Chapter 9: The Family Bond

Jungkook carried the unconscious Taehyung in his arms, his strides long and purposeful as he made his way to his home. The door burst open, and Jin, Namjoon, Jimin, and Yoongi rushed out, their faces etched with worry and fear.

"Jungkook, what happened?" Jin asked, his voice trembling as he took in the sight of Taehyung's limp form.

"He...he was hit by a car," Jungkook replied, his voice cracking with emotion. "I saved him, but...he won't wake up."

Jin, quickly stepped forward, his hands glowing with a soft, white light. He placed his fingers on Taehyung's forehead, closing his eyes in concentration.

After a moment, Jin's eyes opened, and he smiled reassuringly. "There's nothing to worry about, Jungkook. He's just fainted from shock and exhaustion. He'll be fine."

The others breathed a collective sigh of relief as Jungkook's hold on Taehyung relaxed, his face still etched with worry but a hint of hope creeping in.

"Thank the gods," Namjoon whispered, his eyes closed in gratitude.

Jimin and Yoongi nodded in agreement, their faces still concerned but relieved.

Jungkook looked down at Taehyung, his eyes filled with tears. "I was so scared, Jin. I thought I lost him."

Jin placed a gentle hand on Jungkook's shoulder. "You saved him, Jungkook. And we'll help him through this. Together."

Jin smiled softly. "Jungkook, let him sleep. He needs rest."

Jungkook nodded, his eyes never leaving Taehyung's face. He gently laid Taehyung on his bed, his hands tenderly arranging the blankets around him.

As he turned to leave, Taehyung's held his hand , "Don't go, Kookie...don't leave me..."

Jungkook's heart melted at the whispered words. He sat down beside Taehyung, his fingers intertwining with his. "I'm here, Tae...I'm here, love. I'm not going anywhere."

Taehyung's grip relaxed, his hand falling limp as he succumbed to sleep. Jungkook watched him for a moment, his eyes drinking in the sight of Taehyung's peaceful face.

Then, he lay down beside him, his arms wrapping around Taehyung in a gentle embrace. "I'll stay right here, Tae...always."

As he closed his eyes, Jungkook felt Taehyung's hand stir, his fingers curling around Jungkook's once more. And with that, they both fell into a deep, dreamless sleep while hugging eachother.

After some time -

Jin entered the room, a soft smile on his face as he checked on the two. His eyes widened with joy as he took in the sight before him. Jungkook and Taehyung were still fast asleep, their arms wrapped around each other like their lives depended on it.

Jin's heart swelled with happiness. He had never seen Jungkook so at peace, so full of love and devotion. And Taehyung, his little brother, was finally safe, finally protected in the arms of his mate.

Behind Jin, Namjoon stood frozen, his eyes fixed on the scene before him. His face was a mix of shock and happiness, his heart overflowing with joy. His baby brother, his precious Taehyung, was sleeping peacefully in Jungkook's arms, a smile on his face.

Namjoon's eyes prickled with tears as he took in the sight. He had been so worried about Taehyung, so scared for his safety. But now, seeing him in Jungkook's arms, he knew his brother was exactly where he was meant to be.

Jin turned to Namjoon, a knowing glint in his eye. "They're meant to be, Namjoon. They're each other's home."

Namjoon nodded, his throat choked with emotion. "They are. And we'll make sure they stay that way, always."
