MI AMORE || TAEGUKK || TAEKOOK

Side by Side

Two weeks later

Two more weeks went like nothing and they were here again at 'city hospital Seoul'.

After about 1 hour of therapy session with Taehyung the doctor was now describing some important things to jungguk. Even though tae told Jungguk to not be bothered and let him go alone but only if Jungguk could get agree.

"Its his 3rd session and I think I can say he's opening up. Though he is still hesitant to talk about certain things, But the thing I'm satisfied about is that he said he'll try to be fine again by himself , Mr.jeon it's first ever positive response from him." Doctor told him with softened expressions.

"Is there any improvement in his sleeping routines?" Jungguk was asked by doctor.

"Despite of all medication, he abruptly wakes up in between sleep and cry to not touch him, isn't there any other way to treat his disorder doctor?"

"Mr.jeon he has untreated insomnia from years and now the Sexual Abuse and kidnapping had worsen it. Ofcourse sessions and medication will help with time but other measures like a healthy diet and Exercise will help to reduce his stress level and make him physically and mentally strong too"

"From now on, I advise him to make excersise sure in his routine, Not too difficult excersise, Mr.Kim can start with daily walk or run or cycling for minimum 1 hour before sleeping, it will make him tire and he'll seek for rest in sleep."

"Sure, understood doctor-"

"uh btw you can call him Taehyung or Jeon."

"Oh-my apologies sir."

"No it's okay and thank you." Jungguk politely shrugged.

"It's my job Mr.jeon, I'll do whatever is takes to treat my patient-" Jungguk nodded with a half smile and was about to leave when-

"Can I know? are u guys married?" Doctor's question surely took Jungguk offgaurd as since the whole month after that contract, no one ever discussed it.

They were just doing normal without mentioning it at all. But hearing it from other's mouth, it was a strange feeling that erupted and then tingled with the nerves inside Jungguk's stomach to twitch them into a knot, resulting in stupid flies.

"You can say that" yet Jungguk managed to sound straight forward.

"Really nice to hear, the way you're taking care of your husband, I'm sure you'll take him out of this phase soon." Doctor smiled genuinely.

Jungguk's breath hitched and he gulped a hard lump in his throat as he heard the word 'husband '. Of course by this contract they were husbands. Yet he really hoped doctor would never mention it infront of Taehyung. He'll be uncomfortable-

"Uh-We'll get going now" Jungguk shook a last hand shake with doctor and left his room-

And when he reached the waiting area, Taehyung was fumbling with the string of his navy blue hoodie while sitting on a sofa, waiting for Jungguk. He was looking so cute in his oversized hoodie and plan trousers. Jungguk smiled to himself and went toward him, without saying anything he tugged at older's wrist and walked them out of hospital.

Taehyung could guess what Jungguk must be hearing from doctor because there was no improvement in his health.

While jungguk's mind was still stuck on that mere word 'husband'. It felt oddly satisfying to him, yet there was nothing between them like that, nor it was gonna be ever.

It was just need of time to be in this contract-

Both of them were lost in their own world that they didn't notice when they had reached home already. Jungguk stop the car and no one came out of it.
