Jungkook couldn't bring himself to ask Taehyung about it later the same night. The image of the elder crying whilst writing made his heart break. It couldn't possibly be because of something like a book he was writing on. If only a few tears, yes, but Taehyung was crying. He looked miserable.

Seeing his husband like that made up his mind: he was going to learn Braille.

"Are you hungry?" Jungkook asked when Taehyung was finally exiting the office. He looked really tired and he was red around his eyes.

The elder seemed shocked by Jungkook's presence; he fished out his mini clock Jungkook had bought for him and pressed the button on top. "12:41 am," it said in a high-pitched lady voice.

"You're still up?" he asked surprised.

Jungkook stood up and approached closer. "I'm not going to bed whilst you're still up," he said.

Taehyung took a step back, slightly frowning. "Why not? You're not my baby sitter. I can stay up for as long as I want without you keeping an eye on me."

Jungkook sighed frustrated. Here we go again. "Hyung, I'm not staying up to keep an eye on you." Taehyung didn't seem interested enough to keep the conversation going on as he made his way to the bathroom, but Jungkook followed along. "You're right, I'm not your babysitter," he said, "I'm your husband for God's sake! Aren't I allowed to worry about you? Wanting to make sure you're okay?"

Taehyung turned roughly around, surprising the younger. "Do you think I can't take care of myself?" he barked back, looking real pissed. "I'm sick and tired of your childish games now Jungkook. Go to bed." Just who are you calling childish? Jungkook thought to himself with a frown, but he didn't want to make their conversation turn into a fight, and he just went to the bedroom and let his body drop on top of the bed.

Every time Jungkook just wanted what's best for his husband, he always turned him down or took it as an insult. Why did their conversations always turn into a fight? Jungkook longed for sweet conversations, sweet moments.

Jungkook tried to remember when they last kissed. When was that exactly? It has been at least weeks, but he couldn't remember exactly when. That's not good, he thought with a frown, aren't newlyweds supposed to be all lovingly and clingy to each other? The two of them were definitely the exact opposite, and it hurt Jungkook. Did Taehyung regret the decision of they getting married? Did he stop loving Jungkook?

The elder entered the room quietly and lay on the bed without saying anything. Jungkook decided he'd just pretend he'd fallen asleep so the elder wouldn't be upset anymore, although he didn't get why he was in the first place. He was so irritable lately and got pissed at every sound he heard. It literally felt like Jungkook was living with an annoyed and grumpy grandpa that hated life.

Jungkook couldn't fall asleep that night. All he could think of was about Taehyung, and the questions that didn't stop spinning around in his head.

The male quietly escaped the bed and walked towards Taehyung's office. He searched in one of the bookshelves where he found what he was looking for. He opened the book that was written an explanation to how on to read Braille. Jungkook was sure he'd learn it faster than Taehyung did as he still had his sight, which helped a lot to learn in a short time.

Although he didn't learn it perfectly by the night, it was enough to read on the paper his husband had been writing on that day, whilst checking the book to make sure it was the right letter.
