You try to stifle your giggles. The drama, Best Mistake, was hilarious. As soon as the drama started, you and Jungkook had started eating the food you had gotten from the pantry.

All the laughing makes you shift your attention from the pain in your arm. You lean back, and enjoy the drama.

Jungkook and you had to keep your laughter in check. If Jin got up in the middle of the night and heard you, you'd be in more trouble than you could imagine.

The blankets creased as you moved. You take a cheese and corn sandwich from the pile of food.

"You want a sandwich?" you ask Jungkook.

He nods, his eyes frozen on the screen. You pick up the first sandwich which comes in your hands and throw it at him. It hits his hard chest and falls on his lap. He picks it up. His fingers fumble around the plastic wrapper as he tries to open it.

The door opens. Your eyes span from the laptop screen to the door. Your hands ready to push Jungkook off the bed as soon as you see who was at the door. Momentarily, you forget about both of your injuries.

It was no other than Kim Taehyung. You fall back onto the pillow. Your injured arm throbs. You curse yourself for not being careful. The sooner you heal the faster you can get out of bedrest.

Jungkook pauses the drama and looks at him with his brows furrowed. Taehyung raised his eyebrows at Jungkook, then looked at you. You pinch the bridge of your nose. You hoped you weren't the one explaining things to them.

"Hyung, what are you doing here?" Jungkook asked. His piercings glinted in the dim light.

"I came to check up on Yeona... cause she's hurt." He lies.

No one except Jimin knew Taehyung slept in your room. You thought Taehyung would not come today when he didn't show up after dinner. You should be glad he was here, but things were going to get awkward from now on.

If Jungkook was suspicious, he said nothing. Maybe Jimin already told him.

"What are you two doing?" He asked.

"Watching a movie." Jungkook shrugged. "Wanna join?"

Taehyung strode forward. He flipped off the covers and got into bed beside you. He was sitting closer to you than you were to Jungkook. You were squished between the two boys.

Jungkook shifts the laptop so that Taehyung could also see.

"What are we watching?" He asks you.

"Best Mistake." You continue to catch him up to what has happened so far. After you are done, Jungkook hits play. You slouch back on the pillows.

Taehyung's arm slides across your back. You hope your face did not reflect the feelings you were feeling inside. You look at him. His dark eyes were on you. A serious expression moulded on his face.

Unnoticed by Jungkook, he slides his hand down your back and rests it on your waist. With a tug, he pulls you even closer to him. Putting more distance between you and Jungkook.

"I thought you weren't coming today." You whisper.

"I had to wait for Jin hyung to sleep." His lips touch your earlobe. You feel his breath linger on the back of your neck. His voice resonates through you.

You nod and focus on the drama. The episodes were barely 10 minutes long. You could finish them all in one night. You were laughing and cooing over the characters, all while being aware of Taehyung's hand on your thigh.

You didn't move it. Over time, you were growing more and more comfortable to his touch. As though he was the blanket you would wrap around yourself on a cold winter night while you sat in front of the kindling fire.

The night stretches into early morning. The moon fades as the sun rises. Bangtan's house was on the outskirts of the city. Birds sang melodies outside your window.

You lean back onto Taehyung's shoulder. Your eyes flutter as you try to keep them open. Jungkook fell asleep moments ago.

Slowly, you too drift into the black ocean of sleep. Your body and mind going to rest, even if it was only for a few hours.

You wake up to a slamming sound. It felt like you had slept for only a minute. You blink a few times, trying to adjust your eyes to the light entering the room. What time was it?

You didn't want to wake up right now. You were on bedrest, you could sleep for as long as you want.

You snuggle your face into your pillow. You feel fabric wrinkle. That wasn't your pillow. The place where you were resting your head was harder than the pillow you used to sleep on. Then you hear rhythmic beats vibrating through you. You look up. Your head was rested on Taehyung's chest.

Your legs were sprawled across his lap. His hand was wrapped around your waist and the other hung limply to his side. You tense your forehead. How had you gotten in this position?

"Oh my god!" a frustrated voice said. You remember the voice, but you weren't fully conscious to recognize it. "Jungkook, Taehyung, get up and out of here before Jin hyung sees you."

Taehyung stirs beside you. Jungkook wakes up with a start. You title your head and see Jimin. He looked panicked. He didn't want to get scolded again.

You swing your leg away from Taehyung's lap and grab a pillow. The two boys scamper around you, picking up the laptop and the food wrappers. You close your eyes again. You were going to sleep for some more time.

"Are you sure you can sleep alone?" Taehyung asks. "Won't you have a nightmare?"

"Not during the day." You mumble from under the covers.

Taehyung doesn't respond. Jimin says something again, but you don't understand it.

The last thing you hear in the door shut and you drift into your dreamland again.
