Jimin's POV

AU - Just a warning that some people may find this chapter distressing as it involves Taehyung feeling unwell. If you find this chapter distressing when reading, feel free to skip over this chapter. Or leave a comment and I can give you a brief overview of what you missed. 

Early in the morning, I remember waking up to a call that was haunting to hear.

It was Taehyung's parents and they asked me if I could immediately go back to Taehyung's apartment.

Apparently he wasn't feeling well since the time I left the apartment and was asking for my help.

Which is honestly really sweet that he's built up that kind of bond with me.

But I fear what I am about to face.

It was 4:30am by the time I arrived back at Taehyung's house.

I quietly closed the front door, still jumping the second I heard Taehyung's father talk from behind me.

"Oh good, you're here." He muttered.

I followed him up to the top of the stairs where he quickly ushered his wife to come out of Taehyung's apartment.

"I'm really sorry for having to call you in, just Taehyung admitted that he does not need to go to hospital and would rather have your advice on what to do while he's unwell." Taehyung's mother explained.

"That's alright, it's what I signed up to do." I hummed.

"How does he feel?" I asked his parents, wondering what I would be walking into dealing with.

"Well around 3am he started vomiting with a fever. He had a very hot forehead," His mother began, and I nodded as she spoke.

"He's managed to stop vomiting however, potentially gotten all the food he had in his stomach out, and we managed to get him to keep down some nausea pills," She continued to fill me in.

"Only his fever has now changed from being really hot to feeling really cold." She explained.

I nodded, "Alright. I can manage the seriousness, right now it sounds potentially like an infection but if it's still quite bad by morning, I think it'd be a good idea to send him to the hospital." I explained.

"Anyways, Taehyung doesn't want our help so he is all yours." Taehyung's father kind of joked with an awkward laugh.

"Okay, I'll give you a call if I call an ambulance or something." I commented before making my way over to Taehyung's front door.

I walked into the living room, the entire apartment dark except for a lamp in the entranceway and Taehyung's bedroom light that was on, so I knew the male was in his bedroom.

I wandered my way through the apartment in the dark, leaving my bag beside Taehyung's bedroom door before walking to stand in his bedroom door frame.

"Hey." I cooed softly seeing the male literally wrapped up in blankets like a cocoon.

"Hey." Taehyung softly replied, his voice sounding weaker then before I left his apartment earlier.

"I brought you something." I hummed before leaning over in the doorway to grab something out of my bag.

"What is it?" Taehyung asked, his eyes squinting to see the object I grabbed out of my bag.

I headed over to Taehyung's side as I spoke, "It's a drink. It has vitamins in it. I think it would be good for you so you can get some nutrients back in your body that you got rid of."

"Want some help getting up so you can drink some?" I asked the male who shortly after nodded.

I put the drink down on his bedside table before helping Taehyung roll from being on his side, onto his back before placing a pillow behind his cocoon of blankets.

There wasn't a single sheet that's normally on his bed tucked in, they were all wrapped around the male.

"Want me to help you drink it?" I asked, presuming the male didn't want to get his arms out of the warmth.

He nodded once more as I undid the drink cap.

"I'll try to do it gently but if too much goes in your mouth, I don't mind if you accidentally spit it out." I hummed, a bit nervous with the plan.

I raised the vitamin drink to the male's thin lips, and he opened his mouth taking a couple sips of the drink.

"I was expecting it to taste worse." Taehyung muttered after swallowing the first mouthful.

I chuckled, "I think this one is the nicest tasting one." I replied before lifting the drink once again up to his thin lips.

Butterflies erupted in my stomach the second my finger brushed against his rosy lip while I held the drink to his lips.

His lip felt so soft and warm, even though his skin seemed paler than his usual golden tan.

Taehyung hummed when too much went into his mouth which snapped me out of my trance on his lips.

"Sorry." I muttered as he thankfully swallowed it all.

"You can have a seat by the way, I don't expect you to stand this early in the morning." Taehyung commented when I put the drink down.

Taehyung shuffled over in bed with his burrito of blankets to make space for me.

I gratefully sat down beside him.

"Also for future times, you can just come in PJs. I wouldn't give a fuck." Taehyung said with a light laugh.

"Yeah, but I doubt I was going to go home before working later today." I explained.

"So? PJ day." Taehyung replied while looking over at me, his brunette hair cascading in front of his eyebrows, only just allowing me to see the spark in his hazelnut orbs.

"I've had enough PJ days in my lifetime already. I'm surprised you even get dressed everyday." I commented.

"Meh, if I'm in PJs all day, I'll sleep all day. Not a healthy cycle for me when I've already experience a negative headspace." Taehyung replied.

"So how are you feeling?" I asked the male who looked away from me.

"I feel a bit better than earlier. While it's horrible that I feel so cold, it's much better then when I felt like I was burning and puking." Taehyung mentioned.

"Does your chest hurt at all?" I asked the male with a pout forming on my plumper lips.

"A bit, not too bad though." He replied simply. 

"I think there was just a blockage somewhere in your system and you got an infection. But we can see how you are feeling in a couple hours." I told the male.

Taehyung just nodded, he seemed like he wasn't even listening to me.

"Tired?" I asked him while examining the male who was in a daze.

"Yeah, I haven't slept all night." Taehyung replied.

"You can sleep if you want too." I told the male.

"I don't want you to sit here watching me sleep though." Taehyung said with a low snicker as he turned his face to look in my direction. 

His voice sounded honestly so captivating in his sleep deprived state.

"I can leave the room." I commented.

"Nooooo." Taehyung said, dragging out the 'o' sound.

My face softened hearing the cuteness of the man.

"I need you here." Taehyung replied, grabbing my arm in his larger left hand so that I couldn't get up from the bed.

"But you need to sleep." I instructed.

"You can sleep here with me." Taehyung suggested, which made me raise my eyebrow.

"That way you are not watching me sleep and can stay here." Taehyung suggested after realising it sounded a little bit inappropriate. 

I softly smiled, "Okay, if that's what you want." I told the male calmly.

My heart was about ready to leave my chest though at how cute Taehyung was.

He may have a chronic illness, but his neediness is really captivating.

In a way, we are like a couple where one takes care of the other.

"You may wanna go grab a sheet to lie under though, I'm still freezing so I'm not giving you one." Taehyung replied whilst letting go of my arm.

I burst into laughter as the male lay down in bed, hiding away his arm that was getting cold from holding me near him.

I got up to go get a sheet from the linen closet in the dark, but I for sure had butterflies drastically growing in my belly.

I'm going to be sleeping with Taehyung, only in his drowsy state will he see the true beauty he has beside him...
