," she said defiantly, looking at me confidently. We both held poker faces for a second, not breaking eye contact until she burst into a little laugh, causing me to do so as well.
"You're gonna sleep in that bed," I said, moving towards her.
"Nope," she tried to dodge and go around me, but, slipping on the oversize pajamas, she stumbled a little, causing her to lose whatever element of surprise she had.
So, grabbing on to her and picking her up, I went over to place her on the bed. It took me a second to realise what I had done, and I looked at her face, eyes wide.
Her eyes were full of surprise too, but she didn't say anything as I placed her down on the bed slowly.
"Uh...sorry."
She smiled. "Seriously, it's okay. But Tae, I can't sleep on this bed. It's a little too springy, and it's just more comfortable on the floor."
"Oh... okay then, whichever way you're more comfortable." I replied, my brain still not functioning properly.
"So, um, good night then," she said softly.
"Yeah, goodnight." She got into her little makeshift bed and pulled the blanket over herself. Switching off the light, I left the room, closing the door behind me. I headed to my room and flopped down on the bed, eventually falling into a deep, dreamless sleep.

"Good morning!" Y/n's cheery voice greeted me as I walked into the kitchen, rubbing my eyes.
"Um, morning," I mumbled, sitting down on one of the stools next to the counter.
"I hope you don't mind, I took the liberty of making us some breakfast." She said, as she smacked down some food onto the two plates she had taken out. It smelled quite good.
"Thanks," I said. "How long have you been up?"
"About twenty minutes. I just brushed my teeth and came down to make some food."
"Uh-huh. Yeah," I mumbled, still not fully awake. I had dragged myself out of bed when I heard her downstairs, and I figured that it was worth the pain of waking myself up if I got to see her in the cute pajamas again.
"Do you have any coffee?" She went over to one of the cupboards to check.
"Coffee? No. Sorry. I don't really like coffee."
"What? Really?"
"Yep." I smiled apologetically at her. I know a lot of people like it, but I just find it bitter and thin."
"Really. Wow. Okay, um, do you want milk with your food or something?"
"No, thanks. I'm good." I replied, flattered by her concern.
She gave me a plate and I began eating, after which she sat in the stool next to me and began to eat as well.
We ate mostly in silence, in part due to the fact that I thought I might explode from the adorableness. Her feet were dangling almost a foot off the floor when she sat on the barstool.
"So," she said, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. "What do you plan to do today? It's a Saturday."
"Uh... I don't really know. Probably I'd go to visit Jungkook."
"Hm." She chewed, looking thoughtful. "Okay."
"Wait, why?" If she wanted to hang out with me, I'd cancel all my nonexistent plans.
"I was wondering, since Rina and Jungkook aren't getting anywhere, we could go for lunch together somewhere, the four of us, and, you know," she wiggled her eyebrows. "Set them up."
I'm a lucky guy aren't I? She wants to spend time with me. "Yeah, sure."
A/n: hello! I know this chapter is a little shorter than usual, but I have a little plot progress form here that needs a chapter of its own.
