"Taehyung-shi time to wake up" a call was sent to the sleeping male.
Taehyung fuzzily woke up, feeling groggy after waking from his nap.
"Koo?" Taehyung mumbled as he rubbed his face into the pillow.
"Koo? No I'm Jooheon, sorry pal, but I'm your room mate"
Taehyung looked at him with confusion till he realised where he was.

Taehyung sat up and quickly bowed at the man who looked much older than him.
"Sorry my name is Taehyung, Kim Taehyung"
"Jooheon, good to meet you. Who is Koo?"
"Koo, my soulmate" Taehyung sighed as he curled up on his bed.
"That's sweet"
"Have you got a partner?" Taehyung asked.

"Uhm I did, but I've been here too long and she gave up on me. She started off seeing me every visitation day, but as the months passed she slowly started to never return"
"I'm sorry that's awful"
"It's okay I'm over it now, I just hope the same doesn't happen to you"
Taehyung just smiled and began looking outside the window.
'Jungkook could never....right'.

"Anyway come along, let's go and get dinner"
Taehyung just nodded, not really feeling like talking anymore. He followed Jooheon down the corridor and to the canteen.
There was multiple tables with groups of people talking and laughing.

He scanned the room and noticed a table at the end which didn't have anyone sat on it. He took his tray of food which was some kind of noodle dish, and sat down at the table. He slowly ate his food, not really in the mood to eat either.

"Oi newbie"
Taehyung turned his head and saw 4 buff men walk towards him and sit down with smirks.
"Can I help you?" Taehyung asked.
"Yeah, you got anything?"
"What?" Taehyung blinked suspiciously.
"Come on everybody smuggles something in, what you got? Cigs? Booze? Coke?"
Taehyung frowned, "fuck off mate, we're in rehab" Taehyung grabbed his tray and dumped his trash in the bin before walking back to his room.

Taehyung sighed once he collapsed onto his bed. He took hold of a hoodie which Jungkook had given him and pulled it over himself. His hood settled on the top of hie head while the sleeves went to his nose.
God he missed him already.

Taehyung's eye slowly shut as he began to drift off to sleep, without having Jungkook or booze.

"Taehyungie where are you?" A small voice called through the quiet house.
"Taetae, are you hiding from me?" She whined, as she couldn't find he older brother anywhere.

She came to her brothers closed door and knocked.
"Taetae?"
"Luna go away" the little girl heard the boy yell.
But she didn't listen, she could tell something was wrong with her brother and didn't want to leave him alone.

"Let me in Taetae, please" she sighed knocking on the door again.
There was a slight pause and shuffling was heard. The door unlocked and opened slowly.

Luna's eyes widened in excitement and walked into the room. She looked up at her brother who was sat on his bed...with tears rolling down his face.

"Taetae, what's wrong?" Luna pulled herself onto the boys bed and crawled over to him.
"Taetae can tell Luna what's wrong" Luna chimed patting the boys head showing him comfort.
"You won't understand Luna" Taehyung sniffed.
"Then make me understand"

"Your brother won't ever find a life partner" Taehyung cried.
"What do you mean Taetae, my brother will find his soulmate"
"How do you know that Luna, I'm so lonely. Everyone who comes up to me just wants to play with my emotions. It's not fair"

"Shhh don't cry Taetae, you will find the right person someday. I will make sure of it. But for the time being you'll always have me, I won't go anywhere. Taetae won't ever be alone"
"You act too old for your age"
"You act like a baby for your age"
"Shhh now let Taetae sleep"
"Noooo"

Taehyung's eye flickered open as he felt an immense pain in his stomach. His head started throbbing and he began sweating a ton.
"H-help" Taehyung screamed in pain, rushing to the bathroom and threw up into the toilet.
"Taehyung hold on I'll get help" he heard a faint noise in the background.

Taehyung had his face into the toilet, feeling his whole body on fire, and an immense pain in his stomach. Tears streamed down his face as he felt like he was being ripped apart.

"Taehyung, the nurses are here" Jooheon called.
The nurses ran in and helped Taehyung, they gave him water and helped him control the sweating.
"You need to fight through the pain, the pain will get better" Jooheon called as he sat on the bathroom floor knowing how hard the first few nights were.

Taehyung breathing was ragged. He felt awful, and he couldn't even have Jungkook to look after him.
"K-kook" Taehyung rasped out from throwin up so much.
"W-want Koo" Taehyung sobbed as he cried in pain.
Even though he was given pain relief it wasn't going to work instantly.

"Can someone call Jungkook for Taehyung?" Jooheon asked noticing the fear on Taehyung's face.
"Yeah good idea I'll grab the phone" one of the nurses said to rushing to get the phone and the sheet of Taehyung's contacts.

They dialled Jungkook's number. It was 5am so they thought Jungkook wouldn't be up, but of course he was, he was indulging himself in the paper work which hadn't been done for the last few weeks trying to distract himself from the loneliness.

There were a few rings till Jungkook picked up.
"Hello? This is Jungkook speaking"
"Hi, this is a nurse from Bangtan Rehabilitation centre, Taehyung is currently in a lot of pain and was calling for your name, would you like to talk to him?"
"Please" Jungkook spoke worriedly.
"Okay I'm passing over the phone now.
Taehyung it's Jungkook for you"

There was a slight pause until sniffles were heard.
"Tae bear?"
"Koo" Taehyung cried as he screamed in pain on the floor with towels surrounding him.
"Hey angel, I'm so proud of you" Jungkook spoke with a strong voice not wanting to cry.
"Koo, I-I'm scared" Taehyung whispered as he silently cried.
"It's okay to be scared angel, but nothing bad will happen to you. Im always here for you. You've got to be strong for me. The pain will be worth it I promise"
"I miss you"
"And I miss you. I love you okay, you can't ever forget that. Now you will be brave for me hm?"

Jungkook knew that it sounded like he was talking to a child. But he was vulnerable right now and this was the only way he knew Taehyung would listen to him.
"Yeah, will make Koo proud"
"You already are"
"Koo?"
"Hmm"
"I'm tired" Taehyung sniffed.
"Then sleep angel, get some rest. I'll stay on till you're asleep"
"Love you" Taehyung mumbled as he began to fall asleep on the bathroom floor, while nurses covered him with blankets.
"Love you too"
