Taehyung woke that next morning with a start, realizing they needed to catch their plane early this time around when he was so used to catching his planes in the late afternoon. Taehyung hastily woke Jungkook, promising to allow him more sleep when they arrived at their Indiana hotel. Jungkook and Taehyung hastily packed up all their belongings and darted toward the counter to check out. Once all that was out of the way, they raced to catch a taxi to the airport- barely making it on time to their plane as they both sighed in relief. They prepared for takeoff, both of them falling asleep fairly easily while holding the other's hand during the entirety of their journey.

When they arrived in Indiana, Taehyung was the first one awake, stretching his back as he lightly shook Jungkook to wake him. Jungkook stirred slightly, whining about wanting more sleep before he finally stood to his feet and gathered his carry-on bag. Jungkook trudged aimlessly off the loading dock as Taehyung guided him over towards the luggage carousel so that they could claim their other bags. Jungkook watched sleepily as Taehyung collected the rest of their bags, rubbing his eyes while following after Taehyung. To keep from losing him, Jungkook gripped the edge of the back of Taehyung's shirt as Taehyung glanced behind him. He had to stifle his giggle at how adorable Jungkook looked holding his shirt and rubbing his sleepy eyes like that. He just wanted to kiss Jungkook's nose and call him the most innocent thing he'd ever seen. Although Taehyung knew that was far from the truth ever since they'd been sexually active with each other almost every night now. He'd discovered quite a bit about Jungkook that he would have otherwise never known without those interactions.

"I know you're tired, baby," Taehyung chuckled out as he proceeded to hail a cab, pulling Jungkook around from behind him. "But we'll be at the hotel soon enough, where you can go back to sleep and relax all you want," Taehyung added softly, holding Jungkook steady in front of him as a cab stopped for them. Taehyung opened the door for Jungkook, allowing him to sit down while he loaded their luggage into the trunk. When he was done with that, Taehyung closed the trunk heavily before walking over towards Jungkook and scooping him up to place him securely in his seat. Taehyung hastily strapped Jungkook in before climbing into the seat next to him, their driver waiting patiently for Taehyung to close the door. Once the door was closed, their cab driver entered the address into his GPS and drove them towards their hotel.

After Taehyung had collected Jungkook and all of their luggage from the taxi, he walked over towards the concierge's desk to check into their room. Jungkook stood solemnly by Taehyung's side with his head on Taehyung's shoulder the entire time Taehyung was checking in. Although Taehyung didn't mind because Jungkook reminded him of a cute sleepy bunny when he did that. Once Taehyung had their hotel key cards in hand, he navigated them towards their room with a tender smile. Jungkook was being far too adorable as Taehyung got them into their room and immediately carried Jungkook to the bed. Almost instantaneously, Jungkook closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep once again. Taehyung chuckled as he tucked Jungkook in and proceeded to bring all their suitcases into the room as well. He shut the door, dead bolting the lock, and scooted their bags into a corner in the room before stretching languidly. Taehyung glanced at his cell phone's clock to see that it was barely 7 in the morning as Taehyung yawned sleepily himself. He walked silently back over towards the bed and crawled up beside Jungkook, wrapping his hands around Jungkook's waist. Taehyung tenderly kissed Jungkook's cheek before snuggling his head into the back of Jungkook's shoulders. He closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep with Jungkook nuzzling deeper into his body.

When Taehyung woke again, it was well past 1 in the afternoon, Taehyung stretched languidly out on the bed- realizing Jungkook wasn't beside him when he did that. Taehyung slowly eased himself up into a sitting position, noticing a clump of hair the color of cocoa resting innocently on his pillow. Taehyung hastily snatched the clump of hair off of the pillow and huddled into himself, begging that his chemo sessions work and that his life be spared for Jungkook's sake. They had warned him he may lose his hair but he didn't think it would happen so soon and it only cemented the inevitable for him. He peeked his eyes open slowly after a moment, still feeling outrageously anxious when he noticed that the room was empty.

Taehyung climbed out of the bed, walking over towards the bathroom to discern the shower was on. Taehyung sighed with relief when he realized that Jungkook was showering as he knocked softly on the door. Jungkook's voice drifted through the door like a sweet song. "Yes, my love?" Jungkook called through the door as Taehyung chuckled softly at the way he'd responded. "I was just checking up on you and making sure everything was okay. I woke up and you weren't in bed or the room so I almost started to panic," Taehyung answered quietly through the door, chuckling at his own anxiety as he threw the clump of hair in the garbage can beside the door. Taehyung made sure to bury the hair under some tissues from the box offered by the hotel. With that taken care of, Taehyung sighed in relief and turned towards the door once more. "I'm going to go down to the corner coffee shop and get us some drinks and food. I'll be back soon," Taehyung called through the door lovingly as Jungkook hummed pleasantly in response.

Shortly after Taehyung left, Jungkook shut the shower off and climbed out before wrapping a towel around his waist. He ruffled his hair dry with another one and sighed pleasantly as he opened the bathroom door. Jungkook stepped out and began going about his routine for getting ready to go out. Jungkook was cleaning his ears, tilting his head, and glancing off into the distance when he noticed something off to him about the trash. Jungkook found it weird that clean tissues were now at the top of the trashcan when he distinctly remembered they'd just arrived at this hotel. Out of curiosity, Jungkook shifted the trash around, wondering what the tissues were concealing for it to look so conspicuous. Although, Jungkook instantly regret rifling through the trash when he realized what it was Taehyung was trying to hide. Jungkook hadn't even noticed that Taehyung's hair had started to fall out in clumps like this and Jungkook felt horrid for not realizing it sooner.

