38. In Those Eyes

After that unfortunate incident Dowoo was brought to the infirmary to be taken care of.

The room got crowded by the physiotherapist, the nurse and their assistants to even have space for someone else to enter but a worried blonde haired guy couldn't care less.

"You can't come in, there are so many people already inside." One of those assistants said to them as he couldn't let Taehyung enter the room.

"But- but he's my brother. I want to be right next to him."

The assistant felt his worries and had to rethink his choices.

Besides that blonde stood another blonde, soft tender gaze looking up at him hopefully, wanting him to let him in as well.

"Okay, only one of you can enter and please don't disturb anyone from whatever they are doing." The assistant finally said and Taehyung looked at Jimin with hopeful eyes who gave him a nod.

The way was cleared for Taehyung who then entered but worried Jimin was left to stand there at the door, hoping things would get better.

As soon Taehyung entered the room all he met was a groaning mess as the therapists tried to examine his knees by touching the severity of the internal wound and he laid on the bed, squinting his eyes with that pain.

Taehyung quickly made space on the bed near his head as he looked down at his brother, reaching out to hold his hand beside his head to show a gesture that he's there.

"We need to brace this up. The tear can exceed to third degree and it'll be very difficult. Knee needs to be immobilized." The therapist informed his assistant who nodded and brought out crepe bandage and analgesic spray along a knee brace.

They carefully immobilized his knee and ensured minimal movements so that he doesn't hurt his knee further.

"Sir don't you think he requires examinations to ensure there's not a patellar fracture?"

"Oh don't worry, it's fine."

As the therapists talked, Taehyung looked up at them worriedly, also looking down at his brother who had put his free forearm over his eyes as he laid back.

"He'll be alright, right sir?" Taehyung asked the therapist who looked at him and gave a short smile.

"Yeah, but unfortunately he won't be able to walk for a while without a crutch. He may also need to let his knee rest for 2-3 weeks until the ligaments repair and till then make sure he rebandages it twice a day with the spray and I'll prescribe some painkillers too." As the therapist informed Taehyung nodded understandingly.

He looked down at his brother and couldn't help but run his free hand through his hair, worried about him. He was so eager to play the rest of the game and win just as proudly but unfortunately he won't be able to play the rest of the matches.

Dowoo let his forearm away from his eyes and looked up, trying to sit up and his brother helped him.

"You should rest."

"I need water."

The nurse heard so and decided to hand him a water bottle and soon the therapist too handed him the painkillers that he took along with it.

The other side Jimin was standing with his back against the wall, waiting for someone to walk out so that he could walk in and see from his eyes.

All he wished for him was to be alright.

Suddenly his mind was clouded by numerous thoughts that he couldn't help but lose himself to his mind.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to jump from this height?" Dowoo scolded Jimin after he injured his leg, getting an ankle sprain right away as he jumped from the stairs in a game.

He was playing with his classmates when he got himself injured and was sent to infirmary right away where Taehyung and Dowoo were always there for him.

But the real task would be taking him back home with that pain.

Jimin struggled to put his feet on the ground and stumbled many times and that's when Dowoo decided to squat down in front of him.

"Hop on, I'll give you a piggyback ride." As Dowoo commanded, Taehyung took Jimin's bag from his shoulders to carry and Jimin without further hesitation carefully sat on his back until he was lifted by the taller one.

Dowoo's strength had always amazed him, one of the reasons he grew to rely on him for many things but at one point he was nothing but just a weak boy without him. And he had to grow out of it one day.

Their childhood was not as messy as their adulthood and somehow even after silly fights they stood there for and with each other.

Taehyung might be considered as Jimin's best friend all these years but Dowoo was just as best of a friend who always stood there for him but they came to a point where their silly feelings couldn't consider themselves much more.

In the end, they turned out to be — friend of the brother & brother of the friend for each other.

Jimin exhaled as he broke out of trace when he heard someone rushing towards the door.

"Where's V? Is he alright?" It was none other than Stacy, eagerly looking at Jimin who looked up at her and just remained quiet.

And soon they heard the door slide open, Jimin instantly turning around. The door wide open to reveal Dowoo sitting right in front with his leg braced up on the bed, for a moment his eyes instantly fell into Jimin's and Jimin's lips slightly parted, eyebrows knitted and gaze turned to tender in pure worries as he looked at the other.

V's tensed eyes relaxed for a bit as soon as he found Jimin on the other side of the door, Jimin's gentle eyes looking in his way and a hesitant hand slightly stressed out to reach out for him.

It's like half of his pain washed away, he didn't know if it was the pill or just Jimin.

