20: Stressing over
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
Taehyung was still in his deep thoughts when he felt the cold breeze seeping through his skin and making him shiver violently. Then he realized that he wasn't wearing his coat, also he noticed the new bandage around his previous fractured wrist.
"I removed that, then why it's here again?" He questioned no one but shivered again, causing him to embrace himself.
Cuddling to his own body as much as he could, He looked around to feel the roads a bit emptier than usual, which meant it was getting late and he was still on the road.
Reaching the bus stop, he sat there with the bag in his lap to feel a bit of shield from it.
A loud horn made him look up to see a white car in front of him and someone coming out of it in a hurry toward him.
"The hell! Why did you come here by yourself?! Look at you, not even wearing anything warm in this cold while your body is already suffering from severe cold.!" A very strong tone of Minho startled him badly as he just watched the other speeding toward him in a daze.
Minho removed his own long coat and draped it over Taehyung's back and shoulders, quickly covering the latter in the warmth. Taehyung just blinked in surprise and daze while Minho grabbed his both hands to make him stand and guided him to the car.
"Come on, get in the car. That nurse is going wild since you left the hospital." Minho grumbled with a frown but his frown disappeared when he noticed Taehyung's eyes blinking slowly at him.
"Taehyung, you still need rest. You should be in the hospital instead of on the roads. Get in now, hm?" Taehyung compiled after a few seconds.
Within seconds, Minho was driving the car back to the hospital. The shivers in Taehyung's body calmed slowly in the warmth of the car's heater. He leaned his back and rested his head over the window. The tiredness coming back.
Minho side glanced over him but silently continued to drive.
"Taehyung?" He softly called the younger who seemed in deep sleep. But when he felt that Taehyung was waking up, he moved out of the car to the other side to open the door for the brunet.
"We are here. Let's go." Taehyung frowned and shook his head, making him frown as well.
"But why? You need to stay here."
"I don't want to burden you anymore," Taehyung whispered lowly, eyes casting down, feeling embarrassed.
"You aren't burdening anybody. Let's go, it's cold here." Taehyung again shook his head but yelped when Minho gently dragged him out of the car and to the hospital entrance.
"Please, I can't afford the bills!" Taehyung hissed and pulled his hand back harshly. At the sudden outburst, Minho sighed and again grabbed his wrist gently.
"Company is paying, because they know their fault." This time Taehyung opened his mouth but Minho gestured for him to stop talking.
"We are going and that's final." With that, Taehyung soon found himself in the hospital bed with the nurse standing in front of him with a death glare.
"Never ever do that again you little head. I was this close to running behind you." She showed her two fingers with no visible space between them. Taehyung bit his lips and apologized politely.
"Now, let me check your temperature." He silently sat there as she checked him thoroughly while Minho was standing near the door, busy on the call.
"Great, you again got the fever. Now, don't you dare to leave the bed or else I'll give you a shot." She threatened with a sweet smile. Taehyung just nodded his head and laid back silently.
"I'll bring your soup, don't fall asleep now. Ok?" Again, Taehyung nodded his head after which she left the room with a satisfactory smile, or maybe slightly affected by the adorable gaze of the boy.
Minho smiled back at her and then entered the room to plop on the couch heavily.
"Now, why did you leave the hospital in such a hurry?" He demanded with a frown.
"Why do you help me again?" Taehyung fired back with a question with a tired tone.
Minho bit his upper lip and sighed loudly.
"You were in need of help-"
"I'm already very burdened with your previous acts. Don't do it anymore, please." Biting his lips, Taehyung almost pleaded and Minho just remained silent.
Their short silent moment was interrupted by a ring and Taehyung quickly realized that it was his phone. Minho made an 'o' while pulling out the phone from his pocket and walked to the bed to hand it over to the brunette.
"Your phone, you left that on the table in the cafe." Having a knowing look on his face, Taehyung grabbed it to see his mom calling him. He quickly received the call.
"Hey, mom. Is everything ok?" He asked hastily with a worry-laced voice.
"Yes, bear. But why does your voice sound so tired? Are you ok?" She asked with concern.
"I- I'm totally fine. Just a bit cold. How's Euni? You?" Minho sat back on the couch and again busied himself with his phone.
"Baby, your voice sounds drained. Are you eating well? Resting well? Please don't exhaust yourself, my bear." Taehyung bit his lip and took a deep breath to not cry.
"I'm doing well mom, just missing you both. I want to see you both, hug you.. spend some time with you." His voice was full of emotions while his face held a content smile.
"Oh, my dear. We also miss you so much. You know, today Euni asked about you as well." Taehyung's smile widened at the news. His little baby girl asked about him.
"Really?! Can I talk to her now?" He asked in excitement and Minho just smiled at his actions.
"Sadly, she just fell asleep. She was waiting for your call but when you didn't, I called.. but you didn't receive it."
His smile vanished on that and he unconsciously looked up at the Minho.
"I- I was just.. busy with work. Sorry about that."
