The boy they left behind [II]

♡ Chapter 4 ♡

Jungkook has woken up and has done his morning routine. And again he was on bed, it's been five minutes since he was adoring and caressing the hair of his beautiful husband who's sleeping in his embrace like a beauty. 

Jungkook was giving occasional kisses while tucking his husband's hair like a delicate flower. For him, he's practically living his dream. He smiles thinking about the time when he had stolen a kiss from the elder on the riverside when they were kids. He thinks it was so stupid of him. But now he can place countless kisses on the the love of his life. And he does. He then shifts closer to his sleeping husband hugging him a little tighter.

He knows he'll be out for few more hours as the result of the medicines. And it's his brownie point time to keep laying and studying and smiling while taking in the elder's features, and peppering him with kisses. 

"I love you" He whispers even when Taehyung can't hear him. 

"Hmm?" Taehyung opens his eyes. He's delirious and blinks at his husband.

"I'm sorry, Angel. Please go back to sleep-"

"D-oN't hUrt mE. PleAsE..." his messily voices out. 

"Never." Jungkook kisses his forehead and he drifts back to sleep.

"DoN't go tOo hArsh oN mE. It huRts evEn afTer tHe oInTmeNts" He unconsciously mumbles aching younger's heart.

Jungkook's eyes had tears. How strong the elder is, he just wants to run back in time and take the elder with him to the city. If it wasn't for him believing John, may be he could have saved his first love from from going through all this.

Okay. Past is in the past. Yeah. Seokjin has suggested him to be strong for Taehyung. And he will! 

He let's his tears slip down and takes the sleeping angel in his embrace again. 

"Appa?" Byul enters. 

Jungkook hurriedly gets up. "Shh" He says when he sees Byul's voice disrupted the sleeping male to frown. 

He pulls himself out of the bed and covers his sleeping husband by the duvet. And leaves after placing a forehead kiss on the elder. 

He picks up Byul as they go out. 

"Dad is sleeping. You shouldn't be loud." Jungkook says putting her on the couch. And he himself sits on the floor holding her hands in her lap.

"Why are you crying?" She asks as she wipes his tears with her tiny little hands. 

Jungkook wipes his tears with a smile but that didn't work on the little girl. She wants her answer. 

"Did D-Dad hurt you?" She asks. 

"What?" Jungkook was surprised. This was the first time apparently when Byul was indirectly letting him know what was going on in her head for her parents. "Who told you that?"
