They all sat there in silence which was, now, an uncomfortable one. The hype built up in last few hours died so unexpectedly that no one was able to cope with it.

"You know, we can't go home now, right?" Taehyung said after what felt like centuries.

"Why not?" Hoseok turned towards him in confusion.

"If Jin hyung knows that we had something to do with his relationship, he is going to let us have it when we enter the house." Taehyung explained slowly, careful of his selection of words, for some reason.

Jungkook and Jimin oh-ed at him while Hoseok had a sudden panic attack.

"Oh shit! He only recently punished us and now this. He is going to skin us this time! Jimin, why did you-*sigh*" Jimin only pouted at him.

"Hey, it was an accident. And you can stay here, if you are so scared of him." He mumbled the last part but was heard just fine earning him a punch on the arm.

"Yah! Do you have any idea how scary Jin hyung is when he gets mad?" Hoseok started a childish argument with Jimin and obviously the younger was going to fight back, full force.

"Yeah, I do. But I'm still not a scardy cat, like you." Jimin held his chin up as he pointed his finger at Hoseok's chest.

"I'm not a scardy cat." Hoseok huffed.

"Are so."

"Am not."

"Are so."

"Am NOT!"

"ARE SO!"

"AM. NOT."

"ARE. SO."

"Enough already!" Jungkook finally snapped making three heads look at him in disbelief.

"What? It was annoying." Jungkook turned back to stuffing his bag totally ignoring the looks he was getting.

"You just yelled." Jimin said softly as if he was scared.

"Look who's scared, now." Hoseok whispered to Jimin but only got a glare in return.

"Ok, I'm done!" Jungkook finally zipped his bag and faced the others with a satisfied look.

"What do we do, now? We have a whole day and a night until we leave." Taehyung asked.

"I don't know. You guys are the ones always coming up with ideas. So, you tell." Jungkook sat down beside the others.

"Let's watch a movie." Jimin's proposal earned eager nods almost immediately.

"I get to pick." Taehyung jumped up to set his pick but was dragged back by Hoseok.

"No, I'm the oldest here, so I pick." Taehyung jerked his hand out of Hoseok's grip.

"Actually, the youngest should pick." Jungkook added matter-of-factly but Jimin stopped him from getting up.

"I have watched more movies than any of you. So I know better which one should we watch. Also, it was my idea." Jimin's boasting made the others glare at him. Since, no one wanted the others to pick they glanced at each other and dashed altogether. The sudden jump turned into an entangled mess soon and no one was moving out of the bed since they had entangled themselves with each other so much making it impossible to get free.

"Let's just do rock paper scissors." Hoseok finally screamed. The others agreed and retracted their limbs from the mess they created. Once back in one piece, they began.

"Rock paper scissors, go."

Taehyung out.

"Rock paper scissors, go."

Jungkook out.

"Rock paper scissors- go." Jimin put his fist out in an instant but frowned at Hoseok when he out paper after a second.

"You're out." Hoseok declared.

"Yah, that's cheating." Jimin jumped up. "You saw, didn't you? He cheated!" Jimin whined as he shook Jungkook's shoulder. Hoseok winked at Jungkook and the younger understood.

"I don't think so. He won fare and square." Jungkook replied innocently making Jimin clutch his heart.

"Kookie, how could you?" Jungkook giggled but shrugged at him.

"Sorry, but he did. Right, Taehyung?" Taehyung didn't even blink before nodding his head like an obedient puppy.

"Who will ever believe you?" Jimin sneered at Taehyung but then sighed in defeat. It was three against one, after all.

"Fine. You can pick." Hoseok grinned at Jimin before getting up and picking one. When he finally did he turned around to show the others.

"Frozen? Really? Are you a kid?" Jimin got up too and snatched the DVD from Hoseok's hand.

"But it's a good one. And who said only kids can watch this?" Jimin totally ignored Hoseok's protest and skimmed through the pile.

"Here! This is better." Jimin proudly showed his choice but it only made the others laugh at him.

"You want to watch how to install windows?" Taehyung asked and bursted out laughing. Jimin quickly looked down and face palmed. He turned around and picked another one.

"I meant this one." The others took a look at his hand as their laughter died.

"Conjuring, again?" Jungkook asked as his body slumped.

"Yeah, why not?" Jimin held the object tightly just in case that Hoseok tried to snatch it in revenge.

"I'm okay with it." Taehyung agreed and Jungkook shrugged too. Now it was three to one for Hoseok so he had no other option than to agree.

"I hate horror movies." He mumbled as he made his way back to the bed.

"Of course you do, ya scardy cat!" Jimin teases but Hoseok only poked his tongue out to him.

Once the movie started, they put out the lights and closed the curtains to make it darker inside the room. Taehyung stopped the video all of a sudden making the others look at him questioningly.

