Crush - Taekook

Chapter - 15

Taehyung woke up to the sound of a soft and steady beeping. He still felt groggy and he knew without moving them that his arms were sore (he should probably start going to the gym, he thought).

Jungkook.

Taehyung immediately opened his eyes. Early morning light was coming through the window of his hospital room. He instantly recognised it as his college infirmary. The only sound he heard was the gentle beeping of the machinery monitoring his heartbeat and blood pressure and a man talking quietly outside his door.

"Hello?" Taehyung croaked, immediately starting to cough heavily. Once he opened his tearing eyes again, he saw that the man was his friend, extremely handsome doctor ,wearing a doctor coat had quietly entered his room to check on him.

"The hero is awake then?" Jin asked, checking his vitals on the screen. Jin was Taehyung's close friend but not as close as Jimin. They used to hangout so much before the university started to kick his ass.

"Hero?" Taehyung had trouble recalling what had happened. Jungkook. The fire. Heat. Dragging the younger through the wooden shelves which he loved through out his college years. "I couldn't just leave him!"

"It was very reckless of you to go in alone", he chided, but couldn't help smiling. "But you did save his life. The doctor says he's going to be fine."

He would be fine. That was music in Taehyungs' ears.

"I want to see him. Now."

Jin shook hid head slowly. "I know you are worried about your boyfriend, Taehyung, but you must not strain yourself. You exhausted yourself and you breathed quite much of a smoke - which had been much worse if you hadn't thought of that scarf. Clever boy." he smiled once more.

Taehyung wasn't really listening - the word 'boyfriend' had caught his attention. "Hyung, How do you.."

Jin interrupted. "You kept saying his name while you were out, and he said yours quite a few times, too. Even if you didn't tell your Hyung about it I figured that much." he sighed. "Young love is just so adorable."

Huh.

Love.

Taehyung would think about that later. At that moment, all that was important was that he Wants to see Jungkook with his own eyes. He had to see that he was all right. He HAD to. And the boyfriend-thing would probably help him to get to him. He put on his best hurt-puppy expression. "But I need to see him. Please. I have to see with my own eyes that he is fine Hyung please?" He batted his eyelashes for extra effect at him, who was visibly melting.

"I don't know, Taehyung, it wouldn't be good for you -" Taehyung hurriedly interrupted him.

"Jin Hyung, I literally dragged my boyfriend" - he loved using that word and his inner brain whispered 'pathetic' at him but he rudley pushed the thought away - "out of a burning building. Believe me when I say that the best thing for my health would be to see him. Right now."

Jin looked at him for a full minute, thinking. Taehyung sat up straighter even though his whole body hurt, but he had to show him that he was not weak. He was fine. All he needed was to see is Jungkook for fucks sake.

"If I'm going to take you, and I said IF", Jin said, holding up his hand, Successfully interrupting his delighted squeal mid way "we're going to do this my way. You'll be sitting in a wheelchair and you have only ten minutes to see him."

Taehyung contemplated that. The wheelchair was kind of lame - it was ridiculous, he didn't need a wheelchair, he wasn't eighty or a patient who can't walk! - but this offer was probably his best chanceti see him and he can't Convince Jin once he fixed on something "Done", he sighed.

Jin smiled. "Wait here then. Don't move."

Taehyung spent the next minute it took Jin to get a wheelchair drumming his hands on his thighs with the inner desire to see the younger eating him alive for every passing second. Jin insisted on helping taehyung getting out of bed.

Taehyung swallowed a bit at the sight of the nightgown he was wearing, but Jungkook would be in one, too, and he was probably would not even be in conscious.

God he wants to him now.

Once he was seated, the short journey to Jungkookt's room (which was literally next door) began. "I could have walked that far you know", Taehyung complained, whispering, as Jin stopped to open the door. "You could have, but It's not good for your sore body. So Stop complaining or I could just turn the wheel and you can see your pretty boyfriend when you get discharged", he said stoping the wheel chair.

Taehyung hurriedly shook his head " NO, I'm sorry I won't speak a word from now on, pleasee don't do that" he nearly screamed and was ready to get on his knees if he needs to. Surpressing his laughter Jin steering him into the room.

Jungkook's room was a mirrored version of Taehyung's. Jungkook was tucked under blankets, his eyes closed. He looked pale and the wound on his hairline had been stitched up, but he seemed peaceful. Jin settled the wheelchair next to the bed and whispered, "I'll leave you two. Remember - ten minutes."

he quietly left the room and closed the door behind him.
