Yours, Always! (Taekook Short Stories)
Baby, I Am Sick! (One-Shot)
“Love isn’t just in the grand gestures, it’s in the warmth of a spoonful of soup, the weight of a familiar embrace, and the quiet promise of ‘I’ll take care of you, no matter what.’”
Taehyung wakes up feeling off.
His body is warm, his throat feels a little scratchy, and there’s a faint tickle in his nose.
He sniffles, and the sound is so pitiful that he immediately convinces himself, this is it.
He turns to Jungkook, who is sleeping peacefully beside him, his face calm and relaxed.
Usually, Taehyung loves watching Jungkook sleep.
His husband always looks so handsome in the morning, his messy hair falling over his eyes, his lips slightly parted.
But right now, Taehyung needs attention.
He reaches out, pressing his palm against Jungkook’s cheek, gently patting it.
Jeon Taehyung
Koo… wake up.
Jungkook groans, scrunching his nose as he buries his face deeper into the pillow.
Jeon Jungkook
Mmh… five more minutes.
Taehyung pouts. No, five more minutes won’t do. I could be gone in five minutes.
He sniffs dramatically and tugs on Jungkook’s sleeve.
Jeon Taehyung
Koo, please wake up… 🥺
Jungkook finally opens one eye, his voice groggy.
Jeon Jungkook
What’s wrong, Baby?
Jeon Taehyung
I think I’m dying. 🥺
Jeon Taehyung
I—I don’t feel good. (Taehyung sniffles again, rubbing his face against Jungkook’s chest)
Jeon Taehyung
My throat is scratchy, my body feels warm, and I have a cold. 🥺
Jungkook exhales through his nose, amused but too tired to argue.
Jeon Jungkook
So… you’re not dying?
Jeon Taehyung
Same thing.. (Taehyung mumbles, pressing himself against Jungkook like a helpless kitten)
Jeon Taehyung
I don’t feel good. I need you. 😗
Jungkook sighs, already knowing exactly where this is going. He runs his fingers through Taehyung’s soft, messy hair, rubbing gentle circles on his scalp.
Jeon Jungkook
Okay, baby. What do you need?
Taehyung immediately brightens. His wide eyes shimmer with an exaggerated kind of sadness.
Jeon Taehyung
Hug me tighter. 😁
Jungkook obeys, pulling Taehyung flush against his chest.
Jungkook closes his eyes.
Jeon Taehyung
Of course not. 🥺
Taehyung whines, nuzzling closer.
Jeon Taehyung
Carry me to the couch. I don’t think I can walk. 🥺
Jeon Taehyung
Please. 🥺 (Taehyung whimpers, fluttering his lashes)
Jeon Taehyung
I’m so weak. 🥺
Jungkook exhales loudly, then with zero hesitation, lifts Taehyung into his arms bridal-style, making the older let out a delighted giggle.
Jeon Jungkook
You’re so dramatic. (Jungkook mutters as he walks them to the living room)
Taehyung buries his face in Jungkook’s neck, clinging to him.
Jeon Taehyung
But you love me anyway. 😁
Jeon Jungkook
Yeah. I do. 😌
Once Taehyung is settled on the couch, wrapped in a cocoon of warm blankets, Jungkook tries to get up.
Jeon Taehyung
Where are you going? (Taehyung pouts, grabbing Jungkook’s wrist)
Jeon Jungkook
To get you medicine.
Jeon Taehyung
You’re abandoning me in my final moments? 🥺
Jungkook groans, dragging a hand down his face.
Jeon Taehyung
Fine~ 😢 (Taehyung sniffs, looking far too pitiful for someone who only has a slight cold)
Jeon Taehyung
I guess I’ll just lay here… all alone… and suffer… 🥺
Jungkook knows he’s being played, but he still sighs and sits back down.
Jeon Jungkook
Okay. What do you want first? Medicine or food?
Jungkook raises an eyebrow.
Jeon Jungkook
I thought you were too sick to eat?
Jeon Taehyung
Not if you feed me. (Taehyung insists)
Jungkook presses his lips together but goes to the kitchen anyway, heating up a warm bowl of soup. When he returns, Taehyung is curled up in the blankets, looking small and fragile.
Jungkook exhales through his nose, shaking his head as he lifts a spoonful of soup.
Jeon Jungkook
Okay, baby, open up.
Taehyung immediately perks up, parting his lips. Jungkook blows gently on the spoon before carefully feeding him.
The moment the soup touches Taehyung’s tongue, he sighs dreamily.
Jeon Taehyung
You’re the best husband in the world. 😘
Taehyung hums happily, leaning his head against Jungkook’s shoulder.
Jeon Taehyung
Can you rub my back while I eat?
Jungkook chuckles but obeys, gently rubbing slow, warm circles over Taehyung’s back.
