Third person POV

"Aiichoo!" Taehyung sneezed, rubbing his already rad nose to get a pinkish shade. He was cold after their short rain dance and now getting temperature too.

Jungkook took a look at his husband while driving through the almost empty road at night. The younger was sitting at the passenger seat beside him. His jacket was loosely hanging on the younger's shoulder.

" Tae, put the jacket on tightly. It'll keep you warm." Jungkook voiced out, concerned about his husband's health. In this, Taehyung wrapped the long jacket around his body and hugged it tightly.

" I'm okay Jungkook, don't worry too much" Taehyung quietly uttered after getting comfortable in the car seat.

" No, you are not okay and I can clearly see it!" Jungkook retorted but there was no irritancy or arrogance but worries in his voice.

" Let's go to a hospital, you'll get check up and then I'll drop you at home." Jungkook hurriedly said and was going to turn the car toward hospital but Taehyung stopped him.

" Jungkook no! I'm okay! We are not going to any hospital or to any kind of doctors" Taehyung retorted back.

" But--" Jungkook stopped at seeing his husband's narrowed eyes on him, Taehyung's arms folded over his chest and he looked deadly at his husband's eyes, looking all scary.

"Okay, okay" the elder quickly surrendered and looked Infront at the road.

" Then at least we can take some medicines right?" Jungkook said quite afraid of his husband's scary eyes and took a quick glance at Taehyung.

Taehyung, breaking his sudden dominant demeanor, chuckled at his husband and nodded his head at which Jungkook also smiled fondly.

They moved along with the other cars at the road, just to reach at the next medical shop to get medicine for both of them and left for home happily.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

"Tae! Wake up!" Taehyung could hear his brother yelling at him for waking up but he didn't want to move a single limb on his body, tired from yesterday's painting which he completed this early morning.

" Tae! Seriously! How long are going to sleep?" He heard again but this time he felt like the voice was much closer than the earlier.

But he again sink down on the soft mattress more, pulling the comforter over his head. But at last he couldn't succeed as Jin pulled the comforter away from him.

"Hyung!" Whining, Taehyung turned around from his brother and tried to sleep while cuddling with his bunny plushie.

"Yay! Jeon Taehyung! Hurry and Wake up! This is the last time I'm warning you!" Jin voiced out his threat and Taehyung know what his hyung can do when he went full on threat mode.

Taehyung slowly sat up on his bed. Streaching his arms and rubbing his eyes, he asked his hyung "what time it is hyung?"

Jin scoffed at this and looked at his watch. Taehyung could see that Jin was al ready for going to work, his name tag was shinning under the bright sunlight.

" It's past 12" at this Taehyung just nodded at his brother. And was going to sleep again but had to halt at his brother's words.

" And if you are going to sleep again, you are gonna miss the art exhibition which will start just in 10 minutes." Jin said and folded his arms over his chest, watching his brother with a bored expression.

At this Taehyung got back his senses and jump on his feet to get ready. His sleep was long forgotten.

"Hyung why didn't you wake me up earlier!!" Taehyung, stumbling upon his feet, hurried to the washroom to get ready.

" I was calling you from the last 1 hour but you are sleeping like a dead meat okay. Now get ready and be there on time. You still have half an hour. It's 12:30." Jin shouted before leaving the room. He smiled to himself to get succeeded.

Jin knew his brother wouldn't budge a single if he didn't scare him like this and he felt quite proud for it.

On the other hand, Taehyung didn't hear anything his brother said before leaving. He took exactly 14 minutes to get ready and be presentable at the second date with his husband which was the exhibition.

He didn't notice the time in this hurry and quickly came downstairs, running. He stumbled upon Jin and the elder gave him a sandwich which Taehyung took and immediately bite down on the side of the food.

Taehyung wore the shoe while his brother fed him.

"Eat Slowly Tae! Jungkook won't scold you for getting late!" But it was like Taehyung didn't hear a single word and ate like he didn't get to eat for one week.

The younger hurriedly left the house after getting scold by his brother several times but he didn't care nonetheless. He got a taxi and told the driver the destination he was off to.

Taehyung couldn't wait to see his husband again after 2 days. He couldn't wait to see the surprise Jungkook would prepare for him this time.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Taehyung sighed. He was waiting. But there was no sign of Jungkook. He had seen the exhibition alone and spend the whole time alone.

