Baby Mate [Taekook] ✓

Chapter 21

"Hmm..."

Taehyung scrunched his face when a ray of sunlight hits his face. He moved a little, stopping his movement right away when he felt a weight on his chest.

Opening his eyes, he saw Jungkook laying on his chest, sleeping peacefully.

"Cute..." He muttered as he stared at Jungkook's pouty lips.

He ruffled Jungkook's hair, brushing them back. When his fingers came contact with Jungkook's forehead, he frowned. He placed his whole palm on Jungkook's forehead, frown getting deeper and deeper when he realized how hot it is.

Taehyung carefully sits up from the bed, taking the baby who's having high fever in his arms gently.

He stood up, carrying Jungkook in his arms as he walked out of the room to search for Doctor Wang.

... < * > ...

"It's just a fever, your majesty. No biggie, but his highness needs a good rest. Remember to let him take the medicine for further recovery." Doctor Wang said with a smile on his face and Taehyung just hummed in reply.

"Okay. I got it. You can leave now." Taehyung said and Doctor Wang just bowed, walking out of the room.

Taehyung stared at his mate, got alerted when Jungkook started to stir in his sleep.

"T-Taetae..." Jungkook softly called out, opening his eyes a little.

"Awake now? Feeling okay?" Taehyung asked, stroking Jungkook's fluffy hair with his hands.

The boy pouted, shaking his head slowly, "N-Not okay..."

Taehyung lightly flicked Jungkook's forehead, scolding him softly, "Told you it's not a good idea to play in the rain. Treat sickness as birthday present, well I didn't get my present, you stole my present now."

"I-Its fun..." Jungkook muttered with his lips puckered up. He looks so cute right now. Soft looking, faint blush decorated on his skin, cheeks flushed red and his eyes are glossy.

Taehyung sighed in defeat, hugging the little human heater with his arms, "Right now it's not fun at all. You got fever and I bet you certainly don't feel good."

"M-Maybe next time we can take umbrella-" "No more next time, pup. I can't stand watching you get sick." Taehyung cut off Jungkook's thought, making the boy sulk even more.

"Umbrella i-is cute..." Jungkook muttered.

Taehyung chuckled, "That's not the point, baby. Why umbrella is cute huh?"

"B-Because..." Jungkook tried to think of a reason out of his messy brain and he failed, "I-I don't know why..."

Taehyung let out a laugh, throwing his head back at the boy's cuteness. "Alright alright, you need to eat something before taking-" "Taking what?"

"Medicine."

-------------------------------------------------

"I-I don't want the medicine..." Tears constantly slipped out of Jungkook's eyes as he stared at the pill that Taehyung holding now.

In Jungkook's eyes, that pill is nothing but a scary big meanie.

"Be a good baby, pup. Swallow it and everything will be okay." Taehyung said, patting Jungkook's back with his hand.

"N-No..." Jungkook shook his head, "I'll die..."

Taehyung doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry in frustration. "No you won't die baby. But you'll die if you didn't eat it."

Jungkook sniffled, "I will die... The pill is too big. I'll choke on it before swallowing it."

Taehyung sighed, "You won't, baby."

Jungkook pouted, backing away, tugging his head down.

"If you don't take this pill, I will feed you by myself." Taehyung stated, "Using my mouth to feed by the way."

Jungkook shrieked, "How can you feed with mouth? Can you show me Taetae?"

Well, Taehyung didn't expect Jungkook to react like this.

He smirked, "Sure. I would glad to do so."
