"Do you like them?"

"..."

"Tae?"

"Mm.."

Jungkook sighed again not getting a solid reply. But he was sure he had started noticing some changes in him. He looks at him when he's talking to him now. It's just that he only replied with the usual hums.

"Get me those" The florist handed him a pot of marigolds. He knew Taehyung liked it. He was gazing at it for so long...

He takes him out on weekends to get some fresh air..or to just roam around. He thought it would be better than to just keep him inside the dorms.

After their little purchase ,Jungkook walked together with him towards their dorm. The final exams were nearing. And Jungkook was sure studying his ass off for it..

It was exhausting. But he had to do it. For them. Call him delusional but Jungkook was already picturing a life with the brunette where he would never hurt him and keep him safe. He needed to get a into a decent university or atleast crack those entrance exams after graduation. Or just look for a higher course.

He was still good friends with Jin and Yoongi. Though yoongi didnt seem to open up as before, still some grudges against Jungkook clear in his eyes. The rest do not know about what happened between Taehyung and him . They decided to keep it a secret.. Jungkook felt like they deserved the truth but yet he was glad they trusted him.

Jin being the nerd he was... was helping Jungkook big this time with studies. He also takes care of Taehyung at school along with Yoongi. He must say he was blessed to have them in his life.

Taehyung's mother calls once in a while to ask about her son's health. He has already missed so many classes and Jungkook feared the thought of leaving him alone at the dorms. He'll never let another person near him...Even though his bullies were suspended and are behind the bars now...the very thought of leaving Taehyung alone fears him...

That's why he had to drag him to school every single day..even though he hated it. He was still recovering but he still had to bring him..he had no other choice. They had already informed the teachers about his condition.

"Tae..you need to go get a bath.." Jungkook said as he placed the potted plant right in front of his bed view for him to see. He saw him slowly nodding and the ravenette walked towards the kitchen after making sure that Taehyung hadn't locked the bathroom door. In fact he had placed a removable lock there just in case...if he decides to lock himself up or anything...

Yes he was scared...for him...

"Tae! Lunch's almost ready!" He shouted from the kitchen as Jungkook served the plates for himself and the younger. He slowly carried them towards the hall but he furrowed his brows on finding no trace of the latter. He slowly walked towards their bedroom hoping for him to be around there somewhere dressing up but he wasn't...

Still in the bathroom..?

Why was he taking so long?

He waited for a while but then he felt his heartbeat getting abnormal with a weird sense of fear rushing into him. He decided to call out his name from outside but still got no reply and neither did he come out. He started feeling something funny inside the pit of his stomach. Without another warning Jungkook slammed open the door.

"Tae!" He saw him inside. Staring blankly at something . He had a razor....

In his hands...

How could i be such a fool...?

"Tae no!" Jungkook panicked as he rushed towards him and snapped the razor out of his grasp. He scanned his wrists to see no cuts or marks on it and sighed in relief..

But there he saw him again...shivering in his hold...what could he do? He couldn't let him go..

He didn't want to lose him.

He quickly wrapped his arms around his body and carried him towards their bed. He usually breathes heavy and tries to scratch Jungkook whenever he touched him. Not out of anger or anything it was just a reflex of his body to something unexpected. But now he wasn't . He was much more calm. The ravenette was glad seeing the little changes in him...but he had to be more careful...

"What were you thinking when you were trying to do that Tae??? Don't you realise there are people who care for you?? If you hate me then fine... but what about Jin? Yoongi? Hoseok?? All of them??" Jungkook asked as he caressed his cheeks with his hands, worry etched all over his face. Taehyung had tears streaming down his eyes...

He was crying....But his face was still blank

Jungkook let out a sudden huff, his own eyes brimming with hot liquid. For sure he felt like he had lost the old Taehyung... But he wouldn't stop. He wouldn't stop until he gets him back just like his old self. Happy and smiling...