After arriving the place, he had searched for the other but there was no sign of the CEO. He thought Jungkook might be late due to some work.

But after spending almost 3 hours alone and attempting several phone calls, he got fade up. Taehyung had called the CEO atleast for 30 times. But he got no response.

It was getting on his nerves. Taehyung stood up from the chair he was sitting in a Caffe and left the shop after paying the bills, which only content the strawberry and chocolate milkshake he had drunk.

It might be a business meeting or some important thing that Jungkook might had forgotten their date but Taehyung felt left out. He was getting upset more than getting angry.

Atleast he could have send me a single text-- a single drop of tears slipped out from his eye corner but he was quick enough to wipe it.

Taehyung, atlast took a taxi and went to home, his brother's house, and straight went to his room, ignoring the questioning eyes he was getting from Namjoon.

That day he didn't eat dinner let alone came out from his room, and cried himself to sleep.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Anyone might think that Taehyung was overreacting but it was understandable. Because it was not new for them, for their relationship. Taehyung knew Jungkook love him, but the deed, the CEO had done before, was not unforgettable.

And that's why Taehyung was fearing. He was afraid. He also knew this that Jungkook would never do such a thing again but it was tensing him.

It was already 3 days after the exhibition but he didn't get any response from the elder. He had called the other several times but didn't get any call back let alone get picked up when he called.

And it was tensing him. Jungkook might be in some trouble or anything could happen to him. But if anything had happened to him, he would get notified from the Jeons.

But never he got a call or anything from anyone in the family and now it's getting out of his control.

He couldn't just stay at home and try to believe that Jungkook would call him sometime and wait for it.

So he get dressed and left the house quickly. It was already 8 at night and he was going to check on the CEO.

" Hyung! Is Jungkook there?" He called Hoseok, asking about the CEO. Among any other people, Hoseok was the one who could get him the right information.

"No, Jungkook isn't coming to office these days. Don't you know?" He heard the other voiced out in an obvious tone.

" No, he didn't tell me anything." Taehyung replied, quite surprised.

" Oh? He didn't tell you? I thought you are there with Han, he was quite sick when I saw him last--" the elder of the two couldn't get to finish his talk as Taehyung cut him in middle.

"What! Han is sick!? And he didn't even tell me?!" Taehyung yelped at the phone. He was getting angry now.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't--" Taehyung cut the call before Hoseok could complete. He let the driver know the address of Jungkook's home and changed the destination.

He would be okay if Jungkook would hide something else but Haneul-- their son-- how could he not tell about Han? Let alone when he is sick?"

" Ajjushi, please drive fast, my son is sick." He pleaded to the driver and the driver, understanding the importance of the situation, drove as fast as he could, making them reach the penthouse building way more fast than the required time.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Taehyung could hear the crying from the distance as he entered the penthouse with the passcode. He didn't waste any time, left his bag on the couch, and rushed to his son's room.

Jungkook was comforting the kid but it was clear by the cries that he failed to do that. He was trying to calm down the kid by rocking him back and forth but eventually it was not useful.

Jungkook was rubbing the kid's back when Taehyung barged into the room, making both of the kid and father to look at him. He didn't pay attention to Jungkook as he rushed towards them and picked up Haneul, embracing him.

The kid, getting the filling of his mumma finally, immediately calmed down and get comfortable in Taehyung's arms. He clutched the other's neck with his little hands and buried his face in the crook of his mumma's neck.

Taehyung kissed the kid's temple and ran his fingers through the scalp of the kid to soothe him and eventually made him to go sleep.

Haneul was burning. Taehyung could just feel it with his arms around the kid and he couldn't believe that Jungkook didn't even let him know.

Speaking about Jungkook, at first he was surprised to see the younger there, barging into the room and all but after sometime he thought may be the younger came to know about the situation as he was not answering him at all.

" We'll talk later." Jungkook was looking at his lap when he heard Taehyung saying those words in a monotone and in a stern manner.

Jungkook could feel that Taehyung was not in the mood to play around. So he just stood up and quietly left the room, leaving the kid and his mumma behind to get comfortable.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Taehyung kissed Haneul on his forehead and wrapped him with a blanket. The kid slept as soon as he get the comfort from his mumma and Taehyung let the kid be, knowing very well what he need.

