Arkansas II

Hello, my loves~♡ I apologize for the long time you all waited for an update.😔 I have been struggling with myself about whether to continue writing or not due to feeling a lack of skill but someone (OMGwhhhyy) helped me realize that I was just being anxious. I don't think my writing style is the absolute greatest but it's better than I give myself credit for most days. No excuse can justify my leaving this story on an unannounced hiatus for so long but I feel I can continue now without another delay later on down the road.🥰 I realize now that I was harshly judging my abilities more than normal and I could not tell you why. Although I hope that you all will continue to support this story, I understand if you do not wish to continue~♡ Either way, I love you all so much and I am so very grateful that you all have stuck with me thus far~♡ Thank you all so very much, my loves~♡ Now for the warning, there is mention of sexual content so please be advised when reading, my darlings~♡ I love you so so so much and I hope that you'll enjoy this new installment~♡♡♡

The next morning, Taehyung woke up sandwiched between Jungkook and Hoseok. He blinked groggily, wondering why Hoseok was in bed with Jungkook and himself until he remembered what happened the night before. Taehyung remembered being wrapped up in Hoseok's arms while he apologized over and over, making everybody else feel guilty. Taehyung even felt guilty for being afflicted with an illness that was difficult to overcome when Hoseok refused to let go of Taehyung. He remembered Jungkook offering Hoseok to stay with them for the night since he was so distraught and Yoongi had no argument either.

Taehyung shifted languidly into a sitting position, Jungkook stirring from Taehyung's deliberate movements. "Good morning, love," Jungkook whispered quietly out of respect for the sleeping Hoseok. "Good morning, my darling," Taehyung greeted back softly, kissing Jungkook's lips tenderly. Jungkook peeked over at Hoseok sleeping soundly with his arms still wrapped firmly around Taehyung's waist. "You know, I'm a little jealous he got to sleep with his arms wrapped around you all night," Jungkook noted playfully, earning another tender kiss on his lips from Taehyung. They both chuckled softly as Jungkook glanced over toward the window with a soft sigh. "Does this mean they'll be joining us on our excursions from now on?" Jungkook asked softly, more serious now as he turned toward Taehyung with an empathetic smile. Taehyung shook his head, kissing Jungkook's lips once more with a loving smile. "We can sneak away, put our phones on silence, and spend the day with just you and me," Taehyung stated slyly, sneaking his pillow between his hip and Hoseok's arms already.

Jungkook laughed softly and nodded his head vigorously, climbing out of the bed first to allow Taehyung room to move next. Taehyung shoved the pillow hard against Hoseok, shifting his weight hastily and freeing himself from the latter's arms as he wrapped them tightly around the pillow. Taehyung and Jungkook hastily threw on some decent clothes and left the hotel room before Hoseok could wake up and realize they'd switched Taehyung for a pillow.

Although Taehyung was already feeling exhausted from rushing around to get dressed quickly, they dashed down the hallway to ensure they could completely escape without anyone following. Once they were outside the hotel building and inside a taxi, Taehyung collapsed breathlessly against Jungkook's shoulder. "Was that too much for you, love?" Jungkook asked out of concern, biting his lip as Taehyung inhaled and exhaled deeply to catch his breath. "No. I'll be fine," Taehyung answered softly, offering a peaceful smile- his eyes closed as he drifted off to sleep on Jungkook's shoulder. Jungkook smiled softly at the peaceful smile that still graced Taehyung's lips as he caressed Taehyung's sunken face tenderly until an intense and sharp pain up Taehyung's left side jolted him awake. For a split second, Taehyung glanced about himself in confusion until he realized they snuck off to be alone together. Jungkook stared at Taehyung wide-eyed for a moment before tenderly touching Taehyung's forehead. "You're sweating profusely, love. Are you sure running like that wasn't too hard on your body right now?" Jungkook asked out of concern, checking Taehyung's temperature as well to realize he was burning up. "We may have to turn back, Tae," Jungkook noted softly, earning a soft sigh from Taehyung before he shook his head. "N- No, I'm certain we can find something that won't be too extraneous on my body," Taehyung reasoned softly, recognizing the look of guilt and sorrow in Jungkook's eyes. "I can rest now and whenever I feel too tired where we go," Taehyung added hastily, realizing he didn't want to be the reason for Jungkook to look so miserable and remorseful. He didn't want to inspire those kinds of feelings in the only person he'd ever loved this extensively.
