Taehyung slept over and stayed through the next day, and JungKook slept only to leave again around 9 am, and Seohyun had just a small window of time to see him before he left. And he grinned brightly and hugged her before leaving again, even though he seemed a bit too exhausted to be going to work. "Why did he leave so early?" She asked, sitting up against his chest because days were getting colder because it was October now, and the temperature was dropping in the house as well because neither one of them knew where the thermostat was.

Of course, maybe it was just cold because she was wearing a red long-sleeved t-shirt that wasn't particularly warm and a pair of dark red fuzzy socks. She wasn't wearing a bra or pants, so maybe she was somewhat cold. Maybe.

"Because he said two of his coworkers were out and he has to fill in. I don't see why Byunghun couldn't do it. That guy is too lazy for his own good and JungKook works way too hard because he's reliable," Taehyung told her.
