《🔥》why me?

Jungkook's pov

Taehyung-ssi is a kind man. He's also very handsome, I have to admit. I trust him. Usually people just feel sorry for me but he doesn't treat me like some lost cause. He treats me like a decent human, like we're on the same level.

I feel like a burden to him because he's wasting so much every day just so I wouldn't starve. I still don't understand why he's treating me like this but I don't really want it to end.

There he was again this morning. He walked up to me with his cute boxy smile. I wonder how I got his attention in the first place. I'm no better than that trash can on the other side of the road.

Oh? He didn't enter the store, but sat down next to me.

"Morning!" he said and ruffled my hair. I know I'm homeless but he makes me feel so self-conscious sometimes.

"Morning Taehyung-ssi" I slightly bow.

"Hey um...I really don't know how to say this.." he started playing with his fingers.

Weird... What if he got tired of wasting money to buy me food? What if he wants me to go away? I would understand that anyway... I'm such a burden, I knew it.

"Do you uh want to come to my house?" he asked and looked at me.

To say that I was surprised is an understatement. Me. Going to his house.

"What?" I asked, not believing him.

"Would you like to move in with me? In my house?"

No way. This might be a prank. But then again, he wouldn't do that. I could see he's honest. But if I accepted that'd make me look desperate, wouldn't it?

Ah what do I say... Of course I couldn't just move in with him just like that. People who know him will think he's weird for asking someone who lives on the streets to move in with him.

Taehyung's pov

Please say yes. Please say yes. Please say yes. Please say yes. Please-

"I just...I can't move in with you sir..." there he goes again with the formalities. I told him countless of times to call me 'hyung'. "I can't accept all of that. A place to live for free. It just isn't right. I'm sorry."

There goes my hope out the window.

"Please just think about it! Maybe while living with me you can find a job and pay me back if you want. Or~ you could... maybe clean around my house when I'm at work. Just think about it! I'll wait." I said, basically begging. Why is he so nice, for Christ's sake.

I should've said I could pay him for cleaning. I wasn't thinking exactly right at the time, so logic was hardly an option.

He hesitated but still answered. "I will... I will think about it. Thank you for the offer."

Now that's the spirit!

"Well then, tell me your answer whenever you're ready." I told him and went to the store to get food.

That didn't go as planned. But it's okay! He said he'll think about it. I'll make sure to make him agree. I have my charms.

\/three days later\/

This isn't progressing. He didn't mention anything about moving in with me. That was a bad sign, right?

Today I bought him a hot chocolate and two croissants for dinner because it was very cold. He was sleeping. Weird.. He didn't use to sleep in the afternoon.

As adorable as he looked while sleeping I had to wake him up and make him drink some hot chocolate to warm up. I shook him a little but he didn't budge. I pinched his cheeks and that's when I felt it. He was sick. His forehead was burning!

What to do, what to do...Oh! I had medicine at home. But of course it wouldn't work if he'll lay on the streets while he's sick. Now it was time to think. Would he hate me and be scared of me if I bring him to my house, or would he understand that I did it so his fever would go away?

Not that I had that much time to think. The more he'd stay outside like that, the worse his cold would get... You know what? Screw it.

I picked him up bridal style and went to my house. People gave us disgusted stares because I was carrying a homeless man. As if I cared about that.

When I got home with Jungkook still in my arms I took two minutes to think again. My room or the guest room? He'd probably think I'm a pervert if I get him to my room. Yup, the guest room. It was going to be his room if he decides to stay anyway. And hopefully he will.

I layed him down on the bed and covered him with two thick blankets. I went to the kitchen to get some pills for his fever and a glass of water. I waited for a few minutes by his side until he woke up.

He opened his eyes a little but then panicked when he saw he's in an unknown place. I tried to calm him down and gave him the pills and the glass of water. He was hesitant but he took them. After he put the glass back on the nightstand he looked around.

"Is this your house?" he asked with a weak voice.

"Yeah. We're in a guest room. But it can be your room if you want" I answered and winked. I'm an idiot. Forget I ever said something about me being charming.

"I should- I should go" he coughed. Oh I would let him go if he wasn't basically coughing his lungs out. He ain't going anywhere like that.

"no, you will stay in here. At least until you get better if you still don't want to move in here." he didn't say anything so I continued. "You could work for me. You may live in here but you'll have to keep the house clean if you really want to do something. House chores you know.. Just please stay in here." I stared into his eyes. At this point I think I stared into his soul because he looked away.

"Why me?" he asked after a while.

I leaned in to his ear and whispered "Because I trust you". That's half of the truth but I couldn't say anything about my feelings. Not until I'm absolutely sure of them, at least.

I stood up and went to the door.

"You are legally not allowed to get out of this room until tomorrow morning." I said on a serious tone and pointed at him. "You may take a shower, change your clothes, whatever else you want. Good night!" I smiled and closed the door. I think that was a kind of creepy, that's my bad. I don't know how to make people feel welcome.

You probably wouldn't believe me but I slept like a baby. Knowing Jungkook was sleeping in the same house as me felt amazing. Imagine how I will feel when we'll sleep in the same bed- but we've got a long way to go until that happens.
