Hyejoo shivered her body feeling colder than she previously was, clutching her stomach with one hand. She began to fidget in pain at the strangled pain in her abdomen. Googie who felt his mother move away saw her pained expression, rubbed his eyes and slid off the bed. He got his mother's phone off the bedstand and dialled Jimin's number.

Eventually Jimin answered the phone his voice croaking out a small hello. "Chim Chim its code one...Mamabun isn't well." And he ended the phone waiting for Jimin to come. Googie got back into bed, sliding closer to his mother. "It's going to be okay mama." He cooed stroking his mother's hair just like she did to him when he was ill. Meanwhile, Jimin rushed out the house ensuring to grab the spare key to Hyejoo's house.

Jimin unlocked the door informing Googie he was here by calling. Googie called Jimin with an "I'm here", Jimin following the sound to see Hyejoo sleeping a pained expression on her face, her head in Googies lap, while he stoked her hair. Jimin let out a small 'aww' before Googie scolded him to go make breakfast.

Jimin did as told and heated the hot water bottle for Hyejoo. Hyejoo walked out in a crouched position, Googie holding her other hand as a guide. Jimin handed her some tea and a hot water bottle for her cramps meanwhile Googie received a slightly burnt toast cut into triangles as asked and a glass of milk.

Jimin helped Googie get dressed as Hyejoo was still in pain. Jimin packed Googies lunch as he told Hyejoo about the chocolates he had bought her and some money left on the table in case she craved anything, which she probably would. With that Googie kissed his mother goodbye and went with Jimin to school.

Jimin manged to catch the attention of the other teachers, and a few of the parents as he entered the building, Googie showing him the way excitedly. Jimin would finally meet Mr Kim. Mr Kim waited for Googie and Hyejoo as he talked to some other parents, usually they were her by now. He was hoping Hyejoo was feeling better.

"Mr Kim!" Googie exclaimed in excitement and Taehyung turned around to see Googie sat on a mans shoulder waving excitedly. Jimin walked over a sly smile on his lips. Taehyung looked down at the slightly more muscular man compared to him, dressed in a black suit which accented his biceps. "Hi I'm Jimin." He smiled his brown orbs twinkling in mischief, compared to his grey lens which gave off a more intimidated aura, though Taehyung was slightly intimidated.

"Hi, I'm Mr Kim, I've heard a lot about you." Taehyung spoke giving a genuine smile. "Ahh yes both Googie and baby Chu talk about you." He gave off a innocent smile, purposely using the chosen nickname. It took a while for Taehyung to realise who baby chu was and when he did his smile slightly fell. Jimin put Googie down as well as doing some sort of handshake, before leaving. Googie looked up smiling at Tae before he went off to his friends.

The rest of the day went by fast and it was almost home time; for majority of the day Taehyung couldn't help but think of the relationship between Jimin and Hyejoo. He didn't want to admit why it affected him so much, but he had a little crush on her. Lost in thought, he was interrupted by Jimin and Googie standing in front of him.

"Googie go get your things, hurry Mama is waiting for you." Jimin ushered the child in the direction of the cloakroom, Googie doing as told excited to his mother. "you should go babysit later, Hyejoo isn't well she will need the help...and well I got called into work." He gives a slight smirk before walking out with Googie who look confused at the two.

Hyejoo sat on the couch Jimin sat beside her on his phone, feet stretching over her legs. Feeling slightly better she sat up a hot water bottle still on her abdomen, her skin was still pale some of the colour returning. Googie sat on armchair playing videogames on the television. A knock was heard, Jimin whining to make Hyejoo answer it claiming he was tired and had work in abit. Hyejoo rolled her eyes pushing his legs and walking to the door.

Hyejoo opened the door surprised to see Taehyung who held up a grocery bag with a smile, he looked down at her small figure which looked tinier in her oversized hoody. Her hair messily tied up, her usual cherry lips matching the paleness of her face; her sweater paws holding a hot water bottle onto her stomach. Taehyung avoiding to look down at her bare legs [not because he was gonna get horny but he was respecting her] , feet covered in fluffy socks with her house slippers. Taehyung mentally had to pinch himself to not aww at how adorable she looked, while Hyejoo looked at him confused. "What are you doing here?"

Before he could answer a Jimin was heard asking who was at the door. Jimin appeared guessing it was Taehyung, wrapping his arm around Hyejoo shoulder. "Well Jimin told me you weren't well, and you may need help with Googie so here I am." He gave off a nervous smile to the both of them Jimin who looked at him ever so intently.

"Ah so you did come." Jimin smiled, Hyejoo giving him a small glare which Taehyung didn't manage to catch. "Sorry about him, you were probably busy; Jimin is just a very overprotective best friend, always looking out for me." She smiled at the both of them. 'Best friend' that one word giving a sense of relief to Taehyung and so he looked at Jimin who looked at him teasingly knowing what he had thought. Jimin mentally cursing Hyejoo for clarifying who he was when he wanted to tease Taehyung further who clearly had feelings for his chu.

Jimin bid goodbye to the two managing to whisper to Taehyung, "Have fun but not too much fun, remember Googie is there." Making the taller man flustered as he walked into her apartment. Googie was ever so happy that Taehyung had come, running to him and giving him a hug.

Taehyung handed Hyejoo a grocery bag which contained a homemade soup and some frozen chicken nuggets for Googie. As Taehyung played videogames with Googie Hyejoo let out a small yawn, the lack of sleep catching up to her; so Taehyung encouraged her to go sleep while he would watch Googie.

•─────⋅🍓⋅─────•

Googie sat on one of the stools beside the kitchen island as Taehyung took out the chicken nuggets out the oven. Googie letting out a small cheer, clapping his hands continuously. Hyejoo woke up her stomach grumbling having not ate a proper meal since morning, luckily for her as she walked out her dinner was ready on the table.

As she dipped some of the garlic bread in the soup taking bite Taehyung watched her eyes wide, waiting for her reaction. She looked up to see him staring at her, covering her mouth to ask 'what'. "Is it good?" he asked stars practically shining in his orbs in hope. "Yea its great." She smiled continuing to take another bite, taehyung falling back In relief. Googie sat silently focused on his chicken nuggets.

Taehyung helped Googie get changed into his pyjamas so that all Hyejoo had to do was tuck into bed. As he was about to leave Googie tugged onto his jacket using his puppy dog eyes once again, "Please don't leave yet. Can we watch one episode of iron man?" Taehyung not being able to say no at his pleading face agreed putting down his satchel again to sit beside him. Googie ended up falling asleep, his small body falling into Taehyungs lap. He positioned himself more comfortably as Taehyung stroked his hair smiling. Hyejoo watching the wholesome moment trying to hold in her tears.

"Shall I take him?" Hyejoo asked knowing it was already eight and Taehyung may be tired. "No, its okay, let him stay like this for abit." He cooed seeing Googie nuzzle his nose against his thigh, small snores emitting his mouth. "Thankyou for today, you were a great help." Hyejoo whispered looking at Taehyung who continued to stroke Googies head.

"Its okay. I'm always here to help, I love spending time with Googie." He gave her one of his boxy smiles making Hyejoo know he was genuine. With that he picked Googie up, who nuzzled his face into his chest, taking him into his room to tuck him.

Hyejoo walked Taehyung out thanking him once again. Taehyung telling her to stop with the gratitude. He walked towards the lift as Hyejoo closed the door letting out a small breath of air which she didn't know she was holding. 'If I don't control myself I'm going to fall and never get up' she thought.

Well they're whipped!
Hope you enjoyed :)
