Sweet Miracle

"Oh? What's this?"

Jungkook chuckled when he was greeted with bibimbap on the dining table when he woke up while Taehyung smiled and gestured him to sit.

"You said you want to eat the bibimbap I made last time again, didn't you? So here we go. I prepared it for you. Try it and tell me if it's as good as last time."

Taehyung smiled as he watch Jungkook finish up the whole bowl.

The previous night, he saw a side of Jungkook he never knew before, though it's not been long since he came to his world, but the sight of him breaking down in disappointment on himself broke his heart for some reason he couldn't understand.

"Are you... are you feeling better now?"

Yeah, he badly wanted to know, because he at least wanted to make sure if Jungkook is feeling okay and not feel so despondent of himself anymore.

Jungkook smiled, putting the glass of water on his hand back on the table, "did you prepare this to make me feel better?"

Taehyung chuckled at the question because it's true.

"I did. Is it working?"

"It is. Thanks to you, I'm feeling much better." Jungkook smiled, and a nod to reassure he's really alright. "Don't worry. I'm much patient than you think. I'm not giving up yet. I'll surely get a job in a company with good salary and we're gonna live happily."

Taehyung just chuckled at how determined Jungkook's voice sounds once again, it kinda relieved him to hear it.

And talking about jobs, it suddenly reminded him of what he was thinking of the whole night.

"Um... Jungkook-ah, I was thinking... maybe I should work too? Y'know, it's boring to be here all day without doing anything and besides it'll be more helpful if I work too, don't you think?"

Jungkook just stared at him for a good few seconds without a word, sadness slowly clouding his eyes as he reached out to gently rub his thumb over Taehyung's hand.

"I'm sorry. I keep worrying you, aren't I? I promised myself I wouldn't let you work anymore so you can rest all you want and live here happily with me but... I'm such a looser boyfriend, aren't I? I don't even have a stable job and I'm here, even dragging you to worry about my financial problems when I should be the one to—"

"No. No. That's not it," Taehyung stood up from his chair to stand by Jungkook's side, their hands still holding each other's. "I'm more than happy with you here. What I meant is you're working so hard on your own when you should be preparing for your job interviews. I'm not saying you've not prepared yourself enough, I know you're doing your best but it pains me to think about how tired you might be with all your part time jobs. I hardly see you taking rest."

He wanted to make sure Jungkook doesn't think of himself like that. It's true that Jungkook's doing his best, he is trying and Taehyung didn't want him to engulf by any kind of discouraging thoughts, which he doubt, considering how persistent Jungkook is, but he still wanted to cheer him on.

And he can't let Jungkook be the only one to earn money for them, he wanted to help too. Because he know Jungkook is struggling, and he know for the fact that the few he earned from his part time jobs will never be enough for both of them.

"But... but it's you who've been working your whole life. It's you who didn't even get to sleep a wink. It's you who couldn't get a single rest. I wanted you to at least get enough rest—"

"Jungkook, I've done it enough tho? Thanks to you. Resting is all I've ever did since I came here, aren't I?" Taehyung shrugged his shoulders with a faint smile, he wanted to convince Jungkook but it's also the truth that he's been resting enough, and thankfully, looks like it worked seeing how the other finally nodded in agreement.
