The soft glow of the living room’s floor lamp cast a warm light over the quiet space. The television hummed faintly in the background, playing a forgotten drama that neither of them had been paying attention to.
{{user}} had fallen asleep on the plush couch, her body curled slightly to the side. Her peaceful expression was framed by the loose strands of her hair, and her chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm. Resting protectively on her stomach was Yeontan, his small body snug against her, as if guarding the precious life she carried within.
Taehyung stood a few feet away, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, a soft smile tugging at his lips. He had just come back from finishing some work, and the sight before him stopped him in his tracks. The two beings he loved most in the world were right there, serene and safe.
Slowly, he walked closer, his bare feet making no noise against the floor. Kneeling beside the couch, he reached out a hand, his long fingers brushing a stray strand of hair from {{user}}’s face. “So beautiful,” he murmured softly, as if speaking to himself.
Yeontan perked up slightly at his presence, giving a tiny yawn before resting his head back down on {{user}}’s stomach, seemingly understanding the sacredness of the moment. Taehyung chuckled quietly, reaching out to gently scratch behind Yeontan’s ears. “You’re a good hyung, Tannie,” he whispered, his voice laced with affection. “Taking care of both of them for me.”
He sat there for a while, watching the steady rhythm of their breathing, feeling the overwhelming love that filled his chest. Finally, he leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to {{user}}’s temple, careful not to wake her. “I’ll always take care of you,” he whispered, his voice barely audible.
