Wow so Love Yourself: Tear has officially killed me. I am writing this from the grave.

"Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you"

Another day, another checkup. This time, Taehyung was the one by Jungkook's side instead of Yoongi. Their fingers were laced around each other's as they discussed the date between Namjoon and Jin. They had already been on two dates, and neither of them had smiled so large. They were really an adorable couple. (Legit too lazy to write a Namjin chapter so that's all I'm doing with that for now.😂)

There was a soft knock on the door before it opened, revealing Dr. Grey, who wore a grim look on her face. "Hello again, Jungkook. Oh! No Yoongi this time?"

Jungkook smiled, shaking his head as he squeezed Taehyung's hand. "Nope, just Tae."

She gave a forced smile before looking down at the boy's chart in her hands. "Well, I have some news for you."

"Is it bad?" Taehyung's voice shook a little as he spoke, obviously filled with nervousness.

"Well," Dr. Grey stepped closer, looking at the cute couple. "Your scans look good. Your heart and lungs look healthier than the last time you were here."

"That's good!" Taehyung's smile took over his face.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean Jungkook won't need a transplant. He is still very sick, and needs to take it easy. Whatever you are doing, is obviously working. Keep it up, and if you have any issues, please come and see me."

Jungkook wiped a tear of happiness from his eye. "Thank you, Dr. Grey."

Taehyung drove the couple home. They sang along to Big Bang on the radio, and Taehyung couldn't help but feel his heart swell at seeing Jungkook so happy.

They held hands during the short distance from the car to the apartment, Jungkook swinging them while trying to hold his urge to skip inside.

"You're so happy, Kookie!" Taehyung giggled as he watched the male next to him. His heart was pounding in his chest. The smile on his face couldn't be erased. His life was filled with sunshine, and it was all because of Jungkook. That is when Taehyung realized his true feelings. He was starting to fall for Jungkook.

That only made him smile wider.

"I haven't received good news in a while when it comes to my condition. I know it's just temporary but I am embracing it while I can."

Taehyung stopped walking for a second, despite the door to the apartment being right in front of them. He cupped Jungkook's cheek with one of his large hands, stroking the younger's soft skin with his thumb. "Just please promise me that if you see the light at all, you won't go into it. I-I don't know how I could go through life without you in it."

Jungkook smiled intensely at Taehyung's words, forcing the tears back in. "Don't worry. I can't imagine death without you. I'm not going anywhere."

Taehyung nodded, wiping one tear from his cheek as he pecked Jungkook's thin, pink lips. He guided Jungkook into the apartment, dropping his keys on the table by the front door. While his back was turned, Jungkook smirked as he walked his fingers slowly up Taehyung's back, going between his collarbones.

"Ko-Kookie?" Taehyung faced the younger, eyeing Jungkook's lustful eyes and the smirk across his lips.

Jungkook's smirk turned into a bunny smile as he whispered the words to Taehyung. "I want you to kiss me."

The other laughed, shaking his head slightly before leaning down. He embraced the soft, plush lips of Jungkook while the other took in the sweet taste of Taehyung's. Normally, they would stop by now, but Jungkook knew what he was doing. He wrapped his arms around Taehyung's neck, pulling him in closer and not allowing him to leave.

Taehyung smiled into the kiss as his hands found Jungkook's small waist. He bit down on the younger's bottom lip, making the boy gasp. Taehyung slipped his tongue in to Jungkook's mouth as he pushed Jungkook backwards so his back hit the wall. Their tongues fought each other for dominance, both putting up a powerful fight until Taehyung's won. Jungkook let out a soft moan as Taehyung picked him up, bringing them to the couch, where he sat, placing Jungkook on his lap.

Taehyung decided to break off the kiss, for the sake of Jungkook's health. His lips made their way to the younger's jaw and neck. Jungkook gripped onto the locks of Taehyung's hair as he tilted his neck, giving Taehyung more access to his neck. Jungkook's breath grew heavier as Taehyung left sweet butterfly kisses all over his skin. He kissed a spot directly below Jungkook's ear, earning a moan of appreciation from Jungkook.

"Oh? You like that spot baby?" Taehyung's teeth grazed against his skin, sending shivers down Jungkook's spine. His lips once again connected with that spot, followed by his teeth. Jungkook winced when he felt Taehyung's teeth dig into his skin, but the pain was mostly masked by pleasure. Taehyung followed the bite with a sweeping of his tongue to sooth it before he pulled away, admiring the fresh mark on Jungkook's skin. "You're so beautiful baby." He pecked Jungkook's lips numerous times until Jungkook pressed his hands firmly to Taehyung's chest.

"Tae, we should stop here for now. I-I'm not ready."

Taehyung stopped and smiled up at Jungkook, sweeping his bangs out of the younger's beautiful face. "Okay, Kookie."

Jungkook sighed, relieved, before leaning down so his head is on Taehyung's chest. Taehyung's arms instinctively wrapped around the younger's smaller body as Jungkook listened intently to Taehyung's steady heart beat. He inhaled the older's sweet scent, never wanting to let go.

Jungkook knew he was in trouble. Falling for Taehyung was never a part of his agenda. He hadn't planned on feeling so strongly for anyone ever again, after Yugyeom. He was constantly afraid that everyone he knew would hurt him. Taehyung had already hurt him numerous times before they were a couple, but he hasn't done anything since they got together to harm the younger. Taehyung went to every appointment. He understood every limit Jungkook had to set. Taehyung had even picked up some extra shifts to help cover the bills since Jungkook currently can't work. Taehyung was a saint. An angel. And Jungkook knew it.

"Tae?"

"Hmm?" Taehyung's hands were stroking Jungkook's hair soothingly.

"Thank you for being my guardian angel. I-It means a lot to be that you're always here when I need you."

"Why would I not be here, baby?"

Jungkook's cheeks felt hot at the sweet tone of Taehyung's voice. "I don't know... most people don't even know of my condition and they leave when I need them the most. You know of my issues and still stick around me, and hold me, and calm me down." His head lifted off of Taehyung's chest so he could look the other directly in the eyes. "You're too damn good for me and I don't deserve you, but I will spend every second of every day trying to make you feel like I'm worthy of being with you."

Taehyung showed his box smile before pecking Jungkook's lips. "I'm the unworthy one here, Kookie." He rested his forehead against Jungkook's. "Now, what about some food? Are you hungry? I can make some chicken?"

"Yes!" Jungkook practically jumped off of Taehyung's lap. "Chicken is the best!"

Taehyung laughed before getting off the couch, setting Jungkook's small body on the couch, and entered the kitchen to make the beautiful boy some food. Taehyung couldn't shake the happiness from his body.

He was definitely falling in love with Jeon Jungkook.
