Contractually Marriage ✓ᵗᵏ

Chapter 22 ✓

|23.| Make my hand warm

<•••>

    The playful rays of the sun enters his room without fear, forcing him to slowly open his eyes. His throat feels a little dry, but much better than last night. He feels his forehead wet and then realizes that he has a rag on it. He doesn't realize at the moment what happened last night or when he fell asleep, but after seeing Jungkook next to him, kneeling and sleeping, he remembers how he took care of him.

    Taehyung smiles, looking at the boy next to him. Jungkook will surely wake up with a sore throat because it is easy to see that he did not sleep comfortably. The CEO wants to wake him up, but stops just to admire him for a few more moments. 

    His long black eyelashes rest at the same time as his fine white eyelids. He keeps his right hand under his little nose, and Taehyung can see how his cute bunny teeth are noticeable. His black hair is even longer than before and a few strands are above the right eye. He truly looks like an angel, and Taehyung cannot lie about this anymore. 

     The CEO gets up slowly, trying not to wake the bunny boy, then puts the rag from his forehead, on the bed. When he gets to his feet he feels a slight dizziness, but it is not as bad as yesterday. Jungkook took great care of him last night, and even though he believes Taehyung had been asleep for some time, the CEO pretended to be for a while. And while the bunny boy thought Taehyung was asleep, he changed the rag a lot on his forehead with cold water, and slowly hummed some cute songs. And Taehyung was truly at another level of purely happiness, someting new and weird at the same time. He didn't feel like this even when he was with Beomgyu.

       "Kook, wake up." Taehyung whispers softly then kneels in next to him.

     He gives away the hair from his face with his fingers gently, and refrains from laughing at his far too changeable attitude. He is really a bipolar shit.

      Only a few days ago, he used to yell and intentionally hurt Jungkook even if he knew it's wrong. But he did it because he thought it was the only way he could maintain a certain boundary between the two of them. He did it because he was angry because of all this fake marriage, but later he realized that he had made too many mistakes.

      He realized that he was too harsh and bad with Jungkook and that he shouldn't have behaved like that. But he kept being silent. Why? He felt his pride above guilt. But that was until a certain point, that was until he really started to discover Jungkook. And he realized after, that Yoongi was right: he was not irritated just by this fake marriage, but he was simply scared that he would start holding on to Jungkook more than he should and that he would be hurt again. But life without risks is like spring without rain. And Taehyung is tired of shunning the drops of love or hiding under an umbrella.

      "Jungkook, you can sleep again, but first get up from the floor." Taehyung comments again near to the younger one's face and gently touches his hair.

     When Jungkook yawns cutely then slowly opens his eyes, the older freeze, while the time seems to stop. The bunny boy's doll eyes glance more than just in his green eyes, they glance in his soul, giving him some warm and sweet butterflies.  Their faces are pretty close to each other, and Taehyung has to withdraw because looking at the other's lips gives him ideas. And he can't kiss him now. At least not until he is convinced with his own feelings or until he talks with the bunny boy about this.

      "Oh, you are awake?" Jungkook asks as he gets up at his turn, then he touches his back a little, feeling a little sore.

      "You shouldn't have been here all night, especially sleeping on your knees. "Taehyung scoldes him and then Jungkook places his right palm on his forehead.
 
      "Oh, thank God, you don't have a fever anymore.  From now on you must take more care of yourself." the younger one comments in a serious voice, as the other one rolls his eyes and sighs.
