Meet me in the stars

2nd Date

3rd person POV: 1 week later

Jungkook lay awake with Tae sleeping peacefully on his chest, he looks over at the clock 2:03 am he sighs deeply before gently peeling Taehyung off of him replacing himself with a pillow, Tae stirs slightly before snuggling tightly into the pillow, Jungkook quietly walks out the room avoiding the creaky floorboard 5 steps from the door, he quietly makes his way through the house not wanting to wake anyone he walks to the kitchen and is startled to see Jimin sitting on the island in the middle of the kitchen eating a sandwich, " Jimin what the hell are you doing sitting in the dark like that?!" " what I was hungry" Jimin answers casually "Jungkook sighs and shakes his head before opening the fridge taking out a bottle of banana milk, " hey Jimin?" Jimin hums in response " what's Taes ideal date?" Jungkook asks him frowning realising he has only been on one date with Tae and that was when they met 4 months ago, Jimin smiles brightly at him before answering " you know he will go anywhere with you kook he loves you a lot but I've known Tae since forever and he always said his ideal date would be a day out at the fair he's always loved the lights, the games, all the unhealthy sugary foods that he shouldn't be eating, the loud music, seeing people with bright smiles on his faces and the rides of course" Jimin chuckles thinking about his best friend. "Of course that's his ideal date, the fair literally screams Tae" they both chuckle, " thanks chim im gonna take him tomorrow he's been doing so good lately he's only coughed up blood twice this week and he doesn't need my help as much walking anymore" Jungkook smiles thinking about how healthy his boyfriend has been maybe fate is changing for them? Jungkook looks up at Jimin surprised to see such a sad face his eyes glossy as he tired not to cry, " chim? .... what's wrong..?" Jimin sighs and put his sandwich back in his plate wiping his hands on his lap as a tear rolls down his cheek dropping to the floor, Jimin inhales slowly steadying himself before talking. " Jungkook have you ever heard of the surge?" Jungkook frowns and shakes his head Jimin sighs again before continuing, " Jungkook when you and Tae were in the hospital a few weeks ago when you were both really sick.... Dr wang told us about this thing called the surge fearing that it might happen soon..... Jungkook the surge is when the body gets sent into shock and makes it think that it's okay, the person will appear healthier than ever like nothing was even wrong..." "but that's a good thing isn't it? He's getting better?" Jungkook asks confused "no Jungkook ... it's not a good thing..... the doctors still don't know why this surge happens it can last from a few minutes to a few days but once it's over death always quickly follows it will happen really suddenly..." they both sit in silence staring blankly at the floor before Jungkook speaks, " you think Tae is surging don't you ...." " I don't know Jungkook the doctor says how long someone surges varries in each person, I thought that maybe he was surging but it's been two weeks now I don't think the surge will last this long..... I don't know what's happening with Tae right now but I don't want to get my hopes up, if it get my hopes up it will hurt even more when it finally happens no one can fully prepare but I can pray" Jimin slides off the counter top walking towards Jungkook before pulling him into a tight hug, Jungkook tenses before relaxing into the hug "I don't .....I don't want him to go Jimin" Jungkook says in a shaky voice holding back a sob, " hey shhh it's okay kook he's here with us now and he's happy and he's okay right now so let's just live in the right now okay?" Jungkook nods and pulls away from the hug, "thanks chim" Jimin nods before speaking again " now go back to sleeping beauty he will miss you not being there, besides you need to go and sleep ready for your date tomorrow" Jimin says smiling at him warmly. Jungkook nods before walking away back to his shared room with tae, while Jimin washes his plate and glass before heading back to yoongi and Hobi knowing Jin would scold him if he left dirty dishes on the counter.
Jungkooks pov:
I wake up early the sun shining brightly in my eyes I groan at the pain in my eyes I really have to remember to shut the curtains at night, i look down to see a heavenly site Tae is led on my chest one arm tightly wrapped around my waist his cheeks slightly squished against me, his soft brown locks draped messily across his forehead a small pout placed on his lips looking irresistible, I lean down and place a gentle loving kiss on his soft plump lips "good morning baby" I whisper softly not actually wanting to wake him up he groans softly before turning away snuggling into his pillow I coo and chuckle softly at this before getting up showering, brushing my teeth and changing into some casual clothes I leave the bedroom and close the door gently not wanting to wake Tae. I make my way downstairs and am confronted by Jin and Jimin who are drinking tea in the leaving room, "hey kook, where are you going so early?" Jimin says looking at the clock 9:13am, I'm going to get a couple of things for mine and Taes date, I want it to be perfect this time without being spied on this time" i say sternly looking at the two, " yes yes don't worry we won't crash your date this time" Jimin says rolling his eyes " when Tae wakes up tell him to pretty himself up even though he is already very beautiful and meet me at the cafe round the corner at 11 o'clock" they nod at my request before I walk out of door.

Taes POV: I wake up feeling a familiar burn rising in throat, i clumsily crawl out of bed Hastiliy making my way to the bathroom before I reach the toilet I hunch over clutching my stomach as a flood of blood pours from my mouth, I groan at the pain and gasp trying to catch my breath, this never gets eaiser it's the first time this week that this has happened no wonder there is so much, I curse at myself for how much mess there is on the floor luckily the floor is tiled and I can clean it up without anyone knowing, I take a minute to catch my breath before grabbing a wash cloth and wiping the floor, I brush my teeth desperately trying to get rid of metallic taste left in my mouth, I wash my face and ruffle my hair before heading downstairs, I see everyone but Jungkook making me frown, Jimin notices this "he's out you two are going on a date today he wants you to meet him at the cafe at 11" he says whilst smiling at me, I smile shyly thinking about how Jungkook has decided to take me on a second date, " chimmyyyyyyy come and help me pick an outfit" he giggles at me before getting up and following me back to my room, we finally decide on a washed out pair of blue jeans a cream hoodie and denim jacket cute but casual just as I was about to leave the door bell rings we all look at eachother confused I open the door and a smile instantly grows on my face, there Jungkook stands holding a bouquet of red and white roses " I know I said to meet me at the cafe but it would be rude not to pick my date up" he says smiling at me showing his adorable bunny like smile, he hands me the roses, I bring them up to my face smelling them closing my eyes at the sweet smell I quickly go to the kitchen putting the flowers in vase before Jungkook takes my hand pulling me out of the house, " have fun!!" I hear my hyungs shout out.
