Longing // Taehyung x Idol Male Reader

Walking

_Your POV

The room was filled with the chatter of excitement. Today was the day I would get to start walking again.

It had been 11 days since I was checked in, tensions had been driven away over time.

The only thing I was anticipating more than walking was my 'talk' with Taehyung.

**

Taehyung entered my room, a smile on his face and a bag in his hand. I raised an eyebrow as he sat beside me.

"I got you a gift," He swayed the bag in front of me teasingly. I reached to grab it, the bandages no longer on my arm since the cuts had healed.

"What is it?" My hands touched the plastic, but as soon as the feeling was there, it was gone. I went to reach for it again, but he threw it under his chair.

"You'll see," He giggled. I raised my eyebrow again, quite confused. "After we have a little talk."

**

Quite frankly, it worried me.

But, I had to push it out of my thoughts because the doctor swung open the door and walked in, my cane in hand.

"Alrighty, you ready, [N]?" Dr. Lee questioned as he moved over to my bed. I huffed and pushed my legs over the side of the hospital bed.

"As I'll ever be," A smile grew on my face. I noticed cameras on me as I grabbed the cane in hand, still sitting on the bed.

I pushed myself off the bed slowly, my feet meeting the ground for the what felt like the first time.

I pushed my butt off the hospital bed and hoped my legs would carry me.

And for the first time in a week.

I stood.

"Oh my- holy shit," I gasped, as the cane shook slightly in my hand. I heard cheering but my eyes were focused on the ground and not them.

Slowly, I bent my knees, getting used to the feeling. I could feel them crack and pull on the tired muscles.

I moved my leg forward, taking one step. I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment as I proceeded to very slowly walk to the other side of my bed.
I looked up at the boys, Super was busy on his phone. Probably publishing the video of me walking.

I squealed loudly, clearly excited. Mini wrapped me in a hug, followed by Lion, Jungkook, Taehyung, and slowly everyone else drizzled in. 

After a few minutes, they let go. A stupid smile carved on my lips. 

"Well, after a few days of rehab, you should be able to walk easily," The doctor smiled. I bowed slightly, still grasping roughly on the cane. After muttering a thank you, I stood up straight. 

"Do you think I can to the cafeteria with them?" I questioned, wondering just how far I could walk. 

"Since your room is close, sure," The doctor smiled while shrugging. I smiled brightly, but he held his hand up. "But, don't push yourself." 

"I won't."

After about five minutes of me walking a path that should've taken one minute, we arrived at the cafeteria. It was my first time seeing it, seeing as how the boys would always just bring me back food. 

"Well, what do you want?" Taehyung asked beside me as he linked his right arm with my free left. 

"Kinda feeling like soup today," I smiled, looking at our interlinked arms. I shook my head slightly and looked ahead of us, using my cane tremendously to move towards the line. 

"Beef soup?" He questioned, I looked over at him and nodded. He smiled slightly and turned his head forward, letting me admire his side profile. 

I blushed slightly, realizing that I was staring, and turned my head away. Before I did so, I swear I saw a smirk on his perfect lips.

"Ah, that soup was surprisingly good," I smiled as we walked slowly down the hall. 

"It was, too bad the only time I tried it was when you spilled it on me," Taehyung chuckled from beside me, now wearing a pair of nice navy blue hospital scrubs and black sweatshirt. 

"Hey! They'll dry soon. If they stain I'll buy you another pair of ripped jeans," I slightly hit his arm with my free hand as I get more and more used to walking. 

"Okay," He speaks sarcastically, rolling his eyes. I roll mine as well and continue walking at a snail's pace. 

When we finally reach my room, a doctor is standing in the corner, I raise an eyebrow, not recognizing who it is. 

"Hi, I'm Dr. Bo. Dr. Lee had an emergency surgery to go to so I'll be taking you to physical therapy," She smiled slightly, a clipboard in hand. 

I nodded and she walked over to me. 

"I'll have him back to you in about an hour," She chirped before opening the door for me, the boys mumbled goodbyes and I exited the room. 

"Since you're able to walk now, we'll be spending a majority of the next few days working on getting you to do it alone," She held her hand in the small of my back, giving me needed support as we approached the physical therapy room. 

___Tae's POV 

I sat in the room, about an hour had passed since [N]  had been taken. I was becoming quite bored with playing Game Pigeon with Jungkook. He beat me at pool one too many times. 

"What time do we have to be back by?" I questioned, looking at Namjoon. He checked his watch and then looked back at me, shrugging. 

"We were lucky enough to get this day off, so, we could get home as late as we want," He answered, well that didn't help. 

I wanted to know how soon I could get them out so I could talk to [N]. 

I nudged Jin, who was falling asleep beside me. 

"Hey! Can't I get a little bit of sleep?" He shouted, his eyes half closed as he yelled. I chuckled and apologized. 

"How soon can I get you guys out of here?" I asked, eager to speak with [N]. The bag with his gift still residing under my chair. He smiled and stood up, stretching. All eyes flickered to him but quickly went back to their phones. 

"Let's go out and get a snack, guys. I'm hungry," He spoke loudly, in a sternness that allowed no questions. "Taehyung, stay here to wait for [N]." 

I fake pouted before nodding, "Bring me back something to eat." 

He nodded and exited the room, everyone following. 

Time to get ready.
