As the sun started to rise up, people were slowly waking up for work or school. And Jungkook made no exception. He had skipped school long enough. A loud alarm blasted next to him and Taehyung, waking them both up from their peaceful sleep together.

Taehyung shuffled in the sheets but he didn't manage to wake up because Jungkook quickly jumped up and stopped the alarm from beeping any further.

Jungkook quietly slipped out from under the blankets and trudged his feet over to the door. He pushed it open, a loud creak radiating from it. He closed it from behind him and made sure Taehyung had fallen asleep.

Jungkook's heels made a little thump on the ground as he stepped down the stairs to the living room.

Opening the curtains, he winced slightly as the light came flashing in his dark brown orbs. He turned away and started to walk over to the kitchen counter and opened the fridge hesitantly.

He was about to grab an apple but he made a 'tsk' noise and slammed it shut.

He still didn't have the courage to eat. He hated his body. Even if Taehyung said he was beautiful or complimented him, being alone made all the bad thoughts come back.

Suddenly his head felt heavy and then it went away. Jungkook whipped his head up in confusion and flinched as he saw his mother.

"M-mother?" He voiced out nervously. They both didn't move and Jungkook took the chance and slowly moved forward.

He stepped forward and leaned his body to his mother's touch but as soon as he did, he went straight through and fell to the ground with a thud. Jungkook laid on the ground staring at the ceiling with confused eyes.

The clock on the wall ticked and made a little time as the hand reached 8:00 AM. He just realized he was extremely late and he peeled himself off of the floor. He stood up and dusted his pants off and running to change his clothes.

After changing he ran to the door with cautious feet and pulled the door open. A cold breeze came through the door and chilled Jungkook's skinny body. He was shivering as he started to run to his school that he hated.

Making it there, he received many stares as they recalled the huge event with Taehyung and his fans. Trudging his feet, he ignored the stares and walked to the entrance of the school. He wasn't ready but he had to for his grades that were suffering.

After the horrific day of school, which concluded with a ton of questions, being bullied, and getting yelled at, he finally finished the day and decided to head out to get some air. He felt that he needed it.

At some points he felt trapped, not because of Taehyung, but because of his own thoughts. It felt as it was suffocating. He had days that he couldn't take it and would scratch at his arms making them bleed.

His thoughts were different from others you could say. It was almost as he had no control. Blanking out or forgetting what he was doing wasn't a normal thing in any way.

His mind went back to what he saw during the morning. Why was my mother there? She wasn't there. She never was. Am I going crazy? He thought as he peered out at the water in front of him.

He sighed as he sat down in the grass and tried to relax his mind, trying to make his thoughts disappear.

Taehyung has just woken up and he rubbed his eyes lazily. He turned to his side to try and hold on to Jungkook not knowing he wasn't in bed. When he felt no one, he opened his eyes and sat up quickly making the bed creak.

His eyes wandered around the room and jumped up from the bed. He brushed his hair down and started to yell in the empty house. He wasn't noted about Jungkook's departure to school. He was worried something horrible happened to him.

He had only just started something new with him and he would be completely devastated to hear that he got hurt, or even worse, killed.

Taehyung grabbed his jacket and hat and rushed out the house. He started his car and uneasily drove out of the bumpy driveway. He started to meander through the town in search of him.

His heartbeat was unsteady and pounding intensely as he glanced out the windows when he had the chance. It was difficult to because of the careless drivers and the chaos.

He picked the worst time as adults were being released from their jobs. People were coming back and forth and the traffic was horrible to try and force your way through.

Taehyung decided to park his car in a parking lot and went by foot. He bit his lip and walked by a sidewalk where bike riders strolled by. Snow was starting to fall down and the ground was slowly becoming white.

The temperatures slowly started to drop and you were able to see your breath in forms of white smoke. Taehyung rubbed the sides of his arms in an attempt to keep warm and he steadied his pace of his feet as he slid on the icy ground.

Walking by the water, Taehyung noticed a figure down and immediately noticed it was Jungkook without even seeing the front of his face. He sprinted down the hill and jumped down the stairs.

Jungkook noticed the noises and looked behind him. He smiled, not knowing the trouble Taehyung went through to find him. Taehyung panted out of breath and bent down. He put his hands on his thigh and let out a heavy breath.

Jungkook got up and walked to Taehyung.

"A-are you okay? W-what happened?" He lowered his head to Taehyung's level and stared at his eyes.

"Why did you leave!? Do you know how worried I was!?" The sudden outburst made Jungkook flinch and back away. Memories came back of being yelled and he suddenly whimpered.

Taehyung looked up and regretted his words. He came closer to Jungkook and put his arms around him in a comforting way and caressed his dark brown hair. Jungkook put his head on Taehyung's shoulder and gripped onto the back of his shirt.

"I'm sorry baby.. I didn't know where you went a-and I thought s-something horrible happened to you.. I was so worried.. I do-" His voice was breaking so he decided to not speak any longer.

Jungkook could feel the way Taehyung's shoulder went up and down, meaning he was crying. He could hear the sniffs and the way sobs were coming out of his cold lips.

A giant wave of guilt went through his and he started to cry too. He didn't know that going somewhere would make Taehyung become so worried.

They hugged onto each other and Taehyung was sobbing his heart out as his worry slowly started to fade away but the touch of Jungkook was his priority.

Both knew that being together was something that they both needed all the time.

"Can we go home now, sweetie?" Taehyung mumbled by Jungkook's ear and he made a sound of approval.

Taehyung grabbed onto the bottom of Jungkook's thighs and lifted him up. Jungkook put his legs around his thighs and stuffed his head into the side of his warm neck.

Both had gotten home and Taehyung instantly made Jungkook go to bed because he knew he hadn't gotten a good sleep in a while. Taehyung has grabbed all the blankets on the house and made Jungkook into a little burrito. He hugged him and kissed his lips gently.

"Can you go to bed baby? You need sleep right now. I won't go anywhere. I promise." He shuffled around and admired Jungkook's beauty.

"I'm not tired. Can we just lay here?" He mumbled low but enough for Taehyung to hear.

"Of course. I love you Koo. You know that right?"

"Yeah. I know. I love you too.."

Taehyung smiled and they talk for a while and laugh. Jungkook forgets about his mother and enjoys the moment, not knowing that it would be a problem later.
