Y/N's POV

I woke up this morning realizing that Taehyung's arm was wrapped around my waist, and felt his slow breath on my nape.

I got my requested cuddle yesterday after our meal as promised, and I didn't even realized when did I fell to sleep.

I didn't even have any nightmare or woke up in the middle of the night.

I guessed, I did feel safe being with Taehyung.

Turning around to face the said man without lifting his hand away from me, I saw him frowned when the sunlight hit his face, and Taehyung moved closer, using my body as shield to cover his face from the light.

"Are you not going to wake up?" I asked, and was only replied with a tighter hug on my waist instead.

Looking down at him who had his face buried in my chest now, I breathed out a soft laugh thinking of how comfortable Taehyung was in treating my body like his hugging pillow.

And how unaffected I was from his action.

While I was beyond disgusted when I was touched by that douchebag yesterday, I didn't mind Taehyung's touch.

Not at all.

"Do you have class today, Taehyung?" Looking at the time on the phone, it was still early to get ready, but it's never wrong to ask.

I didn't want to be the reason he slept so well and missed his class later.

The boy shook his head in a very small motion for a few times to give me his answer, and I took in a deep breath before letting it out.

Closing back my own eyes, I brought my hands up and ruffled Taehyung's fluffy hair with my fingers.

Loving the feel of the ruffles, I brought my arms around and hugged his head, at which the boy only replied with an exhale of breath against my chest.

He let me hugged him like a teddy bear, and did nothing when I wrapped one of my legs around his hips.

"How do you feel today?" He mumbled but still understandable, and I looked down when I felt his eyes on me.

Taehyung had looked up with his chin resting on me, but I wasn't bothered.

"I feel like wanting you to be my boyfriend," speaking out the request, Taehyung blinked a few times before his eyes widened, and he immediately supported his weight using his arms up, before he hovered over me.

"You're not taking that back, okay?" he asked, waiting for my confirmation, and I nodded.

"I'd rather be your girlfriend rather than just taking advantage of your kindness like this," speaking after seeing how patient he was with me, I decided to trust this guy this time, wanting to feel the feeling of being a precious person to someone for many more days to come.

Not just yesterday.

And to be treated preciously by Taehyung, I didn't think it'd be bad.

"You don't have to feel forced to be with me, Y/N. I'm being like this to you because I just want to, not because I want you to be indebted to me," he spoke out of concern for me again, and I smiled soft as I brought up a hand and rested it on his cheek.

"I know, but I could sleep soundly last night thanks to you, and I feel comfortable around you, so it's not forced. It might be a bit unfair to you, but I'll try to like you like you like me. And looking back at how you had acted towards me, I don't think it'd be that hard. I just need time,"

"Are you really sure?"

"I am,"

"I'm going to boast to them all right away, are you sure you're going to be my girlfriend?" He moved a bit to take his phone from the nightstand and lifted the phone in front of me, and I just nodded again, giving him the approval to do so.

"You can do so,"

"Yes! Thank you, love. Thanks so much. I'll treat you best," diving down and peppered me with butterfly kisses all over my face, I smiled scrunching my eyes close with wide smile, happy for his enthusiastic reaction, while also feeling ticklish from the kisses.

"Oh, and one more, Taehyung" remembering that one thing I wanted from him since last night, Taehyung stopped his action and focused on me immediately.

"What is it?"

"Can you, cover this?" Pointing to the area with a bit of red mark on my neck, the place where I was kissed by the harasser yesterday, Taehyung face turned serious before his eyes glanced at me with a bit worry.

"Can I really?" He spoke kind as if not wanting me to feel uncomfortable from this sort of physical contact, but I honestly didn't mind it if it was him.

"I know it'll be gone in a few days, but I don't want to look at it anymore. But if it's yours, I don't think I'll have trouble with it," telling him my true feelings, Taehyung bit his bottom lip before he nodded.

"Do tell me when you want me to stop," again, with him worrying about me, had put a smile on my face, at which I showed to him without hiding, hoping that he'd be assured that I'd be okay.

Taking his face in my palms, I pulled him down for a kiss, and Taehyung took control of it soon, his action filled with gentleness, putting my comfort on top of everything else.
