Chapter 34 - Closer… Without Realising

💜 NIGHT — CONTINUATION 🌙

You were still on the couch.

TV playing softly.

You weren't really watching.

Your head felt a little heavy again.

Y/n said softly, "I think I'm still a bit tired…"

Taehyung looked at you.

"Then go sleep."

You shook your head.

"No… I'm fine."

You leaned back.

Closed your eyes for just a second.

💜 ACCIDENTAL MOMENT 💜

Without realising—

Your head slowly tilted.

And this time—

it didn't stop at the couch.

It rested on his shoulder again.

You didn't wake.

Didn't move.

Just… stayed.

💜 HIS REACTION 😭💜

Taehyung froze.

For a second.

Then slowly—

he relaxed.

Didn't move away.

Didn't disturb you.

Instead—

he adjusted slightly.

So you were more comfortable.

Your hand slipped—

and rested lightly on his arm.

That small touch—

made his breath pause.

💜 HE DOESN'T MOVE

Minutes passed.

You were fully asleep now.

Peaceful.

Trusting.

And he just sat there.

Not even looking at the TV anymore.

Just… looking at you.

💜 PROTECTIVE SIDE 😈

Suddenly—

your phone rang.

Loud.

You stirred slightly.

Frowned in your sleep.

Before you could wake—

Taehyung quickly picked your phone.

Silenced it.

Looked at the screen.

It was Jimin.

His jaw tightened slightly.

But he didn't answer.

Didn't wake you.

He just kept the phone aside.

Carefully.

💜 SMALL ACTION, BIG MEANING

He looked at you again.

Then—

very gently—

he shifted your head slightly.

Letting you rest more comfortably.

His hand stayed near your shoulder.

Not holding.

But ready—

in case you moved.

💜 LATER — YOU WAKE UP

After some time—

you stirred.

Slowly opened your eyes.

Realised—

you were leaning on him.

Again.

You sat up quickly.

"Oh—sorry…"

Taehyung said calmly—

"It's fine."

You looked at him.

"Why didn't you wake me?"

He replied—

"You looked comfortable."

That line—

simple.

But it stayed.

💜 SMALL PROTECTIVE MOMENT 😈

You reached for your phone.

"Did it ring?"

He nodded.

"Yeah."

"Who?"

A small pause.

Then—

Taehyung said—

"Jimin."

You blinked.

"Oh…"

You unlocked your phone.

But before you could call back—

Taehyung said—

"You can call him later."

You looked at him.

"Why?"

He replied—

"You were resting."

Silence.

Something in his tone—

slightly firm.

Slightly… possessive.

💜 YOU NOTICE 👀

You tilted your head.

"Or… you didn't want me to pick?"

He looked at you.

Didn't answer immediately.

Then said—

"I didn't want you to wake up."

You smiled slightly.

"Hmm."

Not fully convinced.

But you didn't push.

💜 FINAL MOMENT 💜

You leaned back again.

This time—

not on him.

But close.

Very close.

Y/n said softly—

"You're different now."

Taehyung looked at you.

"Good or bad?"

You thought for a second.

Then said—

"Still deciding."

He nodded slightly.

"I'll wait."

You smiled.

Small.

But real.

And this time—

neither of you moved away.
