45.
The rain pitter-pattered on the glass window as jungkook looked at it with unexpressive eyes. Currently, he's doing an advertisement for a new model of phone by a famous phone company, totally not interested in doing it. He has already been feeling low the whole week and he has no energy left to do anything anymore.
"Jungkook-ssi, are you ready?" the director asked, breaking jungkook away from his trance, who nodded and got ready for his shot.

"Hah! Finally!" he yawned as he stretched his arms out. He was damn tired and strangely felt hot.
"Is the weather that hot?" he spoke out, nudging his turtleneck sweater.
Yumi quickly came to him and gave him an iced tea.
"Sir, is there any problem?" yumi asked
"Ahh, no. I just feel a bit hot today"
"Do you want me to take you home then?" jungkook shook his head.
"You go home first, all of you are having a party right? I'll be alone at home anyways" jungkook said and yumi blushed.
"But how should—" she was cut off
"Come on, i'll drive by myself. Now, go" he shooed yumi away, who was still worried but eventually went.
"Ahh, i need a cigarette" jungkook ruffled his hair as he sat inside his car and drove off.
"Aish! I stopped smoking" he punched the steering wheel slightly and let his head fall on it.
He thought about something before gulping and driving away.
Just for a while.

He looked at the white painted house and sighed.
"I told myself not to come back yet here i am" he ruffled his hair and got out of the car. It was still raining lightly, messing with jungkook's styled hair. He walked towards the door and was about to ring the bell but stopped himself, clenching his hand into a fist and sighed.
He just sat on the stairs, his head falling to the side, on the railing as he stared at his car standing in the rain.
"Ahh, i wanna sleep" he tiredly mumbled and felt his eyes drooping.
Just for a while
"Why is everything turning blurry?"

"Jimin, i'm leaving to meet Seo-Joon!" taehyung yelled as he wore his wrist watch while jimin yelled back an "okay" from the living room.
"Do you want something else?"
"Buy some ice cream!"
"Okay! Bye!" taehyung said and opened the door, then closing it.
He was about to walk when he flinched seeing a figure sitting on the porch.
"What the f—" he was about to curse but his eyes widened seeing who it was.
"Jungkook?! You again? I told you to not come here again, don't you get it at once?" he frowned but noticed that the other was not even moving.
He got a bit suspicious so he walked forward and tried to push jungkook but the other suddenly fell down making taehyung gasp.
"Jungkook! Oh my god!" he quickly sat him back up, taking his sweaty head on his lap.
"Are you okay?!" he tried to shake the other but it was of no use, jungkook had fainted.
"Oh my god, his head his burning" taehyung touched his forehead and it was clear, jungkook had a high fever.
Taehyung looked here and there to find no one, meaning jungkook came alone.
"Tch. I can't even ask jimin for help" he clicked his tongue and then looked at jungkook and gulped
"Let's take you home first, then we'll see" taehyung said and tried to put jungkook's heavy arm around him, making him stand up.
"Gosh, you're so heavy" he grunted and then opened his umbrella and dragged both of them towards jungkook's car.
He made him sit in the passenger's seat and sat in the driver's seat.
He looked at jungkook and sighed then drove away.

