As Taehyung's eyes fluttered open, the first thing he noticed was the loud beeping of the machines in the emergency room. He was disoriented and his head was pounding, and he couldn't recall how he got there. He felt like he were floating in a fog of confusion.

Then, in the corner of your eye, he noticed Jungkook standing by his bedside. He looked down a with concern as Taehyung groaned and tried to sit up. The medical equipment and wires around him made it difficult to move, and Jungkook placed a reassuring hand on your shoulder.

"Just relax, okay? You don't need to get up right now. Stay still," he said in a soft voice.

Then Jungkook walked into the fresh room and turned on the tap, letting the cool water run over his hands, washing them of the hospital's scent. He couldn't stop thinking about Taehyung. Their past, how they met for the first time, it all came back to him.

It was a starlit night, and Jungkook was sitting in a gay bar with a drink in his hands, watching the other patrons come and go.

 Suddenly, he noticed a cute boy, sitting alone at a nearby table, The young man drank excessively, downing glass after glass of alcohol.


Jungkook couldn't stand seeing him ruin his health like that, so he approached the boy. "You shouldn't drink too much," he said softly, taking the glass from the boy's hand.

The boy didn't resist and let Jungkook take the glass from him. But as Jungkook tried to leave, the boy started crying. Jungkook was confused, and he asked, "Why are you crying?"

 "My mother tried to arrange a blind date for me with one of her friends' daughters," Taehyung sniffed. "But when I met the girl, I couldn't go through with it. I confessed to her that I was gay & the girl informed my parents...and then my mother and stepfather had gotten furious. They had beaten me severely''

Jungkook decided to sit down beside and try to cheer him up and he got to know his name, and where he was reading and other information.

Jungkook couldn't help but notice how drunk Taehyung was. He wouldn't normally share such personal information with a stranger, but something about Taehyung seemed different - like he was desperate for someone to talk to. Jungkook offered to help and took him inside the bar's private room area, telling him that he would make sure he was safe.

As Taehyung lay on the bed, he clinged onto Jungkook's arm for support, his eyes unfocused and his words slurring. He kept asking Jungkook to stay with him, his voice getting more and more desperate as the minutes passed. "Please... don't leave me alone. I just want someone to love me, even if it's just for tonight."...

Jungkook didn't know what to do. He wanted to help, but he wasn't sure if he was ready for the emotions that would come with getting that involved. But then he looked at Taehyung, lying there so vulnerable and hurt, and he knew that he couldn't just leave him
