“Kids, it wasn't everyday you had a pretty man knock on your door in the middle of the night… but it happened.”
“Namjoon and Seokjin were away on a small trip to see Namjoon's family for about a week and I had the apartment to myself..”
“I was dead asleep in bed, when the sound of the front door of the apartment being hit caused me to wake up and almost fall out of bed..”
Taehyung caught himself with his blankets and let out a sigh of both relief and tiredness from being woken up. He sat up in his bed and looked at his alarm clock and furrowed his eyebrows at the glaring red number that faced him. It was almost two o'clock in the morning on a weekend.
Taehyung stayed still for a second listening for any noise again, then he heard the door being knocked on again. Taehyung stumbled to his feet, making his way out of his room and to the front door. He turned the light on and then unlocked the door and opened it and stood for a second taking in what he saw.
It was Jeongguk. His eyes were red rimmed and teary, cheeks wet with tears, his hair dishevelled from the wind of the night and in his arms was a dog. Wrapped up in the other's jacket that Jeongguk had graciously wrapped around it to protect the poor little baby from the cold.
“T-taehyung- I- I didn't know what else to do, where else to go, I just saw him in the ally on my way home and I'm not sure if my apartment allows animals-”
“Just come in, Jeonggukie” Taehyung gestured for the other to come inside with a small smile.
“Really? Thank you so much-” Jeongguk rushed in and started to whisper to the dog in his arms and sniffed to himself as he sat, not on the couch but on the floor.
Taehyung shut and locked the door behind him and moved to sit down by Jeongguk, who just sat hunched over the dog in his arms.
“Get comfortable on the couch, I'll get some water for him and I'll look for some food for him too, okay?” Taehyung tried to catch the others' eyes with his own but couldn't. He placed a hand on the other's back to rub up and down his spine to try and calm him down.
“I.. I don't want to be away from him..” Jeongguk shook his head.
“Then I'll go get my blankets and make a makeshift bed for him on the ground here, okay?”
“Okay” Jeongguk nodded.
“I'll be back in a minute, I'll try not to take too long, if I am, just yell for me” Taehyung told the other before getting up and rushing towards his own room.
Jeongguk didn't reply, he just nodded. Taehyung stood up and almost ran to his bedroom. He scooped up his duvet and blankets and even a pillow before walking back out of his bedroom and to where Jeongguk was sitting.
Taehyung placed the duvet down and directed Jeongguk to place the dog on the soft duvet before taking the jacket off and placing the blanket on top. Taehyung then slipped the pillow under the dog's head to keep it upright.
“I'll be back with some food and water okay?” Taehyung let the other know while he watched Jeongguk softly pet the dog's head.
“Okay..” his voice was broken.
Taehyung stood up and walked to his kitchen to look through the fridge to find someone suitable for a dog. He saw he had some roast chicken in a container. It had been cooked so it was safe for the dog.
“Do you have a name for him..?” Taehyung asked as he started to take the chicken out of the fridge and place it into a different bowl.
“Uh.. I don't know..” Jeongguk muttered to himself. “Bam..? Maybe.. Yeah, Bam..”
“Bam it is then” Taehyung smiled as he came back with the bowl of roast chicken for Bam. He placed it down and looked at Jeongguk.
“He'll be okay” Taehyung reassured as he dragged his hand up and down Jeongguk's arm.
“He was shaking and cold..” Jeongguk pouted as he watched Bam move to sniff the roasted chicken before deciding to eat it.
“I'll get some water as well, keep an eye on him”
“Already am” Jeongguk replied softly.
Taehyung chuckled softly at the reply before he stood up and made his way back to the kitchen for some water for Bam.
“Taehyungie…?” Jeongguk called softly.
“Yes?” Taehyung replied as he grabbed another bowl to fill it with water.
“Where are Namjoon and Seokjin?” He asked softly. “If they were here they would've woken up by now”
“Oh they went to see Namjoon's family for the week” Taehyung replied as he walked back out with the bowl of water. He placed it by the other bowl for Bam.
“Did.. did I wake you?” Jeongguk asked sheepishly.
“Why do you-?” Taehyung was about to ask but then looked down at what he was wearing. Just a shirt and boxer briefs. “Oh.. yeah…”
“Sorry” Jeongguk giggled.
“No, no it's okay” Taehyung laughed. “I'll grab some spare blankets we have so you can sleep in my bed if you want”
“And where would you sleep?” Jeongguk asked.
“Out here, the guest should be the one to sleep comfortably” Taehyung smiled.
“Maybe..” Jeongguk then frowned. “But I'd rather be near Bam..”
“How about I make a makeshift bed out here for the night then?” Taehyung suggested. “For the both of us”
Jeongguk nodded. “Please, that'll be good”
“Okay I'll be back then” Taehyung nodded and stood up. He then stopped where he stood and looked down at the other, who was in uncomfortable jeans and a loose long sleeved shirt but his puffer jacket was in his arm.
“Do you want a change of clothes as well?”
“Uhm..” Jeongguk looked down at his jeans and then looked up at Taehyung. “Yeah, please, if it's not too much trouble”
“It's not, I'll be back in a second” Taehyung smiled.
Taehyung then walked to his room to grab some items for Jeongguk to wear and to grab some blankets and another duvet.
“Kids, that night changed something between us, I saw Jeongguk in another way, more than the potential date; than the potential ‘lover’.. he was more than that to me, he became my one and only, my ‘the one’”
