• Part 12 - CLOSE•

Y/ n was layed in the upper bunker, completely wrapped in blankets as she kept groaning in her sleep. I went closer, examined the bed, and knew it right away. 'If her pillow was really wet.. then she might have a fever.' I turned the fan off, 'Why is this on?' and hurriedly climbed up,took the blankets off her slowly. And as they were, I noticed she was still in her PJ's. Something in me just unsettled seeing her. But then, she immediately curled up in a ball and was shivering badly. I placed my palm on her forehead, it was burning, she definitely had a bad fever. I covered her with some blankets quickly then dashed to my room and grabbed 2 handkerchiefs and a bowl of warm water. Since I was the one to treat myself when I got sick, I knew exactly what to do. It must be so painful. I really wished I was the one to go through this and not her, after every bit of happiness she has given me. When I was back quickly, she had clutched all of the blankets in her arms, and was constantly moving, it was really hurting. Nothing had hurt me as bad as seeing her like this. I set the things on the table, closed the door and windows to prevent air from coming in and climbed up. I stared at her, thinking what to do. 'I should bring her down first...' I took off the blankets, and bit my lip, confused. Her face had turned pale, lips parched. Yet she looked so beautiful up close, so pretty. I knew I had to. I managed to get both of my hands under her, and lifted her up in bridal style.

Somehow, seeing her in my arms, her small face, figure , all of her just seemed intimidating. I felt as if she was sinking into my arms, and my skin was burning immensely. I managed to tear my eyes away from her unconscious self and got down. I placed her on the bed, switched the pillow, she wouldn't stop groaning, her eyebrows were clashed together as she moved her head side to side, but the rest of her body was motionless, my heart was clenching right now. Grabbing the blankets, I covered her warm body fully with them, so she would sweat out all of the heat. Then I got on the bed to tuck in the sides under it so even if she moves and turns the blanket won't come off. But then, my eyes fell on her again. I paused for moment, and she abruptly pull the hem of my t-shirt making me stumble, but I managed to gain balance somehow by placing my hands on either side of her. Then I realised, I was practically on top of her. She groaned and shifted under me. I stared at her long, gulped hard to control, and got off. Then I closed my eyes and hugged my knees sitting on the floor beside her, trying to remember how to breath. It was really awkward, though there was distance between us, I had almost lost myself. I sat there, with loss of thoughts, a heart racing at the speed of light. But I had to focus. After getting back to my senses completely, I got up and sat besides her, and placed the wet cloth stip on her forehead. I stared at her face.

Taehyung: I'm sorry.. For yesterday.

I don't know why that happened.
Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. It's just... I don't know what I'm feeling. As if there wasn't enough confusion in my life which I ignored. But in your case.. I can't. I am not able to figure out what happens to me every time I see you! Hearing your voice, just remembering your face. It's really wierd and... I think I'm going crazy. Is it something? Is it not? I don't know.

She shifted a bit, in a sort of sigh her lips formed a pout. It made me relax and chuckle silently, as I changed the strip again.

Taehyung: But as for now. You're a really very good friend of mine. Who makes me smile no matter what, even if she's unconscious..

I kept staring at her face, like it was the most peaceful thing in the world. Silent, and sat beside her, changing the strips from time to time, till she had cooled down. She looked way better now, and was sleeping soundly. 'Really a heavy sleeper.' I thought to myself, content. Like taking care of her was the only thing I'm supposed to do. I placed a hand on her forehead, making sure she was alright now, and tucked her hair behind her ear and my hand traced down to her cheeks and chin, her skin was so smooth.. and I slowly stroked the corner of her lips. 'How perfect one can be... Take care y/n. Thank you for everything.' I stepped away, and as something crossed my mind, I rushed to my room. I always keep medicines for headaches with me, in case I have panic attacks and all. So I got some for her and kept it in the bowl, I was sure it was safe for her to have them. I placed a glass of water beside it, so she could have them as soon as she gets up. Then making sure everything was right in place, I stepped out, glancing at her face one more time, and closed the door.

End of Taehyung's POV

~Time skip~

You squinted your eyes and woke up to being tucked in bed tightly wrapped with blankets. 'I- Is it morning or evening? Why was h- Oh I was sick to death. Ahh it's much easier to breathe now.' You got up and your limbs immediately gave up on you. You blurrily saw that you were alone in the room now in the lower bunker, and there was a glass of water on the table along with some pills. 'Jen's a bae.' You swallowed the medicines quickly and went back to sleep again as your body felt really sore.

~Time skip~

'oh! You're finally up.'

You heard faintly as you got up from bed , walking to the sink and splashing some water with some consciousness on your face. With a sigh, you looked at Jennie.

Y/n : .. what time is it?

Jennie : It's about 4 in the evening. Are you alright?

You walk to the chair as she hands you your bag and sits you down, touching your neck and forehead.

Y/n : You packed it? Thank y-you..
Thanks for your care thanks to which I'm alright from the fever and splitting headache now now.

You don't know why but you could see a little guilt in her expressions.


Jennie: Uh.. chill out babe. It was not much. Anyway, we gotta go now. We're leaving.

Y/n : Already??

Jennie: Sheesh , you were asleep for like 6 hours. Go and change into a decent pair of clothes. You look too hot in those banana print PJ's.

Y/n : Alright mom.

You deadpanned and went to the washroom to change into some jeans and a t-shirt. Just then a chilling breeze entered through the small opening, and you quickly put on a warm sweater so you wouldn't catch cold due to the wind.

You got out and picked up your bag.

Jennie: Alright, let's get going!

She said while giving you an affectionate smile. You both neatened the bed and arranged the room. Getting out, you put a lock on the door, persistently making sure it was locked.

And then you smiled, hearing Jennie talk happily, 'oh it's definitely Jungkook.' You didn't believe in relationships , then why did you support Jennie and Jungkook? Cuz they liked each other. Truly. They're character, perfections and imperfections. Unlike the 'just for the sake of it' treatment he had given you , and you blindly gave it all. It's all really foolish to look back at now. They're much sober, nature about it , which you weren't. You snuggled in your sweater with a smug smile and turned around. Only to meet the dead serious face of the one you couldn't bear to see now. Taehyung.

'Why did I have such a dream...?'

-

A/n : BAMM
That's the comeback y'all.

I'm seriously writing whatever seems right and logical to my brain, trusting my thought process contrary to my gazillion tons self trust issues.

Hope it satisfies your expectation. Anyway, give me feedback for where I can improvise. Also hope that y'all are happy I'm back (⁠ب⁠_⁠ب⁠)
Keep supporting me.

Sending lub!
