A fluffy mattress, a comfy duvet, a dark room, a fluffy pillow, the low sound of air conditioner in the background, and a warm body hugging him.

These are the only things he needed to live a happy life.

And well, he was getting all of them.

He had a small smile on his lips as he let out a contented sigh in his sleep.

He was dreaming of the above mentioned things, not aware that he actually had them at the moment.

Jungkook's body was spooning him completely as he back hugged him. Taehyung's body looked so tiny in his hold and fit into his body so perfectly like a puzzle.

"Hm." Taehyung let out another contented hum and slowly opened his eyes with a dazed smile, still stuck in his 'that's all I want' dream. "That's all I want."

He murmured to himself and his own voice pulled him out of his sleepy state. His eyes suddenly opened wide looking at the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Bro... What-"

He turned his head around, trying to find out where he actually was, and when his mind registered that place as a hospital room,

...everything came crashing down on him at once.

Every struggle, every hardship, every pain that he and Jungkook went through in the past few days, everything came crashing down on him.

And when he felt an arm around his waist and a body behind his, he turned his head and saw that face... his face.

And looking at him, more depressing things came into his mind.

Jungkook's injury.

A sudden sob escaped his lips which stirred the other person awake.

Jungkook opened his eyes with much difficulty with a groan of pain. His droopy eyes fell on the person beside him on the bed, back facing him.

Taehyung.

A small, involuntary smile appeared on his lips as he registered the boy's presence.

But as he felt his body shaking with sobs, his smile converted into a frown.

"Taehyung?!" He called the boy out, kept his hand on his arm.

Taehyung stiffened.

"Are you crying?! Are you hurt?!" Jungkook asked with a deep frown on his forehead.

Taehyung closed his eyes, pretended to sleep.

"Taehyung?" No response.

"I know you aren't asleep!" He pulled Taehyung towards himself, cupped his jawline and forced him to turn his head.

And a small gasp left his lips as he saw the tears rolling down Taehyung's cheeks, his eyes still closed.

"Taehyung," He whispered, caressed the said boy's cheek with his thumb softly. "What's wrong, love?"

He didn't realise the word he uttered just now, but Taehyung's heart surely realised the word, started beating fast as he opened his eyes slowly.

"Jungkook." He whispered as their eyes met. They kept looking each other deep in the eyes, as if they were able to see each other's soul.

As if they were absorbing each other's soul.

As if they were stealing each other's soul.

And giving it a home in theirs.
