"Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine"

"You can't just leave without telling me, Tae! I was fucking terrified. I was alone. I thought you had had enough and had given up on me!" Jungkook sobbed while yelling as much as he could at the older, who stood in shock, mouth slightly ajar.

"I-I'm so sorry, Kookie. I got a call from Jimin... his mom passed away. She was sick for a while, and she was the reason why Jimin and I moved here. His mom loved me, so I went to go pay my respects and make sure Jimin was okay."

Jungkook would be lying if he claimed he didn't have to force some bile back down his throat. Taehyung had left Jungkook alone to be with Jimin, his ex. The one Taehyung went back to after their first date. He was seething with jealousy.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung's voice was soft.
Jungkook's head whipped around to face the other's, still not responding. He didn't want to say anything he would regret. "Are you mad at me?"

The younger inhaled a sharp breath. "I just wish you wouldn't have chosen Jimin over me. You've already went with him over me once, so it's natural for me to be scared that you would do it again."

Taehyung's eyes filled with guilt as he reached for Jungkook's shaking hands, trying to calm him down. Despite the younger pushing him away, Taehyung forced Jungkook into a hug. He wanted Jungkook to feel safe and protected.

Jungkook's fists punched Taehyung in the chest, his legs kicking Taehyung's shins, his tears staining Taehyung's shirt as his body started slowing down, growing weak from the physical exertion.

Taehyung ran a soothing hand through Jungkook's brown locks. He hushed the other's sobs in an attempt to hold his own in.

"I-I'm sorry, Tae. I s-should not have f-freaked out. I trust you." Jungkook pulled his head from where it had rested on Taehyung's chest, so he could look the older in the eyes. "I am just extremely insecure, so I assumed you left me when I woke up and you weren't home."

Taehyung pecked Jungkook's lips before unwrapping his arms. "Are you feeling better after your nap?"

Jungkook forced a smile, nodding. "Best I've felt in weeks."

Taehyung smirked, leaning his forehead against the other's. "I can't wait for you to have a new heart and lungs and be completely healthy."

"Oh? And why is that?" Jungkook tried to support his most seductive voice.

"In honesty? Because that would mean I could finally have my way with you. Make you officially mine."

Jungkook snickered, feeling a dark blush tinting his cheeks. "Well, I don't see why we couldn't do that now. We just have to be more gentle than normal."

Taehyung stared at Jungkook deeply in the eyes, chewing on his bottom lip. "Are you sure you'll be okay? I would be fine with waiting until you're better."

"Tae, just in case I don't make it through my transplant, or if my condition becomes so bad I can't breathe on my own, I want to be yours. Officially yours. I don't want to wait."

Jungkook pressed his lips softly on Taehyung's.
