33. aching heart

He strode inside the room, jogging to you and saw your terrible state. His heart started aching at sight of your pitiful figure, Your face pale, your breathing was shallow and you were shivering in cold.

"Yn" he called, reaching out for your forehead.

His knuckles touched your forehead checking your temperature and his eyes widen while you slowly opened your red puffy eyes as you felt Taehyung presence

"How can you be so careless" he shouted, his eyes filled with worry.

"I am okay" you said mildly blinking your eyes. You didn't even have energy to moved a little.

"You are not so just shut up"
He shouted switching off the AC with remote and wrapped your body with blanket, his motion was so fast yet so gentle.

"Get a bowl of icy water and a towel" he ordered to seulgi, who was standing at the doorway staring at you and Taehyung with terrified eyes.

Taehyung walked to the drawer and came with the first box in his hand. He hurriedly took out the thermometer from the box sitting beside your sleeping figure and placed it in your mouth. His eyes were impatient as he waited for thermometer to beep.

After a minute, the thermometer beep and he fastly took it out in his hand. His eyebrow knitted as he checked the temperature. He averted his eyes to your pitiful figure, gritting his teeth as your body temperature was showing 103°F. You listened taehyung heavy breathing with a sighed and you slowly turned your straight head in Taehyung's direction. Your eyelids were dropping time to time which you were trying so hard to maintain while seulgi walked inside the room and kept the bowl on the bed cabinet. Taehyung grabbed the towel from her hand and again ordered her to come with dinner.

Taehyung dipped the cloth in cold water and placed it on your forehead. He gently compressed it whereas his stressed eyes fixed at your pale face while you closed your eyes sucking in a cold breath.

He did it again and again, dipping the towel in water and compressing it on your forehead and after few minutes you opened your eyes, feeling a little better. You moved your faintly eyes to Taehyung and you felt like forgetting all the pain of your body as your eyes got stuck at him, who was so busy taking care of you. Your head and eyes filled with nothing but the sight of this man's silent, icy face and his careful meticulous movements.

In these 4 years did anyone ever genuinely asked you how you were...........No

You really have forgotten, how it feel when someone take care of you and when someone get worried, seeing you in pain and here this person whom you have hurted the most, only given him pain, was always there for you since the weeding. The same Taehyung who couldn't see a single scratch in your skin.

Your eyes Welled up with so many emotions and a teardrop wordlessly slipped out from the corner your eyes.

"Is it aching too much?" Taehyung asked pressing the towel on your forehead as he saw the tears in your eyes while You steadily shook your head. He wiped your tears and you inhaled a deep breath. Intentionally or unintentionally but in the process of healing your physical pain, he didn't even know how much he have healed your mental and emotional pain.

he rested the towel in the bowl and reached to your waist. He slowly pulled your body up and rest your back on the headboard supporting with a pillow.
He took the food plate in his hand and took a spoon full of rice porridge near your mouth and you slowly intake the food. Even your feverish body couldn't control but to beat faster because of this man.
