Jungkook feels like his heart is shattering every time he hears the blue haired boy whimper in pain. Jungkook has been applying some ice pack on his bruises on his face and arms as Taehyung lays down on the bed. Once he is done, he decides to remove Taehyung's shirt and check if there are any other bruises.

As he goes on to pull on his roommate's shirt, he hears a faint, "N-No, pl-please." leaving Taehyung's mouth. He instantly looks at the other whose eyes are squeezed shut but tears slide down his cheeks nonetheless. It's obvious that Taehyung is in pain. So much pain.

"Taehyung, hey sweetie. A-Are you okay?" Jungkook's own voice stammers. He just cannot see the sight of his roommate like this. He just wants to rip apart whoever did this to his roommate and put a fucking bullet through their head.

"J-Jungkook!" Taehyung cries instead of replying. The call for him sounds so heartbreaking that Jungkook feels someone just stabbed him.

He inches closer to Taehyung and very gently puts his hand on the other's face, being careful with his bruises and busted lips. "Shhhh, Jungkook is here, prince. It's okay."

"Jungkook!" Taehyung cries again. His eyes are closed but he somehow manages to clutch on the cherry haired boy's shirt. Jungkook blinks his eyes multiple times in order to not cry.

Who would have thought that the big, bad, soon to be mafia boss, who has lost count of the number of people he has killed, would be crying over a boy who is merely beat up. If Jimin saw him like this, he would think that his best friend got possessed or something.

"Jungkook is here, baby. Tell Jungkook what happened." Jungkook asks, his voice so soft. His hands gently wipe away Taehyung's tears and he bends down to kiss his forehead. Taehyung slowly opens his eyes and a sob leaves his mouth when he finally sees his roommate.

"I-It hurts, K-Kookie. It hurts so m-much. I f-feel like dy-dying. IT H-HURTS. IT HURTS!" Taehyung suddenly starts shouting. He feels agitated. They say when you get hurt, you feel the actual pain when you go to sleep. Well, that's what is happening with Taehyung. Suddenly everything became too much. He wants to scream, scream and scream until he passes out. At least it won't hurt so bad then. He won't feel it.

"I know, baby. I-I know. Calm down, yeah? Hoseok hyung will be here in a second with your medicines. Everything will be okay." Jungkook says to the sobbing boy. He bites his own lip to prevent a sob from escaping his mouth.

"Tae, let me remove your shirt. I need to check if there are any bruises underneath." Jungkook says all this while continuously pecking Taehyung's forehead, hoping to comfort him in some way or the other.

Taehyung nods and tries to get up but he is too hurt to move. He falls back on the bed and sobs again. Jungkook looks at him with sad eyes and says, "Baby, let me carry you to the bathroom. Let me take care of you." Taehyung nods again. He feels like shit. He feels weak and pathetic but that is something normal for him now. He is being so weak in front of Jungkook. Why does he always appear so weak in front of him?

But he cannot do anything about it. He is glad he at least has Jungkook. His roommate helps him and takes care of him. Had it been someone else in his place, they would have let him die.

Suddenly Taehyung feels himself getting lifted from the bed. He groans in pain and his arms automatically make their way around Jungkook's neck for support. "It hurts, Kookie. It h-hurts so much. Please m-make it st-stop. Please. Pl-Please. I'll die. I'll-"

"Nothing will happen to you, my little baby." Jungkook whispers in his ears, trying his best to calm him down. He carries Taehyung to the washroom and makes him sit on the slab of the sink.

"I'm going to remove your shirt, okay?" Jungkook says. Taehyung nods. His breath is raging. What if Jungkook thinks he is ugly after seeing him?

Wait, he is ugly. He doesn't need Jungkook to look at his bruises to determine that.

He sees the other unbuttoning his shirt. Taehyung closes his eyes once the shirt is gone and the cold air touches his skin. He cannot look at Jungkook right now. He is not ready to see the disgust in his eyes. He cannot have Jungkook, who keeps telling him that he is beautiful, think that he is ugly. But guess you can't change facts now can you?

"Oh my... Tae, what even happened to you?" Jungkook shrieks as soon as his eyes land on Taehyung's stomach and chest. There is not a single patch of skin that is not bruised.

