Author's POV: 

"Ah... did we reach Bali yet?!" You asked yawning as Taehyung looked at you saying, "Not yet." 
"When will we reach?!"
You asked as he replied, "We just got on the plane 15 minutes ago. Have some patience, will you?" You sighed and started reading the comic in your hands as Taehyung sighed. 

2 days passed by swiftly. You both had many bickering moments and some friendly moments. And of course, chaos with the family. 

"Jin Hyung is so busy... I wish to see him after this trip." Taehyung whispered to himself staring outside the window. He was busy admiring the sky until he felt lightweight on his shoulder. Frowning, he looked beside him to see you sleeping on his shoulder.
"Y-Y/Nsshi?" He asked in a soft tone, but seeing you sleeping ever so peacefully, he sighed. He took the comic away from your hands and carefully kept it on the table in front of you before noticing your face. 

Your eyes closed, a few hair strands falling on your face as your lips formed into a slight pout in your sleep. Looking at your lips closely, he remembered how you kissed him on your wedding day. A sudden feeling of an electric shock gushed through his body as he stared at you. His hands made their way to your hair, tucking them behind your ears as he got a better view of your face. 

A soft smile appeared on his face as he stared at you, admiring you. He realized that the feeling of hatred he had for you when he met you for the first time was just a fleeting feeling that passed by as he got to know more of you. As they say, 'The first sip might be bitter, but the next ones taste better.' 
But the feelings he was feeling right now, he wasn't sure if they were just fleeting or for real this time. 
"Am I about to get into trouble?" Taehyung asked himself, knowing well about what he was starting to feel. 

Agreeing to the marriage, admiring you at times, putting up with your silliness, finding your most useless talks fun, thinking about you often, feeling different every time he was near you... this wasn't simply respect and admiration, was it? 

He looked away, resting his head on the chair as you were peacefully sleeping on his shoulder. Closing his eyes, he tried to get a good rest. 

---Time skip

Feeling like someone was shaking you, you yawned waking up to see Taehyung looking at you.
"Get up, now! We're here." He said as you gasped saying, "Huh? In 5 minutes?!" 
"It's been 3 hours,"
Taehyung said. You looked at him in disbelief and said, "How come? I slept so well for 3 hours?" 
"Yeah, so good that my shoulders hurt."
He said as you realized you had been sleeping on his shoulder.
"You should've woken me up.." You said as he said, "I'm not that heartless." 

You smiled a little as he got up taking down the luggage saying, "Let's go. Help me carry these small bags, till we reach the hotel." You nodded taking the bags and following him out. 

--At the hotel 

"Sir, we're sorry but there is only one vacant room." The receptionist said as Taehyung sighed saying, "But, I definitely booked 2 rooms!" 
"Well, Mr Kim called us and said one room was enough so... we rented out the other one."
The receptionist said. You and Taehyung looked at each other before looking away.
"Should we go to another hotel then?" Taehyung asked as you said, "Let's just put up with this. We're married anyway, what's the use of this?"

"Isn't it you who is uncomfortable sleeping near me?" He asked. 

"Well.. we don't have any option left. And I can't bear to carry the bags again." You said as Taehyung mumbled, "You only carried them for 5 minutes. Anyway, give us the keys." The receptionist gave you both the keys as the staff helped you carry the luggage and bags. 

--Time skip 

"Ah... when are we having dinner?" You asked Taehyung who said, "We just came here."
"Exactly! We came here, so what about the food?"
You asked making him sigh.
"You should've gotten married to food." He mumbled as you chuckled saying, "Weird joke but okay!" 

He sighed and unpacked the clothes putting them in the closet. You got up and said, "Let me unpack mine too!" 
Opening the luggage, a frown took over your face. You quickly searched for the luggage but didn't see any clothes. They were all snacks and essentials you needed for the trip.
"Taehyungsshi. I can't find my clothes." You said as he looked at you confused. Walking towards you, he asked, "Did you check these?" 
You quickly opened the bags and started searching but not seeing a single cloth, you looked at him anxiously. 

He gasped a little and searched along with you but the result was nothing.

"I can't believe you left your clothes!" He said as you thinned your lips looking down.
"What are you going to do now?" He asked as you replied, "Shop for clothes here... for the time being." 
"We can't go now. It's almost 8 pm. We spent the day resting and ordering in some lunch... if we go out right now, it'll take a long time to come back."
He said. You sighed and said, "I can't sleep with this outfit." 
Sighing, he got up and said, "For tonight, just wear a shirt and pants of mine." 
You nodded awkwardly, feeling extremely embarrassed. But suddenly, an idea popped into your mind as you spoke, "Wait, we can just order room service!" 
"Did you forget? They clearly said that they ran out of clothing essentials today. What a lousy hotel... they'll bring those tomorrow. Till then, use mine. It's fine, don't be embarrassed."
He said as you nodded.

--Time skip || After dinner 

You got out of the washroom after freshening up and wearing Taehyung's clothes. His t-shirt was pretty big so you didn't bother to wear any pants underneath. You had an extra pair of shorts in your handbag along with some 'women' essentials so thankfully, you didn't have to wear that extra loose pants of his.

"Are you sure this is a men's t-shirt?" You asked Taehyung who looked at you awkwardly before looking away and mumbling, "Mom bought it for me a year ago.. don't mind that." 

You chuckled and sat on the bed beside him saying, "Well... do we sleep on the same bed?" 
"Do you want to sleep on the couch then?"
He asked as you sighed saying, "Okay... then, umm.. can you keep your distance, kindly? Uhh.. don't cross this pillow." 

You put a pillow in the middle of the bed as Taehyung eyed the pillow before eyeing you. A chuckle escaped his lips as he looked at you saying, "Make sure you don't do that." 
"I won't! That's why I'm asking you!"
You said as he nodded chuckling. You lay on the bed turning around, your back facing him as you closed your eyes trying to sleep. 

---Next morning 

Feeling the sun's rays hit your face, you squinted your eyes, trying to see clearly. You could see some hair in front of you with your blurry vision. Rubbing your eyes, you tried to focus clearly but as soon as you could, your eyes widened. You were sleeping in Taehyung's arms who was hugging you in his sleep. You quickly pushed him before backing away in panic making him groan in his sleep. 

Rubbing his eyes, he got up asking, "Ah.. w-why did you beat me up in my sleep?" You gasped and said, "Yah! Why were you-" 
"What?"
He asked, opening his eyes, staring at you properly. 
"Why did you hug me while sleeping?!" You asked as he frowned asking, "What are you sayi-" 

He was asking but stopped noticing that the pillow didn't exist between you both and that you were sitting close to each other. 
"Where's that pillow?" He asked as you said, "Do I look like I know?!" 
"Wait... there's no way I hugged you in my sleep! Let me think."
He said as you looked at him with a grossed-out expression. Scratching his neck, he sighed not remembering anything.

"Whatever. Make sure this never happens!!" You said and got up, rushing towards the bathroom. Taehyung sat on the bed sighing as you quickly closed the bathroom door holding your chest.
'Why is my heart pounding?' You thought and realized it was just like that blind date you had with him. 
"Isn't a pounding heart the main sign of... falling in love?! Never! I'm dreaming. It's because I was panicking, of course. Yeah.." You reassured yourself before washing your face. Getting out of the washroom, you awkwardly sat on the couch while Taehyung coughed before going inside the bathroom. As he came out, you spoke, "Let's go shopping today... I need to get some clothes."
"Okay, let's go eat something first."
You nodded and took out the clothes from yesterday.

"Who knows what a chaotic first day I'm about to experience in Bali?"
