Jungkook slowly woke up from another nap or maybe the effect of the drugs to see he was still in the hospital bed. He tried to bring his hands up to cover his eyes from the blinding light but the stupid cuffs did not allow him.
He sighed, mind wandering back to all Jimin updated him and his blood boiled at the information of the stupid gangs that tried to take him out.
"Those bastards tried to ambush him like that! They should have prayed harder that he had died because he is coming for all their heads!"
He fummed
"But how come he isn't dead" he remembered losing a lot of blood while speaking to the detective before someone bursted into his place of hiding.
Taehyung?!
He called taehyung? But he can't remember what the call was about. Did he inform the detective of his location? Why did taehyung come for him? Wait! Why did the bastard even hand cuff him here?
"Of course" he snorted looking around the room for something to pick the cuff with but nothing.
He was trying to check his wound when he suddenly heard the detective's voice outside his room
"Thank you, you can go now I will handle things from here" Taehyung had said to someone maybe another detective before the door was gently opened and Jungkook immediately closed his eyes pretending to still be unconscious as the detective walked into the room.
Taehyung walked into the room and saw the young Mafia boss lying unconscious on the bed, he looked around the room and proceeded to check outside the window before standing beside the younger.
He examined Jungkook's body seeing that his color had returned to normal, seeing him pale and passed out on him that night was a sight he doesn't want to ever see again.
As a detective seeing people dead was almost normal but he couldn't explain the feeling he had when the younger was in his arms lifeless and pale in a pool of his own blood. He had panicked so bad lifting the younger into his arms and running back the direction he came and luckily they were ambulance waiting outside.
He had followed them straight to the hospital and insisted on an immediate operation to get the bullets out. He had waited outside the Operation room for hours as nurses ran in and out and lost count of blood bags that were been brought in and out and here the brat was pretending to be asleep.
"If you want to pretend to be unconscious, you should atleast manage your heartbeat and breathe" he tainted taking a seat beside the Mafia boss who opened his eyes with a chuckle and proceeded to seat up.
"It's nice of you to come and say hi" the younger joked causing taehyung to roll his eyes before pulling aside the younger's gown to see the covered wounds.
"Are you in pain? Do you need me to call a doctor?" Taehyung asked in calm voice staring at the badaged wound.
"You know this isn't my first gunshot wound?" Jungkook laughed pushing the older's hands away
"And you would have died this time, if I didn't get to you as fast as I did"
"Is that why I am handcuffed to the bed?" Jungkook raised his hands that were cuffed to the bed with a raised brow.
"Why? I thought you wanted me to arrest you?" Taehyung asked tinting his head to one side a little in amusement
"Why would I ever want that?" Jungkook asked in confusion and irritation.
"Oh, you don't remember. Does that mean you don't remember asking me to fuck up against a cell bar with handcuffs on your both wrist?" He proceeded to tease the younger who had his eyes wide at this point.
Was that what their conversation was about when he called taehyung. Now he didn't have anything to say back in return but had to bite back.
"You want to fuck me right now? In exchange for saving my life?" He returned the tease seeing the older's brows come together in a frown
"Don't worry I can take it, even after a surgery. I have to pay off my debt" he added opening his legs and winked at the older who looked at him with a done face causing Jungkook to chuckle 'two can always play this game'
Taehyung walked around his bed and unlocked the handcuffs. "You were never under arrest, this was to make sure I saw you before you flee the hospital.
Jungkook nodded not sure what to make of that information. Taehyung saved his life and went further to make sure he was treated and protected while he recovered?
Whatever, he needs to get out of here.
"How did you even get yourself into that mess? It was obvious from the invitation it was a set up and honestly I overlooked it because I believed no one would fall for it when I got the tip"
"I have no intrest in sharing my business with you. Detective" Jungkook stated rubbing his now uncuffed wrist.
True, Taehyung thought but those gangs are very dangerous having dealt with them first hand and if they are after someone it means it for a pay back or the target has something they desperately want and they won't stop till they get it.
It's not like he is worried. Jungkook can very much take care of himself but what happened that night shows that one cannot be too careful.
"Hey, what are you doing?" He asked seeing the younger removing the syringe connected to drip bag.
