Chapter 7: Morning Promise

Namjoon's POV

After my awkward outburst, we finally went to sleep, but at one point I wake up because the apartment has gotten so cold, so I get up and grab my sweaters. I wake Jin up so that he can put on a few to stay warm.

"Hey, Jin. Put these on. They'll help you stay warm."

"Thanks, Hyung." The way he calls me hyung makes me blush. Thankfully it's dark so he can't see. 

Once Jin has put on a few sweaters, I wrap Tae up in a sweater and hold him to me as close as possible. Why hasn't the electricity come back on? It's freezing. I start to feel that Jin is shaking due to the cold, so I slowly reach over and pull him towards me. It's too cold to care about embarrassment and what not. We keep Tae in between us. The three of us create enough body heat to keep us warm. Now that we are warm, I feel that Tae has fallen back to sleep.

"Jin, are you ok? Are you warm enough? Do you want me to grab some of my jackets?" I ask Jin worriedly. I hope he isn't too cold.

"I'm ok, Hyung. Only my feet are cold."

The moment he tells me his feet are cold, I feel him try to put them in between my feet. How cute. Since his feet are cold, I let him get closer and put his feet in between mine. We lay like this until we fall asleep.

Jin's POV

The moment I wake up, the sun hits my eyes, so I try to roll over. However, something heavy wrapped around my waist won't let me. As I slowly open my eyes, I am met by a very interesting view. There is an arm draped around my waist. Who is this? When did this happen? I slowly try to lift up the arm, but then I hear a groan behind me and feel the arm tighten. 

Ummmm KIM SEOKJIN! THINK! How the HELL did you end up like this? Then I feel something small kick my back. It feels like a rather small foot. So, because of all of these strange happenings, I slowly roll over. And boy am I met with a stunning sight! The handsomest man I have ever seen is sleeping right next to me with his arm wrapped around me, and the prettiest baby is clinging to us. 

Then all of the memories from the day and night before come crashing on me. I take in more of my surroundings to discover that my legs are entangled with his. As amazing as this is, it's also embarrassing. What if he gets upset about our position? I for sure am not upset, but I am still getting to know him, so I don't know what he likes or dislikes. 

While I try to untangle our legs, he tightens his grip around me. Why won't he let go? Should I wake him up? Nope. I am going to pretend I am asleep. Pretend I have no idea what's going on. 

Namjoon's POV

I wake up because I feel something wiggling around. When did Taehyung get so big? As I open my eyes, I see the sleeping face of an angel. I can't help but smile because the sun is hitting his face just right, and the way Tae is cuddling in between us makes me long for something I can't have. I can't drag someone I just met into my dysfunctional life. I have a lot of baggage and responsibility. No one deserves being dragged into all of this. As much as I love Tae, does not mean my life is easy. Yes, I will always choose Tae all over again. But, I will also choose to not drag others in. 

I know Jin is gay. What straight guy looks at another guy the way he looks at me. I know I very quickly caught feelings for him, but that doesn't mean he would want to be dragged into my life. He seems to come from a good family who would not want their son to get involved with a guy who already has a baby and a broken past. 

While I am thinking about my life and its complications, I realize I am staring at Jin. He is so beautiful and definitely out of my league. He deserves someone who can give him the world. I can't do that for him. 

Jin's POV

I can feel Namjoon watching me. I know he is thinking about something because as time goes on, his grip around me tightens. What is he thinking about? Is something upsetting him? I want to open my eyes to see if he is ok, but I am afraid to disrupt his thoughts. I feel him pull me in closer to him then slowly start to let go. Why is he letting go? Why is he sighing? Why do I feel like he is sad? I just met him, but I know he is sad. I know he is letting me go. Why?

No! I won't let him let go of me. He's the one who said he was grateful I chased him down. I will keep chasing him until he stops and lets me walk and run alongside him. We are young, so I have plenty of time. Kim Seokjin, DO NOT LET HIM LET GO!

Before he can fully let go of me, I open my eyes. The eyes which greet mine are startled and sad. I was right. He is sad. I will make him smile. He doesn't have anyone in his life who puts a smile on his face. Taehyung is too young to do this for him, so I will. I will make sure he smiles.

The moment I look at him I smile. I instantly intertwine my legs with his more and place my head against his chest. I will let him know that now I have entered his world, I am not leaving it. I will never leave his world. I will bring color back into his world. I will teach Tae to do the same. Together, Tae and I will turn Namjoon's black-and-white world vibrant.

When I snuggle into him more, I feel him stiffen and then slowly wrap his arm back around me. I look into his eyes and tell him,

"If you let go of me, I will hold onto you tighter. I am not letting go nor am I going anywhere."
