Now: Jimin's POV:
The next morning when I woke up, Taehyung was sleeping next to me this time. He was laying on his back, one hand wrapped around my shoulders, and his dark hair a mess on the white pillowcases.
I had noticed this about him, multiple times already, but every time that he slept, he looked much more peaceful than when he was awake.
Brushing his hair out of his face I leaned in closer, trying not to wake him up. Leaving light kisses under his left eye, on his cheek and the corner of his mouth, I couldn't help but think how lucky I was to stumble upon him in this life time.
Maybe us meeting that night in that run-down bar, was fate, and maybe us being together all alone on Christmas was because we had always been destined to be together.
Nothing seemed possible before him. Now, as I intertwined our hands together and his eyes started opening slowly, I knew that we would have met any time in our life time, because there was no way that we would have lived on feeling fully fulfilled without each other.
He bought my hand that was holding his closer to his face, and laid it on his cheek, kissing my palm softly. This was one of his habits that I was a sucker for, and hoped that he would keep for a very long time.
"Merry Christmas, angel.", his voice was soggy, and his eyes were barely open, yet he was such a sight to see.
I leaned in, capturing his lips into mine. "Merry Christmas. Let's stay in bed all day.", I mused.
He secured his grip on me, and I laid my head on his shoulder. "Do you want to call your parents? I know today is important to you."
I shook my head. Today was indeed important for me. "Not today. I'm sure they'll be fine. I just... want to lay like this and not do anything until I get hungry."
"Then we'll do that.", his hand on my back was tracing a pattern, subtly making me more comfortable.
"Your birthday is coming soon. Let me take care of it, I know exactly what I want to do."
"Oh! What you want to do?", he squeezed the side of my waist making me burst out giggling. "We can do whatever you want to. I just don't want any cake."
"What?", I pushed myself up, putting my weight on my elbow. "Why not?"
"I haven't had a birthday cake in years, and doing it now would just make it weird.", a birthday without a cake wasn't really a birthday...
As I laid back down, I couldn't help but think of all the holidays and birthdays that he either spent all alone or in some bar. I knew that it was something that he couldn't help, yet thinking of him all alone on days that were supposed to be the most memorable of the year, made something inside me burn.
A person like Taehyung wasn't supposed to be all alone. He is supposed to be surrounded by love and happiness. Luckily, I will make sure to bring that to him.
I wouldn't let him suffer anymore. If I could at least transfer some of his pain from his soul into mine, I would do it in a heartbeat.
"Hey, don't worry. I'm fine, really. I don't need much, just us together is enough.", enough. I was enough for him. As was he for me.
Neither of us will have to suffer anymore. Two hearts that finally found a home in this messed up world. That was enough.
That was how I spent my first Christmas without my family. In a run-down motel, laying in a bed with my boyfriend and eating junk food.
It was new and it was something that I had never done before.
But it was home, and home is where the heart is.
