"This is all my fault..."

"Jimin please stop saying that," Jungkook sighed, it had been a couple hours later and the two were both seated in the hospital chairs, Jeonsan sleeping soundly. His temperature had gone down a bit, but the doctors wanted him to stay just a little longer until everything hopefully went back to normal.

"B-but is i-it normal for him to g-get it th-that  often and t-that high? what if I did s-something wrong? I-if I caused-" Jimin began to rant, cut off by Jungkook's index being placed against his lips, "He had a high fever Jimin, it happens okay? It's not your fault."

"You can't blame yourself for every little thing," Jungkook said, leaning back into the chair, "And why don't you get some sleep, it's like 5am you're going to be exhausted if you don't get any." He added. "No, what if something happens." Jimin murmured.

"Then I'll wake you but I already promised you, everything's going to be okay." Jungkook insisted, staring down at Jimin's face, the dried tears stains, his fluffy yet messed up hair, and tired eyes. "Promise?" Jimin whispered, leaning onto Jungkook's shoulder, eyes fluttering closed.

"I Promise," Jungkook whispered back, adjusting himself in hopes of Jimin being more comfortable. Jungkook sighed and glanced up at Jeonsan who was cuddled up against the thin hospital blanket, he listened to his quiet steady breaths, grimacing at the IV in his fragile small arm. How did things escalate so fast?  He thought to himself.

Jimin opened his eyes and gazed up at Jungkook, he blinked rapidly, "what time is it?" He asked, raspiness coating his voice. Jungkook whipped his head toward Jimin then smiled, "Oh you're awake, it about 7am I think..." Jungkook replied.

Jimin quickly sat up, "I slept that long?! He groaned, quickly looking around the room noticing the light steaming into it. His gaze softened when he noticed Jeonsan was sitting up in his bed looking over to him.

He walked over to him and placed his palm against his forehead, "Do you feel better?" Jimin asked sweetly, holding onto Jeonsan's adorable chubby cheeks, the toddler nodded in return, squishing himself even more against Jimin's hands. "Doctors were actually just in here they said we were free to go." Jungkook explained, walking over to the two.

A smile instantly painted itself on Jimin's features after hearing that, he looking back at Jeonsan and picked him up holding him close to his chest, "He didn't cry when they took the IV out?" he asked, glimpsing back up at Jungkook. "Nope, didn't cry one bit."

"So you're a big boy now?" Jimin cooed looking down at Jeonsan who was tucked into his chest, he shook his head in denial and pouted, "No." Jeonsan squeaked. Jimin chuckled, leaning down and covering the toddlers face in kisses, "I love you."

Jimin offered to drive back home considering how tired Jungkook seemed to be, after all he didn't try sleeping even once while in the hospital. "You texted Jin about everything right?" Jungkook asked, glancing back at Jeonsan who was seated in his car seat, "I did," Jimin sighed, gripping onto the steering wheel, "I think I'm gonna take any work off for the rest of the week.." Jimin mumbled, "What why?" Jungkook questioned glimpsing over to him. "B-because I just want to be around all week for Jeonsan in case something happens." He murmured.

"Jimin nothings going to happen he's perfectly fine," Jungkook explained, "I know how much you care about him, trust me I do too but you can't spend your entire time worrying." He added. Jimin nodded, he removed one of his hands from the wheel and placed it against the side of his chair.

He felt something brush over him and noticed it was Jungkook's hand... Jimin's breath hitched when he felt his hand being turned over and the feeling of Jungkook intertwining their fingers.

Jimin eyed him but quickly focused back on the road, ignoring the blush that now dusted his cheeks.

Once they made it home Jungkook crashed onto the couch and let out an exasperated sigh, Jimin covered him with a blanket, "You can get some rest..." Jimin said sweetly, moving down to brush the hair off his forehead. They gazed into each other's eyes, both seemingly caught in the moment, Jungkook blinked slowly, admiring all of Jimin's intricate features. His soft monolid eyes, his full parted lips, his glistening tan skin. (I'm not whitewashing them hell no)

Jungkook craned his neck upwards and pressed a light kiss against Jimin's lips, he quickly pulled away shaking his head "S-sorry I shouldn't be-" he was cut off my Jimin cupping his face and pulling him into another kiss, it was swift and calculated, "I don't mind," he whispered after they separated.

Jungkook sat there, eyes widened almost in a daze from Jimin's action, Jimin simply smiled and stepped away. What the hell? Jungkook thought to himself, turning over on the couch.

As much as he didn't want to he brushed it off and chose to sleep, hopeful he'd retain every little memory from that moment, or be able to redo it.

A few hours later when Jungkook awoke he was was puzzled by not hearing the notorious giggles that Jeonsan would constantly emit, or the sounds of Jimin's light chuckles while he played with him. Instead he was met with dead silence, the pure stillness of the apartment irking him.

"Jimin?" he mumbled groggily, stumbling into the bedroom...he wasn't there and neither was Jeonsan, he walked over to the the kitchen noticing a small note placed on the the table.

I went over Jin's. I'm going to be there for a bit, I made you some lunch it's in the fridge, we'll be back in a few hours. ♡︎

Jungkook stared at the little heart drawn at the edge of the paper and smiled. He ruffled his hair, poking his tongue at the inside of his cheek. He had such high hopes for him and Jimin, wanting something more than they already seemed to have. At first he was pretty positive it was just him who wanted it, but earlier Jimin proved him wrong.
