One Day - TK

Take 6

If there was anything worse that can happen to Jungkook other than a terrible hangover headache in the morning, it will be a clingy Kim Taehyung.

Lying on the hard and cold floor, with the disgustingly loud background snores of Yoongi and Jimin echoing through his ears, and not to mention the sack of fluff lying almost entirely on top of him, the smaller,slender arms and legs wrapped around his broad frame.

Jungkook groaned in discomfort and turned around , the weight of the elder falling off in an instant, followed by a loud whine in response.

"Gguk"

Jungkook was in no state to argue so he stretched his hand to find anything harmless to throw at the elder, and when he found none, he used his leg to kick whatever landed in front of it.

"Ouch! That was my bum you prick!"

"Stop talking" Jungkook grumbled

"Snuggle with me." That was a demand. "Or I'll cry again."

"Tae i cant open my eyes for fuck's sake!" Jungkook replied, his head ache getting the best of him. Silence followed immediately, and the younger sighed in relief, although a part of him felt bad because he knows how much the older craves cuddling.

Few seconds passed, and Jungkook found a tiny arm snaking through his waist and a dry peck fell on the exposed skin of his nape.

"M' Sorry." the elder mumbled, his lips moving against the younger's skin. "Just wanted to cuddle."

Jungkook could literally feel the pout on the other's lips and this did not make his headache any better. He turned around and scooped the figure in his arms, nuzzling into his hair.

"My head got the best of me." Jungkook apologised, eyes closed as another peck landed on his clothed chest.

                                          ******************************************

"Tae for God's sake you don't need an hour to wash yourself, you know!" Jungkook yelled while sitting on top of his best friend's messy bed as he called the elder in the bathroom.

"I changed my mind..I need to shower Gguk." came Taehyung's reply.

"Oh yeah? You got a wedding tomorrow?" Jungkook asked sarcastically as he started to blow dry his messy wet hair using one of Taehyung's old, temporary hair dryers which works once in a blue moon, including today.

"You think Jin hyung would feed me if he comes to know that i haven't washed my hair for a whole week?" Taehyung asked from the bathroom, as he squeezed every last remaining drop from the shampoo bottle into his hands.

Jungkook sighed " Make it quick..Mix the shampoo with water or something cause I'm starving you know?"

Taehyung hurriedly grabbed the empty container and poured the shampoo and mixed it with enough water and splashed the content on his head before he started spreading it furiously over every nook and cranny of his hair.

He did not care enough to notice the drops of water filled shampoo that slipped down his forehead, then onto his eyebrows and...

Shit...

His eyes

He squeezed his eyes shut and covered them with his hands at an instant, panic rushing through his body. He did not think twice before he blindly moved forward to grab a towel, not caring about the slippery shampoo on the floor and

Boom

"Ahh!" he exclaimed as the sharp pain ran through his ass, and he can swear to God that if there is any bone there, it is this much close to be broken. Tears of pain and panic of leaving his best friend starving and mad rushed through him, and before long enough, a sob escaped his mouth.

And another one.

And another one.

Before there was a knock at the door.

"You having a mood swing over there?" Jungkook asked, but Taehyung grew old enough to realize that his joke contained more concern than anything else can.

"Ggukkie! It hurts" the elder spoke while crying hysterically, the sharp pain in his eyes killing him and leaving no crumbs.

"You fell down or something?" Jungkook asked, now concern evident in his deep, alcoholic voice.

" And shampoo got in my eye. It stings." the elder sobs again.

"Tae, adjust yourself, unlock the door. You can do it, slow steps, crawl if you need to." Jungkook spoke softly.

Tae sobbed loudly and shook his head from inside the bathroom "Can't Gguk it hurts so much."

"Tae if you don't open the door, how can I help you If I can't reach you yeah?" Jungkook tried convincing him again, though he was pretty fucked up himself not knowing what to do.

Taehyung sighed, and reached his hand forward to the floor, eyes squeezed shut and red and puffy as he crawled slowly with his hands and legs and reached to the door and unlocked the door and peeked his head , even though everything was black and painful. A warm, gentle and firm pair of hands picked him up, and the next moment Taehyung was engulfed into the warm embrace of his best friend and his wet, slippery self landed on the soft cushions of his mattress.

"Look at me Tae, slowly." Jungkook whispered as he softly dried the wet face with his towel. The elder shook his head, as more tears escaped from his eyes. "It will sting Gguk."

"I turned off the lights Tae, slowly, come on, you can do it for me yeah?" Jungkook tried again, but with no success.

"Ok wait."And Taehyung was picked up again, his arms and legs wrapped around the younger as they came down the stairs and the elder was placed on the kitchen counter.

"I'll get some ice and eye drops from the fridge okay?" Jungkook whispered softly as he picked some ice cubes from the fridge and gently ran them through the closed eyelids of the elder.

"Try opening them now, yeah? Or should I turn off the lights here as well?" Jungkook asked again, in his soft, gentle and caring tone which hit Taehyung like a sword.

Something about this boy is different.

Something about them being so intimidating, even though Taehung could not see anything, he could feel his best friend's breath, soft yet firm gaze and firm hold. They were always like this, right? Always sticking to each other and holding and touching each other. Always caressing each other's wounds.

"Tae?" A soft voice whispered, and before Taehyung could even register what was happening, a soft and warm pair of lips gently kissed his eyelashes, too tender and loose to even feel them properly.

His best friend can kiss his hurting eyes, right?

He thought as he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were red because of the shampoo, but Taehyung did not recognize what made his cheeks red at that moment. Was it because he was only in his boxers in front of his best friend? But havent they always been this way? Won't they always be this way in the future?

They will, right? They will be best friends forever. But this thought did not satisfy Taheyung, for the first time in his life. Taehyung craved for something more, something more deep and more promising and more chrishing. More beautiful. More memorable and more exciting.

Looking into those doey, concerned eyes of his best friend, and leaning to the firm, but gentle grip of hands on his face, came the moment when KimTaehyung realized.

He fell,

Not on top of the bathroom floor this time,

But for his best friend, his maknae, Jeon Jungkook.
