Always You

You Made Me

  'do you want to take a bath?' no reply. 'when was the last time you showered?' nothing. 'okay, I'll go start the water.' twenty minutes ago. now, the water is ready. perfectly warm and transparent. jungkook leads taehyung to the bathroom. a towel hangs from his shoulder. 'there,' he leaves the older boy there. taehyung doesn't move. he stands there silently, eyes fixed on the floor beneath him. 'okay...' jungkook sighs. entering once more, he rolls up his already short sleeves onto his shoulders. he starts undressing taehyung. the older male still doesn't speak and barely moves. only when his boyfriend tells him to do so. 'climb in,' he climbs in without hesitation. the younger male gets onto his knees, cupping his hands so that he can pour some water onto taehyung's head. once the older boy's hair is completely wet, his boyfriend moves onto pouring some water onto his exposed skin. the various parts of his body that aren't inside the water. 'i'm going to get some shampoo for your hair,' jungkook reaches to his far right, grabbing both the shampoo and conditioner bottle. he pours a bit of shampoo into the palm of his hand, rubbing his hands together before applying the liquid to his boyfriend's hair. he rubs it in a bit before washing it out with his hands. 'i wonder what your dream is. at the house, you only ever told me that you see jimin. that in the dream—nightmare—you get reminded of his death. but how? do you see your own version of it? i won't speak of it anymore though. i know how much it hurt you. i'm sorry this all has to happen. you don't deserve to go through this much stress and depression.' after he finishes washing tae's hair, jungkook grabs a loofa, applying some soap on it. that's the first time jungkook had ever showered someone. and the first time he ever did so at half past two in the morning.
