Ignore mistakes, please

Third person P.O.V

It was already nighttime, by the time Jungkook told Jin and Namjoon about everything, so they decided to send Jimin to Jungkook. He couldn't protest as he himself felt his body getting weak day by day. He was in need of some support for Taehyung. All of his strength was draining out just by seeing the limp body of the brunet. He always tried to talk to him but every time he received just silence.

After dressing up the unconscious merman, he also slipped under the covers with Taehyung. Scooting closer the merman to his body, he felt his eyes stinging again.

"Tae, baby, please. I need you... your human needs you... please I can't bear it anymore.. won't you heal me this time? Won't you wipe my tears this time? Please.. wake up. Your Jungkook needs you." He breathed out slowly, tears falling over Taehyung's neck, resting his body over his elbow, hovering over the other's face.

He thought that it would be like other times when he's gonna receive just a dead silence from the merman, but to his surprise, he felt the other groaning and whimpering lowly.

"Tae?" With slightly wide eyes, he quickly sat up on the bed and saw Taehyung's neck glowing on the right side, the blue and white light emitting from the specific point. He saw the other's dry lips parting slightly and eyes closing more tightly.

He didn't realize when he ducked down and captured Taehyung's once soft but now dried lips with his own, sending all of his affection through the touch while the other hand went to the shining neck on that specific spot.

His eyes widened in surprise when the other's lips moved a bit and he continued doing so more till he heard a gasp. He quickly pulled back when Taehyung let out a loud scream of his name.

"JUNGKOOK!"

Seeing the love of his life sitting in front of him, panting and huffing, he wasted no time and hugged the merman.

"Oh God, I am here Tae. I am right here hun.. thank you, thank you so much.. thank you so damn much for waking up." Jungkook cried out of happiness, wrapping his arms around the other's body, a wave of relief washing over his own heart and soul. 

Taehyung felt like he was kind of stuck in the dream.? He was overwhelmed by the new type of feeling in his body. But all of his thoughts were disturbed when Jungkook pulled back and kissed his forehead, cheeks, and eyes.. while crying with a smile.

"I was so- so scared hun. You made me so s- scared." Jungkook's hiccup caused Taehyung to let out his precious tears as well. He could feel the other's emotions and pain.??


The raven-haired caressed his cheeks with both of his hands and wiped away his tears while chuckling.

"How are you feeling hun? My very very brave baby." Jungkook praised him with his still sparkling eyes but Taehyung was just staring at him.

He again parted his lips but nothing came out of his throat that was just burning due to dryness. Jungkook quickly grabbed the water from the table and helped Taehyung to drink that. Once Taehyung's throat was a bit better, he started.

"W- where ar-e.. W- hat happ-" He was talking with very much difficulty so Jungkook hushed him while putting his finger over-dried lips.

"Don't worry about that. We are safe here and away from all those people. No one can find us here hm? Now don't burden yourself with anything." The human used his very calm and soft tone but Taehyung could still feel the tension in his mind and soul.

After a moment of silence, Taehyung's stomach grumbled suddenly, catching Jungkook off guard.

"Oh! You are hungry.. let me order your favorite food yeah. Just wait for a bit my hun.. just a little. Don't fall asleep again please." Jungkook quickly said, sounding very terrified and grabbed the intercom to order some seafood for his precious hun while some food for himself as well, because now he also felt the need to fill up his own stomach when he felt his head spinning a moment ago.

Taehyung was sitting on the bed, back leaning over the frame while eyes roamed in the void.

Was it a dream? But it felt so real. Like I was really in the ocean. How can I forget about Jungkook?

Many questions but no answer. He groaned again when his heart throbbed suddenly but he was sure that wasn't because he was in pain... he felt uneasy. Jungkook was in the washroom for the last 5 minutes after giving the order on the intercom, and it just added to his worries. 

"Jungkookie?" Taehyung called for him lightly, his voice coming out very croaked but he tried again, not feeling enough energy to walk there.

"Kookie??" Again no answer. He became more panicked when his heart throb again and decided to walk there finally, feet touching the tiles that weren't cold as compared to his skin. He took support from the wall and then from the small table on the side.

"Kookie!!" He again called after licking his lips lightly... and finally, the door of the bathroom opened by the said male who had his face wet with water.

"Y-yeah hun? HEY! Why are you out of the bed? Let's go back, you need rest." Jungkook quickly scolded him but Taehyung's eyes were focused on his pale lips and trembling hands.

Once he was forced to sit on the bed, the bell of their room rang and Jungkook received the food.

"Here." Jungkook stretched his hand with a piece of fish on the fork in front of Taehyung's mouth. When Taehyung didn't open his mouth but kept staring at him, he frowned slightly.

"Baby? What's wrong? Eat please-"

"Y- ou ok?" Taehyung's question caught him off guard again but he chuckled.

"Of course, I am more than ok now. I was very stressed because you weren't waking up but now, I am very happy. Now please open your mouth." Taehyung compiled and opened his mouth but once the fork was empty, he took that from Jungkook's hand and repeated what the other did.

Jungkook smiled at that and opened his mouth. They somehow finished the meal in silence as Taehyung was busy interrogating the raven-haired with his eyes while Jungkook was trying to keep his pain side and look happy in front of his innocent angel.

After dinner, Jungkook called Jin and told him about Taehyung's condition. Older cried out of relief when he saw Taehyung slightly smiling at him. They spend a little time on a video call and then Taehyung decided to take a rest again because Jungkook was looking so much exhausted.

Taking Taehyung's request, Jungkook compiled and now both were in the blankets. Jungkook was already in his deep slumber while Taehyung was just boring his eyes over his body.

The prominent cheekbones, heavy eye bags, pale lips... his features were screaming about his weakness, making the merman's heart cry in distress. 

Taehyung tried to remember what he did this time and soon he got flashbacks of what he actually did. He gasped in horror realizing that he actually hurt someone using his powers and that was the possible reason that both of them were on a run.

Are you controlling my mind?

He tried to link himself to the one who always manipulated his dreams but the lack of response left him disappointed.

Blinking slowly, he smiled when Jungkook snuggled towards his body and inhaled deeply, a smile formed on his lips but it didn't last for long as the other whimpered in his sleep.

Taehyung panicked when he felt the throb in his heart once again right in the next second. His mind screamed only one thing and without any thought, he yanked away the blanket to look at Jungkook's wrist... only to feel half dead.

The mark seemed permanent this time, deep and more black and when he tried to touch the mark, he felt his heart throb more and Jungkook groaned again.

"N- no.. no please." Tears of fear started falling from his eyes, and his mind concluded what was actually happening, what has happened in the past days.

Quickly getting away from the human, he tried to take his body as far as possible from the other's reach. He ended up falling on the floor with a soft thud but Jungkook was so deep in sleep to notice that.

Taehyung crawled back on the floor till his back touched the cream-colored walls of the room. The situation dawned upon him like a heavy storm, the helplessness made him clutch over his hair with one hand while the other was covering his mouth to prevent any kind of sound from leaving. The amount of pain he was feeling was nothing like he felt before, it was the worse when it wasn't even physical, it was the pain in his heart and soul, too worse to leave him numb.

His head was shaking here and there, not digesting the fact that he just discovered. The painful truth, the heartbreaking fact.... the fact

Jungkook was dying because of him.