With a soft sigh, Jungkook replaced the trash the way Taehyung had left it and waited patiently for Taehyung to return. Which didn't take Taehyung long as Jungkook heard the lock shifting from a key card. When Taehyung popped open the door with a coffee carrier and a small bag, Jungkook sprung up off the bed with a smile, trying to act as if he had never seen what was in the trash. "Oh, thank you, love," Jungkook expressed his gratitude, helping Taehyung with the coffee carrier so he wouldn't drop their drinks. Taehyung smiled pleasantly as he placed the small bag containing their bagels on the counter. Jungkook placed the carrier down beside the bag, finally noticing that Taehyung's hair looked choppy and erratic. Jungkook felt his heart sink as he realized that Taehyung would probably lose his hair or get fed up enough and shave it off. Although Taehyung being bald didn't bother Jungkook, it was the simple fact that they'd both be reminded of Taehyung's impending situation every day if that were the case. Jungkook suddenly couldn't pretend anymore as he brushed his fingers tenderly through Taehyung's hair, causing the elder to sigh in resignation.

"T- Tae, I... I noticed that your hair is becoming thinner," Jungkook started hesitantly, not sure how to broach the subject of Taehyung losing his hair. "A- Are you sure y- you're going to be okay enough to continue traveling?" Jungkook asked softly out of concern, realizing he'd stunned Taehyung by the wide eyes staring at him. Jungkook suddenly felt shy as Taehyung straightened out and cleared his throat. "Yes, I'll be fine enough to travel. It may be my last chance so I'll have to be okay enough to continue... Just in case," Taehyung whispered the last part incoherently, too terrified to say it out loud. He didn't want this to be his last opportunity for anything. He wanted to continue to live and wanted to remain by Jungkook's side. He didn't want to allow someone else the opportunity to swoop in and have Jungkook for themselves.

Jungkook smiled encouragingly, pressing his hand against Taehyung's back and planting a soft kiss on Taehyung's cheek. "I'll be here every step of the way too," Jungkook announced firmly, turning Taehyung's head towards him to plant a sensual kiss upon his lips as well. Taehyung moaned softly into the kiss but pulled away slightly, both staring at each other heatedly. "Shall we have our bagels and coffee before we go out? Or do you think we could squeeze in a quickie and enjoy our bagels and coffee while we wander around Indiana?" Jungkook asked curiously, noticing Taehyung swallow hard. Jungkook realized he had Taehyung hooked when the elder pressed his lips to Jungkook's once again, encircling his arms around Jungkook's waist tightly and lifting him off the ground to carry him to bed.

Jungkook wrapped his arms firmly around Taehyung's neck, moaning softly when his back roughly hit the mattress. Jungkook was hesitant to run his fingers through Taehyung's hair this time, especially after their conversation but felt better about the situation when Taehyung pinned his wrists above his head. Jungkook panted softly when Taehyung released his lips, his free hand moving to unbuckle Jungkook's belt. Jungkook glanced down to discern Taehyung's progress and smiled when Taehyung followed his gaze to see what Jungkook was looking at. It gave Jungkook the perfect opportunity to nip Taehyung's neck in that position causing the elder to stare back at Jungkook lustfully. "That was a dirty trick," Taehyung whispered in a husky voice, removing Jungkook's belt from around his waist. Taehyung used Jungkook's belt to bound his wrists together, still holding them above the younger's head.

Jungkook shifted one lengthy leg to bend at the knee next to Taehyung's hip, playfully nudging the elder to continue. Taehyung smirked at Jungkook's perpetual teasing, leaning forward and nipping Jungkook in the dead center of his neck. Jungkook jolted harshly underneath Taehyung, a muffled whimper leaving his puffy lips as Jungkook sunk his teeth into his lower lip. He didn't expect his body to react that honestly to something he'd done to Taehyung moments before. With Jungkook nudging Taehyung to do more with his leg, the elder hastily yanked Jungkook's pants off his hips with a flourish. Jungkook offered a soft and encouraging smile as Taehyung unbuckled his own belt. Jungkook watched with a lustrous gaze as Taehyung stripped out of his shirt and pants before climbing back over Jungkook.

Taehyung planted one hand above Jungkook's head, holding the younger's arms down as he planted a soft yet sensual kiss upon Jungkook's lips. Jungkook's back arched to press his body firmly against Taehyung's as the kiss heightened into something more heated and passionate. Taehyung felt his head swim as he continued to kiss Jungkook, brushing his free hand up Jungkook's thigh before pulling away from the kiss. Taehyung spread Jungkook's legs wide in front of him before leaning back to admire the younger's naked lower regions. Jungkook flushed slightly, almost tempted to cover himself before Taehyung reached for the lubricant. Jungkook watched intently as Taehyung squirted a decent amount of lubricant onto his palm before evenly coating his length.

With Jungkook's legs spread wide for him, Taehyung elevated Jungkook's back slightly before jerking his hips towards him. Jungkook cried out in surprise as Taehyung entered him effortlessly with that one fluid motion. Before Jungkook could say anything, Taehyung pulled out and thrust back into him ruthlessly. Taehyung gripped Jungkook's knees harshly while he continued to thrust viciously into Jungkook, giving Jungkook his satisfaction quickly as he'd requested earlier. Taehyung hadn't even touched him yet and Jungkook was already writhing in front of him with immense pleasure as Taehyung smirked confidently. Although Taehyung had obtained little to almost no pleasure from the exchange, he pulled out of Jungkook with a sly smirk of self-gratification from how hastily Jungkook had achieved an orgasm. It was definitely the confidence boost he needed for his day as he leaned down and planted a tender kiss on Jungkook's lips.