The therapists left the room and Dowoo was left with his brother, looking at Jimin who was looking at him as well but soon the girl walked in, rushing to sit next to him and hug him from the side.

V was taken aback and broke the gaze indeliberately to feel her near and Jimin's gaze fell on her hugging him and kissing the side of his face.

"I was so worried about you, are you alright?" She instantly asked after breaking apart and Jimin just looked down.

What was he even thinking he didn't know but all he felt like was to just leave.

Even though she was holding onto V's cheeks, the boy was still looking in Jimin's direction only for the blonde to step back and turn around without sparing him any attention anymore.

"Jimin! Hey!" Taehyung called from the room but Jimin didn't stop.

Taehyung looked at the two and decided to stand up too.

"I'll be right back, take care of yourself." The younger whispered to his brother who walked out of the infirmary to follow Jimin there in the corridor.

"Hey, wait for me." Taehyung caught his arm and Jimin didn't look back.

"Where are you going?"

"Match?"

For a moment it was just Taehyung silently looking at Jimin who was trying not to look at him.

"Shouldn't we be with Dowoo?" Taehyung asked and let go of his arm while Jimin just looked upfront.

"I don't think he's alone." Saying this he started to step forward, leaving Taehyung alone.

Taehyung looked back at the door and Jimin's direction back and forth, confused himself.

He doesn't know whether he should be with his friend or his brother. Sometimes it's so difficult that he wants to make two parts of himself to be with both of them or maybe he just wanted them to be together again.

After thinking about it for a while he sighed, deciding to just follow Jimin. His brother has her but Jimin would be in his solitude.

~♡~

The game began to get intense and the red team was in a sudden rage after the loss of their friend from the team.

Taehyung and Jimin were back to their seats and Wendy Yeri instantly asked them about V's condition and Taehyung told them whatever the situation was.

They were not as hyped as before but the girls were holding the banners for Jungkook while V's banner laid on Taehyung's lap which he looked down at sadly.

The game was near an end and they had to add more time to it because no one had scored one goal yet.

The green team goalkeeper was not messing around and not letting them win even after using their tactics.

Jungkook was almost frustrated at the field but soon his eyes diverted to be on the bleachers, the empty spaces suddenly filled.

He got distracted for a while but Taehyung instantly gestured him to focus on the game while Jungkook made a hand gesture of 'V', asking about him and Taehyung could only show a thumbs up.

Jungkook went back to the game, watching his teammates work so damn hard to score one but it seemed so difficult.

15 minutes more and the game would be over but why was the goal so difficult?

The players were almost exhausted and giving up but Namjoon kept them in charge, hyping them up with loud shouts and encouraging them to play until they could.

Their tossing game continued for long and Jungkook suddenly caught the guy who made V fall, holding the ball.

Jungkook's eyes squinted to spot him, a pump of rage suddenly rushed in him and he quickly made his way to the guy.

He really wanted to kick his balls so hard but he couldn't risk losing himself to a red card. He tried to take that ball away from him, blocking his way as the guy shuffled it between his feet but Jungkook was not a loser.

He knew ways to take it away which he did and decided to take it away, far away from him.

The guy used the same tactic again and Jungkook knew so he tried to defend himself and run all the way up to the other end of the goal.

His teammates hyped him up, the last few minutes of the game were left and they all were tired. They have been so close to the goal many times but only tasted defeat but Jungkook couldn't simply let that motherfucker take that ball.

Jungkook was trying his best to take the ball all the way up to the goal but not just that guy but other teammates of his team suddenly surrounded him and it was so hard to keep it.

"Jungkook! Here!"

Suddenly he heard a shout from his captain and Jungkook knew what to do.

He turned himself for some space for the ball to be kicked and he kicked it right in Namjoon's direction. All those green team players chased after him but Namjoon kicked it right away and the goalkeeper jumped. But he was too late.

And the ball finally went into the net and the red team couldn't believe they really scored a goal.

Namjoon began to scream and Jungkook ran towards him happily, rushing to hug his captain kneeling on the grass. All the red team players jumped all over their captain, cheering loudly on their victory.

The other side, Taehyung, Jimin, Wendy and Yeri left their seats to stand and shout as well, hugging each other one by one in pure joy.

The red team supporters cheered so loudly, chants of 'Kim Namjoon' filling the field and all the green team was left to do was to just curse.

Very well deserved.

The coach blew the whistle and the game was concluded with the Red team as the winner which were selected for the semi finals.

Namjoon cheered with his team in a circle, jumping happily and Taehyung and Jimin jumped in their spot happily.

The audience started to scatter around as soon as the game was over, while the team players too were exhausted, some even laid down right on the grass with exhaustion.

