After texting him that, I closed my phone and binge watched Friends. I laughed here and there, occasionally peeking at my phone screen.

/ 26th December /

It was 1:00am. Christmas was over.

I couldn't help but tear up a little. Once I realized my actions, I blinked away my tears and shook my head.

It's just a mere Christmas. Taehyung is a busy man. If I am going to make a fuss out of this little incident, I don't deserve him. I have to be more understanding.

Yes, understanding.

I nodded at my own thoughts and forced a smile. I continued watching Friends to stop myself from overthinking.

And it went for how long? I'm not sure as I fell asleep on the couch in my bedroom, the TV opened all night long.

The morning sunlight tingled my eyelids, causing me to open my eyes wearily. I spaced out for a brief moment until my consciousness took control. I immediately sat up, eyes wide. I checked my phone to only see-

ME:
love you so much 💜 i'm waiting

I started to worry. Taehyung isn't the type to ignore me like this. There must be something going on. My chest tightened, thinking all of the possibilities.

Car accident? No. No. No. No.

I did not know who to ask. I didn't have his parent's number. I didn't have other BTS members' numbers. A certain name lighted up in my head.
