"It's time to say goodbye now Mr Kim" the nurse who were waiting for the pair to arrive said.
Taehyung's luggage was on the floor already with  Jungkook's hand in his own since they first walked in.

"I can't say goodbye" Taehyung spoke with a shaky breath.
"You need to stay strong for me. You need to get better for yourself. No matter what happens you will make me proud."
"Koo please, I don't want to go"
"It's okay, it's not a goodbye it's a see you later. I'll visit every Sunday, no Sunday will be missed. I promise, Koo never breaks his promises, especially when made to his Tete"

Jungkook caressed the elders cheek with the pad of his soft thumb, looking up at him softly.
"It'll be okay, don't be scared" Jungkook whispered.
Taehyung nodded with a tear threatening to  fall. He dug his head into Jungkook's neck, where he found himself at his most safest.
Jungkook didn't need to ask or say anything. He already knew the amount of emotion that the boy must be going through.

"I love you angel" Jungkook whispered pulling the boys face up and pulled him into a innocent kiss.
The kiss lingered for a while when they pulled away Jungkook made sure to peck small kisses on the elders lips, making sure he knew he loved him.

"I'll see you in a couple of days okay. Look in your bag, don't be so down and make sure you sleep okay"
Taehyung nodded and waved goodbye when they guided him down the corridor. Once he had gone past the corner, Taehyung broke down.

He crouched down on the floor crying into his hands. Why was saying goodbye so fucking hard. He hated how he had become so attached to someone that the thought of not seeing him every day makes him feel violently ill.

"I know it's hard Mr Kim, but I promise it'll get better" the nurse said softly patting the man's back, helping him to stand up.
Taehyung nodded and pushed his tears away.
"Okay so like you saw yesterday, you'll be sharing a room with someone. You're roommate is called Jooheon. He's been here for 2 years now, very calm and mellow. I'm sure you'll get along. We have a certain schedule whereby breakfast is at 9, although some days we do allow you to sleep in. Then you'll be asked to take part in some leisurely activities during the day while also having a group therapy and Individual therapy. Lunch is at 1 and dinner is at 6"

"Do you understand?"
"Y-yeah that sounds good"
"You will have you own time where you can stay in your room or watch television and after a few weeks if you decide to you might want to get a job around the centre for example being a cook or cleaner"
Taehyung nodded taking in everything which the nurse was instructing.

"Now Taehyung you're going to have to understand the next few days aren't going to be nice. You will feel very ill. There is an emergency button for you to press if you feel ill so you can feel better. Jooheon will be able to help you, just as much as you'll be able to help Jooheon when the time comes"

"Okay Taehyung here is your room, go ahead and make yourself comfortable. The majority of your clothes will be already in there other than the ones you were allowed to bring yourself."
"Thank you" Taehyung bowed and walked into his room.

He noticed that the bed next to the window had all his things made up and ready for him. While the other bed was messily made up with a few photos hanging on the wall.
Taehyung sighed to himself and dumped his stuff on the bed. He wanted to distract his mind for as long as possible so he began to unpack his bag.

He noticed there was 3 of Jungkook's favourite hoodies packed in there, which was overpowered by his scent. Along with a perfume bottle which Jungkook uses everyday so he could spray the jumper so the smell didn't fade. Not only that was a teddy which Taehyung had won the boy and a photo frame.

Taehyung pulled the frame out and stared at it. Jungkook had made a collage of photos that they had taken together all fitted into one photo frame.
"Oh Koo" Taehyung teared up bringing a hoodie up to his nose and sniffed it.
He immediately wanted to hold Jungkook again.

"I need to see him" Taehyung dropped all of his stuff and sprinted out of his room back down the corridor the way he came.
Praying to anyone above that Jungkook was still in the place he had left him.

He ran around the corner and saw Jungkook just about to exit the building.
"JUNGKOOK" Taehyung yelled, tears pouring down his cheeks.
Jungkook turned around and saw Taehyung crying on the floor.
"Please let me see him one last time" Taehyung begged to the nurses.
They looked at one another and nodded seeing how distressed the male was.

They opened the door and allowed Taehyung to run to Jungkook.
The younger smiled seeing the man run to him. Opening his arms widely, and caught the impact of the elder colliding with his body.

They wrapped their arms around each other tightly.
"Oh Tae bear"
"Everything will be okay I promise" Jungkook whispered against the elders head tucking the boy under his chin.
"I can't do this without you though"
"Who said you didn't have me hm. You'll always have me"

It went quiet for a second.
"The nurses said that you would be able to call me. All I had to do was accept a consent form of you being able to contact me. So now whenever you need, you just call me. No matter what the time of the day it is, I'll always pick up for you"
"Really? I can do that"
"Of course you can silly, now don't stress okay"

"Can I take him to his room, I promise I'll leave once he's asleep" Jungkook questioned with hope.
They again nodded, knowing it was the right thing to do. Rehab was not prison.

"Hey angel how about we get you to bed hm?" Jungkook suggested.
Taehyung squeezed him tighter but nodded anyway. The pair walked to his room, thankfully his roommate wasn't in there just yet.
Jungkook moved his stuff off his bed and to the desk so it was out the way and guided the elder to the bed.
"Come on you big baby" Jungkook sat on the bed opening his arms to allow the boy to sleep next to him.

Jungkook ran his fingers through the elders hair, humming a soft tune. He pecked the boys head a few times while he was still away so he could know how much he loved him. Till soon after Jungkook heard small snores. He sighed letting a tear roll down his cheek.
"I love you angel"

Jungkook kissed the boys cheek one last time and slowly stood up. He replaced himself with the teddy which he packed so Taehyung had something to hug. He looked around and quickly put a few things of Taehyung's away knowing the elder wouldn't want tot do it.

Finally before leaving he placed the photo frame on the bed side table and quickly pulled out a note leaving it there so Taehyung could see it once he woke up.

"See you soon tete" Jungkook quietly walked out of the room, and left the centre.
He reached the car and burst into tears.
"What am I going to do without him"
