Taehyung - Tired

Genre: Fluff

-

I'm about to heat some leftovers for dinner when I hear the front door slam violently shut. It makes me jump in surprise and I slowly turn around to see what the source of the commotion is.

"Would you like-"

"I'm not hungry." Taehyung cuts me off. He throws his bag on the couch and stomps into our bedroom, slamming the door shut yet again.

I sigh and shake my head before turning the microwave off. My appetite is gone.
Maybe he had another tiring day. They've been practicing really hard for their upcoming concerts and it has taken a toll on both Taehyung's mental and physical health.

He only gets to sleep 3-4 hours a day and is gone before I even wake up. He's been eating less and less, worrying me a lot. I've been noticing his mood swings for the last couple of days and I was actually waiting for his outburst to happen. I knew that he has been keeping all of his frustration inside and it was bound to eventually explode.

I put the container of leftovers back in the fridge and slowly make my way towards our bedroom.
I find it empty when I enter but then I hear the sound of the shower coming from the bathroom. I open the door slightly and I'm surprised to see Taehyung, fully dressed, standing under the shower, his head leaning against the wall. His clothes are soaking wet and he's just standing there without any movement.

I walk behind him but flinch when a little water touches me.

The water is ice cold.

"Tae, what are you doing? You'll get sick.." I say but he doesn't respond, neither turns around to face me and ignores me completely.

I sigh and hug him from behind, not caring about my clothes or the cold water anymore. The water is way too cold and I'm soon shivering. I notice that Taehyung is shivering as well.
I release him from the hug and turn him around. His eyes are closed, his wet hair is sticking to his forehead and his lips have gone blue from cold.

"Why are you standing under cold water?" I ask him and he doesn't move.

"I want the pain in my head to go away. It fucking hurts so much...and I'm feeling too warm. I hate it...." he mumbles. I hug him again and he slowly hugs me back weakly.

"Lets get out of here first okay? I'll help you." I say and turn the shower off.
As I'm about to pull away from the hug, Taehyung suddenly becomes limp and all his weight falls on me. I struggle to keep him on his feet and support him by slinging his arms over my shoulder.

"Taehyung? Tae, are you okay baby?" I ask, a little panicked.

He just whimpers in answer and shivers.
Oh shit, this is bad.

I somehow drag him out of the bathroom without falling over and place him on the bed. His eyebrows are furrowed now and his eyes are closed. His face is scrunched up as if in pain.

I take his wet clothes off but quickly dress him in a warm hoodie and sweatpants. I pull the blanket on top of him and push his wet hair out of his face.

"It hurts..." he whispers, eyes still closed.

"What hurts baby?" I ask him in the most soothing voice.

"Everywhere....my head....my feet....my back.." and then he starts coughing.
Oh no, he's gotten himself really sick.

I check his forehead and it's burning hot. He flinches away from my touch, "It hurts..."

"Have you eaten anything?"

He nods slightly.

I quickly grab some painkillers and lift his head up so he can take it. I put some ice water in a bowl and dip my hands into it until they're freezing cold. I don't care about my discomfort.

I then massage Tae's forehead with my cold fingers and his furrowed expression immediately softens. I sigh in relief when I see him relax. He really had me worried.

After a while of massaging his head. I start massaging his feet. I turn him over on his front and massage his back as well, releasing a few cracks. He groans but relaxes and keeps humming in relief.

I cover him with his blanket again after I massage him for a long time to make some of his pain go away and head to the kitchen to fix him something small to eat. I don't think he's eaten enough at practice.

I make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a glass of mango juice.

"Tae, honey, wake up and eat something." I whisper in his ear but he just groans a little.

"I'm tired.." he whines.

"Eat this and then you can sleep again." I say and make him sit up so he can't make anymore excuses.

"I hate you. Don't disturb me." He complains and I frown a little at his words. He's probably out of his mind right now.
I make him eat his food and he doesn't open his eyes the whole time. He keeps leaning on my shoulder for support or he'd topple over.

God, has he been this pressurised? It's taken such a huge effect on him...

I kiss his forehead as I lay him back down so he can rest. I'm about to get up but am stopped when I realise that his hand has a tight grip on my wrist.

I decide to just fuck it and lay down under the sheets beside him, closing my eyes and praying that he gets well soon.

*the next morning*

I feel something soft against my lips. I open my eyes to see Taehyung's face near mine, his lips attached firmly to my lips as he kisses me gently.

He pulls away after a while and lays back down, facing me.

"Good morning jagiya~" he cooes.
I'm really surprised by his fresh and happy mood considering his condition from last night.

My hand immediately flys up to his forehead as I check his temperature. It's gotten down now but there's still just a slight warmth on it.

"How are you feeling honey?" I ask him and he flashes me his bright rectangular smile.

"A lot better, thanks to you." He says and I blush, smiling back at him.

He scoots towards me so our faces are closer and intertwines his warm hands with my cold ones. (A/N: true fact actually, my hands are always freezing cold.)

"Thank you so much for taking care of me last night jagi. I was really tired so I didn't know what I was doing or saying. I'm really sorry if I worried or hurt you..." he mumbles and his words make me giggle.

"No problem. But be careful okay? I was really scared to see your condition." I say and he suddenly kisses me.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Hehe cute~
