The Air We Breathe || JUNGKOOK

Chapter 3

*Side note: The photo above is merely used for the purpose of this scene at it was the closest thing I could find that would fit. Exhaustion is never something to joke with especially in Jungkook's previous situation at that concert.* Enjoy the chapter ARMY :)

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

I wake up the next morning and wake up with my caretaker Emily by my side as if it was our daily routine. I felt weak in the mornings and it would sometimes be so bad to a point I needed medicine to fix it. Today was one of those mornings.

"Here, take this Y/N." Emily says handing me a pill and a glass of water. I place the pill on my tongue and the glass to my lips, swallowing the temporary pain reliever. "Thanks Emily." I say, finishing the water. She smiles as she places my clothes for the day on my bed.

Ripped black jeans, a long red sweater, and combat boots. My favorite. I throw on the clothes and put my hair in a high pony before I look over and see Emily scrolling through her phone. "Want to go to the cafeteria to get some food? They have yogurt and muffins, it will be soft on your stomach." She says and I nod. My stomach let out a loud growl and I placed my hand over it feeling constant hunger travel through my body.

"Yeah, that sounds good." I say as we leave for the cafeteria.

"Well you should have just came down with me instead of just staying in your bed Jungkook, the doctor says you need to move around anyways." I hear a voice say, mentioning Jungkooks name and sitting at one of the tables. I tilt my head at the man who had a blueberry muffin sitting in front of him with 2 yogurts and some dry cheerios. His skin was a light shade of honey, he had some of the most symmetrical features I have seen in a long time, silver hair, and dark brown eyes. He looked around my age and seemed very distressed.

"I'm not going to keep bringing the food to you! You're never going to get better if you don't eat and walk around!" He exclaims before hanging up the phone and rubbing his temples.

Emily returns to your table with a muffin and yogurt to see you staring at the man not too far from you. "He's quite loud for it only being 9 in the morning." She chuckles nervously.

"I think he is friends with Jungkook." I say looking down at my food.

"The emo kid? The one who took his mask off next to you? I'd believe it." Emily rolls her eyes, tightening the blond ponytail on her head. "Emily don't be mean." I shrug, playing with my muffin." 

"I have to go do some paper work. Will you be okay for a little bit? Got the button just in case?" She asks. I raise my wrist showing her the watch she got specially for me in case I were to have an episode. She smiles giving my a thumbs up before leaving me at the table by myself.

I stare at my muffin for a few more seconds before picking off a piece and sticking it in my mouth. Flavor filled my tongue as I chewed it and swallowed. It was good.

I continued to pluck pieces of the muffin off and eat them. Now and then taking a spoonful of yogurt and drinking some water. This was the first breakfast I've had in a good while.

And it was good.

"Y/N?" I hear my name and look over to my left, to see the guy who was talking to Jungkook on the phone staring at me with a neutral expression.

"Y-yes?" I respond, caught off guard that he knew my name since we haven't even crossed paths before. He smiles and gets out of his seat before walking to the opposite of me and sitting down across the table.

"Sorry, it must be weird that I know you're name but my name is Taehyung. I'm Jungkook's caretaker." He smiles holding out his hand for me to shake. I take his hand, considering how long and large it was, it nearly engulfed mine once he grabbed onto it, shaking it softly.