"Tae, we need to go to the hospital. We-" Jungkook panics but his voice is cut off by Taehyung's small voice.

"N-No. Don't take me to the hos-hospital." Taehyung says, his eyes shine with tears.

"But Tae-"

"Please, Jungkook." He whimpers again. Jungkook cannot help but nod at his words. He starts putting the ice pack on Taehyung's bruises. The blue haired boy hisses and holds Jungkook's shoulders for support.

The other boy has a lot of questions on his mind. But he decides to wait. He will wait for Taehyung to feel better first and them ask him who did this to him. But Jungkook already has his guesses.

It's been almost a week since they had sex. After that, the both of them got busy. Jungkook's father had asked him to get detailed information about their allies and also their rivals. He needs to know everything if he wants to become a good boss. He has been using his spare time in trying to find out more information about Taehyung but his luck is not on his side. He could not find much about the blue haired angel's family. The information about them is so vague. Jungkook wonders if they even live in South Korea or not.

Apart from all this, the boys also have their mid terms coming up soon. The both of them have been too busy. They didn't even get to talk much. Well, Jungkook stays away from his room a lot again for obvious reasons. He cannot be doing what he had been doing in Taehyung's presence. He is also really upset after finding out that Taehyung works for Mekong.

He feels betrayed. He could not help but think of Taehyung as a double faced bastard, acting all innocent in front of him while working with drugs behind his back.

But seeing Taehyung's state today, Jungkook wonders if he even works for Mekong voluntarily. Jungkook has his suspicion that this state of Taehyung is because of that fucking gang. His roommate was all okay before he left for work.

Even though Jungkook didn't talk much to Taehyung or even stayed in his vicinity because he felt anger from betrayal, he cannot help but feel sad for him. The new information he got from Seokjin did not change his feeling for the blue haired boy.

"K-Kookie, y-you got cherry hair." Taehyung whispers. Jungkook looks at him and his heart skips a beat when he sees a little smile on the other's face. He is so happy to see that. Taehyung's crying face is not something he likes at all.

"Yeah." Jungkook smiles back as he keeps away the ice pack.

"You didn't even tell me." Taehyung says. Jungkook cups his face and very gently rests their foreheads together. "Let's just say, I wanted to surprise you."

"Oh." Taehyung blushes.

"Do you like it?"

"It suits you." Taehyung says. Jungkook thanks him and carries him again to their room. "But you should've told me. I'm shocked seeing you like this." Taehyung pouts. He just doesn't want the conversation to end. He didn't like it when Jungkook and he didn't spend much time together this week. He always asked Jungkook if they could talk or even just work on their project together because that would mean they could spend time together but Jungkook just said they can do that after exams and that he needs to study with Jimin. Taehyung wanted to study with him too and seeing his roommate always out of their room made him sad.

"Oh it was a sudden plan. Jimin wanted to dye his hair black. I accompanied him to the salon but then I wondered if cherry hair would look good on me and tried it on." Jungkook says, placing the boy gently on his bed and covering him with the blanket.

He himself sits on the floor next to him and holds his hand. He does not want to leave Taehyung's side. Not even for a second.

"Wait, so Jimin has black hair now? I thought he was naturally blonde." Taehyung says, making his eyes wide.

Jungkook chuckles. He is glad that Taehyung got distracted from all the pain. "He gets that a lot." The cherry haired boy replies.

The two of them stare at each other without saying anything for a while. It got proved again how Jungkook's presence makes Taehyung feel better. Well, he is still in pain but he feels safe. Like no one can harm him now. He feels internal peace for some reason.

Soon there's a knock at the door. Taehyung stiffens and clutches Jungkook's hand tighter. The cherry haired male smiles at him and bends down to kiss his forehead again.

"It must be Hoseok hyung. He went to get medicines for you." Jungkook says ruffling his hair before getting up to open the door.

"Can you like--- open the door quickly, Jungkook? You don't want me to pee in front of your fucking door." Hoseok's voice holds urgency and even though it hurts, Taehyung cannot help but laugh as Jungkook rushes to the door and yanks it open.
