Taehyung has called Yoongi and told him what happened - Jungkook got sick and they had to call their 'mission' off for the day. He later dropped hoseok off at his house so he could take a nap.

In the meanwhile , Jungkook was still fidgeting in the backseat , and once hoseok got off the car he urged his hyung to drive faster.

" don't worry kook , I'll make you some soup and you'll feel better in no time. " taehyung said and sent Jungkook into a trance of mumbling about how soup is too hot for him right now.

Once they got to taehyung's apartment ( Jungkook's house was at the other side of the town and he was too unwell for that long of a drive ) Taehyung rolled up his sleeves and made some vegetable soup while Jungkook searched his bathroom for heat suppressant pills.

Jungkook opened every drawer until he found a first aid kit which had a pack of 5 pills. He swallowed them all and washed it down with some water from the sink before rushing out and assuring Taehyung he feels just fine.

" It's no big deal , kook. Just lay down in my bed and I'll fetch a bowl. "

Jungkook hesitantly nodded and walked down the hallway into the bedroom. He immediately stopped at the door.

The whole room smelled strongly of an alpha and  the fumes of vanilla scented candles. All he wanted to do in that moment is to sniff every particle of the smell into his lungs and have Taehyung knot him maybe once or twice. He guessed that the pills hasn't taken quite an effect yet and so he laid down and tried to think about something else.

" kook? You okay in there? " he heard Taehyung ask aloud , probably still in the kitchen making his soup.

" yeah! " he yelled back in response and looked around the room.

He spotted how messy it was ; clothes scattered all around his furniture , open books laid out on his desk and a busted lamp still lit on his nightstand. But it all felt comforting for some reason.

Jungkook let himself drown in the atmosphere of the room and before he knew it , Taehyung walked in with a spoon and a big bowl full of thick looking orange soup.

" it's made of carrots, butternut and sweet potatoes. " Taehyung said after noticing the latter's facial expression. " taste it. " he said and handed him the spoon.

Jungkook sipped on a spoonful of the soup and closed his eyes in content. It was just what he needed after being stressed out for so long. It was like he forgot how good of a friend Taehyung was.

" thank you hyung. " he smiled and offered him a spoonful of soup, " want some? "

Taehyung accepted the favor and sat beside Jungkook on the bed. " wanna watch The Office? "

They were in the middle of their fourth episode in a row when Jungkook shifted uncomfortably and groaned in pain.

" guk-ah? What's wrong? " Taehyung asked softly.

Jungkook felt heat rush to his face and a terrible headache possessed him. " I don't feel so well... can we go to my house and fetch some pain killers? " he tried to say normally.

The fact is, he felt like hell and he knew what will come in a few hours. Those pills he had taken weren't enough. He needs an injection and that's something only omegas have. Omegas such as his sister, which was conveniently on a 3 day trip to gwangju.

" you're sure? I have some pain killers as well. " Taehyung replied reasonably.

" no! " Jungkook said aloud. " they are special pain killers made by a special brand. "

Taehyung flashed him a questioning look. " okay, weirdo. Grab your jacket and let's go. "

Jungkook rummaged through his sister's medicine drawer carefully. He had told Taehyung to wait for him while he fetches some clothes and an overnight bag, just to buy himself some time while he injects himself for the first time.

He sniffled a bit and grabbed a 1-use-only black case from the drawer and opened it up, quickly putting together the syringe and filling it up with the yellow-tinted liquid. He took off his jacket and spotted a prominent vain, immediately wetting it with an alcohol soaked pad and then positioning the needle at the widest point. He closed his eyes. God, I don't want to do this.

He swallowed the lump prominent in his throat and activated some pressure on the syringe, pushing the needle just enough to pierce the skin and allow some blood to escape into the liquid itself. Jungkook groaned in pain and pushed on the plunger, closing his eyes at the uncomfortable yet calming sensation of the drug spreading quickly in his system. " ugh... " he sighed and pulled the syringe out, watching as a droplet of blood appeared.

He rested for a minute or two before getting up and arranging an overnight bag, wearing a long sleeved shirt and stuffing another bottle of pills in the bag, just in case.

-

" hey hyung " Jungkook smiled shyly as he opened the door and sat in the passenger's seat.

" hey kook " Taehyung replied and smiled back. " feeling better? "

The said-male nodded his head slightly. He still felt drowsy and his arm was sore. Taehyung turned on the radio.

He tried to focus on the soft music and the faint roaring of the engine underneath his feet and between all of those feelings he felt, he managed to fall asleep.