They reached jungkook's home and taehyung, with struggle, got jungkook out of the car and took him towards his house.
He rang the doorbell multiple times but no one answered.
"Why is anyone not home?!" taehyung grunted.
He sighed as he opened the door by himself and took jungkook towards the couch.
Even though he knew the address of jungkook's house, he had never visited it. And now that he's finally here, his heart can't help beating fast, and he hates himself for it.
He took a breath of relief as soon as he put jungkook down on the couch.
He stared at jungkook for a while before getting up.
"Let's leave now" he said and turned to leave.
He was about to leave but soon halted and turned to look at jungkook who was dripping with sweat and water.
He rubbed his forehead and took his coat off, then looked around the house to see where jungkook's room was.
As soon as he found out, he took a pair of t-shirt and sweatpants out and a towel then walked back to the living room where jungkook was sleeping.
"Let's make you sit up" taehyung grunted as he somehow made jungkook's heavy body sit up on the couch.
He gulped as he looked at jungkook but immediately averted his eyes.
He shut his eyes tightly as he unbuttoned jungkook's shirt and removed it. His heart was beating so loudly that in the empty room, it could be clearly heard.
He doesn't know what is going through his mind right now, he just knows that he can't leave jungkook in this state when there's nobody to take care of him, out of pity.
Albeit, even if he wants to think that way, his heart knows that what he was doing wasn't out of pity or as an act of humanity.
He then took his shoes off and blushed as he was now about to remove his pants. He really didn't want to but he had no other option. He couldn't let jungkook be in dampened pants.
He still had his eyes closed as he removed pants and, with struggle, was able to change his pants.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart down. But his fingers were burning. Burning, wherever they touched jungkook's hot body and even though his eyes were closed the whole time, his hands still remember every single curve of jungkook's body and they were enough to remind his heart what impact jungkook has on him.
He then laid the ravenette back on the couch, this time keeping a pillow behind his head. He, then went into the kitchen and brought ice water, dipped the towel in it and wiped jungkook's sweat off with it.
Even though, he decided to not look at jungkook while doing the task, he just couldn't help it. Knowing that there was no one here to see his fazed state, he couldn't help but let his guard down, staring at every little detail he could because this would be the only time he might be able to cherish it. When jimin can't see him, where seo-joon can't see him and where jungkook wasn't able to notice.
He grazed his fingers over jungkook's cheek which was burning with heat, tracing the lines of the scar on his cheek. He let his head rest on his knees as he looked at jungkook while placing the cold and wet towel on his forehead.
"It would have been lovely if i could see this face of yours everyday. It reminds me of the time when you slept back at the hotel, holding me and i couldn't help but smile and feel loved" taehyung mumbled out, his voice cracking a bit as tears invaded in his eyes.
"Seo-joon is waiting for me at this posh 5-star restaurant since we were about to have dinner. It's been 30 minutes since we came here, he might be sad, or even angry. I should probably call him and tell him that i'm coming. Or i should call byeol and tell her to talk to your assistant and make her come here to take care of you, but i'm such a fool that i'm doing neither of the things, right? I am such a fool that i push you away and tell you i'm over you then come here and take care of you" taehyung smiled a lopsided smile, tears gently slipping out of his eyes.
"I'm terrified by thoughts of getting close to you, jungkook. The more i want to be with you, the more scared i get of getting hurt. I tried everything to make myself forget about you. Ate so many ice creams that i gained 2 kgs, cried till i fainted, tried to make you give up, faked a boyfriend. But you just don't give up. If you'll be this persistent how am i suppose to move on?" taehyung gently punched jungkook's chest before taking the towel, dipping in the cold water again and placing it back on jungkook's forehead.
"I cannot give up on you, so please you give up on me instead" taehyung said, wiping his tears away.
"Looks, like no one's gonna be home till tomorrow morning. Were you planning to be alone till then?" he sighed as he took his socks and watch off then kept it on the table, then rested his head on the couch, beside jungkook.
"Get well soon, so i can leave, please" he mumbled.

"Ahh~ I'm so tired. We partied the whole night, yesterday" yumi yawned as she opened the door.
But seeing the sight in front of her made her drop her bag and keys on the floor and her hands immediately cupped her mouth.
Kim Taehyung was in the middle of keeping a wet towel over jungkook's forehead.
"M-mr. Kim?!" she whisper shouted as taehyung looked at her, eyes lacking sleep.
"Ah. Thank god, you're here. His fever is gone but make sure you take care of him well for now. I'll be leaving. Can you do me a favor and drop me at my house?" taehyung brazenly said as he wore his watch, leaving yumi speechless.
"O-o-okay" yumi rushed towards the car and drove taehyung home.
Everything was really confusing to her. Why would mr.kim come to mr.jeon's house? Mr.jeon got a fever?! But if he was here, did they make up?
So many things were running in her mind; she soon parked the car in front of taehyung's house who got out.
He turned to look at yumi, who flinched.
"Yumi-ssi, please don't say anything to jungkook. I hope you can do at least this much for me. Also, forget whatever you saw. Thank you, for dropping me" taehyung bowed and left, leaving yumi more confused than before.
Taehyung yawned as he opened the door, just wanting to head to bed and sleep but instead he was met with a raging jimin who was briskly walking towards him.
He's not ready for this right now.
"Where were you, Mr. Kim Taehyung?"
