Chapter 35: Rings

Ignore the mistakes plz :)

Third Person POV

Jeongguk brought Taehyung home, the blonde being completely out. He changes Taehyung's clothes and puts him under comforter. He puts water, juice and painkillers by the side table in case Taehyung wakes and needs them. Jeongguk knows Taehyung's gonna have a bad headache.

Jeongguk stares at he sleeping boy who was sleeping like no care of the world. Jeongguk leans in and places a soft kiss on Taehyung's forehead, careful to be as gentle as possible.

Jeongguk doesn't know why he gets in such situations with Taehyung where he has to explain himself. Though he knows it's always his fault but now, he feels utterly stupid. Lea didn't even deserved to be there close to them and yet she managed to lure Jeongguk in her trap.

Jeongguk knows why he couldn't just focus on anything when he saw that bitch. He was angry, so furious because he didn't wanted to see her face and yet after almost four years, she managed to show up and ruin everything, ruin Taehyung's trust on Jeongguk.

Jeongguk just hopes that Taehyung would forgive him. Forgive him for ignoring him. Forgive him for messing up. Again.

Jeongguk, not wanting to disturb Taehyung, sleeps on the armchair in the room.

--------------------

Taehyung wakes up with a light headache. He sits up, eyes closed, messy hair and a pout on his lips, deciding whether or not to open his eyes.

He stretches and groans lightly, finally opening his eyes and adjusting to light. He looks around, finding Jeongguk sleeping on the armchair, mouth slightly ajar and snoring softly.

Taehyung narrows his eyes at him, grabs a pillow and throws it at Jeongguk's direction, even though his limbs were feeling shaky. He groans when it misses Jeongguk. He grabs another one and throws it with all his might and the pillow lands directly on Jeongguk's face with a soft thump and the younger jolts awake.

"What-what happened. What happened!" Jeongguk starts mumbling, startled and Taehyung tries not to smile.

Jeongguk's eyes land on Taehyung and he calms down. He smiles sheepishly at Taehyung who still has his eyes narrowed at the younger.

"Morning." Jeongguk says, trying to figure out how Taehyung will react.

"My legs hurt. I'd be wobbly if I get up, take me to bathroom." Taehyung says blankly and Jeongguk gapes at him surprised.

"S-sure." Jeongguk replies and gets up, walking towards Taehyung. Taehyung easily locks his arms around Jeongguk's neck and the younger picks him up, heart beating out of his chest.

He puts Taehyung down and the blonde steadies himself. Jeongguk stands there awkwardly.

"What? Leave." Taehyung says.

"Uh yeah-yeah, sorry." Jeongguk runs out of the bathroom, cheeks tinted red. He doesn't know why Taehyung is acting like this and he is going crazy.

Shouldn't he be shouting at me?

Shouldn't he be pushing me away?

He just asked me to pick him up. Why?

Yes, sometimes, such absurd thoughts come in Jeongguk's mind.

As Taehyung does his morning routine in the bathroom, Jeongguk goes to the other bathroom and freshens up. He'll have to talk to Taehyung right now.

Jeongguk knocks softly and enters the room, finding Taehyung still in his bed clothes though he was also in them still. Taehyung looks at him and smiles a little, then looks away and takes the painkiller.
