'so your lunch menu is grilled chicken salad, brown rice and clean vegetable soup. Doctor made the menu list.'' Taehyung reads this to jungkook from his phone. Jungkook is sitting on the bed, leaning to the headboard of the bed with his head hang low. Rising head is too difficult for him now.
''do you have any objection?'' taehyung asks again. But of course he doesn't care if jungkook has objection or not. He is still going to make it.
Jungkook shakes his head as no.
''your clothes and other necessary stuff are here. I'm going to make lunch for so. So do you need anything? Like using washroom?''
''I need to bath.'' jungkook answers with a timid voice.
''you can't bath. doctor said you can't bath till you are healthy like before.'' Taehyung says.
Jungkook looks up to taehyung and stares at him for a few moments. ''I'm not asking you to help me. You can call my mom.'' Jungkook.
Taehyung feels embarrassed. He actually lied because he doesn't want to bath jungkook. But jungkook caught him.
''no.. it's not like that.. I can of course help you.'' Taehyung says trying to hide his lie. He just can't ask his mother in law to bath his husband. it will look bad. He is jungkook's wife and taking care of jungkook is his responsibility.
''it's okay tae-taehyung ssi. I understand you. Please call my mom.'' Jungkook says.
''okay.'' taehyung says feeling relieved and walks out of the room.
He starts looking for his mother in law and finds her inside her room talking with her husband.
''do you need anything taehyung?'' dara asks seeing taehyung standing on her doorsteps.
''mother, your son wants to bath and is asking for you.'' Taehyung says.
''alright let's go. He once told me earlier that he was feeling dizzy. So he will fill better after a bath.'' dara says and walks out of her room followed by taehyung. She understands both taehyung and jungkook's problem. They aren't close and sudden close contact can make them awkward.
''Are you feeling okay son?'' dara asks as she enters inside taehyung's room.
Jungkook once looks at his mother and closes his eyes. ''help me to bath.'' he says.
''yeah- taehyung told me. Taehyung, dear you need to help me. I know you both aren't close. But you need to understand the situation okay dear? Please try to be free up now. your husband needs you most.'' She says looking at taehyung who nods his head shyly. He is embarrassed.
''and son, don't be uncomfortable around your wife. He will help you whenever you need. Don't be formal. He is your wife.'' She says to jungkook and starts taking his clothes off.
Taehyung looks away not wanting to see his husband's body. But dara notices him and chuckles. ''come on taehyung! He is your husband. Why are you looking away?''
As she says taehyung feels like dying in embarrassment. How can she talks things like this so casually. He looks at jungkook for a second and finds the man smiling a bit embarrassingly. Oh god, even this man is embarrassed too!
