~ Both A Little Scared, Then Somebody Bends, Unexpectedly ~

* TAEHYUNG'S POV *

"Jin hyung! Catch!", Jimin said as he threw the glass jug at the said male. 

"Park Jimin! I swear if I find you throwing around jugs, I'll be grounding you! For a month!", Jin hyung yelled while Jimin looked unbothered to say the least. 

I sighed at them. 

They were a lost cause. 

"Hyung. Jimin. Can we fucking get going!? Why are you taking so much preparation!?", I complained. 

"This is nothing! Nothing compared to what I could've done! You should've told me yesterday!", Jin hyung fretted as he walked around the apartment with a checklist in hand. 

"And have you prepare a whole five course meal for him!?", I yelled, exasperated at his actions. 

Jin hyung shot me a glare before going and pestering Joon hyung to help him out with carrying the things. 

I shook my head slightly. 

"I feel like fucking walking out right now. These idiots...", Yoongi hyung said in an undertone, which didn't go amiss by me. 

"I just don't see why we couldn't have ordered takeout instead of carrying the entire kitchen to the garage!", I muttered, clearly annoyed at not being punctual. 

I was so displeased. 

I wanted him to see me set up the equipment. 

Instead, we'll be playing house over there.

Perhaps, we should add barbie dolls to the list as well. 

And speaking of barbie dolls...

"Ya! Namjoon-ah! Where are my pink earmuffs!? With those cute lil' barbie designs.", Jin hyung yelled the roof down. 

"Jin. I swear to fucking God, leave your stupid obsession with pink for now! You can take my blue earmuffs.", Yoongi hyung said with sigh. 

Jin hyung looked ready to cry, but accepted the earmuffs nevertheless. 

- TIME SKIP TO THEM REACHING THE GARAGE - 

"Hey. Sorry, I'm a bit late.", Jungkook said as he hung his coat on the coat hanger. 

"It's fine. We're back here!", I said as I finished taking the guitar out from the case. 

"Oops!", he said as he stepped on a mitten as he navigated his way through the small and low hung garage. 

"This isn't much, but it's the best we got.", I said as I grimaced slightly. 

Joon hyung looked apologetically in my direction but I shrugged it off. 

Isn't wasn't his fault...

"I love it.", he whispered as he smiled at the six of us. 

My breath hitched slightly and I felt a rush of emotions for the guy standing in front of me. 

No one had ever loved it before...

But...

I guess you were meant to be...

The first...

"Thanks.", I said breathily after staring at him for a few seconds. 

"Um...I know this isn't much...um...butIgotyousomecookies!", he said hurriedly as he shoved a huge box into our hands before shoving them into his pocket. 

I peered at it closely before looking at him in a confused manner. 

"What's in there!?", Jimin asked as he took the box from me and opened it. 

The very next second, the entire garage was filled with the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked cookies, straight out from the oven. 

"You didn't have to...", I said as I looked at him. 

Why were you...

Doing such things...

That made me wanna embrace you...

With every fibre of my body...

I shook my head slightly and smiled at him. 

"Jimin-ah! You're gonna make them go cold!", Jin hyung fretted as he took the container from Jimin's hand and headed towards the makeshift kitchen in the garage. 

"Jungkook-ah. Stay for dinner tonight. Jin hyung went all out and he would hate if you didn't stay.", Hoseok hyung said as he draped his arm around JK's shoulder. 

"Um...I shouldn't intrude...", he said, his cheeks burning up. 

"Fuck off with the niceties and live a bit, will ya!?", I reproached him as I pulled him to the couch. 

He doesn't answer back, only allowing himself to be led by me. 

Underneath my touch, his hand felt thin and frail, bony from the supposed lack of nourishment. 

"Have you been eating well?", I asked as we settled down on the couch. 

"Have you ever tried hospital food before?", he counter questions. 

I shook my head. 

"Then lemme tell you that it sucks! Big Time!", he said as he crinkled his nose in disgust. 

I chuckled slightly. 

"It's true!", he whined as he tugged at my shirt sleeves, trying to convince me. 

"I know, Doll.", I said with a swift smile, as his cheeks erupted in the same hue I loved to witness. 

"P-People w-will h-hear!", JK said frantically as he averted his face from my eyes. 

"My huyngs don't give a fuck, JK. We're safe. And it's a cute nickname!", I said as I tugged at his chin to meet his deep hazel eyes. 

He nodded before looking away. 

"Open to some company?", Yoongi hyung asked as he walked over with a guitar in hand. 

I shrugged as he took the seat beside JK. 

I felt JK shift closer, practically sitting on my lap. 

Not that I would mind that. 

I carefully rested my hand on his waist as he looked up at me with confusion filled eyes. 

"Just this evening.", I whispered as he blushed, not opposing the contact. 

My heart skipped a bit at his acceptance. 

Perhaps...

He liked me...

Or...

He was just trying not to offend me...

Why were you so difficult to read, JK...

Yoongi hyung started strumming a few strings, some unknown melody playing. 

