it was already past noon but jeongguk is still awake and playing games on his computer while taehyung is already in deep sleep inside the guest room which is now his room.

jeongguk is no longer live streaming. he's just playing a game now since he doesn't feel tired yet.

but suddenly, he heard sobs outside his room and soft knocks can be heard on the door. fortunately, the sounds in jeongguk's headphones aren't that loud so he managed to hear the sobs and knocks.

"taehyung?" he asked, putting his headphones down as he stood up and went to the door, not even minding about getting killed in the game.

jeongguk opened the door and was met with taehyung sobbing in front of him. "m-mas- j-jeonggukie.."

"hey, what's wrong? why are you crying?"

"i-it's hurting again.." taehyung sobbed more and gripped the shirt that he's wearing.

the ravenette frowned and gently pulled the boy inside his room to close the door. "is it more painful than before?"

"m-mhm." taehyung answered, still sobbing.

jeongguk made the boy sit on his bed then takes a look of the device on taehyung's back. "shit. it's like it's burning your skin."

"i-i want it gone already. h-hurts!" taehyung cried even more.

the older sighed and sat beside him. "we can't just remove it that easily. it will explode."

taehyung listened to his words, still crying. the pain is unbearable and much painful now since daehoon found out about what happened. so now, he's punishing two of his dolls from afar.

"c-can't take it a-anymore jeonggukie.. c-can't-"

"shh. just close your eyes." jeongguk interrupted the boy with a warm hug, remembering what seokjin told him before.

"if taehyung felt pain again because of the device, give him this." seokjin said, placing a bottle in jeongguk's hands.

"it's a powdered medicine that i secretly used to make before to help those poor boys that are experiencing huge pain from the device. it's been a while since i last made one. i just hope that it will work on taehyung." he added.

"mix it with any drinks then make him drink it."

"oh, thanks." jeongguk said, staring at the bottle.

"no worries. also," seokjin gave him a serious look. "a warm hug will help a lot."

jeongguk's eyes widened. "what-"

"are you allergic to skinships or something?" seokjin rolled his eyes. "just give him one. taehyung really loves warm hugs. or, just cuddle him."

"will a warm milk help? want me to make you one?"

taehyung nodded softly, only soft sniffles can be heard now. "milk.."

"a warm milk then. wait for me here, yeah?" jeongguk slowly lets go of the boy and gave him a pillow to hug. "don't lay down, it might hurt more. i'll be quick so just wait for me." he added then stood up, heading downstairs.

taehyung pouted and hugged the pillow tightly, waiting patiently while staring at the door.

jeongguk's room is really beautiful and smells so nice as well. also, the bed is spacious and soft with pillows on top of it.

the brunette turned his attention to the computer, seeing a game on the screen.

"he must be busy playing, but i came and disturbed him." he mumbled with a pout.

it didn't take long for jeongguk to make the milk and he's now on his way back upstairs to his room. he also didn't forget about what seokjin told him about the medicine.

jeongguk opened the door of the room and went inside. he saw that taehyung is still on the same spot and staring at him.

"here." he said and went to the boy then placed the mug on the table near the bed. "it's still a little hot so just wait for a bit, yeah?"

"mhm. t-thank you." taehyung replied.

jeongguk gave him a smile, sitting down beside him. "no worries. how are you feeling now though?"

"it still hurts," taehyung pouted and looks down. "b-but, i wanna ask something if it's okay."

"what is it?"

taehyung looks at jeongguk shyly with eyes full of hope.

"can i w-watch you play p-please..?"
