When Taehyung woke up in the morning, the first thing he saw was a text from Jimin on his phone. A week had already passed since the day Jungkook started staying at the hospital.

Finally. Took you long enough, Jimin.

Jimin:

Taehyung:

Taehyung:

Jimin:

Taehyung:

Jimin:

Taehyung:

oh yeah

Taehyung:

ok then gtg! i wanna get to know kookie better!

Jimin:

kookie?

Taehyung didn't reply. He was already getting ready to go out. He sat down on the floor, right next to the door, waiting for a call.

Am I really that excited to see Jungkook? Why am I so attached to him all of a sudden?

Taehyung knew the answer to that question; he just didn't want to admit it. 

After waiting for what felt like a million years, Taehyung's phone finally rang. Knowing immediately who it was, he answered the call.

"Is Jungkook coming home today?" Taehyung asked.

"Yes, he is. We'll wait for as long as we need to."

"I'll be there in five minutes." Taehyung said, who was already getting into his car.

Hanging up on the phone, Taehyung quickly drove to the hospital, nearly going over the speed limit from the excitement. As soon as he got out of the car, he went directly to the same room where he met the doctor that day. There, he saw the doctor, and, to his delight, Jungkook.

"Hi Kookie!"

"Hey TaeTae. You seem excited to see me."

"I am! I'll take you to my house first to lend you some of my stuff, okay?"

"Okay. Thanks, TaeTae." Jungkook said, flashing a bunny smile, which made Taehyung blush.

They both got into Taehyung's car, and he drove them to his home. Just as Taehyung was about to unlock the door, he guiltily remembered that he left the newspaper about Jungkook's family's deaths on the table. 

What if Jungkook sees it? What should I tell him? I'm going to have to tell him eventually. He's going to be heartbroken, though.

Jungkook went inside first, leaving a panicked Taehyung.

He's going to see the newpaper!

"Do you want a snack, Kookie?" Taehyung asked, despereately trying to distract him.

"Yeah, sure." Jungkook said, as he sat down on a chair next to the table.

Too late.

Taehyung bit his lip as he watched Jungkook gasp as he looked at the newspaper on the table.

"I-i-is t-this my f-family?" Jungkook stuttered, clearly too shocked to even speak correctly.

Taehyung knew it would hurt Jungkook, and he would hate to see Jungkook so broken, but he had to say it.

"Jungkook. Yes, that is your family. Your family's dead. I'm sorry"
