The Roots of Love

Chapter 12

The next few days went along with taehyung staying with Namjoon. Today was the day before weekend. Tae ,Jimin and Ami were happy because they decided to hangout. They asked Jin to join them but Jin declined saying he had some important stuff to do.

So right now Jimin , Ami and Tae were sitting in a famous cafe  talking about Jin."Have you guys noticed that Jin is behaving a little weird these days " Ami started to which both Tae and Jimin nodded. "Yahh he seems quite distant and always looking at his phone " Jimin said. Tae hummed thinking something.

"Tae what is going on in that little head of yours " Jimin asked when he saw Tae was lost in his thoughts.

"Huhh ohh nothing just thinking about something" Tae said. What are you thinking about" Ami asked. Tae was about to reply when his gaze went towards the couple that just entered in the cafe.

Tae looked at the couple with wide eyes and parted lips. Ami and Jimin were confused seeing Tae like this. They looked towards the way Tae was looking and they both got shocked like tae. Because the couple who just entered was none other than Jin and Namjoon.

Tae ,Ami and Jimin were sitting at the farthest corner that's why Jin and Namjoon didn't notice them. They sat on the table opposite to them and started talking casually while the trio perked up their ears to hear what they were talking about.

"I'm glad that you gave me a chance. You know I was so nervous that you would reject me" Namjoon said holding Jin's hand making him blush. "Why would I reject you when I've been crushing on you since the time I saw you first" Jin said smiling softly.

Hearing this Namjoon smiled widely showing his dimples. Staring at Jin he stated "You know when Tae said that you also like me I was on cloud 9 thinking that my crush also like me back."

"Now aren't you being too blunt" Jin raised an eyebrow. Namjoon scratched his nape and said "Well I'm just happy that you accepted my courting offer and now you're mine" and winked at Jin.

Jin and Namjoon were so engrossed in themselves that they didn't noticed that three pair of eyes were gawking at that.

"Am I dreaming or you guys also seeing and hearing what I'm seeing and hearing?" Jimin asked still in shock. "You're not dreaming jiminie. We are also seeing the same thing " Ami said nodding to herself. "I knew that Joon hyung likes Jin hyung and same with Jin hyung but I didn't knew that these two will be so fast" Tae said to which Ami and Jimin looked at him questioningly.

"What don't look at me like that. Joon hyung had asked me Jin hyungs number and when I asked why he said that he had a crush on him and wanted to talk to him" Tae explained. Both Ami and jimin's mouth formed and 'O' shape.

After talking and enjoying their time Jin and Namjoon went out of the cafe. Seeing them leaving the trio just smiled. "I'm glad that they are together now" Tae said to which Jimin and Ami agreed.

The three spend quality time together with shopping and movie. It was evening when they decided to call it a day. Tae was walking alongside a river. The cold breeze made his hair bounce. He sat on a bench near the river and admired the view. The weather was cold and the sky was cloudy. It looked like it would rain anytime. But Tae didn't care he sat there enjoying himself.

Soon the rain started to pour and Tae was simply enjoying the rain droplets falling on him. He again started to walk in the rain. He started to humm a song and move along with the beat without caring about his surrounding.

He was so into himself that he didn't noticed the pair of eyes that was staring at him from the car standing at the roadside. Jungkook was returning back to his apartment after finishing a board meeting in the uni. While driving he saw Tae walking in the rain so he stopped his car and stared at him.

He saw how gorgeous Tae was looking when the raindrops poured on him. He saw how Tae's body was moving along like a melody. He got lost in Tae's alluring features.

Tae was humming when he saw something when he felt he stepped on something. When he looked down he saw a shiny pendant. He ducked down and picked up the pendant. But as soon as he touched the pendant he froze. His eyes went wide and he started shaking badly. His breath got uneven. He started having a panic attack.

Jungkook who was watching him all along came running to him without minding the rain drenching him seeing his condition. "Hey taehyung hey what happened" Jungkook asked taehyung holding him when he saw he was shaking badly and having trouble breathing. "I c-can't br-breathe" Tae stutterd. Jungkook immediately hugged the boy while rubbing his palm on his back to calm him.

"Calm down it's fine everythings fine breath with me" Jungkook tried to calm Tae down. Tae followed his instructions while breathing heavily. "You're doing good just focus on my voice."

After sometime Tae calmed down and his breathing got even. He looked from Jungkook's chest who was looking at him worriedly. He felt his vision getting blurry and he lost conscious in kook's arms. "Hey taehyung wake up hey" Jungkook patted Tae's cheeks to wake him up but nothing helped. He was getting worried.

So he picked up taehyung in his arms and went to his car. Settling Tae on the passenger sit Jungkook hopped on the driver sit and went to his apartment.

After arriving in his apartment Jungkook gently laid Tae on his bed and turned on the heater to provide heat as Tae's body was extremely cold due to the rain.

He looked at taehyungs wet clothes hesitant debating whether he should change his cloth or not. But seeing his condition he decided to change his cloth. He first wiped Tae with towel and brought a pain of hoodie and sweatpants. He closed his eyes and with much difficulty changed the boys clothes.

When he again checked on Tae he found that the boy was burning in fever. So he started taking care of him and keeping a wet cloth on his forehead to reduce the fever. After a few hours of the constant wiping Tae's fever went down.

So Kook kept the cloth back and went to eat something. He also made some soup for Tae just in case he wakes up at night and slept on the couch.

It was midnight when Tae started murmuring in his sleep. He was sweating badly. "No" Tae shouted and sat up with a jerk and frantically looked around. When he saw he was in an unfamiliar room he started panicking.

Jungkook woke up at the shout of Tae and saw him panicking. He got worried and immediately went to Tae and hug him. Feeling the warm hug Tae also wrapped his arms around Jungkook's torso hiding his face on the well built chest and started sobbing.

"Plea-please s-save m-me. Th-they will-l take me a-away" Tae was hiccuping. Jungkook hugged him tightly and started whispering sweet nothings in a soothing voice.