"We can't watch it without having something to eat." He did have a point. Jimin quickly rushed out and came back almost twenty minutes later holding a plastic bag with chips and soda cans in it. They were enough to last them for two movies.

Once they all got their hands full, the movie was played.

Hoseok screamed a few times during the whole movie which made Jimin tease him but the other two watched silently. Around the mid of the movie Jungkook's shoulder felt heavy and he found Taehyung peacefully sleeping on it. The same weird feeling came back and Jungkook couldn't focus on the movie anymore. When Taehyung moved a little closer, Jungkook stiffened. He wanted to push Taehyung off like he always did, but at the same time, he was loving the warmth of him, like he always did. He didn't realize how long he kept struggling with himself over pushing Taehyung or not. He only came to his senses when Taehyung mumbled something in his sleep. Although he could see the older sleeping he couldn't stop himself from asking "what?" as he leaned his head closer to hear clearly.

"mhnhnhm Kookie"

/He's dreaming about me?/

Jungkook flushed at the thought but then dismissed it because Taehyung might be dreaming about baked cookies and not him. He still couldn't focus on the screen in front of him. His eyes kept back tracking to Taehyung's sleepy face but he would force himself to look back up.

When the movie finally ended, Jungkook slightly shook Taehyung to wake him up.
"Hey, wake up. It's over." Jungkook spoke softly, for the reason he himself was unaware of.

Taehyung only wrapped his arms around Jungkook's and whined a small 'no' causing the younger's breath to hitch. He was already too close for Jungkook's comfort level and now he was whining cutely like a baby. Jungkook still tried to keep his cool as he shook him one more time without freaking out.

"Tae, wake up. Wake up." Taehyung only snuggled up closer and Jungkook didn't know what else to do now, so he did the only thing he was capable of thinking. He pushed Taehyung away with enough force that made the older fall on the other side waking him up instantly.

"What? What did I do?" Taehyung immediately put his arms up in defense as he stared at Jungkook and the others with wide alert eyes. Hoseok and Jimin were unaware on the ordeal that took place so they only stared back at his sudden outburst while Jungkook's eyes travelled everywhere except of Taehyung. He was glad it was dark inside or else his prominent blush would be as clear as a bright day. Before anyone could say anything else, Jungkook got up and turned on the lights and started shuffling the DVDs in front of him.

"Aahhh! It burns!" Jimin hissed like a vampire and Hoseok joined him. Taehyung only covered his face with his hands as he tried to adjust his eyes to the sudden brightness.

"Shouldn't we go out or something? We can't just keep watching movie after movie until tomorrow." Jungkook suggested still not looking back, afraid of making eye contact with Taehyung.

Jimin and Hoseok stood up instantly.
"Ok. Let's go."

Taehyung, however, sat there and watched Hoseok and Jimin skip out. When Jungkook walked past him Taehyung quickly grabbed his wrist and stood up. Jungkook looked down at his hand and then up at Taehyung, in confusion.

"Did I, um, you know, do or, um, say something when I was asleep?" Taehyung stuttered horribly as he asked keeping his eyes down.

Jungkook wondered if he should tell him that he heard only 'kookie' and nothing else or if he should just lie. Besides what he heard didn't really mean anything, anyways so what's the point of troubling the other, right?

"No." Jungkook said flatly but felt like he sounded angry.
"But.." So, of course he would try to make up for it because it's Taehyung he was talking to. What difference did it make? He didn't know either. It just did, and that's that.

"You sleep like log so I had to push you hard to make you fall because you weren't waking up." Jungkook smiled at him and Taehyung relaxed visibly.

"Heh! What can I say, I'm a heavy sleeper."
He rubbed the back of his neck as he laughed and Jungkook joined.

"Tell me about it." They stood there giggling softly with Jungkook's wrist still in Taehyung's hand but neither was complaining. More like ignoring it.

"Aren't you guys coming?" Jimin appeared at Jungkook's door suddenly and Taehyung's hand retreated like a rifle's recoil. Jungkook's eyes darted to Jimin, then at the ceiling and then back at Jimin. He laughed awkwardly as he walked over and past Jimin quickly.

Meanwhile, Taehyung had his hands behind his neck as he looked towards the wall at his side and inspected a small dot very keenly. After Jungkook left, Jimin's brows furrowed as he eyed Taehyung.

"What were you two doing?" Taehyung almost jumped in his spot at the question but maintained his composure. He thought he would better get out of the room before he could be investigated further since Jimin was highly suspicious of him at the moment. And that's exactly what he did. He only shrugged at Jimin before walking out, as if nothing happened. If Jimin didn't know any better he would have believed him, but he knew better and there was definitely something going on between Jungkook and Taehyung. He let go of it for a while but decided to keep an eye on both of them from now on. He just had to find out what they were hiding.
