Taehyung and Jungkook - Nothing like us

15th

"Where have you been??", Jin asked angrily just the second Jungkook opened the door of the tour bus.
"I-"
"The line was long, it's not his fault", Jimin interrupted from his seat.
"And I want my wallet back."
If eyes could kill, Jungkook thought.
He grabbed from his pocket and pulled the older's wallet out, who directly snapped it from his fingers, "stop taking my money. Now come eat."

"Where is Taehyung?"
"He's back in his cabin."
"Why, is he okay?"
"Not exactly. He just got a call from his mom. His grandma seems to be doing worse, so Yoongi told him he didn't have to help cleaning", Namjoon said as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
"What? Well, he can't skip meals!"
"He said he was feeling nauseous, what should we do? Force him til he throws up?" Yoongi asked.
"No, but it's not helping if he isn't eating anything. I'll go to him-"
"It's great that you're friends with him again, but he needs his space too. He said he misses Yeontan."

That they're friends again? What did he mean with that? Their tense atmosphere around each other must have caught their eye.

And what about Taehyung's grandma? Her doing worse? He knew that Tae grew up at her's. It must be hard to not be around her right now.
Jungkook just silently grabbed the menu he picked for Taehyung with a bottle of water and went to the back of the bus. Their cabin was empty so Jungkook just knocked on the door that separated the hallway from the couch area.

Then he shoved the door open and found Tae cuddled up in a blanket looking outside the window, watching the road changing.

The younger was unsure of what he should do. He just put his hand on Taehyung's shoulder and massaged it slightly so he would notice the youngers presence. It worked as the older moved his head and smiled weakly when he saw Jungkook.

"Hi. I- I brought you food."
Tae only nodded and turned to the window again. So Jungkook shoved the door close and sat behind the other, a table next to them too, where he put the food.
Since neither of them said anything, the maknae decided that he had to show his support otherwise and he just slung his arms around the other and laid his head on his shoulder.

"It's gonna be alright", he whispered.
"We're all here."

Jungkook felt the olders hand lay on his own.
They stayed like that for a bit.

Jungkook heard Taes stomach growl and it reminded him of the food he brought.
"You should eat something."
"I don't really feel like eating."
"I know but- you know you shouldn't skip."
Taehyung opened his mouth to say something but stayed silent.

"It better not be spicy", he said and Jungkook laughed. "It's not I swear."
He let go of him so Tae could turn around while the younger grabbed the menu from the table.

"Wait, what are you- Jungkook, I can do it myself, really", Taehyung said with a blush on his cheeks as Jungkook made a gesture to feed him but the maknae shook his head.

"Just eat it", he said and put the chopsticks with the food closer to the others mouth. Tae just rolled his eyes but didn't argue anymore.

After they were done, the younger gave him some water too and took him into his arms again.

"Now tell me that this didn't make you feel a bit better."
Tae nodded into Jungkooks chest.
"Thank you", he mumbled. Just then, the younger felt him shaking irregularly and he noticed the quiet sobs.

He grabbed Tae by his shoulders and pulled him back. His face was run over by tears, his eyes tired and his lips pressed together.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. Don't cry, she'll be okay."
"Jungkook-", was all Tae said until he had to catch his breath.
"Shhh shhh it's okay."
Jungkook wiped the tears off his face and pulled him into his arms again. He caressed the olders hair on the back of his head. He kissed his head a few times, then leaned back.
