Third Person's Pov

"For the national championship opening match, we're competing against team TRIUMPH" Hyunjin, who was sitting next to Tae in their Team's mini volvo said to Tae.
"What!!! Really? " Tae asked with a surprised expression cuz it wasn't suppose to work like that. The groups were suppose to play against each other and the top ones would compete in the finals. "He's teasing you, don't mind him" Hobi said and others chuckled at the duo when they start bickering again.
"Hyung, why are you so quite today?" Hyunjin asked his brother who was sitting right in front of him with Hobi. "Not feeling well" Jk simply replied and leaned his head against the window and closed his eyes.
"Do you have temperature?" Tae asked worriedly and tried his best to reach out for Jk's forehead to check his temperature and when he finally checked Jk's temperature, he did have a mild fever. "You have fever, you should have some meds after dinner" Tae said to Jk who just shrugged, his throat was actually hurting a lot but he didn't want to say it so he just kept his mouth shut and avoided talking. "I'm serious, we've a match the day after tomorrow and if you fall sick what will happen to your team??" Tae said and he did sounded a bit serious. "I'll be fine" and that's all Jk said and Tae felt Jk was avoiding him on purpose so he didn't say much after that.

"Tae, everyone's waiting for you at the dining table" Hobi called out for Tae, who was busy watching some gaming videos in his laptop. Tae just hummed and said "yeah", but he didn't really bother to close his laptop and go downstairs. "Taeee, namjoon hyung said if you don't come downstairs within 5 mins, Hyunjin will play tomorrow's match in your place which means you'll be the substitute player" and after hearing that, Tae paused the video he was watching and immediately want downstairs, where he saw others are waiting for him.
"Ah Joon hyung? I'm on time right?" Tae asked hesitantly and he noticed how Jk chuckled inaudibly.
"Well...." "I swear I was just watching few of Kings's matches to know their technique" Taehyung babbled as he thought he's going to be the substitute for tomorrow's match.
"Why would you waste your time watching their match? They're not really a tough competition" Hobi said and Jk hummed in agreement. "Well we can't underestimate anyone like that, they're good at gaming that's why they're here and their technique is indeed a bit different from others" Tae explained a bit but stopped when he felt Jk's hand at the back of his sweater, rubbing gently. Tae looked at Jk and raised one of his brow, as if asking if he wants to say something or not. "Don't stress too much, it's literally the first match and as Hobi said, they're not really a tough competition, we'll win yeah?" Jk said, his voice as soft as possible, but Tae noticed how Jk sounded a little hoarse "do you have a sore throat? Did you take the medicine the other day?" Tae asked, genuinely worried about the other.
"He said he's okay Tae, don't worry my hyung doesn't lie" Hyunjin said with a small smile, he was actually a bit jealous after seeing Tae being so caring for his brother.
"It's not about lying though, people hide their pain so others don't suffer bcz of them" Tae said with a small pout and focused back on the gimbab which was placed on the other plate but bcz it was a but far from his reach he couldn't get a proper hold and it kept slipping away from his chopstick. Jk noticed that and he also reached out for the gimbab, but that wasn't for him, he picked it up with his chopstick and hold it in front of Tae's lips and gestured Tae to eat it and Tae was just shocked and he unconsciously opened his mouth and Jk fed him with a small smile. "Whipped man" Tae heard Jimin comment and he slightly blushed at it but he didn't wanna hope for anything.

It was currently 2 am and Tae wasn't sleepy at all, he kept tossing and turning around his bed but still he couldn't sleep, so he decided to watch the video he paused earlier and took notes about Kings's technique cuz for Tae, the technique was definitely a bit unique and he's sure that they couldn't have predicted an uprising team like them to have such amazing and unique technique.

It was currently 5 in the morning when Tae heard a knock on his door, he didn't really notice the time as he kept watching one after another match and in between played few matches as well, he was nervous okay? But no one else was suppose to be awake since it was still way too early to be awake for the match.
He opened the door and saw a sleepy jungkook staring at him and he looked mad for some reason.
"Why tf are you still awake Taehyung? You aren't a kid who doesn't know anything. You're literally watching YouTube videos when you're suppose to sleep? Go and sleep you fcking idiot" Jk whiper yelled, and he seemed quite angry too, his eyes red and his voice is as hoarse as before.
Tae closed the door at Jk's face and closed his laptop and went to sleep. He knew he was wrong but it wasn't his fault that he was nervous and just wanted to know about the opponent's techniques, Jk could've been a little nicer.
Meanwhile, Jk just sighed heavily, still standing outside Tae's room. He realised that he over reacted and he shouldn't have curse at Tae like that. He was about to knock at Tae's door again but thought of talking to him in the morning before leaving for the match.
