He wasn't here with me. I needed him, so bad.

My head was killing me and the tears wouldn't stop. I was alone, and maybe that was for the best.

I broke down again, my small form huddled up in the corner of the lukewarm bath. It seemed like someone had turned the water tab on and I couldn't close it. Water spilled over the edge.

I didn't know for how long I had been there, pulling at my hair, wiping at my red cheeks furiously, my cries echoing throughout the bathroom. I broke down again, there was no helping it.

One of these days could be my last and I didn't know which, it was a horrible feeling.

My body grew so weak I couldn't lift a finger, my sobs died down, my arms hung besides me in the cold water. I was just staring ahead of me, at the lavender coloured water, purple was one of my favourite colours. Or was it?

I didn't know anymore. I couldn't feel anything. My eyes fell shut every few seconds and I couldn't stop them.

I just wanted to sleep.

I felt like someone had screwed my throat shut. I tried to claw at it, but my arms couldn't move. They were so heavy.

Everything was so heavy.

There was nothing but blackness around me, like I was blind. The feeling was unsettling.

Then it felt like something was pushed in me. The drowning like feeling disappeared quickly and I hacked up whatever was inside me. My eyes shot open and the blackness disappeared.

Jungkook's face was the first thing I saw.

I was coughing violently, my entire body shocking with it. My throat hurt, as did my chest. By the time I had calmed down a bit, things grew heavy again.

"W-wha-?" I couldn't even finish my sentence, as tired as I was.

"Jesus hyung, you scared the shit out of me" I suddenly recognised tears rolling down Jungkook's cheeks. I frowned.

"You nearly drowned" his voice cracked. I frowned. Right, I was taking a bath.

"What would've happened if I wasn't there hyung?" Jungkook's arm tightened around me. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't seem to move my mouth.

"I was so scared hyung" He sobbed. It took all my strength to slowly lift my arm and place a hand on his cheek. He nuzzled against it, holding my hand there with his own.

"I love you Taehyung" he whispered. My eyes closed again.

When I woke up again, my body was incredibly hot, but it was so cold. My throat felt like something was clawing at its inside and my head was killing me.

My breaths were shallow and ragged. I tried to open my voice and call for Jungkook, but all that came out was a scratchy noise and a couple of coughs. It hurt.

"Tae?" Jungkook walked inside the moment I was full on spasming and coughing like I was choking. He quickly ran to my side and made me sit up.

I coughed again, this time blood came with and the beige bedsheets were stained by the crimson substance. I tried to stop, but I couldn't.

When it did stop I leant against Jungkook weakly, who put a hand against my forehead and quickly pulled it away again.

"Shit, You're burning up" His eyes shot open. With a move he lifted me up in his arms and walked downstairs quickly, grabbing the phone off the table.

He laid me down on the couch and dialled a number. He waited a few seconds before someone had picked up, and he immediately spoke.

"Baekhyun, bring the car, Taehyung has to go to the hospital, he's coughing blood. Hurry up." With that he ended the call.

He quickly went to grab a small wet towel and wiped away the sweat and then the blood around my mouth. It had been dripping down my. Chin and onto my neck, staining my clothes with the red liquid.

A knock sounded from the door and Jungkook stood up to open it.

"Hey-"

"Not now hyung! Where's Baekhyun" Jungkook interrupted the person.

"Yah! Don't speak to your hyung like that" I could barely recognise the person as Jin. Everything around me grew hazier by the minute.

"Not fucking now!" Jungkook yelled. I heard a car horn and soon I was picked up, carried outside, past a shocked Jin. I was put in the backseat with Jungkook and Jin besides me.

"Jesus what happened?" Baekhyun questioned.

"Y-yesterday he was taking a bath and nearly drowned, like I had told you Baek, and now he came running a fever and was coughing up blood" Jungkook hastily said. Baekhyun had already stepped on the gas and drove way over the speed limit, but no one cared at the moment.

My eyes were focused on Jungkook's face only, growing hazy ever so often, before refocusing to see his beautiful sharp features.

He had always been the handsome one, his sharp jawline, his bunny teeth, his captivating eyes, his lips. How I had yearned for those lips all this time. And the time I got to enjoy them was so short.

I was so lost in thoughts and memories that I didn't notice him picking me up and walking into the hospital. I could only focus on his face, my eyes following his every move lazily.

I was so tired.

"Suh-leep" My throat was hoarse and it felt like I was unable to form any proper words.

"You can't go to sleep now Taehyung, you can't!" Jungkook warned me.

But it was already too late.