"I knew it. Don't worry, you can talk tomorrow, she really wants to talk with you." Taehyung heaved out a sigh of relief at the words. He was really happy that finally, he was going to talk to her after such a long time.
"Sure. I'll call you tomorrow then."
"Take care, bubs. It's already late, you should sleep now. Love you, my bear."
"Love you too mom.. love you both. Take care." Taehyung ended the call with a smile and right at that moment, that nurse came with a tray.
"Time to fill up your stomach." She chirped and placed the tray on a little table.
Minho excused himself as she was standing there while Taehyung fed himself, denying the offer to be fed by the other.
After that, he was given the medicine.
"You should sleep now, I'm out there. Ok?" Minho told him and Taehyung quickly shook his head.
"No way, you'll be very uncomfortable here. I'm fine now."
"But-"
"Please, you already did a lot. I don't want to make you more tired of me." Minho noticed the sadness in his voice and thus, he sat beside him on the bed and gently grabbed both of his hands.
Taehyung was definitely taken aback by the action, his eyes focused on the other's hands.
"Don't worry about anything Taehyung. Also, you deserve all the care and respect. No one gets tired of it when it comes to you." He softly said, totally different tone than the usual one.
"Do you know that Jimin has been destroying my call logs since you entered this hospital, This man is so worried about you that I'd to send him your video of sleeping to make him calm that you're fine now." Taehyung was literally shocked by the new information.
"Jimin?"
"Yeah, Mr. Jeon's assistant. He is such a nice person." Taehyung quickly agreed and smiled but his smile soon faltered again.
"M- Mr. Jeon- He must be really- really angry." Biting his lips, he looked up at the older and felt his eyes stinging.
"W-what if he fired me already? I- I don't want to lose this job... I can't-"
"Hey! Calm down Kim, calm down. Nothing like that happened and won't happen any soon. So just chill." Taehyung was still not satisfied but after a while, he felt sleepy and Minho got up to leave.
"Please, go home. I swear, I'm fine now."
"Yeah, I heard that. You're totally fine with your fever. I get that." Minho replied sarcastically and rolled his eyes. Taehyung's mind was again working overly.
"Oh jeez, please stop stressing and sleep. I'm not going anywhere and that's final." Wearing a stern gaze, Minho announced with finality and Taehyung felt defeated now.
"I'll stay outside-"
"No, at least, stay in the room then. You can sleep on the- um.. that couch." Minho glanced back at the couch and agreed as it was a better option.
Taehyung soon fell asleep while Minho watched over him till he also fell asleep.
...............
In the morning, Taehyung woke up by the nurse again who checked his condition and gave him breakfast before his medicines. Minho was there but left soon after a call and Taehyung's pleading.
On the continuous pestering, Taehyung was also discharged by the afternoon and he quickly went back to the house after thanking the kind nurse.
"Oh, finally you showed up. Where were you last night? Don't tell me you've started doing wrong things now." Taehyung's auntie opened the door and welcomed him with her bitter words.
Taehyung hissed at the words but he had to keep calm.
"It's nothing like that auntie. I was in the hospital last night. I was sick." He said in a tired tone and silently climbed upstairs without any more words.
The rest of the day, he kept lying on the mattress with many questions lingering in his mind.
Minho hyung is the one who had my phone.. he found me right at the stop near the shop, he must be the one who paid again.
He sighed for the nth time and changed his side to feel more comfortable. His body felt much better than yesterday but he still felt tired. With all sorts of thoughts, he closed his eyes, recalling yesterday.
Suddenly his eyes shoot open with a gasp.
"Oh lord! Seoyun- I didn't even call her back." With that, he quickly grabbed his phone and called her, as he had taken the contact from Semie. But she didn't pick up. He tried many times but she didn't pick up.
He felt again worse as the tear-filled eyes of the girl came into his eyes. Taking a few deep breaths, he dialed Semie's contact to ask about her mother's condition. That sweet girl picked up the call and was happy that her mother was fine now. She also scolded the brunet realizing that he was sick, just from his voice. Taehyung felt much better after talking with her, completely forgetting the bag.
.

The next morning, he felt much better physically but mentally he was still a mess. He was going to face two people who were definitely not wanting to see him.
Bound to happen, he was bombarded with questions about his health once he entered the building. Minho and Jimin were there to scold him again for coming without any rest. But when Taehyung said that he was very tense about the safety of his job, they kept quiet.
Feeling utter nervousness and dread, he finally knocked on the door. Jimin was also standing at a distance and mouthed him 'good luck'. The boy was definitely so kind and sweet.
"Come in." The voice boomed and with his shaky hands, Taehyung opened the door to see Jeon Jungkook looking at him directly with a piercing gaze and clenched jaw.
Taehyung gulped visibly, his hands clammy when he stepped forth slowly but stopped immediately in fear when the raven-haired spat out the words, he wasn't ready to hear.
"What are you doing here Kim?!"
