My Gardener, My Husband

More of you and me

Jungkook insisted that Taehyung should stay in bed until Jin arrived, even though IU said he was fine, he was still going to be cautious, or rather over-cautious as Song put it.

Some time later, Taehyung was in his room with Jungkook, now all the anxiety he was feeling before was gone, everything was beginning to dawn on him now, Jungkook kissed him. "He kissed me!"

What? Why? What happens now? What is going on?

Jungkook caught him starting before he could quickly look away.

"What's wrong?" the other asked as he put his phone away, he had been texting his brother.

"No, it's nothing" Taehyung replied shifting in the bed.

Jungkook was not convinced as he got up from his chair and sat on the bed next to the younger. There was clearly a conversation they were both avoiding, Jungkook wanted none of it.

All that mattered to him was that Taehyung was fine and he was here with him. He wasn't scared of him, he didn't push him away, he was right next to him.

"You don't have to worry about anything okay" Jungkook said assuringly. Taehyung bit his lower lip with his head hanging.

This was good, he wanted this, he has always wanted this. For Jungkook to worry about him, to take care of him, to be there. And it was finally happening, so why was he feeling unsure now?.

The past weeks, Jungkook had been good to him, this must be genuine right. He looked at him with pleading eyes, not saying what he want's to hear but somehow excepting the other to just say it.

"Don't look at me like that-"
"Hmm? Like what?"
"Like you want me to kiss you"

Taehyung got flustered by Jungkook's bluntness that he was lost of words. Suddenly there was a nock on the door, it was Jin.

"But I feel fine" Taehyung said, confused as to why the doctor had to see him. "Yes, but we need to make sure you are okay, you hit your head when you fell" Jin explained. Taehyung frowned a little, did he really hit his head? he didn't remember.

"Can you tell me what you remember from the past few days?" Jin asked. "Uhm, nothing really happened, Jungkookie was away for work most of the time and I was here" Taehyung replied. "And what have you been up to?

"o! I had to leave my job" Taehyung said as he recalled what happened. "Your job?" Jin asked. "yeah, I mean I didn't get fired, but the flower shop I used to work at closed down, so-" Taehyung explained.

Jin was taking notes as he listened. Taehyung continued to answer his questions and after they were done he asked him to get ready to that they could go to the hospital and do a brain scan.

Every body else was waiting outside. Yoongi and Jimin came too.

"So?" they all seemed to ask with their expectant expressions.

Jin sighed. "Well, it seems like his side of the story is still continuing. Given the fact that he "disappeared", when he came back, his brain created a reality for him that makes it look like he never left."

"Unlike the other him that woke up with memories, he didn't. So he doesn't know that there is another version of him"

Jin looked at Jungkook, "but at least this time it seems like you two are on good terms. You even made plans"

"Plans? what plans?" Jungkook asked. "Nope, I am not getting into that" Jin replied. Before Jungkook could question him again, he told him to go and check on Taehyung if he was done getting ready.

"Is he going to be okay?" Yoongi asked after Jungkook left. "He is going to be okay, he might just need a little bit of time, but he will be fine" Jin replied assuringly.

Jungkook knocked on Taehyung's door and waited. "Just a minute" he replied. A few minutes later the door opened.

Jungkook never gave it much thought, as to whether his actions towards Taehyung were solely based of the instructions his brother gave him. To look after him and not make him upset.

In the beginning, sure. But it didn't take long for him to want to do things for Taehyung from his own accord.

He would be lying if he said he hadn't thought of him when he was "gone", even though he was there, smelling the flowers in the garden.

The night he drove him to the hospital was the night he put the ring on his finger while he was sleeping. He didn't want to wait till the next day, given how Taehyung ended up a club because he didn't trust him.

He wanted Taehyung to trust him, to need him, to be a part of his world. He didn't want him to be scared of him.

He was becoming greedy. He wanted more.

He knew this, and he didn't care, not anymore.

"Jungkookie?" Taehyung called his name when the other appeared to just be staring at him. "O, uhm, are you ready to go?" Jungkook asked. "Yeah, am ready" Taehyung replied straightening his shirt.

He was waiting for Jungkook to move out of the way so that they could get going, but he didn't. "Jungkookie?"

Jungkook took a few steps closer until he was towering the younger male. He placed his hand on his waist and held his face by his chin.

Taehyung could feel his cheeks heat up, he tried to look away but Jungkook didn't let him.

Next thing he knew he felt the other's lips on his own. His eyes were still flattering open as he tried to register what was happening, but Jungkook gave him no time for that as he deepened the kiss making the younger to almost stumble back if it wasn't for his tight grip.

Taehyung found himself relaxing and kissing him back. His heart was racing fast.

When Jungkook pulled away, his lips were slightly swollen. "Wh-what was that for?" he asked. "You look really nice" Jungkook replied with a little smirk, still holding him close.

"O, uhm, thank you" Taehyung replied, having become a blushing mess. Jungkook was so full of surprises lately.

"I-I think we should get going" Taehyung mumbled against Jungkook chest, though he didn't want to move

"Lets stay like this for a bit" Jungkook said wrapping his arms around him, "I missed you"

Soon after arriving at the hospital, Jin left with Taehyung while the others waited in the waiting room.

Taehyung was still trying to get used to all the attention he was getting, it was a huge change. But as he was getting his brain scan he started thinking about something else.

"Where is my ring?"
