"Oh my god, what happened to this young man over here?" The nurse of their college infirmary rushes towards Jungkook and Taehyung.

"He fell down and I think he twisted his ankle." Jungkook replies as he gently places Taehyung on a bed. He steps back a little, giving some space to the nurse to start the check up. She touches Taehyung's ankle and he whimpers at the contact.

"It hurts." He murmurs, pulling his leg away but that causes him even more pain.

"Taehyung, if you keep doing that, I can't treat you properly." The nurse sighs but when there is no improvement in Taehyung's behavior, she looks helplessly at Jungkook. Taehyung is not at all cooperating with the nurse and one of the reasons for it is because it hurts him. But there is another reason and that is, he doesn't like doctors and nurses. He thinks that they think he is crazy. They used to inject him various fluids and put him on a lot of medication for six years and he hates them a lot now. He thinks that it's because of them that he lost six years, six important years of his life.

"Jungkook, please tell him to cooperate with me." The nurse says. The ravenette nods his head. He sits in the little space left next to Taehyung on the bed and wraps an arm around him. He uses his other hand to hold the younger's hand and draws soothing circles on his skin.

This action instantly distracts the younger. He likes what Jungkook is doing to him. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. She is just trying to help you." Jungkook says softly.

"But that doesn't change the fact that it hurts, Jungkook. A lot actually." Taehyung says, his eyes tearing up again as he feels the nurse applying something cold on his ankle. He immediately moves his leg away but again, it causes even more pain.

"Aaaaahhh..." Taehyung cries. All the bad memories coming back all at once. He remembers how he was trapped in a big house for years. He remembers how the doctors forced him when he declined to get the treatment. When he complained to his parents about it, they said that the doctors were doing it for his own good. The nurses were no better too. A nurse was always there for him and they constantly bugged him for taking his medicines on time.

"Taehyung, look at me, baby." Jungkook instantly cups his cheek, making him look at himself. Taehyung slightly blushes as he realizes how many times Jungkook has called him 'baby' already. He also remembers the way people were staring at them when he was being carried by the ravenette to the infirmary. He knew they were talking about them but he doesn't exactly know what they were talking about as he was too busy crying and trying to endure the pain.

"If you cooperate with the nurse right now, I'll take you out on a date." Jungkook says and Taehyung eyes widen at his words.

Date? Jungkook wants to take me out on a date? But why? Does he like me too? He called me baby so many times today and he also kissed me that day, so there's a chance that he likes me, right? Taehyung starts thinking, momentarily forgetting about the pain in his ankle. But he is suddenly snapped back to reality when he feels the nurse holding his foot again and starts applying some spray over it. The pain and the burning sensation from the spray make Taehyung's eyes well up with tears and he yelps.

"Aaaaahhhhh!" Taehyung screams. His foot hurts a lot and he starts crying like a baby again but what happens next was completely unexpected by both Taehyung and the nurse.

Jungkook places his lips on the younger boy's lips. Taehyung stops breathing for a moment, his brain trying to process what just happened. Jungkook softly sucks at his lower lip. He holds the younger's waist with one hand to support him and cups his cheek with his other hand. It seems as if Jungkook is trying to drink all his screams and pain through the kiss. But when he notices how still the blonde boy is, he moves back. He looks into his eyes with a smile and says, "Just kiss me, Taehyung. You'll be fine."

Taehyung slightly nods and moves closer to the ravenette's lips. Even though Taehyung has only kissed Jungkook once before today, he already feels like he is addicted to his lips.

Jungkook closes the gap again. Both of them close their eyes and start moving their lips in sync. Taehyung puts his arms around the older boy's neck, trying to pull him closer while Jungkook runs his hand up and down the younger's back. For the both of them, the moment is pure bliss.

