Polar Opposites - Jinkook

9

Jin hears a knock on the door, he wants to answer but has zero energy to do so. The knocking doesn't stop, and he can hear Jungkook calling his name. No matter what, his strength won't allow him to answer.

He tries to lift himself up from the bed but he can't. The knocking continues without stopping. He then starts to hear Jungkook calling from outside the door.

"Jin, are you up?" Jungkook asks. When Jin doesn't answer he starts knocking again.

Jin tries to prop himself on his elbows, he attempts to answer once again."Yes?" But it comes out weak and he ends up coughing.

Jungkook hears the coughing on the other side and says, "I'm coming in!"

Jungkook finds Jin wrapped in his blanket when he enters, barely keeping his eyes open as Jin looks at him.

"I'm not.." Jin coughs again as he tries to talk. "I'm not going to work today." He ends his sentence with a cough.

"You've fallen sick! I told you to be careful." Jungkook says as he sits on the bed beside Seokjin and puts his palm over Seokjin's forehead. "You're burning up!"

Jin rolls his eyes, "I don't wanna hear your nagging now, can you please leave me alone?"

"I'm not nagging! You're sick, that's a fact. You need to eat something and take medicine." Jungkook tells him firmly.

Jin groans and hides his face with the blanket, "Jungkook, please! I'm not in the right mind for your mom attitude." Jin sneezes. "Can you just leave for work and let me go back to sleep?"

Jungkook pulled the blanket down revealing Jin's face, "No, and this is not the time to be stubborn, you need to eat something warm first then take medicine, I'll call my mom to give me her Samgyetang recipe."

Jungkook doesn't give Seokjin much room to protest, he leaves his room hurriedly to call his mom.

Seokjin falls asleep again, not really having any energy to wait even if he wanted to.

When Jungkook is done with the Samgyetang, he enters Seokjin's room once again.

He puts the tray on the night stand and twakes him up gently this time.

"Seokjin." Jungkook says as he nudges Jin's shoulders softly.

Jin opens his eyes, he looks at Jungkook barely keeping his eyes open, his eyes then fall on the tray. He sighs and tries to sit straight on the bed but seems to be struggling.

"Here, let me help you." Jungkook tells him as he holds him from the under the armpits pulling him up. He then puts a pillow behind Jin's back for better support.

"Thank you." Jin says weakly.

Jungkook places the tray on Jin's lap. "Can you eat?" He asks.

Jin nods his head and holds the spoon. He scoops some stew and eats while Jungkook is looking at him intently.

"It's good." Jin tells him.

"You don't seem to like it that much." Jungkook says.

Jin shrugs his shoulder, "I think I can't taste properly because of my cold."

Jungkook hums and waits for him to finish eating. When Jin tells him that he's full and can't eat anymore he takes the tray and gives him a medicine pill and some water. Jin swallows the medicine and attempts to lie back on the bed.

"You don't wanna go to the bathroom?" Jungkook asks.

"Huh?"

"You don't wanna go to the bathroom? I can help you before I dress for work." Jungkook tells him.

Jin's face reddens a bit, "No, I'm fine." He answers.

"Are you sure? It's nothing to be embarrassed about, I can help you."
