DADA [Taekook]

13. Coming Out To Hyungs

The boys were up until 2 AM, talking about various things from the past to the present life. Soon the tiredness took over their eyes and they drifted to deep sleep, and Taehyung walked to the other room, which although wasn't as clean and lively as Jungkook's, he could spend one night easily over there.

Jungkook hadn't said a word about him against sleeping in their room, but Taehyung knew better than waiting for him to say something. He didn't want to step on the boundaries even if they weren't spoken out loud and clear. He acknowledged the importance of space and boundaries better than before.

Next morning
Jungkook POV

I was sleeping with Jungsun, cuddling him as he pressed his little body against my chest. Then I heard the door creaking open and close slowly, but my mind was too groggy to look up and see who was there.

I heard footsteps coming closer to the bed and then I felt my arm being lifted up from Jungsun. At that moment, I forced my body to raise from the bed and my unfocused eyes fell on the man sitting at the edge of the bed near my baby.

"Taehyung, what are you doing here?" I mumbled, rubbing my eyes rather calmly.

"Hey, I'm sorry to wake you up this early. I was here to check on Jungsun if he needed any other medication before I leave for the clinic" he said in a low voice.

"Yeah okay, sure" I leaned my back against the headboard to sit straight, then settling Jungsun in my lap carefully, making sure he doesn't wake up.

"Did he wake up at night?" He asked, opening the thermometer case and scooting closer to the sleeping kid.

"Nope, he was fine" I yawned like I could sleep for another ten hours or so. Taehyung placed the thermometer under his armpit, to which Jungsun whined but I was quick to cradle him back to sleep.

"99° F" he announced, and went to the washroom to clean the thermometer.

I sighed in relief. Jungsun's fragile health used to keep me on my toes all the time, so I was happy to see him recovering well.

"We're gonna continue the same medications for the next 3 days" Taehyung said as he opened the drawer of my bedside table to keep the thermometer.

With a sweet kiss on Jungsun's forehead, he said to me, "Call me if you need anything, okay? I'm going to clinic now. See you in the evening."

I hummed and waved at him with a smile. He smiled back, stroking my face and walked out of the room, closing the door behind us.

The silence around me felt comforting, only interrupted by Jungsun's soft snores. Gradually, I leaned my head against the headboard, smiling like an idiot at the last night's conversation.

Taehyung's experience sounded so different from what I had felt that day. I chuckled to myself, the memory of that stressful day now seemed funny to me.

Flashback
Jungkook POV

"Who told you to bring Jungsun here?" I asked Jin hyung in a pissed tone, and opened the car door and sat in the passanger seat with Jungsun in my arms, who was about to sleep at any moment.

"Why? You wanted me to come to your hospital that's nearly double the distance from here and let the kid cry his heart out in pain for that long?" He huffed in disbelief, starting the engine to drive back home.
