Jimin hurried to the car, his mind a whirlwind of anxiety. As the driver navigated through the city streets, Jimin couldn't help but think about the wonderful day he had with Taehyung and how fast his peace ended. The guilt of leaving him like that weighed heavily on his heart but Jungkook needed him more. Jimin's heart ached. But right now, he couldn't help but be concerned about just Jungkook. He wanted to be next to him. He wants to be see him.

Back at the penthouse, Jimin rushed inside to find Jungkook resting on the couch, his right hand in a cast and a cold compress on his cheek. Jin was there, looking worried but relieved to see Jimin.

"Jungkook fainted after a surgery and has a high fever. He hit his head in the fall. But, no worries, he is fine. Just this tiny wound here in his head," Jin explained.

Jimin's eyes filled with tears as he knelt beside Jungkook, taking his hand gently. "Jungkook Hyung, I'm so sorry. I should have been there. I... I didn't really see the calls because I forgot to turn the silent mode off after the exam. I am so sorry."

Jungkook gave him a weak smile. "It's okay, Jimin. I'm glad you're here now."

Jin patted Jimin's shoulder. "He needs rest and care. I'm sure he'll be okay with you by his side. Don't beat yourself. I'm off. I just received an emergency call. Bye guys. Take care of him Jimin-ah"

Jimin nodded, his throat tight with emotion. "Thank you, Jin hyung."

As Jin left, Jimin turned his full attention to Jungkook, who was trying to sit up. "No, don't move. Just rest," Jimin insisted, gently pressing Jungkook back against the cushions.

Jungkook chuckled softly, wincing slightly. "You worry too much, little Jimin. I'm a freaking surgeon. I'll be fine."

Jimin's eyes filled with tears as he caressed Jungkook's cheek. "I can't help it. Seeing you like this... it scares me. It reminds me of that day when I lost her... I hate it when something like this happens."

Jungkook reached up, brushing away a tear that had escaped down Jimin's cheek. "Hey, I'm here, aren't I? I'm not going anywhere."

Jimin took a deep breath, his heart aching with a mixture of care and fear. "I need to take care of you, Jungkook Hyung. Let me do that. Please, alpha?"

Jungkook nodded, his gaze softening. "Okay, my omega. I'll let you take care of me."

"Tell me you aced that test of yours." Jungkook asked. Last night he had seen the omega studying multiple books at the same time and he himself taught him some of the topics. So, the teacher in turn deserves to know about his student's test. The student who was oh-so-obedient, attentive and according to Jungkook the best.

"I did" he smiled, supporting Jungkook to stand up.

For the first time, Jimin stepped inside Jungkook's room to tend to him. The room was spacious and elegantly decorated, with a large bed in the centre and a cozy sitting area by the windows. As Jimin helped Jungkook to the bed, he noticed a huge framed photograph hanging on the wall opposite the bed. It was a picture from their wedding day. In the photo, Jungkook looked radiant, his smile wide and genuine. Jimin, on the other hand, had a forced smile, his eyes betraying the unease he had felt that day.

The sight of the picture stirred a whirlwind of emotions within Jimin. He had always been conflicted about their marriage. While he had grown fond of Jungkook, the feelings of attachment that were blossoming within him were both comforting and terrifying. They both have this comfortable bond and he truly cared for the elder.
