Jungkook hops down the polished, wooden stairs, barely pulling on his second boot, while he simultaneously tries not to face plant and, safely make it down the stairs.
"Wow there!" Taehyung cries, jumping into action immediately, as the idol runs forward, catching Jungkook, before he flies down the rest of his staircase. He grabs Jungkook's small waist, lifting him up from the stairs.
"Sorry, I... I'm in a bit of a rush," Jungkook whispers, still being held up, like Taehyung's favourite doll. The idol carefully sets Jungkook on the floor, prolonging the amount of time that his hands rest, on the perfectly small waist.
"I can tell; where do you have to be?"
"With all of this hearing, and not hearing. I thought I should book an appointment with my doctor, just to see what's happening," Jungkook explains, while finishing pulling on his second shoe. "You should come with, seeing as you've been with me, both times I've been able to hear something!" The boy suggests.
"Only if you want me to, I'll go."
"Yes please."
"Cool, I'll drive and after, we can go get ice-cream or, coffee. Whatever you're feeling really," Taehyung plans.
"Sounds good," Jungkook yips, he quickly pecks Taehyung's lips, before running off toward the door, "my appointment is in like, twenty minutes, we should get going!" The bunny yells, from the opposite side of the house. Taehyung, on the other hand, is standing frozen in the kitchen, not quite sure of what just happened. But he swears, he can still feel the tingling electrical shot, that travelled up his body, from when Jungkook's lips met his, still lingering on his lips.

Jungkook holds Taehyung's large hand, tracing along all the different dips and veins, on the back of his hands. Basking in how well, their hands slot together, like puzzle pieces, handcrafted by whatever higher power above, to slot in, moulding together in the perfect way.
"Jeon Jungkook," the doctor, Miss Lee, calls out in the waiting room. Taehyung taps Jungkook's arm, gaining his attention, forcing the bunny to pull his eyes away, from their own personal puzzle. The idol pulls the bunny to his feet, leading the boy to follow after his doctor.
"Mr Kim," Miss Lee bows, smiling brightly at her idol. Taehyung, bows respectfully back to her, silently thanking the doctor, for keeping her composure, and remaining professional. Taehyung knows, and has experienced, people not exactly remaining their professional composure, when the idol seeks help at a store and such.
The two boys, and doctor, are lead into an office. "So, Mr Jeon, what brings you here today?" Miss Lee asks, turning to her desk, to pull out a notepad and pen.
"I'm not sure if my medical history is there but, I've been completely deaf, all my life. And there's been two cases, in the past few weeks, where I've suddenly been able to hear for a second or two," Jungkook explains.
Miss Lee nods, writing down her notes, "and what were the noises you heard?" She asks.
"The first sound, is from what I can faintly remember, what a hummingbird sounds like. And the second noise, was the sound of Taehyung breathing in."
The doctor nods again, furrowing her eyebrows; she turns to her computer. The sound of the keyboard clacking, echos through the otherwise, dead silent room. "Taking a brief look at your medical history, I would like to book you in for a hearing test, some time in the near future. What you're experiencing, with your medical history, is very unusual, and frankly, shouldn't be happening. So, for today, I'd just like to book you in for a few listening tests; just for some further investigation. And who knows, maybe you could be eligible for a cochlear implant. Or you could just get a hearing aid, which ever you're more comfortable with."
Taehyung watches from his seat, as Jungkook's face lights up, at the mention of possibly being able to hear again. The idol swears, he can see a small flame of passion, dance in the pupil of his eye. As the young boy almost can't contain his excitement, for even the chance of hearing, is so important to him. Taehyung almost feels selfish, all his life, he's taken his hearing for granted. Never has the idol, really stopped to think about just how lucky he is, for being able to hear; and here Jungkook is, almost jumping out of his chance, for even the possibility, to have the sensation of pages turning, ring throughout his head, like a catchy song. Or to be able to hear the sound of crashing water, to match the majestic sensation of powerful winds, ripping through his hair, of waterfalls, crashing into pools below.
"Thank you for your time, I'll be sure to show up for my test," Jungkook thanks, bowing to his doctor.
"Thank you for coming; have fun with the rest of your day boys, don't go getting into too much trouble," The doctor jokes, winking at the boys, as they get up from their seats, bowing.

"Bun, you have chocolate on your face," Taehyung points out, wiping the small smudge off the corner of his mouth. The bunny blushes deeply, whispering out a small 'thank you.'
"I really liked that appointment, I seriously hope I can get a hearing aid or the cochlear implant, I would to be able to hear your music. Oh and the sound of birds, they were always my favourite sounds as a kid. I loved them, because they always seemed to be so loud in my head, especially hummingbirds, they were always my favourite," Taehyung sits aside Jungkook, smiling softly at the boy, watching his hands as he goes on his tangent, about birds. "When I was a kid, because I loved humming birds so much, my mother actually bought me two little hummingbirds for pets. One was named Raspberry, and the other was Blueberry. I sat in my room for hours, just listening to them do their thing. I was sad when I let them go - I have to admit but, when I lost my hearing, I decided that I should let them just be free. They still came to my window everyday though, and I'd feed them. They were so cute."
Taehyung nods, "maybe, if you get your hearing back, I'll take you to a forest or, somewhere where it's just buzzing with hummingbirds."
