Kim Taehyung's POV

I am enjoying our quality time. Jungkook is so gentle and sweet to me, which makes my heart feel so happy. I didn't expect that Captain Jeon would do anything for me. He has been carrying me for so long, and he looks not to be getting tired. Actually, I got a little nap while he was carrying me.

"Omygod! Taehyung~ah!" I heard Jimin's voice. I looked up where that voice was coming from, and I saw Jimin running towards us.

I realized that we had already arrived outside the forest. Jimin and others are all waiting at the entrance.

"What happened to your feet?" Jimin asked when he noticed my left foot had a bandage.

Everyone is staring at us. The only thing that I can do is hide my face at Captain's Jeon's neck. While Jimin keeps nagging me about what happened to me inside the forest.

"Jimin, I think we should let Taehyung rest and check his injured feet," General Min said to make Jimin stop asking.

Captain Jeon brings me to the medical tent to check on my injuries and so that I can rest for a while. I immediately grabbed his hands when he put me down on the bed. I don't want him to leave my side. I want to spend time together.

"Don't leave me," I said to him when I held his hand tightly and pulled him to sit on the bed.

"Okay, hon. I will not leave," Jungkook said, then sat beside me.

Captain Jeon keeps calling me "hon" since he confessed to me. I feel butterflies in my stomach when I hear that from him. I was holding his hands tightly and didn't want to let go of his hand because I was enjoying his warmth.

"Taehyung~ah! You know how much I am worried about you. I already messaged your father about this matter. Luckily, Captain Jeon found you, and if he doesn't find you, your father will send another batch of rescuers," Uncle Jung said when he arrived. I can see in his face how worried he is.

Uncle Jung and Dad are overprotective when I come to them. Dad just approved my request to volunteer here because Uncle Jung was here, but Uncle is not here. I am sure that he won't let me.

"Thank you so much, Captain Jeon, for always saving and protecting my nephew," Uncle Jung said when he noticed Captain Jeon was beside me. I can sense that he is looking at our holding hands, but he didn't say anything about it.

My Jungkook just nodded and gave him a salute, and then Uncle Jung had already left us. However, when my uncle leaves, Jimin and General Min were the ones who were coming in.

"Tae!!" Jimin yelled, then he gave me a hug. I groaned because he jumped on me and his hug was tight.

"Jimin, you are hurting him," Jungkook informed. General Min, grab him away from me. I can sense jealousy in General Min's face.

"I am sorry, Tae. I am so worried about you," Jimin said while he was teary-eyed.

"I am already okay, Jiminie. My kookie, save me," I said to Jimin while looking at Jungkook with an adoring face.

"Omy!" Jimin half yelled while keeping his hands on his mouth. He looks shocked and, at the same time, is hit by realization.

"Are you guys couples?" Jimin asked, making me choke on my own saliva. Jungkook immediately gave me a water bottle and helped me drink it.

"Why are you asking this kind of question?" I asked Jimin after I drank the water that Jungkook offered.

"Well, since you guys come back from the forest, you both are acting like a couple! You both are showing lovey-dovey moments, and when I come here inside, you guys are holding hands. It is a couple action!?" Jimin exclaimed. I giggled at his reaction.

"You are crazy, Jimin," Jungkook said. Jimin's face changed into an annoyed one.

"We're not a couple, Jimin," I said, making him understand that I and Jungkook are still not a couple, but I am looking forward.

"Then what is your status?" he asked.

"I confessed to him. Now, we both know our feelings for each other and are ready to level up our relationship, but we took it slowly. We want to enjoy our time together," Jungkook answered.

Jimin didn't show any reaction or say anything for a while, but when he absorbed what Jungkook said, Jimin was jumping in bed when he yelled so loudly that the other patients and medical staff were looking at him.

I feel embarrassed about what Jimin did. Captain Jeon and General Min were shocked at his shout.

"Omygod! I am so happy for you, Taehyung. You have been crushing Captain Jeon since you were 18 years old, and now he already likes you," Jimin said, which made me blush so mad. He is giving too much information.

Jungkook is looking at me while giving me a smirk. He is so happy about Jimin's information that I have had a crush on him since I was 18 years old. I am sure he is so proud, and he will tease nonstop that I have had a crush on him for how long?

"Stop talking, Jimin. You are exposing me so much." I stopped Jimin from talking.

"Opxzzz! Sorry, I will leave already with General Min. See you around, Tae! Get we'll soon." I was giving him a death glare; that's why he dragged General Min with him and left me with Jungkook, who is weirdly giving me a huge smirk.

"So? You have had a crush on me since you were 18 years old. That's why, when I was first in the meeting hall with the president, you came to sign your waiver. You keep checking on me," Jungkook said while he was teasing me.

"Yah! Stop it. That's not true." I was denying it since I was so embarrassed.

"It's true! I remember you asking for your father to ask my name that time." Jungkook is continuously saying the things that he can use to tease me.

"Yah! That's not true! "I throw the pillow at him. Jungkook held the pillow, and then I was flinching when he hovered over me and started tickling me, which made me laugh out loud.
