Care

ꪀ° 5: I'm sorry

You and Taehyung sit together during gym, watching the boys play badminton.

"Wish I could walk already.. it's been forever and I still can't walk correctly." He sighs.

"You're getting so much better.. don't rush it.."

He sighs, "you don't have to lie to me.." he tilts his head to the side as if he's sleeping, "I miss playing with them. It'd always be so competitive.."

You stand up from the bleacher and start to wheel him away.

"Where're you taking me?" He asks, looking around the gym.

"Somewhere." You walk past the racks that hold the badminton rackets and grab 2, grabbing a birdy too.

He chuckles when you put it in his lap, "really? How on earth are you going to play with me?"

You wheel him to the furthest net, far from his friends and put him in the middle of the quart on one side. You grab one racket and run to the other side, shouting, "OKAY, Play me!!" You laugh, wondering how this would work out.

"Will you be able to get it though?" He shouts back.

"Will YOU be able to get it though?" You yell, the both of you laughing together.

He shakes his head in amusement, "alright, I'll do my best." He throws it in the air and hits it toward you.

You run for it and hit it toward him again but it doesn't go directly toward him. He tries to wheel himself toward it to the left but it was useless, he was too slow. He just continues laughing, face palming, "this is ridiculous."

"C'mon babe! Get it!" You chuckle, running to his side of the court to grab it.

"Yeah– sure, I'll just WHEEL myself to victory."

"Yeah!! Of course." You grin, running back over to your side.... "Okay, imma hit RIGHT at you," you serve the birdy lower handing it.

He hits it back toward you, a bit too excited when he got it, he couldn't stop grinning. You hit it back toward him when it came back to you but he couldn't get it. He tried to wheel himself toward the birdy again... "ahhh, it's useless," he sighs.

"Hey," Jimin says, walking up to you.

"Can we join?" Jaebum smiles at Taehyung.

You grin even harder when you see Taehyung's genuine smile, "sure." Tae replies.

Jimin smiles at you, standing nearby you when the friends join.

Jimin and Mark joins your side while Jaebum and Jackson join Taehyung's side.

The round restarts, as everyone gets in their positions.

It's usually just a 1v1 or 2v2 but you and Taehyung don't really count, you just wanted to have fun, you wanted Taehyung to have fun.

The 6 of you play together, even having callouts. Most of the time they tried to let you and Taehyung get the hit because it was exciting for you guys.

"Aww," Everyone goes when Taehyung couldn't hit it, "it's okay!" Jackson quickly says, picking up the birdy to hit it toward the opposite team.

Throughout the rounds, Taehyung's never had so much fun in a wheelchair before. He was thankful for you and your funny idea, it got his friends to play with him again and from now on, every time it's a badminton day, they'd play like this.

The most upsetting thing for Tae was that, this was his last year in high school, and he had to spend it in a wheelchair. But the most exciting thing for him was, spending it with you everyday. And now... spending every night fucking you.
