Taehyung felt a heavy feeling around his waist when he woke up. He stilled, seeing an arm draped on his stomach, securely caging him.

He blinked a couple of times, feeling the ravenette's calm breathing against his neck as he snuggled closer to him.

When did he get home?

Taehyung couldn't help but smile, reaching out his left hand to caress Jungkook's raven locks.

He felt the ravenette's embrace tighten around him, his nose pressed on his neck, inhaling his scent.

Taehyung felt ticklish, squirming everytime Jungkook's hot breath fan his skin.

He giggled, moving his head away from the ravenette.

This seemed to awaken Jungkook, groaning as he tried burying his face even more on Taehyung's neck.

"Stop.." Taehyung giggled, pushing the ravenette's face away

"It tickles!" He squealed, feeling Jungkook's nose nuzzle him.

He tried squirming away from Jungkook's strong grasp, but the latter was just so strong as compared to him.

Jungkook peppered him with sweet little kisses, making him yelp in surprise.

"Jungkook~" He mewled, shielding himself with his arm, but Jungkook just kept on nipping his skin.

"So you're sensitive here, huh?" Jungkook grinned, tickling him even more.

"Stop! Jungkook!" Taehyung shrieked, laughing hysterically as the ravenette attacked him.

He was catching his breath hard when Jungkook finally released him, his hair sticking on his forehead from sweating.

Jungkook grinned, staring at his flustered face as he tried to normalize his breathing.

"What the hell?" Taehyung huffed, feeling so tired from laughing.

He felt the ravenette hover on top of him, his silly grin still plastered on his face.

Taehyung wasn't able to react when Jungkook pecked his lips, making him stop.

"Good morning." Jungkook uttered, placing another kiss on his lips.

Taehyung blinked, biting his bottom lip to suppress his smile.

"When did you get home?" He asked instead, staring at the ravenette's charcoal eyes.

Jungkook shrugged. "Around 3 am, I guess?" He answered, planting his elbow on the mattress as he stared at the doctor's face.

"Why? Did you miss me?" Jungkook teased, touching Taehyung's nose with his index finger.

Taehyung chuckled, grabbing Jungkook's finger and biting it between his teeth.

"Ow!" Jungkook pulled his hand, making Taehyung laugh.

"Get up. Let's have our breakfast." Taehyung naughtily pushed Jungkook off of him, earning a groan from the latter.

He rushed to the bathroom even before Jungkook could stop him with sweet smooches and warm hugs.

"Is it possible to make a... call?" Taehyung asked, uncertain.

He stood in front of the ravenette who's sitting on the couch.

"A call?" Jungkook asked, reaching for the doctor, pulling him to his lap.

"What call?" Jungkook looked at his troubled face.

"Uh..last night.. I had a bad dream about my parents." He trailed off, remembering his nightmare.

"What about it?" Jungkook asked, tucking a strand of his ocean hair behind his ear.

"They were drowning.. and it seemed so real." He uttered, trying to remove the image in mind.

"Could I possibly call them? Ever since I came here, I haven't gotten any news about them." Taehyung sadly thought of his parents.

"What if they learned about my fake death? What if something bad happened to them?" He looked at the ravenette with his eyes full of fears.

"I'm having a good life here that I forgot about them." Taehyung bit his lips, feeling so selfish.

Jungkook sighed, cupping his face with his hands.

"Actually, Tae.. instead of a simple call, you could already go back to them." Jungkook said with a sad smile

Taehyung furrowed his brows, hearing Jungkook's words.

"What do you mean?" He asked, feeling confused.

Jungkook stared at him for a long while, debating to himself whether he should tell him or not.

In the end, Jungkook chose to be honest, unmindful of the consequences.

"The culprit was already identified and currently under the custody of the police." Jungkook confessed.

Taehyung's eyes widened. "What?" He asked, unbelieving his words.

Jungkook sighed. "She surrendered herself to the police."

The doctor looked at him as if he had gotten three more heads. "She? Who?"

"Judy So." Jungkook uttered, making Taehyung gasp.

"Wha- no.. There must've been a mistake.. She-" He trailed off, not wanting to believe any of this.

Jungkook could see the shock in his face as well as his pain.

"Are you sure?" He asked, eyes silently begging Jungkook to say no.

As much as the ravenette wanted to falsify this information, he had to tell him the truth.

"I found it to be odd, as well. However, when I went to check her home even before the police could.." Jungkook sighed, seeing Taehyung's frown deepen even more.

"I've seen the evidence pointing to her." He continued, breaking Taehyung's heart to pieces.

"No.." Taehyung bit his quivering lips as tears began cascading his lovely face.

"She wouldn't do such... awful thing." He sobbed, remembering the times he had with her when Annie was still alive and under his supervision.

She's a kind woman, gentle and caring. Taehyung couldn't believe she would want him to die, enough for her to hire an assassin.

"Why?" He asked, feeling devastated and hurt.

Jungkook looked at him, not wanting to hurt him even more.

Taehyung seemed to understand.

"Is it because of.. Annie?" He knew he shouldn't have asked the obvious, but deep inside him, he wanted to hear the opposite.

"Don't think about anything, Tae." Jungkook caressed his face.

He knew Taehyung would go back to loathing himself for what had happened to Annie.

He's afraid Taehyung would think that he deserved to die just because he failed to save that little girl.

"Look at the brighter side, Tae." Jungkook uttered, drying the doctor's tears with his thumb.

"You could finally go back to your normal life." Jungkook stared at him with a sad smile.

"It would be hard in the beginning, considering that everyone thinks you're already dead, but Yoongi and I could arrange things for you." the ravenette gazed at his hazel eyes.

"Just tell me what you want and I'll do everything I can to make it happen." He uttered, fighting the sadness from showing.

He knew the day will come when he had to set Taehyung free and go back to the life he deserved.

However, he's unprepared to see it happening so soon when he doesn't even have a chance to make Taehyung feel how thankful he is to have him in his life.

Jungkook stared at Taehyung's face, waiting for a heartbreak.

"Who said anything about leaving?" Taehyung said, smiling as he leaned his forehead on the ravenette who wasn't able to react.

"I won't leave your side, Jungkook. Not now, not ever." He said, placing a kiss on Jungkook's soft lips.
