-💔-

Restlessness has become a part of Taehyung's life. He doesn't understand why he is still not feeling well. It has been a week since he was sick, he is well now. His temperature is normal and fever hasn't reappeared at all but his throat is still a bit sore and there are times when his body just hurts randomly. He has been taking medicines and even went to a doctor. Nothing seems to work.

“It's the stress, Taehyung. Your entire life you have always been busy doing something rather it be your studies or your job. Now you don't have it, you don't know what to do with yourself.” Jeongguk told him this and Taehyung brushed him off. Not taking him seriously.

But no matter how much he tries to deny it, his husband was right. He has been just restless ever since he left his job. After he got done with his fever, he has now been having a hard time sleeping. He is tossing and turning more than half of the night. Taehyung gets only three to four hours of sleep daily, if he's lucky he would be able to sleep for a good seven hours but that has become rare.

He doesn't know how to tackle this situation. What can he do about this? should he get in touch with his family therapist? He had some sessions with her when he broke up with his first love but then never again. Maybe it is time he books another appointment with her.

Taehyung got out of his room in the middle of the night, it was three am and his entire place was so quiet. He was pacing around the lounge to get tired. He took out his phone and went to the therapist's website to book a session with her. It is almost impossible to have a session with her immediately because she is quite famous around families like theirs but since she has been in touch with Taehyung's family ever since his mother passed away she has basically become a close family friend.

So he quickly books a session without worrying about getting an appointment a month or two later, knowing well that the second she reads his name, he would be called as soon as possible. That doesn't help him right now though. His pacing around the lounge had seemed to cause a commotion as he heard Jeongguk's bedroom door open.

He sees a confused and sleepy Jeongguk walk out in just sweatpants. He ruffles his own hair with his eyes squinting, falling right on Taehyung who was staring back at him. Taehyung tried not to stare at him shamelessly in the middle of his little moment. It was hard not to when he looked that good right out of bed.

“Taehyung? What are you doing up so late at night? it's almost four am, you do know that right?” Jeongguk asks him, his hands inside his pants pockets as he walks over to him.

“Yeah. I…can't sleep.” Taehyung confesses to him, looking down on the floor.

“Again? you are still bothered aren't you? is there anything I can do to help?” Jeongguk asks him, Grabbing his chin to make him face him.

“No…I don't think so. I am sorry for waking you up, I didn't mean to.”

“I am fine, I am worried about you though. You have even gotten eye bags from how bad your sleeping schedule has gotten.” Jeongguk says as he traces his thumb under his eyes. “How about this…I will sleep next to you. I have noticed whenever we are- I mean whenever you sleep next to someone you sleep well. Of Course the whole hugging thing too.  you can do all that I don't mind. Just don't want you pacing around.” Jeongguk suggests to him.

“No, I don't want to disturb you Jeongguk-”

“-Nonsense, I don't mind sleeping next to you. I also like company in bed.” Jeongguk winks at him, making the latter chuckle. “So, Let's just go,okay? I will get my phone from my room and come to your room so we can sleep together.” Jeongguk patted his shoulder twice and gave him a smile that melted Taehyung's heart.
