The unpleasant sensation of a dry mouth was the first thing you woke up to. You tried to bring some moisture back to your mouth by swallowing only to find that your throat was swollen and sore. It wasn't the typical discomfort that came with sleeping with your mouth open, this was a sick kind of sore throat. To top it off, your nasal passage was clogged, leaving you with a stuffy nose and pressure in your sinuses that made it feel like someone was squeezing your face.
You let out a quiet groan of displeasure and discreetly slid out of bed, trying not to wake your sleeping boyfriend beside you.

The faint sound of your bare feet shuffling across the floor echoed down the hall as you made your way to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water for your dry throat. The ice cold temperature of the beverage brought momentary relief, a small sigh leaving your lips. Pulling open the cabinet, you searched for some over-the-counter cold medicine, spotting a box on one of the shelves. You got on your tiptoes, reaching for the box of pills and silently cursing the fact that it was stored inside of a high cabinet. The tips of your fingers brushed the pack enough to where you were able to barely grasp it. Just as you started to bring it down to you, you lost your partial hold on the box and it went falling to the floor, rattling a bit as it did so.

"Crap." You hissed under your breath and reached down to retrieve the medicine before closing the cabinet door.
You froze in place momentarily and listened for any sounds that would indicate Jungkook waking up. When you were met with silence, you proceeded with your task, popping a cold pill out of its plastic compartment and grabbing your bottle of water.

Just as you were about to take the medicine, a familiar itch became present in your throat and you knew you were about to cough. Despite that, you tried to suppress it, popping the softgel pill into your mouth and gulping down some water. Unfortunately, the water did nothing to sate the itch in your throat and you ended up letting out the most awful-sounding cough that you were certain Jungkook could hear all the way in the bedroom. You covered your mouth to muffle the unpleasant sound, but you were too late.
The sound of bare feet shuffling across the hardwood floors reached your ears and you internally facepalmed for disturbing your sleeping boyfriend.

"Baby?" Jungkook's groggy voice uttered from the hallway.
Moments later, he entered the kitchen, rubbing his puffy eyes sleepily.
"What's going on?" He asked. "I heard you coughing."
"I'm sick." You sighed out miserably.
"Aw." Jungkook frowned and walked over, wrapping his arms around you from behind.
He saw the box of cold medicine and the plastic compartment where a pill had been popped out sitting on the countertop.
"I could've gotten that medicine for you. You didn't have to get up and do it all by yourself."
"You were sleeping so well. I didn't want to wake you." You murmured softly.
"I wouldn't have minded."
A soft huff left you, still upset that his rest was disturbed due to your clumsiness.
"Come here." He grunted, lifting you off your feet and into his muscular arms, holding you in a bridal-style carry.
You yelped as you were picked up so suddenly. "What are you doing?"
"Taking you back to bed so you can rest."
"I'm fine. I just feel a little icky, that's all. I'll be alr—" You cut yourself off with a loud, barking cough, the bend of your arm coming up to cover your mouth as you spiraled into a fit of unpleasant hacking.
"You don't sound fine." Jungkook chuckled softly as he stepped into your shared room and laid you back down on the soft mattress. "Just rest, okay?"
Chewing your bottom lip, you waited a moment before nodding, giving in to your boyfriend's request.
"Good girl." Jungkook stroked your hair, pulling the covers over your body and placing a loving kiss to your forehead. "I'll go bring your water up here in case your throat gets dry. Is there anything else you need? Cough drops, tea, soup?"
"I'm fine." You smiled softly at the way he cared for you and wanted to make sure you had everything you'd need.
"Okay." He gave a single nod and started to leave the room, halting at the doorframe. "If you decide you need something, let me know."
"I will." You assured him, watching as he left.

Your glazed eyes locked onto the ceiling, staring at its textured surface while waiting for Jungkookg's return. The pressure in your face was still present, as the medicine hadn't had time to kick in just yet. While you still felt like garbage, you couldn't suppress the small smile that played at the edges of your lips. Having someone care so deeply for you and be at your beck and call made your heart swell with adoration. You didn't know how you'd gotten so lucky to have someone like Jungkook in your life.

Said man walked back into the room with your water and placed it on the nightstand, making sure it was within your reach before crawling back into bed, the warmth of the sheets welcoming him. One of his arms hooked around your waist and tugged you into his chest.
"I don't think it's a good idea to be cuddling so close to me while I'm sick." You muttered softly, wiggling further into the mattress. "You might catch whatever I have."
"I don't care." He kissed your forehead tenderly. "I need to be close in case you need me."
Your gaze softened, an overwhelming amount of love exploding in your chest at his words.
"What if you end up getting sick?"
"Then I know you'll take care of me."