He caressed the side of his son and put a strand of hair back his ear. Then he remembered the elder. Most precisely what the elder deed. His blood boiled at the thought of not knowing about anything when he should be the first one to know.

Taehyung stood up and quitely left the room, not wanting to wake up the sleeping child. He very well knew where he could find his husband. So he went there and saw the elder standing there, leaning onto the glass railing.

Jungkook didn't turn around when he heard the door unlocking sound of his office's balcony. He knew it was Taehyung. And honestly it was expected.

Taehyung stood beside Jungkook, looking at him, deadly at his husband's side profile. Folding his hands over his chest, Taehyung started talking in a harsh tone.

" Why didn't you tell me Jungkook?" The younger asked. This was the first time he was angry at the other.

"About what?" Jungkook simply replied, ignoring the younger completely.

" About what!? You are asking me "about what"!?" Taehyung slightly rose his voice at the other. There was a visible anger on his tone.

"Jungkook you very well know what I'm talking about. Why didn't you tell me that Han is sick!? Why I have to hear it from others?" Taehyung asked, titling his head to watch the other clearly.

Taehyung was expecting an answer in which he just got silence. Jungkook didn't utter a single word.

" Jungkook tell me!" Taehyung snapped at his husband who was still ignoring to look at him. Taehyung scoffed at this in disbelief.

" And look at me, look at me you idiot!" Anger got him the best and he snapped up very badly, turning Jungkook to his side to look at him.

" Now tell me-- why didn't you let me know that my son was sick and hurting? Why didn't you tell that Han was hurting? Why? Why?" He yelled but the other didn't show any interest which infurates him more.

" Jungkook don't you think I have the right to know-- why I was not informed when my son was hurting and getting more and more sick?!" This time tears were pricking from the younger's eyes. It hurt him to see his son in pain.

" I know you have been busy taking care of Han but You could have just send a text to me saying to come over or something or... or atleast pick my phone when I called you. I was scared to death when I heard it from Hoseok hyung." The younger said.

" Hyung told you?" At this Jungkook looked up and said.

" Is this important to you right now? After everything?" Taehyung replied.

Then suddenly something click on his head, letting him wonder the worst possiblity which he didn't want to think at all but the situation making him to think that. And more tears gathered in his eyes.

" You-- still don't think I'm also Han's parent right?" this time Taehyung was not yelling or something, but he stuttered. The rage he was having a minutes ago was long gone. And now it was replaced by utter pain and heartbreak.

Jungkook didn't look up to see the other in the eyes who was sobbing silently, he was looking outside. Taehyung scoffed at this and chuckled but sadly.

"Jungkook when I said I can't live without Han, I mean it. I seriously can't live without him let alone see him in pain. And I'm sorry because I really can't help it after hearing he was sick--"

" --and I'm sorry again that you still can't believe me with Han." He paused, looking at his own feet but said again, looking at the other.

There was pain and guilt on Jungkook's expression too but not as much as Taehyung was feeling then.

" We are still at the same position Jungkook. Still you don't want me to be Haneul's parent and I'm still here-- crying over-- because once again...you showed me.. that I'm really nothing but a.. just an another person in your life... Who doesn't matter... At all."

Taehyung was sobbing while saying those painful words. Though he still could see the painful expression on the other and guilt but it didn't matter.

Jungkook did what he did and it hurt Taehyung to the core.

" I didn't expect it from you of all the people." Jungkook clenched his jaw after hearing those words with full of pain. He balled his fist cursed to himself in his mind for letting the other even let a single tear fall from his eyes.

Jungkook was holding himself too. He also didn't want to make Taehyung cry or even think about what Taehyung just confessed but it just happened somehow. He couldn't help anything.

One thing led to another and here they were. Arguing just because Jungkook did another mistake. Another stupid things. And it was none other than hurting Taehyung, the most precious person of his life.

He thought he could explain himself but now that Taehyung told the situation they were in, it drowned upon him what he did. And it was awfully the worst thing to do the younger.

"I thought you---" Jungkook looked at Taehyung at this as he took in the sad and broken face of his husband.

"---you loved me" Taehyung whishpered the words and it broke Jungkook's heart too.

Taehyung wiped his tears and made his way out of the balcony and Jungkook stood there, looking blankly at the wall Infront of him.

Clenching his jaw and balling his fist to the point his knuckles became white, he let a tear slip from his eyes.
