Kim Taehyung one shots

One of those days

Seri is getting ready for work while Taehyung is laying down on bed, looking at her steadily, just watching her move around the room.
"You are looking beautiful today." Taehyung complements her, unable to take his eyes off her.
Seri looks up at his reflection in the mirror and just gives a small smile in reply and gets back to braiding her hair.
Taehyung frowns at her reaction. This smile was so half hearted. He gets worried because she usually doesn't respond like that to complements. And she has been silently getting work done since morning without talking much.

He gets up from the bed and walks towards her, encircling his arms around her from the back and places his chin on her shoulder. She ruffles his hair playfully at this adorable gesture.
"You okay?" He asks concerned, looking at her through mirror.
Seri again nods her head and replies with a simple, "Yeah." Taehyung is more confused now but he just lets it slide for a moment. He goes to washroom to freshen up, not wanting to pester her.

When he comes out, Seri is picking up all her stuff, she slings one backpack on her shoulder and picks up her handbag too. She turns around to see that Taehyung is standing there.
She gives him a big smile and hugs him with her free hand. She places a kiss on his cheek and then rubs it off with her thumb, and says, "I'm leaving. Aunty will make your breakfast. Call me whenever you get time in between, yeah?"
Taehyung nods his head in response. "Take care of yourself, okay? And please have lunch on time." Taehyung implores as he follows her downstairs towards the main door.
Seri finishes tying up her shoes and looks up at his face, smiling at his concern, "I will. Don't worry." She gets up and hugs him one last time. "I'll see you tonight. Lemme know later when you'll get free." She rubs the back of his neck, looking at his face, a small smile on her lips.
"Yeah."
Satisfied by his response, she finally turns around to leave.
"I love you." She calls out before stepping out.
"I love you more." Taehyung whispers softly and releases a sigh.
He was probably worried for no reason. She seemed absolutely fine just now. Her mind must have been somewhere else back then.
Taehyung dismisses the whole idea and proceeds to go about his own day.

Taehyung comes back home only to find all the lights turned off. He turns on the light of the corridor leading up to the living room. The only light in living room is coming from the TV which is on.
His gaze turns towards the couch. There is Seri lying down on the couch, curled up into the smallest fetus like position, facing away from the TV.
Taehyung walks barefeet quietly upto her so as to not break her sleep. As soon as he reaches the couch, he realises that soft sobs are coming from her direction. He gets worried on hearing her crying. He softly touches her hair but that simple action makes her jump slightly as she hadn't registered him entering home. Immediately she wipes her eyes and turns slightly so as to face him. She sees Taehyung crouching down in front of her, worry so clearly etched on his face. She gives him a smile, "You're home. Sorry, I didn't realise."
Taehyung dismisses her statement and instead cups her face in both his hands, "What's wrong? Why were you crying? And why are you lying curled up like this?"
Seri lets out a chuckle on hearing his string of questions. "Don't worry. It's just period cramps."
This doesn't relax Taehyung. He knows that she has terrible period cramps sometimes and it is during those times only when she cries like this. It feels horrible that he cannot do anything to help alleviate the pain, so with time he has tried to make a list of things that he can help with, which might help her even if in the slightest. She just has to ride through the pain usually and hope that it dissolves quickly.

He wipes her tears away from her face and pulls a blanket over her. "I'll heat up the water for hot water bottle. Have you taken medicine?"
Seri shakes her head. "I didn't have strength to get up to even take the medicine."
"I'll get you one. Which one do you need?"
Seri tells him the name of the medicine.
"Where is your handbag?" He asks her. She mouths "bedroom".
He brings the medicine, gives her a glass of water and helps her sit up to take it.
"Did you eat anything in the hospital?" Taehyung asks her.
Seri again shakes her head. "I really didn't feel like having anything." She brings her knees up  to her chest and quite literally folds herself in half once again to put pressure on her lower tummy.
"Don't tell me Seri that you went whole day without eating." Taehyung frowns at her answer, slightly angry that she'd be this careless.
"It really was feeling weird in my tummy. I didn't feel like I could eat anything." Seri looks down apologetically.
Taehyung turns towards kitchen while speaking sternly, "I'm making you toast with warm milk. You have to finish it. No excuses."
Seri knows when to not argue with Taehyung. He is usually an understanding person but they are a few times when his voice turns really firm when you automatically realise that the conversation is no longer up for discussion.
