"Stop! Please stop!" Taehyung screamed in his sleep.

Jungkook, who was sleeping at the edge of the bed, woke up from his screams.

"Tae, tae, wake up! It's just a dream." Jungkook said, trying to hug Taehyung and calm him down as the latter was tossing and turning.

"No, please! It hurts!!! Stop!!!"

"Taehyung, hey, Tae. Please wake up!" Jungkook said, raising his voice.

Taehyung's eyes opened and he looked at Jungkook wide-eyed.

"Tae, it's me Jungkook. It was just a bad dream. You're safe now." Jungkook softly said as he cupped Taehyung's cheek.

"He will come for me, Jungkook. He will find me and hurt me again." Taehyung said as tears continuously fell on his cheeks.

"I will never let him near you, Tae. He can never touch you again as long as I'm around." Jungkook said, hugging Taehyung, careful not to touch the wounds on his back. The younger clutched on Jungkook's arm, trembling.

"Please don't leave me, Jk." Taehyung pleaded.

"I'm not going anywhere. You go back to sleep now, okay? You need to rest." Jungkook said.

"My back hurts."

"Do you want some pain killers? Though, you have to eat something first. You think you can eat? Belle prepared soup for you earlier. I can heat it if you want."

"It's okay. You don't have to heat it. I'll just have some."

"Okay. Sit tight. I'll get it." Jungkook stood up and walked to the table where Belle placed their food. He took the bowl of soup and poured some in a mug so Taehyung won't have to use utensils for it. He went back and sat beside the younger.

"Here."

"Thank you." Taehyung said and Jungkook just smiled at him.

"By the way, Belle left some clothes and toiletries for us, let me know if you want to change." Jungkook said and Taehyung looked at the clothes he's wearing and saw his blood stained shorts.

Jungkook saw where Taehyung was looking at and how the latter started trembling as his hold on the cup was becoming unsteady.

"Tae, look at me." Taehyung looked up at Jungkook with tears in his eyes.

"Try not to think about what happened. I'll help you change into fresh clothes after you finish your soup and after you take the pain killers, okay?"

Taehyung nodded. He finished the soup so Jungkook handed him a glass of water and the pills.

"Can you walk to the bathroom or do you need me to carry you?" Jungkook asked.

"I don't think I can walk. I'm sorry for being a burden."

"Tae, you're not a burden. Come on, hop on my back."
