"Where the hell do you think you're going??"

Jungkook freezes in his tracks,hand a few centimetres away from the doorknob in front of him.

He sheepishly turns around to face a certain hyung who was almost always grumpy.

That hyung also reminds him of a cat and makes his heart speed up slightly.

"Jungkook-ah,I told you to stay in bed!!"

Yoongi scolds the younger in front of him,arms crossed as he gives him the angriest look he can muster.

Jungkook lets out a laugh-wait,scratch that,more like a wheeze,at his hyung's face.

"Hyung,I told you,I'm fine."
He says as reassuringly as he can,but he knows Yoongi wouldn't have any of his excuses.

"No,Jungkook."
Yoongi snaps impatiently,having zero tolerance for the taller's stubbornness.

"You're sick,and the others asked me to take care of you.
The others put their trust in me,Jungkook.Don't be selfish and think of others for once."

Yoongi regrets saying those words as he notices the way Jungkook's face crumples at his words.

"Jungkook-"

"I'm sorry,Yoongi hyung.I didn't mean to be so difficult.The comeback's nearing and I haven't mastered the choreography yet.I need to make sure I'm ready so that I won't disappoint ARMY."
Jungkook sniffles,blinking rapidly to hold back the tears that were building up in his eyes.

Yoongi feels some kind of sympathy for the younger.He knows that the younger has inherited Jimin's habit of beating himself up about every little thing.

The smaller male gently grabs the taller's shoulder.

"Jungkook,look at me."He starts firmly.

Jungkook's watery eyes slowly make contact with his.

"I know that you want to do well,we all do! But your health comes first,no matter what.ARMYs have always reminded us that they just want us to be happy and healthy.If they knew you pushed yourself to practise even when you were sick,they would be upset."

Yoongi rubs the maknae's shoulder gently as he guides him back to his room.

He makes the younger lie down on the bed,sitting right next to him.

"Self care is important,Jungkookie.Please remember that."
Yoongi murmurs softly.

A faint smile appears on Jungkook's face as he hears Yoongi use his nickname.

"I will,Hyung.Thank you for taking care of me."
He mumbles sleepily,feeling drowsy just from being under the covers again.

"It's my job,you brat."Yoongi scoffs.

"Of course I'd take care of you,so no need to thank me.Get some rest,Jungkook.I'll wake you up when lunch is ready."

----TIME SKIP TO A FEW WEEKS LATER----

Jungkook presses the buzzer to The Genius Lab,entering once he hears Yoongi muttering out a 'Come in'.

"Hey,Hyung.Jin hyung asked if you wanted to go get something to eat--"

He frowns at the triple layer of clothing that Yoongi is currently wearing.

"Yoongi hyung,isn't it a bit too warm to be wearing so many layers of clothing today?" He inquires,slightly curious about his hyung's choice of clothing.

"It's a bit cold in my studio,Jungkook-ah.The aircond's on,if you haven't noticed."
Yoongi says drily,never once turning to look at the maknae,but his voice comes out funny,as if he had a stuffy nose.

"And,no,I'll just grab something from the convenience store later,so you guys can go ahead without me."

Jungkook gives Yoongi a look,not satisfied with the rapper's answer.

He senses that the older is hiding something from him,so he walks right up to him and places his hand on the latter's forehead,immediately pulling his hand back when he feels the heat radiating off Yoongi's forehead.

"Yoongi hyung,you have a cold!!"
He exclaims in concern.

"It's just a little cold,you kid.I'll be fine,"Yoongi grumbles,rubbing his nose with his hand in order to relieve his itchy nose.

"Hyung,you're burning up!Why didn't you tell anybody?!"

"I've got to finish working on this song,Jungkook.It's not even halfway done yet,and Manager-nim wants it by Friday."

Jungkook rolls his eyes at the older's excuse.

"So?That's four days away!!You can still finish it later."

Yoongi groans at Jungkook's words.

"Just go,Jungkook.I need to get my work done.I'll be fine."

But Jungkook,being the hard headed bunny he is,refuses to leave,his mind thinking of ways to get Yoongi to rest.

He finally opts for simply lifting the older male from his seat and into his arms,walking towards the couch in the studio while ignoring the protesting male in his arms.

"YAH!!YOU BRAT!!LET ME *sniffs*--LET ME GO!!"
Yoongi shouts,struggling in the younger's hold.

Unfortunately, Jungkook seems to have a grip of iron because he simply sits down while a hand reaches for his phone,the other arm securely wrapped around the older's waist.

Yoongi flushes at the maknae's actions.

He would be absolutely lying if he said that he didn't have any feelings for the younger,but come on,his pride was more important than that.

Or so he thought.

Jungkook dials a number and presses the phone to his ear.

?:Hello?

JK:Ah,Jin hyung,it's Jungkook.

JIN:Ah,what's wrong?Have you asked Yoongi if he wanted to come as well?

JK:Yoongi Hyung's feeling a bit sick today,hyung.Is it okay if I stay behind and take care of him?

JIN:What?!Yoongi is sick??Okay,I'll let you stay,Kook.Take care of him.We'll be back with some food and medicine.

JK:Okay,thanks,Hyung.

JIN:No problem,see you later.

JK:Okay.Bye.

*Ends call*

"Jin hyung said I have to take care of you"

Jungkook tells the smaller male that was trapped in his hold,a smirk gracing his lips.

"You practically volunteered yourself.Now let me go,You brat!!"Yoongi orders.

"If you don't let go,I'm not going to buy you any more lamb skewers."

Jungkook laughs at the older's threat.

"What,Hyung,you think I'd choose lamb skewers over you?No,your health is clearly more important.Besides,I can't stand seeing my crush sick."

Yoongi's eyes widen.

"I'm your...crush?"

Jungkook's laughter stops immediately as he realises that he basically confessed to his hyung a second ago due to his carelessness.

Shit.
