Please, You Stay Alive (Taekook)
Episode Seventeen
Jungkook makes his way back, with snacks in hand, to Taehyung who has taken residence on the couch in the living room.
Jungkook dumps the snacks onto Taehyung's lap without a word or emotion.
Taehyung says in a warning tone, eyebrows knitted as he frowns up at Jungkook.
Jungkook pays the man no mind, his attention suddenly turning to what Taehyung had been watching on TV – a news program.
"...violent attacks all over South Korea..."
"...reports that the infection has spread across several other countries including the U.S. ..."
Jungkook can no longer hear the television over the sound of his own panicked breaths.
Taehyung looks up at him in concern.
Jungkook frantically shakes his head no.
Tears well up in his eyes.
He feels as if not enough oxygen is getting into his lungs despite his quick gulps of air.
Taehyung
Jungkook, look at me.
Now Taehyung is in front of him with his large hands cupping his face.
Jungkook forces his eyes to focus on the man in front of him
Taehyung
Everything will be fine.
Taehyung
The government will—
Jungkook shakes his head.
Jungkook
No, it won't be fine!
Jungkook
I should've never talked my parents into taking that trip.
Jungkook
They could be hurt o‐or worse because of me.
Tears flow down Jungkook's cheeks, wetting Taehyung's hands.
Taehyung gently shushes Jungkook as his thumbs calmly brush away his tears.
Taehyung
Your parents will be fine, Jungkook.
Taehyung
I'm sure they're safe wherever they are.
Taehyung
You'll be with them again soon enough.
Taehyung
You just have to be strong and keep going until then, okay?
As strange as it seems Taehyung's words comfort Jungkook somehow.
The younger man nods firmly.
Taehyung gives him a proud smile.