Jungkook searched for Taehyung in the shuffled crowd. He was so happy that their team won and he wanted to just meet him and tell him that he did.

Jungkook ran across the crowd and searched for Taehyung. He had to squeeze himself out of the people to get away but soon he felt a weight on his back, someone hopping on him and a kiss was left right on his cheek.

Jungkook chuckled and turned over, trying to pull the clinging blonde over who then squeezed his sweaty boyfriend in a hug, not even caring to wetten his own clothes slightly.

Jungkook smiled so big, hugging him back and slightly lifting him.

"You won!" Taehyung said happily, breaking apart and Jungkook smiled, wanting to kiss the life out of him but there were people around.

All he could do was hug him again, tighter this time.

Jimin happily walked closer to them and hugged them as well.

"I'm so proud of you." Jimin cheered and Jungkook broke apart to have him in the hug as well and they jumped in circles like that happily for a while.

"Where's V?" Jungkook asked right away after breaking apart.

"He's resting in the infirmary." Taehyung replied.

"Okay then why are we here?" Jungkook held not just Taehyung's but Jimin's hand as he dragged them out of the field.

Jimin couldn't fight against it and was pulled all the way up from the field to back in the building and to the infirmary right away where sat Dowoo with that girl sitting right next to him.

Jungkook literally barged in along the two, letting go of their hands once he went in just to end up hugging his friends upper body.

"Stay away you sweat soaked bean." V said and Jungkook let go of him.

"Taehyung and Jimin didn't say this. Anyway, how is my buddy?" Jungkook asked and sat next to him.

"Fuck it, did you win?" As V asked Jungkook lifted his eyebrows up, puckering his lips as he showed his flexed biceps.

"What to expect from a strong boy?"

"Didn't captain Namjoon score the goal?" Taehyung said from the back and Jungkook gave him that look until the blonde chuckled and decided to walk over and stand next to his brother's bed and Jimin was still there near the door.

"So we won?"

"Of course we did. Now tell me how it is buddy?" Jungkook looked down, touching his bandaged knee gently.

"I have to have the 3rd leg to walk for a while now."

"Or maybe 4th?" Jungkook asked teasingly and V nudged him with his elbow until Jungkook sat right next to him putting his shoulder over his.

Meanwhile the girl carried her bag and bent in to kiss V shortly on the lips. To see which Taehyung made a disgusted face.

"I should get going now. Take care of yourself, I'll call you later." She whispered and tapped his cheek before leaving and Jimin stepped all the way to the side to give her space to walk away.

When she left V then spared his attention to Jimin who was looking at him all this while but decided to soon look away.

"Since my buddy is hurt and we won, let's spend a night together, shall we all?" Jungkook then asked, hopefully looking at Jimin and then V.

"What are you planning on? My pre-funeral?" As V asked Jungkook squeezed his cheeks between his finger and thumb.

"Not too soon buddy. You just broke a knee. Anyway, what do you say, Jimin? At their place like we did last time at mine, we'll play 'spin the bottle' too." Jungkook asked and looked at them.

"I'm sorry but I have plans." Jimin gave an excuse instantly and V was still staring at him as if life depended upon it.

"I'm not in a mood either." V whispered, still staring at Jimin.

"Okay, then it leaves me and Taehyung to celebrate." Saying this Jungkook looked in Taehyung's direction and winked who rolled his eyes playfully, slightly sliding himself to stand beside Jungkook who sneakily searched for his hand to hold.

"Do whatever you guys want, I'd rather just go back and sleep." Dowoo said and Jungkook looked at his friend then.

"But it would be fun if us four would spend some time together." As Jungkook insisted Dowoo only looked in Jimin's direction, slight hope filled in his eyes but Jimin only untangled his tied arms.

"Keep going guys, I have to go somewhere." With this he carried his bag from the floor and V just looked down.

Silence filled the room for a while.

"Where again?" Taehyung asked.

"Yoongi."

And that's all he could say before departing from the room and the silence filled the room again.

"Then it leaves just us three." Jungkook spoke after a while and V only sighed.

"Let's just go home."

~♡~

Jungkook and Taehyung took V back home through a cab instead, helping him then travel the way from the ground floor to their apartment through the elevator.

They carefully made it to their house and Jungkook helped his friend to lay on the couch in the living room.

"I'll take a quick shower, why don't you order something bab- Taehyung?" Jungkook almost stumbled with his words and Taehyung gave him his slightly widened eyes and proceeded to sit next to his brother on the couch.

Jungkook then took Taehyung's room instead, teasingly looking in his direction and Taehyung just smiled at him sneakily.

