🔞 Chapter 14: Within My Reach

This chapter has light smut, but I went ahead and marked it.

As Jungkook recovers, the rest of the family constantly comes into the apartment to check on him. There is never a moment where there wasn't at least one of the other family members visiting. Every evening, the whole family has dinner together. Jungkook loves watching Jin telling everyone what to do because he's the one who runs this family.

"How are you feeling today?" Namjoon asks Jungkook when he walks into the room.

"I feel good. I can definitely walk around, but Taehyung will kill me if I do." Jungkook chuckles and looks into the dining area as Taehyung runs around with Jimin.

"Do you want to go out there?" Namjoon asks when he sees Jungkook looking into the dining area of the apartment.

"Yeah." Jungkook sighs and resigns to staying in bed.

"Come on." Namjoon smiles and helps him stand up.

If Jungkook was still living alone, he would already be fighting again, but no one in the family is even allowing him to walk around. They all saw the gruesome wounds, so it has become a family effort to make sure Jungkook heals before he moves around very much.

When Namjoon and Jungkook walk into the room together, the rest of the family instantly crowds around and helps Jungkook to the couch. Jungkook chuckles as he watches Taehyung's tail nervously twitch as they set Jungkook on the couch. 

While they are making him comfortable, Jungkook's phone rings, so Taehyung goes and looks at it. When Taehyung sees who the caller is, he answers it.

"Hello?"

"Uh who is this?" The man on the other line asks.

"I recognize your voice. You're the one who called Jungkook to fight the last fight. What the fuck do you want?" Taehyung hisses when he realizes who the caller is.

"You must be the new mate. Tell Jungkook he has a fight tomorrow night."

"Uh no he doesn't." Taehyung scoffs and rolls his eyes.

"It's another big fight, so he needs to be here." The man on the other line tells Taehyung in an annoyed voice.

"I don't think so. He's not going. Don't you have any other fighters?" Taehyung answers in just as much annoyance.

"Listen little fox, he will fight tomorrow night."

"Listen you piece of shit! Jungkook is not fighting tomorrow night! He is not fighting until he is healed! Find another person who isn't injured to take this fight! I don't give a shit if your fucking boss wants Jungkook to do this fight, he's not going to do it! So good fucking bye! Go fuck yourself!!!" Taehyung yells and hisses then hangs up.

When Taehyung turns around, everyone's staring at him in shock.

"I uh hehe ..." Taehyung looks at them shyly.

None of them have ever heard a single curse word pass those beautiful lips. Taehyung looks around with his tail nervously twitching. Jungkook carefully gets up and walks over to his flustered mate then takes him in his arms.

"It's ok, Pup." Jungkook calms Taehyung down and gently rubs his ears.

"You can't fight yet." Taehyung mumbles and hugs Jungkook.

"I won't fight until my doctor tells me I can, and my mate agrees." Jungkook smiles and kisses Taehyung.

"Thank you, Kook." Taehyung sighs in relief and kisses Jungkook.

"Ok, so we will hide behind Taehyung and Jungkook." Jimin whispers as he recovers from hearing Taehyung tear into the person on the phone.

"Remind me to not ask Jungkook to do anything without Taehyung's permission." Hoseok whispers in response.
