Tidiness never existed in Jeon Jungkook or Kim Taehyung's dictionary.

Clothes are thrown out of the closet, only picked up when the closet becomes completely empty. Pillows are kicked out of the bed every night, some finding their way to Jungkook's bed while some to Taehyung's. Food brought out of the fridge never found its way back inside, until the trash can is too filled to hold any more expired content.

The medium-sized two bedroom apartment is always chaotic and messy, despite the fact that only two people live under the roof. However, that never stopped the boys from loving their home and eagerly coming back every night.

Whether they were sprawled on the couch at 2 am in the morning munching on bowls of ice cream and cookies, or whether just like now they were lying on one bed and dealing with the consequences of their mess; neither of them would ever go for a better, organized life outside of their apartment.

"Jeongguk, try to sleep." Taehyung groaned for the fifth time that night, as he turned over to face the sight of his best friend tightly wrapping his arms around his stomach, with a pained expression on his face.

He got no response back, only another sob escaped the younger's mouth. Taehyung reached out and ran his hands through Jungkook's messy locks as gently as his sleepy body allowed him to.

Louder sobs escaped Jungkook's mouth, until the point that his hands gripped the bed sheets so tight that his knuckles were almost bloodless.

"Tae....It..hurts..." he cried out, his face red all over.

Taehyung sighed and got up before mumbling, " I swear if I ever see you swallowing another drop of banana milk without checking the expired date,"

He trailed off as he put on his flip flops and climbed down the stairs, The buttons of his pajamas irregular and some torn as well. He opened the fridge and managed to grab a bottle of cold ice water, an ice bag and a bottle containing one tablet at the end., before running back upstairs again.

He sat down on his bed, and patted Jungkook's arm slowly.

"Gguk, I got the pills."

Jungkook sat up beside him, sniffing and rubbing his eyes with his fingers before swallowing the pill with the ice cold water and collapsing into the bed right away.

Taehyung wrapped the ice bag into a towel before placing it in front of Jungkook's stomach, and covering them with a blanket before he slid down between the covers.

Few minutes passed, as Jungkook's sobs filled the otherwise quiet room before eventually stopping.

He turned around towards Taehyung and scooted closer before saying, "The banana mils were not expired, I checked them."

Tae raised his eyebrows and asked "Then what made you sick?"

Jungkook giggled, his voice deeper than usual due to his crying, "I ate your strawberry cake too."

Taehyung chuckled gladly, partly because he could see his best friend smiling after a long night and partly because he knew Jungkook lied about the cake so he could eat more banana milks tomorrow.

"Well I guess you owe me a treat then?"

"Considering the fact that I am the only one out of two of us that was not named The Boy Who Is Banned From The Kitchen, I guess yeah."