"That strawberry one is my favorite shampoo, you might find it on the second shelf." Taehyung said from the back and Jungkook stopped in his tracks, peeking his head out of the door.

"And your favorite shower gel?"

"It's also there, with the loofa, wash it we'll before using then you're good to go." And Jungkook made a clicking sound with his mouth as he showed him a thumbs up.

Even V can't touch his personal things but Taehyung really gave Jungkook all the authority, the elder twin couldn't help but cringe slightly and Taehyung smiled at him, playing with his phone in his hands shyly which the elder twin snatched away to order instead.

"He is not a kid, he can wash himself."

The younger one rolled his eyes.

"Carefully, they'll drop out of your sockets at this rate." The elder commented as he looked down at the screen while his brother looked up and down at him in a judgy way.

"Don't worry about me, it's you who actually dropped today." As Taehyung teased, Dowoo shot a glare so dangerous at him but the younger wasn't any less and stuck his tongue out for him.

With further bickering they decided to turn on the Television and start a random show on Netflix. The elder laid carefully and Taehyung gave him all sorts of comfortable things such as a pillow and blanket to lay nicely.

In a while, Jungkook walked out of the shower as well, freshly bathed in wet hair and fresh clean look, white tank top above his black shorts to reveal all goodness of his big arms and tattoos with a towel in his hand that he tapped on the side of his face.

Taehyung who was standing behind the kitchen counter, boiling some ramen to pair up with upcoming tteokbokki caught the sight of his boyfriend over there, breathing just as fine.

Luckily V was busy in the show because Jungkook was already sending an air kiss to him after finding him staring at himself.

The bell rang and so was the food there and Jungkook looked back at the door, deciding to take it.

He then proceeded to walk towards the kitchen to put that food on the counter and all the could see was V's back of couch, luckily he couldn't even see how then Jungkook proceeded to back hug Taehyung out of blue who was just about to gasp when we was squeezed in that hug and silent kisses being left on the side of his neck from the behind.

"I hope you didn't forget about my prize." Jungkook whispered and continued to kiss his ear and Taehyung was a shivery and a blushy mess.

"But didn't captain Namjoon score the goal?" Taehyung asked playfully and Jungkook gave him that one look and proceeded to squeeze the side of his waist.

Taehyung struggled to get out of Jungkook's grip before they could get noticed but Jungkook tightened it more and Taehyung turned his head back, looking slightly irritated but Jungkook put his lips on his instead, pressing them gently on his and could Taehyung fight back?

He then let go of him without further ado and Taehyung was left to smile on his own.

"Food is here buddy!" And Jungkook then yelled, approaching his friend with the packed food and empty dishes to serve him.

~♡~

The three of them decided to enjoy the food together on the couch along with the TV and some talks. Taehyung soon added soju bottles as well and it doubled the fun.

They continued to enjoy it until it was completely dark.

The dishes were empty and so were the bottles of the drink but they continued to finish the movie they started a while ago and with the end of the movie Dowoo was already bored and yawning which Jungkook caught.

"You wanna sleep buddy?" He asked his friend, sitting along him on the couch and V nodded and tried to sit up.

Jungkook carefully put his arm over his shoulder as he helped him stand up.

Taehyung got up from the couch to open the door of his bedroom as well and Jungkook carefully took him in and laid him on his bed carefully.

Taehyung helped his feet lay straight carefully and covered him with the blanket.

"Oh come on, I'm not a kid." V whined as he saw his brother covering him with the sheet and to hear that Taehyung pulled it all over his head and put a pillow on top of it as well playfully.

Jungkook chuckled at their silliness and took off that pillow from his head and helped his buddy lay carefully.

"Hand me my phone."

Jungkook then also handed him his phone.

"Good night buddy, I might leave soon too." Jungkook informed as he tucked his friend carefully who just hummed and got busy with his phone.

Jungkook looked at Taehyung who was silently saying a lot through his eyes until they decided to go back and close the door for him.

Just when the door was closed Jungkook looked at Taehyung who looked at him with shiny yet lusty eyes and Jungkook was in a playful mood so why not okay a little.

"Hah… unfortunately I couldn't score a goal today. So I guess I lost even after winning." Jungkook started and Taehyung narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to hide that smile.

"I should be leaving then… it's already too late." Jungkook swung his arms as he said while looking around and Taehyung's stern gaze on him became just as silly.

"So… won't you see me off?"

"Oh come on you silly."

Taehyung already fisted his tank top and opened the door of his room instead, pulling Jungkook in who was taken aback but smiled like a fool nevertheless.

Guess they have to be extra quiet.
