Cerulean Sea

A Sudden Change in the Wind

They informed the crew of their plan and set course towards the island. Yoongi made his way down to the infirmary, where Jungkook was still staying as they were afraid of his condition getting any worse.

He could hear quiet voices behind the door, but was unable to make out what they were saying. He poked his head into the room cautiously. He could see Jungkook lying down on a plain, white, linen bed. He still looked awful, his face pale and sweaty. His hair clung to his face and his eyes were slightly glazed over.

Yoongi felt a pang of sympathy, wishing he could trade places to Jungkook didn't have to suffer. Despite this, Yoongi could still see that sparkle in Jungkook's eyes that he had yet to lose.

Taehyung was sitting at Jungkook's side, clutching his hand tightly. His eyes were still red from crying earlier.

"Yoongi, I know you're there" Jungkook spoke up suddenly, his voice raspy, barely above a whisper. Both him and Taehyung were looking at him expectantly.

Yoongi took a deep breath and made his way over to the bed, sitting down on the spare seat. Jungkook smiled at him, but it looked more like a pained grimace. Yoongi took Jungkook's hand, making sure not to squeeze too tight, so as not to hurt him.

"How are you feeling?" Yoongi asked after he let go of his hand. Jungkook chuckled.

"Well, I've been better, but I'm alright" Taehyung snorted.

"Don't lie, you still look like crap I think you've gotten worse during these last few hours" Jungkook simply laughed.

"Thanks, you know how to make a man feel loved" Jungkook grinned and Taehyung threw his head back laughing, and planted a kiss on Jungkook's lips.

"You know I love you" Taehyung smirked. Jungkook scrunched up his nose in disgust.

"Eww don't touch me, I'm all sweaty and gross"

"I don't mind, I've kissed you before when you're all sweaty" Taehyung winked.

"Ok, didn't need to hear that," Yoongi said, looking slightly horrified.

"Don't worry, someday you'll have someone. I bet you'll be worse than us" Taehyung said. Yoongi rolled his eyes at the pair, but couldn't stop the small smile making its way onto his face.

Yoongi felt a pang of sadness wash over him as he was reminded of the possibility of losing Jungkook. The idea that these two could be split apart because of a decision made by him broke his heart. However, with the sadness came a rush of determination to save Jungkook. As if knowing what he was thinking, Jungkook looked at him.

"C'mon captain, what's with the frown?" Jungkook asked, reaching out to Yoongi. "If you keep that up you'll start getting wrinkles"

"Shut up brat" Yoongi snorted, but took Jungkook's hand in his.

"You know you love me" Yoongi had to restrain himself from hitting him, instead opting to just roll his eyes. Jungkook threw his head back laughing and before long Taehyung was joining in.

"I'm starting to wonder why I do" Yoongi grouched, but couldn't help but join in too. They stayed like that for a few minutes. Finally, they calmed down, Taehyung even wiping a few tears from his eyes, and Yoongi looked at Jungkook.

"You know we're going to save you, right?" Yoongi told him. Jungkook back at him. Yoongi could see a range of emotions held within them, ranging from love, sadness, acceptance, and that childlike innocence that he had always managed to maintain.

Yoongi had always envied him for that. Although it was probably the reason Jungkook and Taehyung got along so well when they first met and surprised no one when they become a couple.