Jeon Taehyung
This… (Taehyung sighs) …is true love.
Jungkook shakes his head fondly.
Jeon Jungkook
You’re impossible.
After finishing his soup, Taehyung refuses to move from Jungkook’s lap. Jungkook tries, really tries, to shift away.
Jeon Taehyung
Koo~ (Taehyung whines)
Jeon Jungkook
Tae, I need to—
Jeon Taehyung
No, you don’t. (Taehyung tightens his grip)
Jeon Taehyung
Just stay. 😤
Jungkook presses his lips together, exhaling heavily.
Jeon Jungkook
I need to go to the bathroom, baby~
Taehyung gasps, looking personally betrayed.
Jeon Taehyung
What if I die while you’re gone? 😱
Jeon Jungkook
Tae, it’s a cold.
Jeon Taehyung
But what if? 🥺
Jungkook sighs, presses a quick kiss to Taehyung’s forehead, and finally gets up. When he returns, Taehyung is full-on pouting, arms crossed like a child.
Jeon Taehyung
You took too long. (Taehyung mumbles)
Jungkook sits beside him and opens his arms.
Jeon Jungkook
Come here, you clingy baby. 😚
Taehyung immediately launches himself into Jungkook’s lap again, nuzzling into his chest.
Jeon Taehyung
Now it’s better. 😌
Jungkook smiles into Taehyung’s hair, secretly loving how needy his wife is.
They had both been married for 2 years, it was a love marriage. Jk fall for this clingy and cute baby bear.
By the time the evening sky paints their living room in soft hues of orange and purple, Taehyung is miraculously feeling much better.
Wrapped snugly in one of Jungkook’s oversized hoodies, he’s burrowed deep into his husband’s warmth, playing with the drawstrings of the hoodie absentmindedly.
Jungkook sighs, pressing his chin against Taehyung’s hair.
Taehyung hums, pressing a small kiss to Jungkook’s chest.
Jeon Taehyung
I think I just needed your love to heal me. 😙
Jungkook chuckles, rubbing slow circles into Taehyung’s back.
Jeon Jungkook
Or maybe you just needed to be spoiled rotten.
Taehyung gasps, sitting up slightly to look Jungkook in the eyes, scandalized.
Jeon Taehyung
Excuse me? Are you saying I faked my illness? 😤
Jeon Jungkook
I’m saying you definitely milked it for all it was worth.
Taehyung pouts dramatically, grabbing Jungkook’s hand and placing it against his forehead.
Jeon Taehyung
Feel that? I was burning up, you meanie! 😗
Jungkook sighs in mock defeat.
Jeon Jungkook
Okay, okay, my poor, helpless wife was truly on the brink of death.
Jeon Taehyung
I saw the light, Koo. But then you held me, and I thought, ‘No. I can’t leave yet. My Koo baby needs me.’ 🥺
Jungkook laughs, his dimples peeking through.
Jeon Jungkook
I knew you were dramatic, but this? This is a whole new level. 😂
Taehyung grins and wiggles even closer.
Jeon Taehyung
I don’t hear you complaining, though.
Jungkook rolls his eyes but doesn’t argue. He just tightens his arms around Taehyung, his fingers playing with the soft strands of Taehyung’s fluffy hair.
They sit in comfortable silence, the sound of the rain outside filling the room.
Taehyung sighs in contentment.
Jeon Taehyung
This is true love, Koo~ 😚
Jungkook smiles, pressing a soft kiss to Taehyung’s temple.
Jeon Jungkook
Yeah, it is.
Just as he’s about to close his eyes and relax, Taehyung suddenly gasps.
Jeon Taehyung
Oh my god. 😱
Jeon Jungkook
What? (confused and title his head)
Taehyung grabs his face, eyes wide.
Jeon Taehyung
You haven’t kissed me properly all day.
Jeon Jungkook
Tae, you literally had a cold.
Taehyung pouts aggressively.
Jeon Taehyung
So? What if I needed your kisses to get better faster? 😤
Jeon Jungkook
That’s not how medicine works.
Jeon Taehyung
Who cares about medicine? I believe in love therapy. 😌
Jungkook shakes his head but leans in anyway, brushing his lips softly against Taehyung’s. It’s warm, slow, and sweet so sweet that Taehyung melts instantly, sighing happily.
Jeon Taehyung
Mmm~ (Taehyung hums against his lips, smiling)
Jeon Taehyung
See? Already feeling so much better. 😁
Jungkook pulls away with a fond smile, ruffling Taehyung’s hair.
Jeon Jungkook
You’re lucky you’re cute.
Jeon Taehyung
I know.. 😌 (giggled cutely)
Jungkook wakes up feeling horrible.
