A/N: Don't be scared by the title ^^
-
The flashing of red light is hypnotizing. The screaming of the sirens is static in his ears.
As Jungkook's limp body is hauled into the ambulance, Taehyung is in a daze.
As the paramedics hook the ravenette into an oxygen pump and frantically monitor his condition, he is in a daze.
As they stop at the hospital and rush Jungkook into ICU, Taehyung is in a daze.
Colours blur into white and words merge into white noise. He still can't process what happened.
One minute he is seconds away from death.
The next, he sees Jungkook, a bullet wound in his gut.
And then he hears those words.
"I love you"
The words he's been dying to hear for the longest time. The words he was craving for from the very core of his heart. The words he never thought he'd hear from Jungkook.
He's heard them now.
God, they were beautiful. So light, frail, delicate.
But the heaviness behind each syllable, the heartbreaking tremble in his tone as he said it, the melancholy it held;
Taehyung had always wanted Jungkook to say those words to him.
But he never wanted them to be his last.
Taehyung sighs with a heavy heart as he listens to the dull patter of rain outside, his mind reeling back into his memories with every silvery droplet that collides with the ground.
"What's wrong?" Taehyung asks softly, breaking Jungkook from his thoughts.
Thunder crashes around the school and Jungkook slightly tenses at the sound. He looks up at the boy sitting on his lap and stares into his sparkling doe eyes.
He lets out a small breath. "I'm afraid."
Taehyung furrows his eyebrows even further. "Of what?"
A spark of lightning crackles across the sky, brightening up the dim room with a hue of electric blue.
"Of storms," comes the timid reply, something rather unexpected from someone so strong and powerful like Jeon Jungkook.
Despite stereotypes, even a big scary lion needs some hands to cradle it in times of fear. Taehyung knows this.
And so he smiles softly as he wraps his hands around Jungkook, bringing him into a tight embrace.
"It's okay, I'll protect you," says the tiny boy as he clings onto the other's much larger body.

"Kim Taehyung?" A voice calls out to him. Taehyung pokes his head up to see a man in a white coat looking around.
He abruptly stands up and walks over to the doctor. "A-Ah yes, that's me. Ho-How's Jungkook?" He asks, urging his voice to not quiver.
The doctor sighs, looking over at the boy with a calm expression. But Taehyung notices the glint in his eyes. There's something else there. Pity.
"I'm sorry to inform this to you but the patient was in a very critical condition. He didn't make it. He died during the surgery."
The words cause Taehyung to freeze. Did he hear that correctly?
