When Jungkook arrived at his house, he immediately went straight to his room to sleep. But he almost got a trip on his way to his bed. He looked down at the floor, seeing Taehyung curled while hugging the pillow.

He crouched down in front of Taehyung and stared at him. He will admit that Taehyung is so gorgeous. It was his first time seeing someone who looks so beautiful to be a man.

But he wonders what Taehyung witnessed to make him like this. He didn't know him, but he felt like protecting him. He looks so broken, like fragile glass.

“Who are you?” Jungkook mumbled, unconsciously brushing the strand of Taehyung's hair from his forehead.

He shook his head and stood up from his position to lie down on his bed. He removed his coat and plopped onto the bed. He's so tired right now that sleep is the only solution to ease his tiredness.

“Help me”

Jungkook opened his eyes when he heard something. He looked at Taehyung, who seemed to be having a nightmare while squirming around the mattress.

“Hey!” Jungkook attempted to wake up Taehyung by calling him, but it didn't work.

He left his bed, shaking Taehyung's body.

“Wake up!” Jungkook shook him.

Taehyung opened his eyes and tears fell from his cheeks while looking at Jungkook.

“Are you ok?” Jungkook asked him.

Taehyung sat down and didn't hesitate to hug him tightly. His heavy pants can be clearly heard, and his body was shaky too. Jungkook was taken aback by his action, it was his first time getting a hug from a stranger.

“T...they are going to kill me… they're chasing me… I'm scared, I don't know what to do… I'm so scared… please help me…” Taehyung cried, and his fist curled on the back of Jungkook's shirt, obviously scared because of his nightmare.

Jungkook doesn't know how to comfort someone. He's been living alone since his adult life and hasn't comforted someone yet.

“It's okay, it's just a nightmare, no one was chasing you, and no one was going to kill you. It's all just a nightmare.” Jungkook attempted to comfort him and slowly wrapped his arms around Taehyung, pulling him closer to shush him down.

He softly patted Taehyung's back, hoping it would work to calm him.

“Don't leave me alone, I'm so scared. They are so scary, I don't want it to happen to me. Trust me, they can kill me, I saw them do that. I saw them kill someone. They will do it to me too.” Taehyung looked at him with teary eyes.

His face was already swollen because of crying, but Jungkook still found it adorable.

“Sshhh, stop now, it's just a nightmare. No one was here, it was just the two of us. Whatever you see is just made of your imagination, you are safe, and you are fine. Okay? Don't cry now, everything will be alright.” Jungkook wiped off Taehyung's tears because they looked ugly on Taehyung's face.

Taehyung just nodded his head and snuggled his face back on Jungkook's shoulder.
