Chapter Ten 🔥

                                        "To live, to TRULY live, we must be willing to RISK.
                                         To be nothing in order to find everything."
                                         ― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love and a Dash of Sass

About an hour after they had left the hospital, Taehyung was able to switch the saline infusion with an actual blood transfusion and Hoseok's skin slowly returned to a pinkish colour.

"He looks much better," Jin whispered to Taehyung who was checking the patient.

"Yeah, we did the transfusion just in time," Taehyung replied softly and exhaled. He saw Jungkook standing in the doorway to the patient's room. "Hoseok-ssi needs some rest and will be as good as new," he explained to Jungkook who nodded then Tae turned to Jin. "I'll take the first shift."

Jin's gaze went from Jungkook to Taehyung and back then he smirked.

"Well, I will be getting some sleep, call me if something comes up."

"I will, hyung," Taehyung replied, busy with the transfusion and the IV stand.

Silence spread between Jungkook and Taehyung and for a moment Tae was certain Jungkook would also leave so he was surprised when Jungkook came over to him, looking down on Hoseok's sleeping form.

"Will he really be okay?" Jungkook asked, his hand resting on Hoseok's blanketed knee.

Taehyung nodded, watching Jungkook. Jin had told him that Jungkook cared about every one of his people. He had seen it with Ju-won and now with Hoseok, as well.

"He will be as good as new, once he has slept off the anaesthesia, so don't worry. I'll be in the next room and observe him from there. Let's leave him."

"Sure," Jungkook agreed and after another look towards the still, sleeping form on the bed, he followed Taehyung to the main infirmary room. Someone, probably Jin, had provided some snacks and hot drinks that he had placed on the low table in front of a sofa in the waiting area. After Taehyung had listed down the latest data into Hoseok's file, he turned towards the sofa.

"You see I will be quite comfortable here, so you can go upstairs now," Tae said. He felt weird after their last encounter, after that kiss and he wanted to be alone. Adrenaline was still rushing through his system, like a belated drug and he felt as if his skin was just too tight for his body frame.

Jungkook observed Taehyung for the longest time and when their gazes met, they took a step towards each other unconsciously, as if their bodies were two magnets that gravitated towards one another.

Looking at Taehyung's beautiful dark chocolate eyes, Jungkook's fingers itched to touch him. Touch that face that had fascinated and captured him all these months ago. That face and those eyes that were a direct mirror into Taehyung's soul, pure, untainted. A soul his own soul craved and wanted no he needed him.

"Tae ..." he whispered and his hand reached out, twitching to touch Tae's arm, they stood as close together to feel each other's breath. Their breathing hitched and it took them both only half a step before their arms reached each other's neck, where lips touched lips.

Taehyung groaned when he felt Jungkook's strong arms around his waist, Tae bit Jungkook's lips lightly, when he felt Jungkook's thumbs caressing his hip bones and drawing him closer towards Jungkook until crotch pressed against crotch and Tae found himself wanting. He wanted this, he wanted Jungkook and his hands snaked down towards his ass and squeezed.
