Jungkook never thought that he'd find a home behind a four metre tall fence and concrete walls, but with the help of the Woodburians, the growing group turned the place into a sanctuary for all. That's until the group was tested by a deadly virus an...

Taehyung wasn't familiar with light in his life, usually his days were tied in the silks of darkness and dipped in a pot of agony. It wasn't like he had anything against it, after a while, you get used to the pressure of the snake-like grip around your limbs and the numbness seeping into your heart. And it wasn't like Taehyung had anything to compare to the obsidian ocean he was drifting on, perhaps sometimes the sun broke through the curtain of clouds above his head and caressed his cheek with its gentle touch, but that was for a split second.
A split second where he laughed with Michonne or found a bar of chocolate in the deepest corner of an empty shelf, or that little light came in the form of seeing Rick for the first time in that police station with a cape of kindness dragging along his heel, just like the sun shone brightly when the gates to the prison parted for the first time and he came face to face with his hero in a uniform once more.
Taehyung had recognised the little flashes of light that slashed through the darkness and made it seem as though it could no longer cling to his skin, only for it to pass just as quickly as it appeared and for him to be engulfed by the poisonous waves of his heart once again. Taehyung had learned a long time ago to not expect for the light to come to him, but when a growing orb of hope slowly drifted closer and closer to him, he couldn't stop himself from reaching out to touch it.
And that's when Taehyung found his eyes peeling apart and lips tightening around the tube stuck between them. He could feel it drag along his throat and press against his uvula, he gagged and wretched, reaching out a hand to tug it out, only for his wrist to get grabbed and for soothing murmurs of breath to nip at the shells of his ears. That's when Taehyung sank back into the ground and looked up at the pair of gentle bambi eyes blinking down at him
Lavender petals of joy bloomed along Jungkook's cheekbones and the slope of his nose, his raven locks shimmered in the flashes of light as if they had been sprinkled with a handful of glitter. Taehyung could only blink and accept the puff of oxygen filling his lungs before releasing it as Jungkook's lips parted and face came closer to his.
The scent of citrus brushed along Taehyung's nostrils with a sway of Jungkook's locks above his face. He watched the bunny of light bounce into Jungkook's eyes and melt the hardened chocolate in his irises until it lightened in tone and nearly spilled over Jungkook's eyelids.
"How are you feeling?" The breathless murmur of breath Jungkook exhaled barely kept away the traces of excitement and concern that threatened to rip through his features and scare Taehyung in his vulnerable state.
Taehyung's mouth mindlessly parted to answer the question, that tumbled past his ears and rolled off the pillow his head was laying on, only for the tube in his throat to prevent the words from reaching his tongue, so, Taehyung opted for a weak nod, which earned him a wide bunny smile and a chuckle from Jungkook.
"It feels like you're not fully here with me." Jungkook snickered and tried to tame his blooming smile, his eyes never strayed from Taehyung's as he reached forward to glide his fingers along Taehyung's forehead and brush his raven hair out of his eyes.