But it all was in the background. 

The only thing I could focus on was JK. 

And his body pressed against me. 

"FOOD INCOMING!!", Jimin shouted from the kitchen as he plopped down on my lap with a plate of cookies. 

I stole one from there and gave one to JK. 

"Hey! These are mine!", Jimin whined playfully but the smile on his face said otherwise. 

"And now they are ours.", I said and looked at JK with a huge grin. 

JK smiled back and nodded in agreement. 

"Park Jimin! Get your ass in the kitchen this very instant! How dare you take possession of the eatables without my permission!", Jin hyung's voice bellowed from the interior of the makeshift kitchen. 

I sighed. 

Trust Jimin to make life chaotic. 

"Hyung...please save me...", Jimin said in a baby-like voice as he stared at Yoongi hyung. 

"No.", he said and went back to playing the guitar. 

"Please!! I will do anything!!", Jimin said with a small pout and stood in front of Yoongi hyung, towering over him with his monstrous height of 5'4. 

(a/n : Sorry to interrupt but had to say this - even in this au Jimin will forever remain our short bb🥺✌🏻)

Yoongi hyung looked up at him with a scowl before giving in and putting down his guitar and walking into the kitchen with Jimin in tow. 

Jimin stopped in front of the entrance to the interior and turned to throw a wink in my direction before disappearing altogether. 

Realisation dawned upon me as I smiled a bit. 

So it was all a plan...

To leave us to our sweet musings...

A quiet comfort descended upon us, not stifling yet bearable. 

JK nibbled at his cookie, making him look like a cute little bunny. 

If this were a different time...

Maybe we could've...

No...

I'm not going to dwell on these thoughts today...

I'm going to live in the present...

This moment...

I will savour...

"Tae?", JK asked in a cute voice as he peered up at me. 

I looked at him, urging him to go on. 

"W-What a-are y-you...thinking?", he stuttered as he struggled to keep his ears from turning red. 

"Nothing that you should worry about, Doll.", I said as I stroked his cheek with my index finger. 

"Ok!", he said as he went back to eating that single cookie. 

"Hey...you have something on your lips.", I teased as I smirked at him. 

 He turned red as he said,"W-What!?" 

"Right here.", I said as pointed at the location on my lips. 

"Here?", he asked as he touched the opposite corner of his lips. 

"No, Doll. You got it pegged up all wrong.", I said as my lips turned up in a smirk.

He frowned slightly, looking a little lost. 

"I'll help, Doll.", I said as I wiped off the non-existent cookie crumbs, that had settled down on his upper lip, with a swipe of my thumb. 

He turned red and muttered something which sounded closely like a 'thank you'. 

"Hey Doll...Wanna hear something?", I asked, my tone raspy and heavily laced with emotion. 

He nods eagerly, waiting for me to continue. 

I take the abandoned guitar on the couch and settle it on my lap, playing in position. 

JK's eyes widen as he turns to face me eagerly, his eyes filled with the same spark which had drawn me in that very first day. 

"I wanna play you a song.", I said as I start tuning the guitar. 

"I've been working on my English this past year. It still has a Korean twist to it though.", I continued and laughed a nervous laugh. 

"I'm sure it'll be amazing.", he said in a low whisper as he cupped my cheek, making my eyes shoot to his deep hazels. 

"Your eyes...they speak, Tae...they speak of pain...", he muttered, probably to his own self. 

"Doll? You alright?", I asked, a bit worried. 

I didn't want him to feel stressed...

It wasn't good for his condition...

"Hmm...I'm sorry.", he said as he dropped his hand from my cheek, the cold air replacing the warmth of his hand. 

I wonder what he meant...

By those words...

I started strumming the strings whilst humming 'Fly Me To The Moon' by Frank Sinatra. 

"Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars 
Let me see what Spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me" 

I finished playing the melody, the blood pounding in my ears. 

I sang my heart out. 

Nervous, I snuck a peek at him, only to find him covering his mouth with the back of his palm. 

"Doll?", I asked, my voice heavy. 

"It was beautiful, Tae...", he trailed off, smiling his heartbreaking smile. 

Now, it was my turn to blush. 

"I-I...thank you.", I managed to say before I let my emotions run wild. 

I wanted to pull him close...

So close that neither of us could breathe...

"Tae...you have a beautiful voice. Never lose it.", JK said as he took my pinky in his. 

"Promise me.", he said as he looked at me in all his seriousness. 

"As long as you promise that you'll fight with all your might against the Cancer.", I said in the spur of the moment. 

I meant it though. 

I wanted us to live. 

To see the daylight together. 

As friends, brothers, lovers...

Anything...

As long as you are by my side...

It'll be fine...

I know it...

"I promise.", he whispered as he tugged at my pinky. 

"Then...I promise too.", I said with a smile that probably could light us the entire of Seoul at this very moment. 

Nothing...

Can ever compare to what I feel for you, JK...

What I want...

Is you...

You...

Are my happiness...
