Taehyung woke up...

Once again...

Without...

Jungkook, BY HIS FUCKING DAMN SIDE!

This time, he groaned, but then his eyes widened remembering Jungkook's illness. He stood up, checked the time which showed, 7 PM, and ran out of the room like a flash of light, reaching downstairs living room, where he stood, quietly, well, more like, with an expression that held the famous 'done' look. Why?

His bunny was sitting on the big couch, pacifier in between his lips, wearing a baby blue dino onesie, wrapped in a fluffy blanket from top to bottom, snuggled with none other than...

SUGA.

Well, Tae looked at Jimin whose face carried the expression of -am-i-hallucinating-or-is-it-real.

That's right, Suga rarely cuddled with someone, even Jimin, only when they were together, privately. However, seeing him this way...

As soon as Hoseok entered and was about to speak, he saw the scene and...

FAINTED.

SUGA- Not my fault, Kook was crawling out of the room by himself, wearing all his outfit and so I brought him downstairs, 'cause you seem tired.

Taehyung nodded.

The shock did last longer than expected, for Hoseok, as soon as they threw, practically yes, threw, water on his face, he sat up horrified, and was about to speak when he saw the scene again, fainting back. No one, I repeat, absolutely no one right now was interested in waking him up again, and so he lay, sprawled on the single couch. Meanwhile, Jin was checking his own temperature after Suga refused to do so, worried while Namjoon simply sat looking from one face to another.

Their attention turned towards Jungkook who coughed and looked at Tae with teary eyes, shuffling off his blanket.

Tae walked ahead, and took the bunny into his embrace, as Jungkook coughed more.

JUNGKOOK- i-it *cough* h-hwurts!

His eyes became teary, as he clutched himself tightly around Tae's embrace.

SUGA- Isn't there any cough medicine, that doctor gave, Jin hyung?

Jin looked at Jimin who seemed like he was thinking.

JIMIN- Wait! Let me go, there was a pill that was prescribed for cough and cold!

Suga nodded and Jimin went to get it.

Jungkook coughed a few more times, and began to cry, in irritation and because his throat was burning.

TAE- Jin hyung, his fever is getting back, I think the time for the pill to react lasted a few hours and not more.

SUGA- Take him back to your room, Tae, I'll get cold water and cloth.

Tae nodded and stood up, with Jungkook in a koala hug, as Namjoon picked up the blanket and wrapped it onto Jungkook's figure, as Tae began to walk upstairs carefully.

Two tablets and Jungkook was already crying after seeing them, because he didn't want to eat the medicines.

They had been trying for the last few minutes but nothing helped, until, Suga turned on a nursery kid's rhyme and began dancing, while Jin pushed Namjoon to join him. A bubbly Hoseok arrived too and joined the duo, and the trio finally began to do sick and funny enough steps making Jungkook stop crying and focus on them, which was a chance for the other three, as Tae took the glass of water, Jimin kept the pills in Jungkook's widened mouth, and Tae made him drink water immediately.

These people are mafias.

The younger was so busy watching the three monkeys, that he didn't realize when he gulped the meds until he felt the bitter taste, and looked at the others in anger, unfortunately, which made him look cute.

Suga fell on the bed, tired, face into the sheets, and the others shook their heads.

They began to talk about nothing as such, when,

TAE- Sh!

And he pointed towards Jungkook's whose eyes were droopy and neck lowered. The effect of the medicines.

The rest smiled and went out, telling Tae to make Jungkook sleep.

SUGA- Call me if you need something.

Tae smiled knowingly and winked at Suga who groaned and closed the door of the room.

Jungkook was fast asleep, beside Taehyung who was simply admiring the boy, for the past hour. He blinked and just kept looking at the younger's sleeping face, who looked so at peace.

TAE- Aah jeez, your face makes me feel so peaceful baby.

WHIPPED.

Tae brushed back a few hair strands that were falling on his bun's face and caressed his cheek softly.

This was the case until Tae's phone rang and he mentally made a note to either kill himself or silence the phone from the next time onwards.

He picked it up, with difficulty, since Jungkook's head was on his arm, and then checked the caller ID.

Unknown.

His expressions changed, the aura around him became darker as he picked up the call, staying silent with a stone-cold expression.

???- Alas! Will you remain silent this way, only Mr. Kim? *laugh* Anyway, I just called to inform you to stay safe, anything can happen anytime~

And the call hung up.

Tae kept looking at the phone's screen and then sent the call recording to the other's group chat. He kept the phone back, not forgetting to turn it on silent, and looked back at Jungkook's face,

The boy was looking at him innocently, with his big doe eyes, without blinking.

Tae chuckled, forgetting everything that happened just a moment ago.

TAE- My baby is awake, hm? Do you need something, bubba?

Jungkook was about to speak when he coughed.

Tae patted his back, as in to provide comfort, but the boy kept coughing for half a minute or so before clutching Tae's shirt.

Simply enough, Tae removed the tank t-shirt he was wearing and made the boy lie on top of him. Jungkook latched on the elder's bare chest, his one hand turned into a fist and the other slowly grazing over the tattoo on Tae's chest.

Well, the elder didn't mind.

Nopes.

Until, Jungkook coughed again, this time accompanied by a small sneeze which irritated the boy to his core, making him cry in trusfration.

TAE- Aye aye, baby don't cry.

He sat up, with the boy on his lap, and began to rub his back, so as to calm him down, who was coughing and sobbing.

Jungkook's whole body shook due to the strength he was requiring while coughing.

His cries didn't subside either, making Tae worry, for if he kept crying this way, he knew he'd get back his fever.

Tae stood up, took the boy into a koala hug, and began pacing around the room, trying to calm him down, which began to work, as Jungkook hiccuped and clung to the elder as if his life depended on it, looking all around the the the room with big puffy doe eyes. This remained the case for ten minutes or so until Tae felt the boy move once again, this time wiggling out of his grip.

TAE- Alright, alright, baby, I'm putting you down, don't worry, hm?

He made Jungkook sit on the bed, and looked at him who was trying to hide his face.

Tae smirked knowing that Jungkook was out of little space and shy.

TAE- Kookie, is it too hot, why are you growing so red, baby...?

He said, putting force on 'baby' which made Jungkook crawl into the blankets and hide himself while whining.

Tae didn't say anything but tried to control his laugh when Jungkook pulled down the blanket and smiled his bunny smile,

Tae groaned for it wasn't really easy to act normally after seeing this much amount of cuteness. Nevermind.

He simply pushed himself beneath the blanket and tickled Koo, which made the younger giggle and laugh loudly.

And finally, they lay, beside each other, in silence, a comfortable silence, Jungkook getting red while staring at the ceiling and Taehyung smiling while admiring our Koo.

TAE- Baby?

JUNGKOOK- Mhmm?

TAE- Don't ever leave me, hm?

Jungkook finally faced Taehyung and smiled,

JUNGKOOK- I won't hyungie!

His arms made their way around the elder's neck and the elder himself snaked his arms around the younger waist.

And soon enough, Taehyung had his lips on Jungkook, not moving, neither backing off.

They remained like that, eyes closed, both their soft petals touching each other, and drifted off to the dreamworld.