"Chill. I am only going to the bathroom"
"You are supposed to roll the drip bag hanger with you there."
"Am I supposed to shower with it?" Jungkook asked still trying to stop the blood.
"Don't do it yourself, let me call a nurse.."
"Don't call anyone!" He rejected
Taehyung sighed for the nth time before walking towards the younger to handle the bleeding arm.
He removed the pasters around the place, pressing a cotton wool into the place while added pressure to hold it in place. He got out a small wound plaster with his other hand. He checked to see the blood has reduced. He changed the cotton swap with a small one before putting the plaster to secure it in place.
"Done" he announced after confirming it was in place only to meet the younger staring at him amusedly.
Jungkook smiled looking away from the detective almost getting enchanted by his good looks again
"You are pretty good at this" he said looking at his well secured arm.
"Had a lot of practice. Do you need help going to that bathroom?"
"No, I'm good" Jungkook shook his head before fully sitting up and gently stepping down from the bed. He gave himself a few seconds to get used to feeling his feets on the floor before taking a step.
Taehyung carefully watched him walk into the bathroom and heard the sound of water after a few minutes.
He opened the wardrop in the room to find a fresh bedsheets to change the bed with. He changed the sheets. Opened the windows to ventilate the room better. Turned on the air purifier, he wasn't sure how many minutes passed by until the younger called out his name softly from the bathroom.
"Yeah?"
"Can I get a towel? And a proper change of clothes? There should be some in the wardrobe." He requested.
Taehyung walked back to the wardrobe he opened early and picked out a bathrope, towel and a comfortable pijamas. He walked towards the door and knocked before outstretching his hands into the bathroom without looking to hand him the clothes but it was not collected.
"What do you think you are doing?" Jungkook asked him.
"What?" He asked confused.
"My arm hurts, please don't stress me and bring in the clothes and stop acting like it's the first time you are seeing me naked"
"Oh, uh-huh" the detective carefully walked in to see the younger standing in his naked glory.
"Towel?" Jungkook requested and the detective handed him the towel and the bathrope next after he had patted his body a few time.
"Come help me dry my hair. It's uncomfortable with one arm"
"O-of course" Taehyung walked closer "Let me help you with your pants" he offered walking closer and helping the younger wear the pijamas pant one leg after the other.
He still had the rope hang lazily over his shoulders as taehyung came behind him to dry his hair with tower.
Jungkook standing in front of a mirror waited as taehyung dried hair decide to rest his exhausted body on the older. He rested his body on the others chest and sighed closing his eyes as the older did his job.
Soon he felt himself being turned around and lifted from under his thighs and in reflex wrapped his legs around taehyung waist and his good hand over his shoulder.
Oh he would have protested or dropped a sneaky comment but he is just tired and for once wanted to be taken care of.
Taehyung brought the younger back into the room, sitting him on the bed before helping him wear his shirt.
"Don't lay down yet" he instructed walking back to the closet to find a hair dryer. "You will catch a cold if you don't dry your hair completely"
Jungkook was already sleepy and tired. He feels weak which is probably from the drugs or the too much sleep but all he wants right now is to crawl under the clean sheets and sleep again.
"Hurry, I want to sleep~" Jungkook whined, yawning before rubbing his eyes with his closed fist.
Taehyung was shocked at the overload of cuteness, Hot Jungkook was already the death of him but cute Jungkook is bad for his heart as he can hear the muscle in his chest pounding profusely.
"What are you waiting for?" Jungkook asked pulling him closer by the waist and resting his head on his chest. "I hope you can dry the hair like this" he mumbled already closing his eyes.
It took taehyung a couple of seconds to regain his composure and started to gently blowdry the hair not moving around much to have Jungkook be as comfortable as possible.
Yoongi opened the door but closed it immediately seeing the position their boss was in.
"Why are you closing the door?" Jimin asked confused at the gesture.
"Change of plans. Let's go have dinner"
"What- but someone needs to be with Jungkook right now" Jimin protested.
"Don't worry, someone is already in the room with him"
Jimin knows extractly what the older meant because each time the detective is here he doesn't want anyone in the room with them. He looked at the closed door for a few seconds before hesitantly going after yoongi.
'Are they in some sort of relationship now?'
