{OST: "Spring Day" by BTS}

Taehyung winced, as if he himself felt the pain.
Taehyung: Ow... this must hurt a lot.
Jisoo watched him intently.

Jisoo: It took you ten whole minutes to realise this? I was on the floor dying from the pain and you were still hovering above me, yelling at me for getting injured

Jisoo: It took you ten whole minutes to realise this? I was on the floor dying from the pain and you were still hovering above me, yelling at me for getting injured. What the hell, Kim Taehyung?
Taehyung pouted.
Taehyung: I said I'm sorry... Does it still hurt?
Jisoo: Of course.
Taehyung frowned as he leaned down and blowed gently on Jisoo's toe.
Taehyung: Better?
Jisoo's cheeks turned bright red as she pulled her foot out of Taehyung's grip.
Jisoo: You think blowing on it will do anything to heal it? It needs medication, Taehyung-ah.
Taehyung: Right-
Taehyung got up at once and headed towards the door.
Taehyung: I'll go get you some ointment.
Jisoo smiled a little and nodded.
Jisoo: Mm.
Taehyung turned towards the door, but turned back once more before he left.
Taehyung: Kim Jisoo.
Jisoo looked up from her bed. Taehyung was looking at her very seriously.
Jisoo: Hm?
Taehyung: Please don't do such things again in the future. Such dangerous things... I'll handle them from now on.
Jisoo laughed.
Jisoo: When will there ever be another chance?
Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows.
Taehyung: Why won't there be? There are plenty of chances in the future...
Taehyung pursed his lips.
Taehyung: That is, if you want there to be, of course.

[Heart Signal Panel]

The panelists squealed loudly.
Byulyi: Omo! Omo! That's basically confessing, is it not?
Jieun: They finally settled it... I was so worried for a second.
Jimin giggled.
Jimin: Honestly speaking, they quarrelled only because they care about each other too much.
Jungkook: You're right! If Taehyung-ssi didn't care about Jisoo-ssi, he wouldn't be upset even if she hurt herself. And if Jisoo-ssi didn't care about Taehyung-ssi, she wouldn't have been so hurt when he yelled at her.
Seokjin chuckled softly.
Seokjin: Yeah... you're right. honestly, when you think about it, a lot of household arguments occur because two people care a lot about each other. Last time, Byulyi and I quarrelled over an umbrella.
The panelists burst into laughter.
Yoojung: What?
Byulyi laughed.
Byulyi: Yeah, he insisted that I brought an umbrella out of the house and I said that he should keep it instead and we ended up yelling at each other. It started with pure and good intentions but it turned awry.
The others laughed.
Jungkook: It's funny, a lot of such trivial squabbles happen really often between couples, Jieun and I included. Anyway, I'm glad Jisoo-ssi and Taehyung-ssi managed to resolve their problem relatively quickly.

Jisoo pursed her lips, trying not to smile.
Jisoo: Go get the ointment, Kim Taehyung.
Taehyung smiled.
