Jungkook's POV:

Tae's sleeping right now. On bed. It was his turn to sleep on couch. But he was so exhaused he perhaps forgot and slept on bed after coming back from hospital.
Not that I am complaining. If it were upto me I would have let him sleep everynight on bed.

He looks adorable when he's tangled up into sheets, softly snoring with no care.

It's been a couple of hours since we came back from hospital. After Jimin was consious,Tae was reluctant to leave his side but The doctor said that Jimin needs rest. Moreover his family was also there with him. And.. the person whom Tae calls hyung also insisted for him to go back home and take a nap as he was looking extremely tired.

We drove back in silence. And when I retured from bathroom after freshening up, he was already snuggled under the bed covers, asleep.

A small smile twitches my lips when the memory of him in my arms, flashes in my mind
Even if it was just for few moments, the feeling was ineffable. Too pure to describe in words.

People talk alot about how cute is it when someone smiles against your lips. But they don't talk enough about the absolute tenderness of a moment when someone completely relaxes against you when you hold them...

The way he did. Just the thought of it is so warm.

It finally dawns on me and with such painful force that it leaves my heart aching.

It's not a simple crush. Not anymore.
Or maybe it had never been..

They don't call it gently cascading for someone. Do they?
Because that's not how it feels.
You don't 'gracefully descend' for someone.
You fall. Head over heels right?
And either someone catches you or they don't, and you have no idea how badly bruised you are going to be at the bottom of it.

It doesn't make sense. I barely knew the comfort of his touch. I barely knew the luxury of his closeness. I barely knew him.

But again when does it had ever made sense?
You meet someone.
You fall for them.
And that's that.

His even breathing is the proof that he's in deep sleep. That gives me enough courage to reach my hand and brush his silverish hair away from his face, tucking a stray strand behind his ear softly.
"I am falling Tae and I hope you can catch me someday."

Author's POV: ( few days after the accident)

"How many times I have told you not to drive recklessly. You never listen. You just wait. Once you are out of this bed. I will punch you on your face for being so careless on road" Tae constantly kept scolding Jimin while feeding him with soup.

It was nothing new. Tae has been doing this for days whenever he comes to visit Jimin.

(A/N: aww my heartu is softie for Vmin)

Jimin was shamelessly smiling now and then at Tae's concerns.

Taehyung tries so hard to appear tough.

"Yiah why are you smiling now you mochi!" Tae smacked his arm but not too harshly.

"You are cute when you are not being your BIG BAD CEO self" Jimin air quoted 'Big Bad Ceo',

Tae got reminded of someone's else's similer words.

"You look best when you are you."

His heartbeat accelerates by mere remembrance of the said person.

You stupid heartu. Stop beating so fast now.!!! He scolded his heart with an angry huff.

"Kim Taehyung, my mouth is opened since last 10 hours. Just shove the spoon for God's sake where is your mind at?" Jimin complained.

"Shit!! sorry Chim" he said with slight blush coated cheeks at being caught daydreaming.

Jimin instantly knew what might be going in his soulmate's head.
"So..." he purposely dragged the word.

"So...?" Tae imitated him but in questioning manner.

"How are things with your Hubby?"

Tae choked on his saliva at both hubby and things.

"I was talking about things in office, Tae. Since you know he's the Co Ceo" Jimin elobared and patted his back.

"Oh..." Tae trailed off embarrasingly causing Jimin to smirk.

"What things were you thinking Tae?" He asked innocently.

Jimin and innocent??
Tae knew better than that.

"I swear Chim I will make sure you are hospitalized the rest of your life, if you don't shut up right now" Tae warned him.

Jimin didn't dare to open his mouth after that.

___________

A week has passed since Jimin's accident. He is discharged from hospital now. And is recovering really well.

And now Jungkook knows Jin is Tae's cousin and secretary, nothing more.

At company, he and Tae are in same office. They travel in same car. They attend same events. At home too, they are in same room,

so interactions are obviously inevitable.

Though they are still sticking to their rule of alternating between bed and couch.
Well more like Tae's rule, Tae often finds himself on bed at morning and Jungkook on couch..

Yes, every other night, Jungkook picks him up and makes him lie on bed. Rather takes couch himself.

If that isn't romantic. I don't know what is.

Except there's a problem.
Jungkook's Dad.

A BIG ASS PROBLEM.

Because Jungkook was not actually implementing to whatever his father would order him, regarding the Kim enterprises matters. He would appear to be complying with everything but in reality he would not give two fucks about what his father wants.

That was their plan after all. That Day, Jungkook had offered Tae his complete support and help, all the while thinking he could hide this from his father

But it was not as easy as it sounded like.

Not when Jeon hyun got to know that his own son is supporting Taehyung...

______________

"You think I wouldn't know about the little games you are playing behind my back huh?"
Jeon Hyun's voice dangerously drops.

There's no one in living room except Jungkook and his father..

Jungkook knows he is physically strong enough to overpower his father if he tries to do something but he does not know if he's courageous enough to do that.

Your mental strength seem to cease in these cases . Specially if the one you are supposed to fight is your parent, who is tormenting with your mind since your tender age . When you were actually defenseless.

Your mind tricks you into thinking you are still defenseless.. even now when you are a grown up or supposed to be far stronger.

"TELL ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT?"

"WHY DID YOU NOT DO WHAT I SAID?"

Aerum came running into the living room, standing between the two of them. She shields Jungkook with herself.




Too late.

Jungkook had already a bleeding cut on his cheek from the slap his father gave him. His sharp ring piercing into the soft flesh causing blood to trickle down his face.
