Taekook ?? "UNEXPECTED LOVE"

Chapter 16

Taehyung's patience frayed. He tossed his sleeping mask towards the couch. "Here! Use this, then."

Later, in the dead of night, a burning sensation in Taehyung's chest woke him. His vision blurred. "Jungkook..." he croaked, but the other slept soundly ignoring his dizziness, Taehyung stumbled towards him, reaching out. All he got was a dismissive wave. "Argh, don't... Just sleep, Mister. I'm not buying it. I'm already exhausted." Taehyung tried again, gently tapping on his shoulder , but Jungkook reacted with a frustrated yell, his arm flailing out and knocking Taehyung away more harshly this time. His unsteady state caused him to lose his balance completely.

The thud of Taehyung's fall jolted Jungkook awake. He stared, startled, at Taehyung lying unconscious on the floor. Panic flared. He rushed to his side, checking his pulse, calling his name. When Taehyung didn't respond, Jungkook grabbed water and sprinkled it on his face. Taehyung's eyes fluttered open, still blurred. Understanding flashed in Jungkook's eyes. He quickly retrieved honey, feeding it to Taehyung. Color slowly returned to Taehyung's face, his breathing steadying.

Relief washed over Jungkook as he cradled the weakened Taehyung, a heavy wave of guilt crashing down on him. "Mister Kim," he whispered, his voice thick with remorse, tears pricking at his eyes. "I... I'm extremely sorry. Please, forgive my carelessness. I just... wasn't paying attention."

"Shut up," Taehyung rasped, a weak cough rattling his chest. He tried to push himself up, a flicker of his usual annoyance in his eyes despite his pallor. Jungkook gently but firmly kept him still. "What do you want now?" Taehyung's voice was thin, the fight draining out of him. "I... I'm truly sorry, Mister," Jungkook stammered, his heart aching. "I... I misjudged... Please, just let me help you."

Ignoring Jungkook's choked apologies, Taehyung attempted to sit up again. But Jungkook, his face etched with concern, carefully scooped him into his arms. A flash of fury crossed Taehyung's face, a stark contrast to his fragile state. "What the hell are you doing? Put me down!" he demanded weakly, struggling against Jungkook's hold.

With a heavy heart, Jungkook carried him to the bed, laying him down with the utmost care. The moment Taehyung was horizontal, his hand shot out, grabbing Jungkook's collar in a surprisingly strong grip. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" he hissed, his eyes blazing with a mixture of anger and vulnerability. Gently, Jungkook placed his own hand over Taehyung's, his touch soft but firm. "I said... I'm sorry."

After Taehyung swallowed the pill, Jungkook gently tucked the blanket around him. Hesitating for a moment, a faint blush creeping up his neck, Jungkook quickly settled beside him, facing Taehyung, his eyes squeezed shut. "Really going to sleep here?" Taehyung asked, his voice still a bit weak but laced with surprise.

Jungkook simply nodded, his eyes remaining tightly closed. A small smile touched Taehyung's lips. He turned towards Jungkook, drawing closer to his face, "You sure you can fall asleep next to me?" Jungkook could feel Taehyung's warm breath and subtle scent near his lips. He swallowed hard, his eyes fluttering open hesitantly. "I... I'm safe... You're still weak."

Taehyung chuckled softly. "So confident, huh?" He closed the remaining space between them.
"G... good night, Mister," Jungkook stammered, quickly turning his back, his nerves on edge. Taehyung's gaze lingered on the curve of Jungkook's back, an undeniable hunger in his eyes. His hand hovered in the air, as if longing to touch. Jungkook seemed to sense the unspoken tension. "You can," he murmured under his breath.

"Hmm?" Taehyung asked, surprised.
Jungkook repeated, a hint of invitation in his voice, "If you want... just put your hands on me."

A predatory happiness, tinged with more lust, spread across Taehyung's face. In a swift movement, he pulled Jungkook closer, enveloping them both in the blanket. His hand slid down Jungkook's buttocks, tracing a path to his rear before moving to cup his groin, pulling him flush against his body.

Jungkook choked, a whirlwind of emotions swirling within him. His eyes squeezed shut even tighter. "W..why their?" But, their bodies had already begun to communicate. Taehyung's hand loosened its grip, sliding up Jungkook's body, pressing them together until there was barely air passing between them. "We've already wasted time, haven't we?" Taehyung murmured, his breath warm against Jungkook's nape, brushing his nose tip softly on his skin.
"Mister... a..am sleepy." Goosebumps prickled Jungkook's skin.  A flutter of butterflies erupted in his stomach. Jungkook couldn't deny the feeling, the closeness... it felt so, so good. "Hm... Let's just sleep."
