morning lightbeams shone through the window, hitting taehyung's face as he squinted his eyes open through exhausted eyelids. 

he leaned back a bit, contemplating on stretching when he felt large heat and warmth emit from behind him. he looked down, seeing an extremely muscular arm wrapped around his waist. he suddenly realized what happened last night.

'shit, shit, shit,' he thought while trying to sneakily lay jeongguk's arms off of him.

he must've gripped on his arm a little too hard because a few seconds later, he felt movement on the bed and looked over, watching jeongguk stir from his sleep.

"... taehyung?" the younger grumbled, his morning voice making taehyung blush more than it should have.

"sorry! sorry, i'm so sorry, i'm just gonna leave now, haha," taehyung measly replied, quickly clambering off the bed and rushing to fix himself.

"wait, taehyung-"

"thanks for everything, gguk, and thank you for letting me eat your strawberries, and thank you for letting me sleep over, but i think you've done enough for me now. i think i'll just..."

he closed the door before he could hear jeongguk speak and before he could finish his rambling. he took deep breaths, trying to relax his mind while putting on his shoes and almost tripping whilst doing it. he walked out, still puffing his cheeks in and out as he hurriedly skipped back to his house.

"oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh..." taehyung repeated to himself, the redness in his cheeks fully showing as he covered his face in embarrassment. "why am i like this?"

he knew full well that even if he tried to calm himself down, it would never work. he didn't even know how he was supposed to reach to that; he spent a damn night at someone's house he barely even knew, and said someone basically spooned him! he felt ashamed of himself, what if jeongguk decides to hold that one moment against him in an argument of something? he was absolutely devastated, and taehyung knew that in those fifteen minutes of walking, he had to talk to jeongguk about it.

as he spotted his house and began to near it, he walked past the first alleyway, the habit of checking on the tiny puppy taking over him. he lifted the soggy newspaper, but to his surprise, the puppy wasn't there. he was perplexed; he knew for a fact that the puppy never intentionally left the box, since it was too scared of the outside world to do it.

with furrowed eyebrows and a curious mind, he went off searching for the puppy, looking through every nook and cranny as he called out random dog synonyms in an attempt to lure the furry animal back to him.

ten minutes of searching soon became thirty minutes, and he almost made a full circle back towards his house until he spotted a tail he recognized. he dashed towards it, turning his head around the corner and spotting the puppy being entranced by a ball, dashing to it. he widened his eyes, trying to encourage his legs to run faster as he saw what the puppy was doing.

the ball was on the road, and the car that was nearing it looked as if it wasn't planning to stop at all.

'fuck, no, please!' he thought wildly as adrenaline kicked in.

he knew it. he knew that he couldn't reach the dog in time. he knew that a little piece of him would most likely shatter in utter bits and pieces in only a few seconds if his eyes were to witness the scene that was about to unfold right before him. he didn't want to believe it, but it seemed as if fate was about to force him to.

if that were truly the case, though, then fate was indeed toying with him as he saw the ball deflate, his ears picking up a crashing sound. he peered over, seeing a panting jeongguk holding a bundle of fur in his arms with a phone clutched tightly in his hands.

taehyung's mouth fell open as he rushed to the coughing male, patting his back in an awkward manner, gulping right after. he was extremely unsure of what to do right now considering what had happened.

"oh my gosh, jeongguk, are you okay? you didn't get hurt, right?" taehyung hastily spoke as he lifted up jeongguk's fingers. "here, let me see if you-"

"taehyung," jeongguk breathed out, "i'm fine. i'm just a little surprised by what just happened, so i think i just need to catch my breath, okay?"

he spoke with such a reassuring tone that taehyung somehow managed to calm down himself from his voice. he looked at the puppy still in jeongguk's arms, wiggling around as if implying that it wanted to be free from the grasp it was currently in.

taehyung gently wrapped his hands around the pomeranian's waist, picking it up and sitting on the sidewalk, stroking its fur. the dog licked taehyung's face while its ears were down, as if it were apologizing for what it did. he grinned and held the puppy up to jeongguk's face, letting the former's tongue reach his nose.

taehyung giggled cheekily. "he likes you!"

"i mean, i kind of saved his life back there and i don't regret it one bit." jeongguk emphasized back as he poked the dog's nose.

a few minutes passed, and taehyung could practically hear jeongguk's breath emit from his mouth. and then, the older realized they were still sitting on the sidewalk and anyone could run over them with their own feet, so he stood up, offering his hand to jeongguk. the huffing male looked at him, smiling a bit before extending his own hand to grasp onto it, clutching his fingers with ease. the action made taehyung feel something weird in his stomach before he came back into reality.

"wait a second..." taehyung paused. "why are you here?"

he gasped. "were you... were you stalking me?" taehyung accused, pointing his finger at jeongguk while the puppy was still in his other arm. "what the heck, jeongguk, that's super inappropriate-"

"calm your tits, taehyung. i was just here," he held up the phone that he magically had out of nowhere, "to give you your phone back. you left it back at my house, you know."

"oh," taehyung replied, meekly grabbing onto his phone, embarrassed that he'd left such a sacred item to him. "wait, then how'd you find my house? i didn't see you when i was walking home."

"jimin told me that you always take the long way to your house for some reason, so he gave me both routes 'just in case,' and i took the shortcut." he rolled his eyes as he spoke the last few words.

'i'm gonna fucking kill him, i swear to gosh-' taehyung huffed out, trying to calm himself down.

"well, that's fine, i guess. um, you can go back home, now if you want." although taehyung had said that, the duo kept walking towards his house, as if completely dismissing that thought.

"nah. besides, don't you think you owe me something from eating those strawberries, hmm?"

"that was just a one time thing! pfft, whatever. anyways." he knelt down, trying to put the saved puppy back into the cardboard box, but it wouldn't budge. "what's wrong, little guy?"

he heard the pup whimper, attempting to headbutt the box, as if it were indicating that it never ever wanted to go back in there. taehyung groaned internally, and jeongguk chuckled at the scene.

"why don't you just take him in?" jeongguk asked curiously. "doesn't look like he wants to go back there anytime soon. plus, it must be hell to have to sit in a damn box and stay there for your whole life unless you want to make a death wish."

he held his hand out and pet the ball of fluff, smiling while doing so.

he smiled.

taehyung stared at him, wondering where his smile was from. he felt so at peace with that smile when it appeared, and he wasn't even sure if it would do that same action if he did it over and over. that smile looked as if it held so many memories with countless friends from the past, and he could tell that it made others smile just like him, because he was doing it too. that stupid smile made him do the same, and he didn't regret it so much.

"hey, jeongguk," he breathed out, his lips still not giving way, "i think... i think we need to talk about... you know, last night."

"hmm, maybe some other time, taehyung," jeongguk replied right back, brushing it off. "but, do you still remember that something that you owe me because you ate my strawberries?"

"yea, why-"

and suddenly, he could see jeongguk's shadow over him, the younger hovering above him. he felt his cheeks go warm, and he felt an even warmer hand on his chin. the heat that came from just his hand was immense. everything made him dizzy all of a sudden, specifically from jeongguk. he held in a breath as his closed his eyes and-

he felt soft lips, possibly even warmer than his hand, collide with his cheek, and everything seemed as if it would be alright if jeongguk was there.

"and i also think that," jeongguk chuckled as he ruffled taehyung's hair, "you should take the puppy in. it's cute,

just like you."
