Wandering down the hotel corridor back towards Jungkook's room with a bowl full of an ice cream sundae topped with whipped cream and sprinkles, hoping that seeing as he doesn't want a lot of food, that maybe if he just had some ice cream it would give him at least a little bit of sugar he probably could do with.

"Hey it's only me" you say as you click the door shut and see Jungkook in exactly the same place as he was when you left him half an hour ago; "Jungkook?" He shuffles on the bed and groans, his voice deep and raspy when he talks, from tiredness probably. "What took you so long?" he says sitting up slowly to look at you, when he does, his doe eyes widen and he doesn't look sexy anymore, he looks cute, still you're annoyed at yourself for even thinking that. "I had to talk to Beom, he was worried about you Jungkook, everyone was" Jungkook runs a hand through his hair, "not everyone, I'm so stupid I messed it up again.." he mumbles quietly under his breath hoping you hadn't heard but you did, "don't say that! You're not stupid and you didn't mess anything up, no one saw you faint, it had already gone dark I promise, Sung Jin just.. he's just.." you didn't know what to say, you couldn't stand there and call him names when he's your boss, when he basically owns Jungkook and the band. "I know I get it.. he's been like it since the beginning, don't worry, I'm sorry you had to witness him like that" Jungkook says sadly and it makes your heart hurt so you do the best thing possible, the only thing you can think of, use food to distract him.

"Come and sit with me" you smile walking over to the small table in the hotel room and sit down on a chair placing the ice cream sundae on the table top and waiting for Jungkook to follow you. "I don't know if.." he stutters and you cut him off, "Jungkook.."you hold your hand out to him, something you haven't done before but you just do it out of instinct, "... come here. It's been a long day, look, I've got two spoons, and have you seen the amount of toppings on this?" He giggles softly and stands up slowly, he still looks a little unsure on his feet, probably from weakness and the exhaustion. When he stops dead in front of the table and looks at your outstretched hand, "but.."

"But nothing.." you say stubbornly and hold your hand up to him and then he takes it and you grip his hand so quick you're sure you may break one of his fingers and tug him towards the spare chair , "sit down, now have a spoon and eat slow, don't go shoving it all down like you normally do.. I really can't do with you being sick later, I... I don't do vomit" you wince and squeeze your eyes shut tight, that fear is nearly as bad as flying. "Thanks" he says with a smile, and you let go of his hand, passing him a spoon so he can eat.

You watch on, having a few spoonfuls yourself so he's not alone, you're happy that he's tucking into the ice cream, it's nice to see a little bit of colour come back into his cheeks, "did I pick good? I told them to throw in all sorts" you smile happily and he smiles right back, it's the first time in hours you've seen a proper smile from him. "I don't deserve this, usually I'd have just come back to the room, and then been left alone and collapsed on the bed and slept in my clothes until the alarm next morning, this is.. thank you Y/N"

"You do deserve it! Stop saying that! Anyway no more talk of that, it's over.. do you feel any better?" The way he looks at you makes you melt all over again, it's like the night at their apartment when he'd made you coffee; sat close across the table from each other, "yes, I'm okay, I'm feeling a lot better now, just tired, I think"

"You scared me back there you know... it.." you stop yourself talking before your voice hitches and sobs, you don't want him to feel bad but you wanted him to know how it affected you, "sorry, I, it was so warm in there and.." you look up at him again and cut him off, "and you've been working too hard, I know, I'm not talking about this now but.. remember you promised me" you point your spoon at him accusingly and he shrugs his shoulders, "I am sorry.."

"That's enough of that now, stop! Come on now, maybe you should get changed and sleep, I told Sung Jin I'd make sure you got enough rest so that you'll be okay for tomorrow, and it's midnight so.. I should also..." you stand from the table and carry the empty ice cream bowl to side of the tv to stop it being knocked off at any point in the night. "Don't leave.. don't leave me" his voice sounds cracked and somewhat frightened, you have no idea where this has come from but you don't think you like it, "what's wrong?" You ask full of worry and his eyes widen and he looks shy; "I.. I don't want you to go, just.. stay with me a little longer, please?" You know this shouldn't happen, you have to say no, why would the assistant need to stay in a band members room? But you're frightened of your own feelings because you don't want to leave him alone, you want to stay here and make sure he's okay, that he's safe and that he sleeps. So your mind might say 'no I'm leaving' but you mouth says, "okay, I'll put the tv on, how about that, shall we distract you with something?" He nods instantly, "yes, yes please I'd like that" you nod in agreement, "okay go change"

You don't know whether it's okay to even sit on his bed, so you sit back on the chair at the little table and wait for him to come out of the bathroom and when he does he's wearing an oversized grey T-shirt and some sweats and he gives you a confused look; he climbs slowly onto the bed, "come sit here with me" why are you doing this, when is this allowed? Is this allowed? Momentarily you remember Sung Jin pointing out the relationship page in the contract but then as quick as the thought comes, you push it away. You climb onto the other side of the bed and once you've adjusted yourself comfy Jungkook is suddenly leaning on your shoulder, you freeze up but his body going slack as he relaxes, "can I stay here for a bit like this?" His voice is soft and it makes you easily agree, breathing out a small breath you relax a little, "of course, you need to rest now" he hums into your shoulder and you just hope he can't hear your heart banging in your chest because it is and it's beating hard.

About half an hour later you can tell he's falling asleep, his breathing sounds heavier, he's been deathly silent for ages and he feels heavy at your side but then his head slips off your shoulder and he groans a little, you take hold of his head gently "why don't you lay down, I won't leave I promise" and you mean it, of course you won't leave, you don't ever want to leave him again after today's events, it scared you half to death, you don't want to witness anything like that again. He murmurs a yeah of some sort and before you know what's happening he lays down on the bed but puts his head on your lap stopping you from going anywhere even if you wanted to; without even thinking for one millisecond about your actions you run your fingers through his hair, tickling his scalp gently and he purrs in appreciation, "go to sleep Kook, you're exhausted, stop fighting it now and rest" he wraps an arm onto your legs making sure you'll stay put, his body going fully lax, "Goodnight Y/N"

"Goodnight Jungkook"