His throat is sore, his head is pounding, and his entire body feels sluggish.
Before he can even register the disaster that has befallen him, Taehyung stirs beside him, stretching with a happy sigh.
He turns, all bright-eyed and well-rested, smiling sweetly, until he sees Jungkook’s miserable face.
Jeon Taehyung
No way. (Taehyung places both hands on his cheeks, looking scandalized)
Jeon Taehyung
Koo. Baby. Love of my life. Did you catch my cold?! 🥺
Jungkook groans, voice raspy.
Taehyung immediately springs up, eyes filled with pure panic.
Jeon Taehyung
Oh my god. What do we do?! You need soup! You need medicine! You need cuddles!
Jungkook chuckles weakly.
Jeon Jungkook
I don’t think cuddles are going to fix—
Taehyung presses a finger against his lips.
Jeon Taehyung
Shh. No arguments. I will take care of you now.
Jungkook gives him a skeptical look.
Jeon Jungkook
Tae… you don’t know how to take care of a sick person.
Taehyung gasps, looking personally offended.
Jeon Taehyung
Excuse me? I was literally sick yesterday, and I survived! Thanks to you!
Jeon Jungkook
Exactly!! (Jungkook mutters)
Taehyung crosses his arms.
Jeon Taehyung
Watch me, Jeon Jungkook. I will be the best nurse you’ve ever had. 😤
Jungkook sighs, closing his eyes.
Jeon Jungkook
This is going to be a disaster. 😫
Taehyung spends half an hour in the kitchen trying to heat up soup, only to come back with a bowl of questionable-looking broth, beaming proudly.
Jeon Taehyung
Here you go, baby! (Taehyung grins)
Jeon Taehyung
Your healing soup, made with love. 😁
Jungkook stares at it, then back at Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook
Did you… did you put sugar in this?
Jeon Taehyung
How did you know?!
Jeon Taehyung
It’s because you need energy, Koo! (Taehyung argues, pouting)
Jeon Taehyung
And you love sweet things!
Jungkook stares at him for a long moment.
Jeon Jungkook
You know what? It’s fine. This is fine.
Taehyung beams, clapping his hands.
Jeon Taehyung
Yay! You’re so lucky to have me. 😆
Jungkook looks up at the ceiling and sighs deeply.
Jeon Jungkook
Yeah… lucky.
Taehyung hums happily as he scoots closer, feeding Jungkook one spoonful at a time, completely unaware of the disaster soup he’s made.
Jungkook drinks it anyway, because even when Taehyung is a terrible nurse, he’s still the best wife in the world.
Jungkook somehow manages to finish the entire bowl of sweet soup, even though his taste buds are screaming for mercy.
But the way Taehyung keeps looking at him with those big, expectant eyes? Yeah, there’s no way he can disappoint his very enthusiastic nurse.
Taehyung wipes Jungkook’s lips gently with a napkin, his touch soft and full of love.
Jeon Taehyung
There! All done! You’re officially on your way to recovery, Hubby~
Jungkook gives him a tired look.
Jeon Jungkook
Tae… that was the worst soup I’ve ever had.
Taehyung gasps so loudly that Jungkook winces.
Jeon Taehyung
Excuse me?! It was full of love!
Jungkook chuckles weakly.
Jeon Jungkook
I think the love got lost in all that sugar.
Taehyung huffs, dramatically turning away with a pout.
Jeon Taehyung
Fine. Next time, I won’t make you anything. 😤
Jungkook immediately reaches for him, pulling Taehyung back into his arms despite how weak he feels.
Jeon Jungkook
Don’t be mad, baby. I still love you. 😚
Jeon Taehyung
I don’t know… Do you? 😤
Jungkook smiles softly, pressing a kiss against Taehyung’s cheek.
Jeon Jungkook
Of course, I do. 😚
Taehyung hums, pretending to think.
Jeon Taehyung
Hmm… I guess I can forgive you, but only if you let me cuddle you for the rest of the night.
Jungkook sighs dramatically, as if it’s a difficult choice.
Jeon Jungkook
Fine. But you better not move an inch.
Taehyung giggles, already burrowing into Jungkook’s chest, his arms wrapping around his husband securely.
Jeon Taehyung
Wouldn’t dream of it.
And just like that, the tables have completely turned.
Jungkook is now the sick, clingy baby, while Taehyung is his (questionably skilled) but incredibly loving nurse.
They spend the rest of the evening curled up together under warm blankets, watching cheesy romance movies that Jungkook secretly enjoys but will never admit to.
Taehyung peppers Jungkook with soft kisses every few minutes, whispering.
Jeon Taehyung
Get better soon, my love!! (over and over again, like a healing spell)
With Taehyung’s love surrounding him, Jungkook thinks he might just recover a little faster.