The both of them break their kiss when they hear someone giggling. They look in the direction of the nurse who smiles at them, "So, I applied some ice pack and some pain relieving spray on your ankle, Taehyung. I also gave you a compression bandage. I suggest you to rest a lot and avoid doing activities that may cause you pain. Apply ice pack every few hours and use the compression bandage for swelling but remember to wrap it snugly and not tightly. Elevate your foot while sleeping and you'll get better in a few days."

"O-Okay." Taehyung shyly says to the nurse and turns around, hiding his face in the ravenette's chest. His cute action makes Jungkook coo at him again.

"Thanks for your help, Jungkook. Now I'll give you two some privacy. It seems like you both need it." The nurse winks at the two boys and walks away after putting the curtain around the bed they are using.

"She's gone, Tae." Jungkook says, running his fingers through Taehyung's soft, blonde hair. Taehyung slowly raises his head from Jungkook's chest. He is met with the elder's soft eyes which make him blush furiously.

"You know Tae, your face is a piece of art and your whole existence is very beautiful." Jungkook says to him. He cannot believe what's happening to him. He had never felt what Taehyung is making him feel and he can't deny the fact that he likes it a lot. He likes to see Taehyung's box-like smile, he likes the way the younger blushes when he compliments him or touches him. He likes spending time with him.

"S-Stop it!" Taehyung's small fist hits Jungkook's chest, making him laugh again.

"You're cute, Tae."

"If you don't know the meaning of stop, I'd suggest you to go back to kindergarten." Taehyung says and looks away. A few minutes pass in silence when the blonde boy overcomes his shyness and looks at the older, "It's okay, Jungkook, you don't have to stay here. You can go to your class."

"Don't you have a class?"

"I don't want to go." Taehyung says, thinking about Jimin. Am I ready to face him? He wonders.

"Running away is not an option, Tae."

"I know. I'll talk to him but I want to sleep for a while right now. I have a slight headache because of crying and all." Taehyung says. Jungkook sighs and nods. He wishes that Jimin and Taehyung sort their problems out soon.

"Then I'll bring you some lunch later, okay? And don't worry about the broadcast, I'll have Soobin handle it." Jungkook says, ruffling through his hair and Taehyung smiles cutely.

"See you later, Taetae." Jungkook bends down and pecks his forehead.

"Thank you for helping me today and bye, Kookie." Taehyung happily waves at Jungkook who waves back, smiling. Once he is gone, Taehyung sighs and grabs his bag which was brought by a university staff. He takes out his diary which he always carries with himself and a pen. He opens it and starts writing.

23/04/2021

Dear diary!

Hey, it's been a while since we talked, right? I have a lot to tell you. Many good things and a few bad things happened these past few days. But today, I want to tell you about the good stuff only. We can keep the rest for later.

So I think I like this raven haired boy who happens to be my senior and also my friend. No I don't think I like him. I know I like him. His name is Jungkook. Yes I know I told you a few days ago that he annoys me a lot. But it isn't the case anymore. He is so sweet and so caring towards me. Lately, we have spent so much time together and he has been so good to me that I couldn't help but fall for him.

I really like him and I really hope that he likes me too. You know he compliments me every now and then and I feel this weird sensation run through my body. It's not a bad kind of weird, you know? It's good. It makes me happy. I love spending time with him and I look forward for more.

He still teases me but now it feels normal. Yes, I still get annoyed but I also like it because that is a part of him. God, do I sound like a boy in love? Is it love? Is it too soon? I don't know. I just know that I like him a lot and I want to be with him. For a very long time. Do I sound stupid? I hope I'm not being stupid.

He even told me that he'd take me out on a date if I cooperated with the nurse and I'm not gonna lie, I'm looking forward to it. I hope he really takes me out on a date. I hope he didn't just say it to make me cooperate. I hope my hopes won't be shattered. Am I hoping for a lot? I mean he didn't even say that he likes me. But he kissed me again today.

Ugh!

I'll go crazy. I think I should sleep. I also need to think what I should do with Jimin. If something progresses, I'll tell you.

I'll see you later!

Love, Taehyung♡
