Caregiver | Part 35

🍂

One fine day... after a few months...

"Hey Kookie, you sure you don't want to come over? You're gonna miss it though." You asked, over the phone.

"It's not that I don't want to come. I told you, I can't come today. I need to catch up with all of these minute meetings and such." Replied Jungkook in frustration. You chuckled a little.

"Okay I gotta go. Talk to you later soon. Bye!"

"Okay bye—" but he didn't got that because he ended the phone call. You shook your head, then walked away to find Taehyung.

He was in the living room when you excused yourself to make a call, and now he was nowhere to be found there. "Huh... Taehyung? Where are you?"

"In here!"

"Oh okay." You turned around and headed to his room. You knocked the door a little, but the sound was loud enough for him to hear it.

"I need your help." He said, and you nodded as you walked in.

"What can I help you with?"

He took out two pairs of shorts from the drawer and showed them to you. "Should I wear the dark grey one, or this maroon?"

You compared the shorts, and imagined each of the shorts on him. "How about the maroon one?"

"Good choice. I'm thinking the same too." He put away the dark grey shorts back in the drawer.

"Then why are you asking me to choose when you had the maroon one in mind?" You crossed your arms.

He stared at you for a moment, then a huge grin appeared on his face. "In case we're not in the same page, you know."

You shook your head, and you loosened your arms. "Still need my help?"

He nodded without even having a second thought. He inserted both legs into the shorts and extended his arms at you.

"Help me up please~" he made a 'pick me up gesture' like a kid, and it definitely amused you to see such grown man acting like a baby.

"Okay, you big baby."

You hugged his upper body and with all of your might you heaved him up from the wheelchair. He bent over a little to pull the shorts up from his feet.

He was in his boxer but it's nothing unusual for you now. Still, you were relieved that he wore a huge boxer instead of the tight one, so it looked like he was wearing another pair of shorts.

"Oh, almost forgot. I got something for you. It's somewhere on the bed." Said Taehyung, pointing at his bed behind you.

"Okay." You assisted him as you lead him to the bed, and bad timing works at its finest when you stepped over something on the floor. You tripped, and since your arm were still secured his upper body...

...it's pretty much fortunate that no one got hurt. Not even Taehyung. Your back safely landed on the bed, and Taehyung...

...was on top of you.

You were stunned, lips sealed tight and your normal breathing pattern somehow disrupted by the closeness of his face from yours. You gulped, didn't know how to react.

"Well, this is unexpected." He said, in half whisper.

"I... I'm sorry I didn't mean to... I stepped on something... on the floor..." you stammered, attempting to jerk your head up to point at the object that made you lost your balance.
