Baby (Jjk°Kth)

Chapter 14

What does white represent?

Peace, innocence, and virginity? Its untainted color ready to blend with any color you mix it with. No discrimination whatsoever. Ready to slowly fade them all away. 

Do you ever wonder how dominant white is? Once it's there, you don't see any other color. White requires attention. So what does white really represent? 

Solidarity, lie, and coldness? At least this is what it meant for Taehyung when he woke up in a white bland room. Lying in a bunk bed that was white yet again. He was alone in this quiet room.  A rhythmic beep was coming from the metallic box beside him. He had a needle in his wrist that was piercing in his veins. His body was aching and burning beneath the bandages. Taehyung can't count how scared he always is, but he is terrified right now. Terrified and thirsty. He moves his head around as he looks for Jungkook, or just anyone who can help him escape this solidarity. But he doesn't find anyone. So with his dry throat he tries to call out for a name.

His throat hurts every time he tries to speak, so he never tries much. But right now he was desperate.

"K-Koo." He calls out. His voice was small, barely audible to even himself. So he tries again.

"Koo..koo." Jimin had falled asleep with the speaker in his hand. A speaker that was connected to the microphone beside Taehyung's bed. He soon stirs awake when he hears a faint voice coming from the microphone.

"Did you hear that?" Jimin asks as he lifts the speaker and places it next to his ears. Everyone surrounded him within a second and now all their attention was on the speaker.

Soon they all hear it. The little desperate chants of Jungkook's name. It was disheartening yet cute. This was the first time that he took anyone's name. And Jungkook felt a little giddy in his stomach that it was his name that Taehyung took first. All that giddiness soon flies away when the realisation dawns on all of them.

"I'll call the doctor. And I don't think we should crowd the room so only one of you go in." Namjoon instructs and soon walks away to call a doctor.

"Go on Jungkook. Taehyung is calling for you." Jimin voices out in a small voice.

"But you."

"It's fine. Once the doctor says it's okay for us to go in, I'll come to see him too." Jimin assures him and with that Jungkook rushes inside. Not literally. No. He didn't to scare the boy.

As soon as he opens the door, Taehyung's eyes fall on him and all his fear goes away, yet his body reacts differently as fresh warm tears starts falling from his eyes. He tries to reach out for Jungkook but his hands are too weak to co-operate. When Jungkook notices that Taehyung is crying he almost runs towards him.

"Don't cry baby (a/n this is not in a romantic way). I'm right here. You're not alone. I'm always here. Shh." He whispers gently as he wipes away his tears with one hand and strikes his hair with other.

Taehyung's bottom lip wobble and curl itself into a pout as he reaches out for Jungkook again. He doesn't want to lie in this bed anymore. He wants to be in Jungkook's arms and hide his face in the crook of his neck. Nose at his scent that makes him sleepy.

"Koo." He calls out desperately but Jungkook doesn't listen. He doesn't pick him up from this bed like always. Taehyung looks around now. Where was his wheelchair?

"I know you're scared and you want to go home but we can't go back yet. You have to get well for that. But I'm not going anywhere. So don't cry because you think I'll leave you alone." As he was talking, the door slowly clicks open and the doctor walks in followed by a nurse.

Taehyung gets scared by the unknown intruders and turns at Jungkook with a terrified expression.

"Can you guys wait for a bit? He's scared." Jungkook requests the doctor and nurse who nod in confusion.

"Look there Taehyung. She's a nurse and he's your doctor. They're are good people. Good. They won't hurt you." Jungkook tries his best to explain. With the reassuring smile that Jungkook is giving him, Taehyung tries to relax. He mentally assures himself that if Jungkook is here then nothing bad will happen.

Jungkook holds Taehyung's hand tenderly and then nods at the doctor to carry on with their check up. The nurse notes his heart rate and things like that while the doctor takes a look at his bandages.

"If he was an Alpha, the recovery could have been quicker. He's even weaker than your average Omega wolves, so the recovery is a lot slower. He might have to stay here for a day or two." The doctor informed Jungkook who nodded his head at the information. The nurse then walks at Taehyung with a wet cotton like thing and puts it in his mouth so he suckle at it. He can't drink water just yet but he can at least wet his tongue so that his throat doesn't feel dry.

"Since he's conscious now, you can call your other family members in." The doctor said, assuming that they were all Taehyung's family.

Jimin who already had his ear pinned to the door, heard this piece of information and didn't think twice before running inside. Literally.

"My baby!" Jimin cried out and Taehyung immediately whipped his head at Jimin's voice and started crying once again.

"I know baby I want to hug you too. I want to give you a tight warm hug but that will hurt you. Get all better and your Hyungie will give you all the hugs you want." Jimin cooed out as he placed small pecks on his forehead and cheeks.

"Wait that's what he wants to say? I thought he wants to go home." Jungkook asked in confusion.

"Well yeah he wants go home too. But right now he wants us to pick him up. Don't you see him making grabby hands?" Jimin asked nonchalantly as he makes funny face to make Taehyung laugh, which seems to work after a while.

"Well his fingers are barely moving so.." Jungkook trailed off.

"Oh would you look at how insensitive you're being right now! I didn't expect this from you of all people." Jimin exclaimed while momentarily averting his gaze towards Yoongi.

"Yeah I see your mean gaze at me. I am not insensitive okay. I am just not as expressive and dramatic." Yoongi muttered the last part as he rolled his eyes at him.

"Dramatic! This is exactly why you're an insensitive jerk! So you might choose to ignore the fact that you," Jimin started.

"Jungkook, Taehyung is looking for his wheelchair go bring him one. That'll make him feel better.." He added between his outrage

"How the hell do you know these stuffs? Do you guys have some kind of telepathic connection?" Jungkook exclaimed as he turned to look at Taehyung who was laughing at Jimin and Yoongi.

"Hey there bub. Doing good?" Namjoon said as he entered the room too. Taehyung stopped laughing when he heard his voice. He looked at him with a shy smile and tightened his hold at Jungkook's hand.

"He's scared of me isn't he? Don't be bub. I'll leave if I make you uncomfortable." Jungkook gave him a sympathetic look but didn't object otherwise. Namjoon wasn't around a lot, that's why Taehyung wasn't very close to him yet. Namjoon smiled at Jungkook reassuringly to show that it was fine.

Just as he turned to leave Taehyung grew anxious as he had just got here and hadn't even given him his dimpled smile. He opened his mouth to speak but didn't know what to say.

"He wants you to stay." Jimin informed Namjoon with a smile.

"He does?" Namjoon asked.

"Believe me. Jimin and Taehyung share a secret a language. He knows everything." Jungkook muttered enviously.

"Okay then I'll stay." Namjoon grinned from ear to ear which made Taehyung smile too. The blonde boy always thought he looked cute like that. Just how cute Chimmy looked.
