Taehyung did not speak much throughout their drive back to their dorm. His teeth still chattered even though Jungkook had turned on the heater. Well, he was wet and in the rain for too long. He just replied to Jungkook's 'Are you okay?' with a nod and his roommate knows that he is definitely not okay.

When they reach the dorm building, Jungkook parks his car and helps Taehyung get out of it and walk to their room. When the get inside the room, Jungkook sighs heavily.

He quickly locks the door and makes Taehyung sit on his bed. "Tae, I need you to get changed into comfortable, dry clothes, okay?" He says, gently cupping his cheeks to get his attention.

The scene has traumatised Taehyung. He has always hated violence. He has witnessed a lot of violence in his life and that has surely left an impact on him. Now seeing Jimin, a seemingly cute boy, shooting a person and ordering people around scared the shit out of him.

"Okay." Taehyung whispers. Jungkook nods and walks over to Taehyung's cupboard. He takes out a hoodie and trousers for his roommate.

He walks back to the shivering boy as he wants him to change his clothes as soon as possible. He doesn't want the other getting sick but when he reaches the bed, he sees the blue haired boy laying down on the mattress. His arms are crossed across his chest and legs are curled in such a way that they touch his hands that are on his chest. He looks like a ball. What concerns Jungkook more is that he is shivering badly and the chatter of his teeth are audible. His eyes are squeezed shut and he is still wet.

Jungkook puts Taehyung's clothes away and quickly climbs on the bed. He is now sitting next to the blue haired boy. He touches his hand, wanting to shake him so that he pays attention to him but he is shocked when he realises how badly Taehyung is freezing. Yes, Jungkook carried him but he did not realise how cold Taehyung was because he was wet himself. Now that they are in the room, he wonders what he should do to warm Taehyung.

"Tae! Hey, get up! You need to change, sweetie. Get up." Jungkook says softly. He is surprised at his own words. He just called Taehyung 'sweetie' but that is not something that is bothering him right now. It's Taehyung's state that is worrying him.

"Taehyung! Please get up and get changed." Jungkook shakes him but Taehyung is not even responding. He is just shivering and his eyes are rolling at the back of his head.

Jungkook is panicking. For a person who hurts people who deserve it, taking care of people is not his cup of tea. But he is willing to do it for Taehyung. After all, he has liked him for a long time now.

Jungkook suddenly remembers one incident when they went to attack the hideout of a rival mafia group. It was freezing cold at that time and Namjoon was hurt. He couldn't even defend himself because he is basically a tech guy and he is not into violence. He was freezing then, just like Taehyung is right now. He remembers what Seokjin did to help Namjoon and it turned out to be pretty effective. Maybe Jungkook should do it too. Maybe it would work on Taehyung as well.

Keeping that in mind, he scoots closer to the blue haired boy. His hands find the buttons of Taehyung's white shirt and he starts unbuttoning them. Taehyung is too far away from him even though he is just so close. He doesn't realise what Jungkook is doing. At least that's what Jungkook thinks since Taehyung is so motionless.

"I'm really sorry, Taehyung. I know I shouldn't be doing this but I cannot think of any other way. Please forgive me. I really, really don't wanna seem like I am taking advantage of you." Jungkook mumbles as he unbuttons the last button.

Too much movements make Taehyung open his eyes. He just stares at Jungkook without moving at all. It's like he trusts him. He is too weak to do anything himself anyway.

"I'm sorry, Tae. But I'll have to undress you." Jungkook says, fidgeting with the button of Taehyung's jeans. "I won't look. I promise." Jungkook says earnestly. Taehyung somehow manages to nod.

Jungkook starts undoing Taehyung's jeans but since it's wet, it's actually a struggle to remove the piece of clothing from his legs. "Damn Tae, try lifting your legs a bit." The ravenette says but he himself lifts the blue haired boy's legs up because he knows that the other is too weak to do it himself.

After four or five minutes of struggle, he finally removes the jeans. The last piece of clothing left of Taehyung's body is his boxers.

I'm sorry, Tae. This is not how I imagined it to be. He says to himself, closing his eyes for a brief moment.

He then opens his eyes and looks into Taehyung's beautiful orbs. "Can I, Tae? I promise that if this wasn't absolutely necessary, I wouldn't have done this. I respect you a lot so don't think I'm trying to take advantage of you but I can't think of any other way. Please believe me. I'm not lying. I would never-"

"I-I bel-believe you. Y-You can d-do it." Taehyung says as his teeth chatter more when he tries to speak. Jungkook nods and hooks his hand in Taehyung's boxers to pull them away.

Soon Taehyung is naked but Jungkook doesn't look at him. He brings another pair of boxers and makes his roommate wear them.

He then looks at the shivering boy and picks him up in his arms. Taehyung is surprised but he is too tired and weak to protest. Jungkook walks over to his own bed and places the blue haired boy on it. He quickly covers the other with a blanket and says, "I'll be right back, okay?"

Taehyung nods again. He has no idea what he is doing under the blanket, almost naked but he does not care. All he wants is just some warmth.

Soon he sees Jungkook who sits on the bed next to him. The ravenette is looking at him already. Taehyung is surprised or more like shocked to see that Jungkook is shirtless. He averts his eyes, trying not to look at him.

Jungkook slips under the blanket. He wraps his arms around Taehyung and pulls him closer to himself. Human warmth will normalise Taehyung's temperature sooner than anything else is what he thinks.

Taehyung sighs in content when his body comes in contact with Jungkook's comparatively warm one. Jungkook looks at him and starts, "I know you don't want this Tae but-"

"I f-feel better. Th-Thank you so much, Kookie." Taehyung says and lets his body sink in Jungkook's, feeling his warmth enveloping him. Jungkook smiles as he notices how comfortable the blue haired boy looks in his arms.

"It will soon be okay." He whispers and he doesn't know what takes over him but he pecks Taehyung's forehead tenderly.

Taehyung smiles a little at the other's actions. He feels good and he probably would've squealed had he been feeling better. He doesn't know why but he feels like he would never want to get out of Jungkook's hold. This is so peaceful.

"Now sleep, Tae. I'm right here." Jungkook says, patting Taehyung's forehead to make him sleep. Taehyung smiles and snuggles closer to Jungkook's naked chest. He doesn't care if he is almost naked in bed with a shirtless Jungkook. All he cares about is the comfort the other is providing. He feels so happy that Jungkook decided to befriend him. Maybe his life isn't that bad after all.
