A groan escaped Jin's lips as soon as he started getting back his consciousness.

His head ached sickeningly and his mouth felt parched. Water. He needed water.

Hissing, he tried to open his eyes but winced when the morning light attacked his irises.

This time, Jin let out an exaggerated groan as his head hurt like someone had hammered it a few times.

"You're up..."

The frown on Jin's forehead became invisible in a split of a second after hearing the velvety voice.

He gave the owner of the voice a slight nod while rubbing his temples to tone down the headache but it only seemed to get worse.

"Sorry...I got a call. You were sleeping so I had to go to the hall.", Taehyung mumbled.

Jin's stomach grumbled with a sudden wave of nausea. He jolted up on the bed and rushed to the washroom in a staggering way.

His body shivered yet sweatdrops beaded on his skin as he released every bit of alcohol that he had consumed last night.

A large hand rubbed his back and another hand brushed away his strands from upon his forehead when he was literally shaking because of the disgusting feeling.

Clicking the flush button of the toilet, Jin wobbled towards the washroom's basin and turned on the faucet.

Taehyung turned him around and cautiously lifted him up on the counter. The older didn't show any sign of resistance though.

The younger contained some cold water in his hands and gently splashed them on Jin's face;wiping the excess water away by the soft caressing of his fingers.

He continued the process for a few more times before asking,-

"Do you need a painkiller?"

Jin nodded a 'yes' and mumbled back,-

"Give me the mouthwash first, please..."

-------

"Here.....",Taehyung said softly as he handed Jin a pill and a glass of water.

Jin gulped down the whole glass with the pill in one go; still feeling immense thirst.

Taehyung handed him another glass,this time lemonade in it.

-"It'll help,I promise."

Jin smiled at the younger's statement.

"Since when did you become a hangover expert?!"

"Since last night... I knew you would be suffering today so I had to do a brief research on it...",Taehyung answered.

Jin's heart dropped in guilt.

He looked at the younger with apologetic eyes and muttered,-

"Sorry,Taehyungie....I-"

"Its okay.But you better not repeat this again alright?",Taehyung told Jin in a preaching way and motioned him to drink the lemonade.

The older gave Taehyung a tight lipped smile before taking small sips of the beverage.

The Previous Night

Taehyung smiled at the dinner table that he had decorated with baby blue and pink fragrant candles.

Jin would definitely like them.Those two are his favorite colors.

Today he had tried to do something special for his hyung. Because he knew how much happy the older was.

He was so excited since the morning; Taehyung couldn't help but smile at the memory of his hyung's enthusiasm.

He knew how long Jin have waited for a decent project to revive his career.

Finally,everything was going to be like before. Mr Lee is one of the most famous photographers of this country. A project with him would definitely help Jin to get back his position.

That's why Taehyung had decided to surprise his hyung with a dinner date to celebrate this lucky day.

The boy blushed at the thought.

He didn't know if it would work or not as he had made the dishes on his own.

And he is.....well,not so good at cooking. Still,he wanted to do it on his own.

He took a little bit of help from his friend Yoongi too;who's brother is a chef.

The menu was quite simple though;as Taehyung didn't want to take any risk by trying complex recipes.

He was all set.The only thing missing was his baby angel.

Which reminded him of something very important.

'He should've returned by now,right?'

"Isn't he taking too long?",he asked Yeontan who tilted his head at him as an answer.

Taehyung protruded his lips in impatience.

Messing with his hair,he grabbed his phone and dialed Jin's number.

His pout became more prominent as he found his hyung's phone switched off.

"He never keeps the portable charger!",he grumbled once again to none but a doe eyed Kim Yeontan.

Anxiously, he called Jin's manager to know what exactly was making them so late.

["Taehyung-ssi! " ],Sejin mumbled after answering the call.

"Ah,Sejin-ssi...sorry for the disturbance. Actually... I was just wondering why is Jin-hyung getting so late....",Taehyung trailed;slightly embarrassed by his own behavior.

["He hasn't arrived yet? "],Sejin asked;worry lacing through his voice.

-"N-no....What do you mean,I-"

["Taehyung-ssi...."],the elder trailed.

["Everything is canceled. I don't.... Know what exactly happened but....Seokjin-ssi seemed really upset,Taehyung-ssi...."],Taehyung went numb as Sejin continued.

"When did he leave?",he stammered out.

He just couldn't imagine how much broken his hyung was at that moment.And the fact that he was not with him in such situation,made him feel even worse.

-["Umm....about... 4 hours ago...."]

As if on cue, the doorbell of their apartment rang. Taehyung's head snapped up.

"Its okay Sejin-ssi. I think he's come. I'-Ill call you later.",he hurriedly said and hung up the call while rushing toward the front door.

As soon as he opened the door,the slight curve on his lips faltered.

"Sir.....S-seokjin-ssi a-asked me to halt at a bar.I swear I didn't want to but....he....."

Taehyung gestured Jin's driver to not be worried and pulled his almost unconscious hyung into his own arm.

Jin slurred some words that he couldn't understand as the driver bowed to him and walked back through the corridor.

"Taehyungie....?"

Taehyung blinked a couple of times before focusing on Jin who had by now finished the glass of lemonade in his hand.

"I think... the painkiller is working. I'm... feeling a bit sleepy.", the older said while massaging his forehead.

Taehyung nodded and in a blink of an eye, Jin was scooped up by the younger.

Jin released a quiet yelp as Taehyung carried him to the bedroom in bridal style.

Gently placing him on the bed, the younger covered Jin with the blanket.

"Taehyungie~", Jin called out.

"Hmm, Angel?", Taehyung answered without looking at him.

"Aren't you upset with me at all?", the elder asked timidly, ashamed of what he had done last night.

Taehyung looked straight up at his hyung's eyes and cupped one of his cheeks in his hand.

Planting a soft lingering kiss on Jin's lips, he pulled back and smiled at him.

"Am I?",he murmured.

Jin smiled back at his love and shook his head.
