Innocent

Tk

He let out a heavy sigh while he took in how disarray the room was

Tissue papers were everywhere on the soft carpet of the room

"Go away"

He heard the younger hiss from beneath the puffy duvet somewhere on the messy bed

He looked up to the younger's curled up figure with remorse in his eyes

Was he really the cause of the younger's misery?

Or was he just sick?

The thought of being the reason for why the younger was acting up broke his heart so much

He really wished things weren't the way they were and he knew Taehyung was the right person

He could feel it deep in his bones but he came at the wrong time

There was no other way to say it any more

They just couldn't be together

Not yet

The only thing he could do at that point was to keep the other up and strong

So that was what he did

In a swift motion, he took off his suit and flung it on a desk chair

He rolled up his sleeves while his eyes roamed the room and thought of where to start from

Beneath the duvet, Taehyung had his eyes as wide as the ocean while he carefully listened to the sound of the other's movement

What's he doing??

He asked himself

He could hear the sound of the other's feet shuffling against the carpet floor making his curiosity grow as to what he was doing in his room

Carefully, he took off the duvet from his head to peek at the other

He spotted the other's figure bending over to pick up a piece of tissue paper on the floor

Shit

He cursed at himself

He quickly stood from his bed and tried to sprint to the other and stop him but he immediately regretted his actions

"agghh"

He groaned in pain when he suddenly fell on his bum from the dizziness he felt and pain which shot through his body

While his head ached and made spins, the dizziness he felt never subsided and the pain from his waist, abdomen and hole kicked in so hard and painfully that it became hard to keep his mind focused

His heart beat began to accelerate

Jungkook quickly dropped the bag he used to contain the tissue papers and within a millisecond he was crouched before the younger who was painfully whimpering while he clutched his abdomen with a bowed head

"Hey"

He carefully muttered with concern dropping from his voice while he softly cupped his left cheek and softly caressed his right shoulder

He felt his palm get wet as soon as it made contact with the younger's soft cheek

He was crying??

"Hey hey"

He tried to carefully lift the other's head with his palm but the other refused

He refused to look up to him

He only bowed his head and and clutched his abdomen tighter

"Hey

You're gonna hurt yourself"

He tried to stop the younger from clutching too tight on his stomach but the other only yanked his hands away

"Leave"

His heart ached so bad when he heard the other's broken sobs

He only wanted to protect him

Why was this happening

"I'm not leaving, now get up "

He held onto the younger's arms and tried to drag him up

"No leave "

Taehyung began to trash in his hold disregarding the harsh aches and pains he had in return

Jungkook, with so much difficulty tried to help the younger up while he kept trashing himself from his grip

"no no leave"

Still with his head hung low, Taehyung tried to push the other away with the last strength he had stored in the top most shelf of his body but the older didn't even budge an inch

Yet, Jungkook flushed their bodies together with one arm at the small of his back and the other held onto Tae's flimsy wrist which was about to land one of his weak kicks on his chest

And in a swift motion he smashed their lips together

Taehyung's eyes went huge and abruptly stopped all his weak kicks and pushes

Even though the kiss didn't last for more than a second and the older didn't even move his lips, the action alone was enough to make Taehyung's head go blank and only think about the soft pair of lips on his

Jungkook pulled away and regarded the younger's wide eyes

The eyes which always seemed lively and had a glint of flirt now looked so sad and a bit empty

His face had lost it's beautiful tan color leaving behind a pale skin which perfectly highlighted the dark bags beneath his puffy and red eyes

Meanwhile, while Jungkook was lost in a trance, Taehyung also regarded the older but for an unknown reason his mind suddenly drifted off to two days back

Before he slept he didn't brush his teeth, the day after he didn't brush his teeth even that evening he didn't brush his teeth and the day after that and even that morning

He didn't brush his teeth

Like the spread of coronavirus, a crimson color spread all over his head while he still stared wide eyed at the other for his reaction

However, the older only kept a straight face and dragged him towards his bed like he didn't just hold Taehyung in the place he craved for his hand and kissed his lips so softly

He slowly sat on his soft but uncomfortable bed and looked at his nails while he fidgeted with them

With a sigh, Jungkook made his way to the night stand where a lump and a telephone phone laid

"Fatou, could you bring Taehyung's breakfast??"

He heard the other say behind him and that was when he heard his stomach painfully growl

Little whimpers which didn't go unheard by Jungkoook left his lips as he tried to suppress his groans

"Your tummy hurts?"

Jungkook crouched before him and looked up to his bowed head to get a view of his face but Tae only kept hiding his face and didn't respond to his question

"Hey

You'll hurt yourself more"

He softly tugged on the younger's hand but the younger didn't seem to be listening to him

Jungkook just crouch there and stared up at the other with remorse in his eyes until a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts

With a sigh and one last glance at the younger, he sauntered towards the door and twisted the nob

It was Fatou with a medium sized tray in her hands and a polite smile adoring her lips awaiting her master's order

"Hand it"
