Jimin's POV:

I checked behind after noticing the light dissipating completely, the darkness of the forest taking over like a veil. I lighted up a stick and tied it on the side of the saddle, using it as the only source of light. The wild wind was almost piercing through all corners of my body. Even in this state, I continued looking for a shelter, an opening in the mountain getting my attention. My thoughts were all over the place, but I managed to lead the horse inside, dismounting and pulling Jungkook down, leaning his back against the wall, sitting him down on the floor.

It was clear that his thigh was the one giving him problems. I took my backpack and thanked all the saints that I had a first aid kit inside, not even remembering when I put it there. It didn't even matter. I focused on treating his wound the best I could, cleaning the infection and carefully bandaging it. He was exhausted, yet his pulse and breaths were starting to get back to normal.

It was hard to fall asleep, nothing seeming to feel safe. I moved closer to Jungkook and covered both of us with the thick blanket. Somehow, after closing my eyes, I felt just like in the good old times: cuddled on the sofa, sleeping together only 5 minutes after putting a movie on, nothing being more important or intense than our warmth and love. I sighed and fell asleep after some time, my dreams being sweet and impossible compared to the reality which came back right as I opened my eyes in the morning.

...

"Hey..." I whispered and gently shook Jungkook's shoulder. I kissed his lips and smiled as he automatically kissed back even if his eyes were still closed. He opened them and looked at me, confused.
"Hm, hey..."
"Hungry?"
"I can't be hungry if I am dreaming..."
"You're not dreaming."
"Yea, I am. Heh, you're not real, Jimin-ah..."
I was worried, but I understood what was happening. I put the bowl with instant soup down, moving close and hugging Jungkook with all the love I could offer, kissing his lips hardly, whispering into them. "I am real... I know it seems impossible after all that has happened, but I am real and we're back together..."
"Are you-"
"Yeah, I am." I had patience and waited until his arms finally wrapped around me as well, hugging me just as tightly, kissing back and staying like that until everything became clear.
"But don't you hate me...?"
"Why would I?"
"For running away... this wouldn't have happened if I would have listened... I am sorry."
"Don't blame yourself. They were mean to hold us back in the first place. I should be sorry for not being able to pull you up."
"I don't care about them. I just wanted to be free with you, not listen to their stupid rules."
"Me too... and now we are together."
"Hm, yeah we are. I love you, Jimin-ah."
I smiled and patted his back. "I love you too, Jungkookie."

I picked up the bowl again and giggled. "But even if I love you so much, I still have to force you to eat this stuff. I know you don't like it..."
"What is this?" He said and sniffed it, scrunching his nose. "Chicken?"
"Uhhh, yeah."
"Worst chicken of my life."
We both laughed while eating and then leaned back against the wall, resting and enjoying the spacious place.
"You found a pretty good cave, no joke."
"For you? Anything..." I said and smirked, looking away and giggling after while looking at a smiling Jungkook.
"Really now? What if I ask you to block that door and stay here until we get better? If we get a fire to warm up, we can even sleep naked-"
I was widening my eyes, images already forming in my head. "Wh-"
"What?"
"You almost made me choke. Are you okay? A fever-"
"Aysh, stop playing. You know you love it."
"I do, but-"
"Then let's do it. I am suree wounds heal the best if we treat our bodies with... pleasure..." He cleared his throat and put the empty bowl down, taking mine, reminding me that I still had the last bite to chew. "You're zoning out on me already, Jimin-ssi."
"I'm not... I am totally just shocked of your thoughts, considering the fact that you were on the edge of passing away in that snow."
Jungkook crossed his arms and stared at me, trying to intimidate me, so I mirrored his pose.
"Oh yeah?"
"Oh. Hell yeah."
"Then, back away and sit down. If I can walk to you without stumbling, you owe me a blowjob. If I stumble, I owe you one. Sounds good?"
"Shit... he is really not dropping it..." I thought and didn't realize I whispered it, his smile slowly appearing on his face.
"Sooooo?"
"Fine. Even if I am pretty sure you won't even be able to sit up."
"Don't underestimate your enemy..." He said with a playful grin and gestured me to back away to the other end of the cave, leaving about 10 meters between us. I sat down and leaned against the wall, looking at him.
"Ready when you are...!" I chuckled and whispered to myself again. "Heh... loser..."

I watched how he leaned his hand on the wall, slowly getting up without stumbling, his movements being smooth and he always kept his eyes on me and on the ground. He walked carefully, not soliciting his wounded leg too much, making his way towards me making it seem easy. When he reached my side, he sat down on my lap and held on me.
"I feel like a kid learning how to walk..."
"I am surprised though"
"Yeah, well, the prize is what motivated me..."

I shook my head and sighed. "You little pervert..."
"Hey! I am not a pervert. It's fair play, besides, we don't have anything better to do."
He was kinda right, it wasn't much to do while being stuck in a cave around midnight.

"So what now?" I looked at him and tilted my head.
"Help me undress, I will help you too... less time wasted, more fun to come right?"

...

The shuffling sound between us was taking over the whole place, our moans muffled by each other's mouth. It was going slow, nothing like we were doing it at home... Maybe because I was more careful and Jungkook was also paying attention to where his hands were going, but also because we were both tired after such an adventure. However, this one was more passionate, like a reward for finding each other. His lips tastes sweeter than even, touches felt warmer and more intense, I just wanted to hold and stay as close as possible, not letting go. For a fact, we were as close as it could ever be, on top of each other and inside each other. The fire and our bodies were warm, but it was not matching the heat around myself while being inside him and also not reaching the level of pleasure we both felt when having our tongues all scattered between each other's mouth. We didn't even know who's drool it was all over our lips, but who cared anyway? Hmm... come to think of it not even our blood was separated now. The wounds on our arms and cheeks was pretty much smeared from one to the other, but again, who cared? After all, the most important thing was-

"Jimin-ah?"
"Yeah?" I lifted my head instantly and stared at Jungkook, his tone being the reason why my level of awareness spiked up. He pointed to our left, a little upwards.
I looked at that side and shrugged confused. "What's there?"
"Can we explore further inside tomorrow morning?"
"You sure? We can just go out and try to find a way back to the city."
"Yeah, but... isn't the whole forest swarming with patrols now? The cave is already blocked so it would cause some noise to push those rocks away, and then what? What if they take us?"
"They would take us to the city..."
"You trust them?"
"No."
"Me neither..."
"So exploring stays?" I asked with a skeptical smile on my lips.
We both nodded and hummed in agreement, enjoying our time close to each other, eventually falling asleep till morning, never moving an inch away.
