1 month later

Exam was approaching quickly.
Only one month is left.

Taehyung was taking too much pressure on his mind. He studied day and night for hours and hours.

Even though he studied everything but he felt that he won't ace his exam.

He was worried for his exams. He was worried for results. What if he failed any subject?

He wanted to go to the prestigious university of London but for that he needed to score the highest.

Jungkook was worrying for his physical as well as mental health. He wouldn't go out for fresh air. He would lock himself inside his study room and study for hours.

Due to the pressure he has become short tempered. He gets angry on little things and pour his all anger over Jungkook. Jungkook tries to calm him down but he fails.

Jungkook's friends are also getting worried for his health. Whenever Taehyung attempts any question and gets it wrong he punishes himself.

He has also stopped eating 3 meals in a day.

He looks fragile, skinny, he has gotten dark circles under his eyes and his face has gotten more thin from chubby.

He doesn't look like his usual self at all.

He has lost his old self. He doesn't speak to even Jungkook because he knows if he will open his mouth then he will end up fighting with Jungkook.

Both of them sleep in different rooms. Everything has changed.

Right now, Jungkook was at Namjoon and Jin's apartment sharing his information about Taehyung

"I'm concerned about him. I always tell him to not take pressure but he doesn't listen to me at all. I'm confused, Hyung."

Jungkook said. His eyes were on brims of tears. This state of Taehyung gives him stress. He can't sleep at all because of Taehyung.

He cares about him a lot. He misses his old boyfriend now.

"Don't cry, kook." Namjoon said as he passed a tissue paper to him. Jin patted Jungkook's back and gave him a kiss on forehead.

They neither wanted this. But they know only Jungkook can bring his old self. But how?

"Jungkook, I don't think so if this works. But, you have to return to your old self too." Namjoon said and sighed.

Jin gave Namjoon a confused look. He didn't know what is Namjoon talking about.

Jungkook looked at Namjoon and tilted his head in confusion.

"What do you mean?" Jungkook asked.

"I mean, you have to become that strict husband again. If you want our old Taehyung to come back then your the only one who can get him back on path. You have to be strict towards him." Namjoon told him. Namjoon laid his back on the sofa as he crossed his arms.

Jungkook thought about it for a minute and shook his head.

"No, I can't do this." He stated.

"Why can't?" Namjoon asked. Jin nodded and put his hand on Jungkook's.

"You have to, kook." Jin told him.

"If I tried to order him, he will get angry. He won't listen to me. He has changed." Jungkook said as he sobbed hard. Jim gave him a pity look and rubbed his back.

"But, communication helps a lot you know. The more you communicate the more you get solutions of problems in your life. Try it for once. That's what I can suggest you or advice you." Namjoon ended the conversation with that and Jungkook nodded. He said "thank you" and got up.

"I am feeling a little bit better now. Hope, that communication thing helps." Jungkook prayed and  the couple in front of him nodded and wished him luck.

Jungkook took his car key and bid them bye. He took the exit and got inside the car.

"God show me the right path." Jungkook prayed and started the car's engine. Jungkook puts the car on race and drove off to his home.

The road trip was silent. He was lost in his own little world of imagination.

When he reached home, he parked the car in garage and got off his car. He cracked his tired muscles. And shook his head a little.

He played with his car key as he walked to the entrance of home and stood in front of door.

He took out his  key and unlocks the door. "I'm home." He said in an inaudible tone.

His eyes were red because of crying and he was really exhausted.

He was stress because of both exams and Taehyung 's health. It was of course tiring for him as well.

"Taehyung?" Jungkook called out his husband name in a low as he dragged himself upstairs.

It was dead silent. Probably, Taehyung is studying. Jungkook thought and he sighed.

He massaged his temples as he walked towards Taehyung's personal room where he studies.

He thought to check upon Taehyung.

He opened Taehyung's room door and  it  happened with a creak sound.

Jungkook looked up and simultaneously said, "Tae?"

But he did not know that what was coming for him.

He went unconscious for a minute and his eyes widened.

His heart pounded loudly in his chest as he put his hand over his chest.

"N-no.. this c-cant h-happen." Jungkook's voice broke as he ran and got on his knees.

His husband, Taehyung, was lying on the floor. His face looked pale and he looked like a dead person.

"Tae.." Jungkook voice came out almost inaudible. Tears slid through his cheeks as he touched Taehyung's face.

He shook Taehyung's body and tried to wake him up.

"Tae, you alright?" Jungkook asked again and again and he started crying. What has become of Taehyung.

"It's my fault. It's my fault." Jungkook repeated his sentence as his hands became shaky. His mind was not working at all.

"I should call my hyungs." Jungkook said as he tub towards the telephone.

He dialed for Namjoon number as he muttered things between his lips.

His lips were trembling out of fear.

What if something happened to my husband? Jungkook cried at his thought and he kept muttering for Namjoon to pick up the phone.

After few bells, Namjoon picked up. Namjoon voice came out deep as he said, "Hello, it's Kim's residence. Who is speaking?"

Jungkook sobbed hard as he said, "H-hyung, I f-fucked up."
