Taehyung had been in rehab for about 5 days now and was only just feeling better. The last few days were draining, torture and something he never ever wants to experience again.

He hadn't eaten properly in 4 days now due to all the vomiting he was experiencing. All his nights were sleepless, waking up every hour feeling intensely ill.

Physical symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, with the right help can be stopped after a few days to months. The first few days are the worst, by a few months patients will feel tired, mood changes and sleep changes but nothing like seizures or hallucinations which individuals are more prone to working the first 24-48 hours since their last drink.

Taehyung had just woken up groaning, he finally had a night where he had a decent sleep. Decent was 5 hours, but that was 5 hours more than the past few nights. He finally wasn't puking now too. He just had constant headaches, weakness, loud noises and bright lights can be uncomfortable, and feeling very dehydrated.

"Hey loser, nice to see you back from the dead" Jooheon smiled, looking at the boy who looked exhausted but the nickname still managed to make Taehyung jokingly eye roll and a small smile.
"I brought you some food, today will be the day you will stomach it hm. Hopefully it'll give you energy, because today you'll be seeing your Jungkookie"

Taehyung's mouth dropped.
"T-today?" Taehyung gasped.
"That's what I said, I can't wait to meet your lover boy. I mean after being on the phone to him while you're throwing up each night is good and all but it'll be great to see him in person"
"I-I can't see him, I look like shit" Taehyung said looking at himself in the mirror.
"You've waited all week to see him, he's waited all week to see you too. You need to Tae"

"I don't want him to worry though" Taehyung mumbled, he already knew he's lost a lot of weight recently and his eye bags were huge, he also looked much paler than usual.

"He will worry more if he can't see you stupid. He'll be devastated to come over and see you"
"But I look disgusting, he won't want to talk to me again, I know it"
"Taehyung shut the fuck up. He's been up all night on the phone to make sure you're okay. Finally the time comes he can see you, you don't want to see him. You should feel lucky someone is even coming to see you, cause I've got no one!"

"I-I'm so sorry Joo, please forgive me"
Taehyung apologised walking to his bed and sitting next to him.
"I'm sorry hyung" Taehyung whined jumping on top of him and hugged him.
"You should not be hugging me, you'll break"
"Shhh, this won't happen often to suck it up. You're not alone, you have me and Koo now. And I am sorry, I love Koo more than anything and I know he wouldn't judge. I just, I dunno"

"It's okay kiddo, I know you love him. Now let's get you fed and presentable for your boyfriend"

"Oh my god, I can't wait to see him. 9 hours till I can see him" Jungkook jumped about to his coworkers.
"Awh Kook you're so cute" Chae smiled squeezing Jungkook's cheeks.
"I still can't get over the fact you are both dating, I must have been so oblivious" Kihyun laughed as he swept the floor getting ready for opening.

"Kook are you ever gonna get any sleep? You look exhausted"
"Yeah during the day, not tomorrow though, but I don't care. I'd do anything to see him and if that means no sleeping then I won't sleep"
"You can leave early tonight if you want" Chan suggested feeling bad for the boy.
"Thanks guys but I need to stay and finalise things before we are closed for the next two days. I appreciate you all though, you've all done so well. I know I'm not your boss and I'd never want to take that away. But I'm really proud of you all and I know boss would be too"

"Awhhh Kook, we love you too" Chae squealed, hugging Jungkook's neck and ruffling his hair.
"Don't read in to it too much Chae" Jungkook sulked. "I can only love one and that's my boyfriend" Jungkook quickly winked.
