Taehyung woke up to the sound of his tv playing, he sat up and winced at the pain of his wound and looked at it which he then also noticed that he was shirtless and there was a bandage wrapped around his waist and a patch of blood appearing against it. He looked around and saw someone sitting across him , it was Jimin, eyes shut apparently was sleeping while waiting for him to wake up. 

"Jimin" Tae whispered and the others eyes fluttered open and were fixed on him. Taehyung looked at him and smiled and Jimin was about to get up but sank back into his couch as Jennie appeared right in front of him.

" Oh my god you're finally awake" She sighed as she started unwrapping his bandage and all Tae could do was just stare at her confused.

"what...what are you doing here?" 

" Im here to take care of you, well they asked me to" her eyes were still focused on the bandage as she pointed behind him where the rest of them stood, a worried expression plastered on their faces. Taehyung glanced back at Jimin who bit his lip as he fiddled with the hem of his sweater, and all Tae wanted was to be with him alone without anyone else, Taehyung knew that he can only be fully cured if Jimin was next to him, doing whatever Jennie was doing right now.

"I-im fine you can go-AH!" Taehyung flinched as the final bandage was removed from the skin revealing his stitched up wound with fresh blood stains all over it. He frowned, this definitely was gonna leave a scar.

"Thats bad, i need to put ointment on it so just,,,hold your breath okay?" Jennie asked as she stared up into his hazel brown eyes which sort of made him feel calm. Jimin who was silently noticing whatever that was happening, saw the look on Tae's face as he looked back at her felt like his heart got ripped out from his chest right there and there. He immediately got up and walked out of the room which caught Tae's attention.

"Im fine seriously, i-" he tried to get up but Jennie had push him back down.

" Kim Taehyung,,,oppa, im serious if you dont stay still!" she threatened and Tae couldnt care less, he just got up, grabbed a fresh roll of bandage and limped his way to the room where Jimin was laying on the bed and staring up at the ceiling.

" Can i come in?"

"yeah"

Taehyung walked in and sat right next to him while staring, Jimin sat back up straight and glared back at him, his eyes filled with hurt, pain and regret and Taehyung knew it was his fault.

"im sorry-"

"Just give me that" Jimin said pointing at the bandages tae was holding which he gave to him without hesitation. Smoothly, Jimin started wrapping his wound, silently but with care and Tae just took the opportunity to admire him.

"Jimin-

"Dont start"

"dont cut me off, listen what happened today-

"yesterday"

"-right yesterday, I swear i didnt know it would turn out this bad...im sorry "

But jimin just stayed silent, wrapping the bandage around and around his waist, not even making eye contact with the younger.

" Jimin, please dont stay quiet-

"If i start talking you'll regret ever asking me to not stay quiet." Jimin spoke as he stared up at him, his eyes glistening with the tears that were threatening to pour. Taehyung just sat there, caught in the deadly silence, not wanting to say another word afraid that he'll mess up , like he always do.

" What is she to you Taehyung? why is she always there?! why does she have to care so much for you ? what were you pampering her all this time behind my back? what d-do you like h-her?!" Jimin sobbed as he gripped the bandages tightly in his palms. Taehyungs eyes widen at his words, all this time he thought i liked her??? he thought i would go after a crazy 'always-wanna-be-there-for-me' kind of person.

" Jimin, she means nothing to me, you're just misunderstanding things" Taehyung frowned and Jimin just looked down. 

"yeah, maybe" 

Taehyung sighed and moved closer to Jimin but the other just looked away.

"I-i want some time alone please " Jimin looked up at Taehyung and he nodded in reply. Tae got up and tucked the remaining bandage into his pocket before making his way out of the room. Jimin sighed heavily and laid down on his bed staring up at the ceiling. Was Taehyung telling the truth or was he not? Jimins brain filled with questions but he decided to just let it be and get some rest.

Taehyung saw Jennie talking with Jin, he walked towards them and they both looked at him surprised.

"Oppa, are you okay now?" Jennie asked while taking glances at his wound

"im fine, go home. " 

Jennie looked around , hoping she could find some other reason for her to stay longer. It was her first time feeling needed and she wanted Taehyung although she knows he's dating Jimin. Something about Taehyung makes her feel safe, she didnt have to date him or be in any relationship with him but as long as his presence is present next to her is more than enough. But it looked like he didnt feel the same way towards her, so she picked up her sling bag and looked up at him

" I enjoyed spending time with everyone, i hope i can come back again " she smiled at Jin and gave Taehyung a small squeeze on his arm before leaving. 

"How are you feeling?" Jin asked as he stood up to check on Tae's wound but they younger just backed away not wanting his hyung to start panicking or anything.

"Im fine, go check on Jimin, I'll be out " Taehyung gave Jin a reassuring smile before walking out of the house and upstairs to the rooftop garden which was empty and that made him feel more calm. As the wind blew and the sun was about to set all Tae could ever want was just peace. He looked over his shoulder and saw the little garden that bloomed with flowers of many kind that sparkled under the sunlight due to the water droplets from the rain shower earlier. Admiring the flowers, an idea popped into his mind and he scurried over.

Roses, daisies , fillers and some vines Taehyung patiently sat down crafting a little flower crown and tying it up together with the loose strings that dangled from his shirt. He made sure to add some lavenders for they were jimins favourite. Half an hour passed by and Tae was done , he lifted the crown up into the air as if it was simba and admired his creation. With a wide smile of satisfication, he got up and hurried back to his apartment wanting to surprise Jimin with his flower crown.
