I won't rest until I see Jungkook with my own eyes and make sure he is fine and by how Sanha described he is anything but fine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taehyung's pov 

It took me ten minutes to reach my jet, 2 hours to land in Korea and another thirty minutes to reach Jungkook's apartment.

It was sure as hell plenty of time for my dread to turn into a sick feeling making my gut twist. 

'' Boss'' upon getting out of my car I was greeted by Sanha

'' How is he?'' 

'' The land lady had extra keys and by the time she got inside he was almost unconscious '' 

My stomach twisted as dread drenched my surroundings. The sick feeling in me clawed at my chest as if it was seeking escape and unless and until I see Jungkook with my own two eyes I can't fucking breathe. 

'' The doctor came to check up on him and he informed that he caught the viral flu '' Sanha filled me in 

'' How is he now? '' I ask by voice deep and jaw clenched 

'' The doctor gave him medicine to relax, he is sleeping '' 

Jungkook's apartment was small but it  was also so Jungkook. Everything was prim and arranged perfectly. The walls and the furniture were soft pastel colors a clear hint to the boy's personality. I peeked inside his bedroom and my heart sank, a cold deadly feeling I haven't felt in a long time settled in the pit of my stomach. Covered with the duvet, Jungkook laid there his skin paler than usual, his cheeks and nose were flushed indicating he was running a fever. Seeing Jungkook like this made me feel weak and helpless and I couldn't fucking figure out why?

'' What else did the doctor say? '' 

'' Apparently Jungkook has a weak immune system which means he'll need more time to recover then usual'' Sanha answered 

Fucking hell, he just went through a traumatic experience and now this. If I could I wanna shield him away in such a place no fucker could find him ever again, but who is gonna save him from me? 

The doctor already checked him up and prescribed him with medicines and if I call Jin he can come and take care of him but fuck

I want to be here for him no I need to be here for him.

Staying away from Jungkook was same as telling the ocean to stay away from the shore.

Impossible

Something about Jungkook just pulls me closer to him and I can't fucking resist it. Heat spreads from my chest like wildfire, I was weak for Jeon Jungkook and I hated it.

After I dismissed Sanha, I sat on the chair across  Jungkook's bed, I don't trust myself around him and by being here tonight I crossed the invisible line I drew for myself. But fuck was flying all the way here from Japan and giving up the chance to sign the deal with the CEO in person just to get glimpse of a sleeping Jungkook all worth it?

Abso-fucking-lutely

My breathe hitches when I see Jungkook slightly stirring on the bed, my heart beats fastens like a fucking teenage boy in love.

God damn it get a fucking hold of yourself.

I walk over to the bed and see him shifting and squirming

'' Hey sweetheart '' I softly call out 

Upon hearing my voice he opens his eyes, confusion and uncertainly with a hint of something else I couldn't pinpoint covered his brown orbs.

Was he happy to see me?

'' How are you feeling baby? '' I ask my voice soft as I kneel in front of the bed 

He blinks his eyes, as if he is trying to confirm that am actually here. I gently caress his cheeks, which are flushed with heat, his fever still hasn't gone down yet. 

'' Did you sleep well? '' I ask again confirming that he is not hallucinating due to the fever

He blinks his doe eyes again

'' Good '' he mumbles still unsure of my presence 

'' The doctor came to check on you and he said you caught the viral flu. He already prescribed you with medicines. 

Rest well sweetheart you will recover in no time '' 

He blinks at me again as if he is processing all the things I just said now.

'' The doctor gave you fever medicines but it still hasn't gone down, do you want a damp cloth? '' I ask as if I take care of sick people every day.

'' I want to bath '' he mumbles his voice hoarse but fuck it still pumps heat in my veins.

The last thing I want to do now is be here while he baths but fuck here I am.

'' Of course sweetheart, let's get you out of bed '' I slowly pull the duvet away revealing his tiny figure covered in baggy cloths and even in this state he glowed in a way that makes my heart beat faster then necessary. He slowly gets out of the bed and I go inside his washroom and turn on the faucets. After I help him in the washroom I turn to leave.

'' Can you stay ? '' he whispers 

I freeze, I don't trust myself around him and if I stay here while he baths few inches away from me I can't guarantee what I might do. I fist my hand and clench my jaw.

'' What are you suggesting sweetheart? '' I ask my voice low carrying a hint of warning which he obviously didn't notice. 

Jungkook is too pure and innocent to see and recognize true danger but me? I was a monster who wanted to consume his very existence.

'' Please '' he pleads his voice vulnerable with a hint of embarrassment 

I turn around to see him standing there, all fragile and small his face pale and the way he eyed the tub like he expected those monsters to emerge from the water and point a gun at his head. My jaw tightened again. I can turn back and leave and save myself from my obvious damnation but every muscle in my body screamed at me to go to him. He looked at me with his doe eyes. 

 Jungkook is hurt, scared, sick and vulnerable and I never wanted someone more then I want him now. 

Save yourself and fucking leave

'' Take your time baby, I'll be here '' and for the first time in my life I listened to my heart as I turned around and waited for him to undress and get in the tub.

Your fucked
