A Way To Your Heart - Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Taehyung slowly opened his eyes when his nose sensed something delicious. He didn't realize when he slept after Jungkook left the room. He felt so hungry after he wake up from his sleep and why not when the smell itself was too delicious even before eating?
He removed the duvet and tried to get down from the bed, completely forgot about his ankle out of hunger, but once his feet touched the floor, he realized that he took the worst decision by getting down there by himself. He fell on the floor just when the door opened with Jungkook standing there holding a tray in his hand.
"Taehyung..!!"
Jungkook wasted no time as he run towards Taehyung who was lying on the floor with pain and placed the tray on the side table before helping the other to get on the bed again.
He checked Taehyung's ankle, it was already swelling.
"Didn't I tell you to take a rest? Why are you moving aroung with a sprained ankle?"
Jungkook furrowed his eyebrows glaring at Taehyung but god, that was so scary that Taehyung couldn't even look up in his eyes.
"This doesn't look good at all. I'll call the doctor. You need to see a doctor right now."
"But...."
Taehyung slowly spoke in a low voice when Jungkook took out his phone.
"What?"
Jungkook stopped his finger from scrolling through his contact list.
"I'm... I'm hungry. Can I eat that first?"
Taehyung said pointing at the tray on the table beside his bed with a pout looking like an innocent puppy asking for treats.
"Are you serious?"
Jungkook facepalmed himself.
"Do you care about eating more than your pain?"
"How can I hold the pain when I'm hungry and my stomach is empty? I need energy for it."
Jungkook just sighed and took the tray from the table and gave it to Taehyung who took it happily.
"Thank you. I'll eat them well. They smells so nice and looks so delicious too."
Taehyung smiled and looked up to find Jungkook was already on his phone to call the doctor which made Taehyung to pout a little since Jungkook didn't heard him.
"Eat them. He's coming in 15 minutes."
Jungkook said as he was about to go out of the room but....
"Feed me."
Taehyung said suddenly making Jungkook to stop his steps and turned back with an 'are you serious' face.
"Feed you? How old are you? Even 3 years old kid knows how to eat by themselves."
"Well... then I'm a 2 years old."
Taehyung grinned showing his boxy smile widely but Jungkook just stood there staring at him.
"What? I'm hurt you know."
"People eats with hand and you hurt your ankle not your hands."
"Oh come on. I'm a patient here. Shouldn't you be helping me at least?"
Jungkook just rolled his eyes but still sat on the bed beside Taehyung while the other giggled as he wait for Jungkook to feed him.
"Woahhh... This is so delicious. I didn't know you can cook so well. Where did you learn cooking from?"
Taehyung said after he finish his food, well... of course by Jungkook feeding him.
Jungkook looked up and was about to say something but saw Taehyung's oily lips instead. He just shook his head as he took out the tissue from the table and wiped them out.
"You don't even know how to eat properly huh? Are you really 2 years old? Do I need to take care of you like this all the time?"
Taehyung just stared at Jungkook when Jungkook suddenly start wiping his lips.
"Jungkook..."
He suddenly called Jungkook who just hummed as a response while putting the tissue into the small dustbin beside the table.
"Umm... I want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
Jungkook said as he sat on the bed beside Taehyung.
"What are you working on now anyway? Are you really that busy with your work?"
Jungkook looked at Taehyung. Did Taehyung already figured out about his work?
"Why do you ask?"
"Umm... I just wanted you to cook for me everyday."
"Huh?"
Jungkook dropped his jaw at Taehyung's words. He got tensed for nothing? Of course he should've thought that Taehyung was too dumb to figure out it that quick anyway.
"What? Your cooking is really good so what I mean is we all should eat delicious foods everyday to maintain our health."
Taehyung blinked his eyes, trying to act cute.
"Cook for yourself."
"You'll go to hospital if you eat what I cook. Besides, it's your punishment for not leaving any food for me in the morning."
"Didn't we agreed to let this go after I cook your lunch?"
"No. I said everyday."
"I won't cook."
"You should."
"You--"
"Ahem.."
Both of them snapped their heads when they heard a voice at the door just to see the doctor standing awkwardly at the door.
"Oh... Mr. Yang. We're really sorry. Please come inside. When did you arrived?"
Jungkook welcomed the doctor who smiled and walked inside.
"Not that long so it's fine. I called you but I just came inside since I didn't get any response and the door was open too. I thought it might be a serious case."
Mr. Yang said as he checked Taehyung's ankle carefully.
"It's not that serious. It's just a mild sprain. You'll feel better more quickly if you move less."
He said as he write down some pain killers and gave it to Jungkook.
"I'll bandage him to avoid any movement or else it'll cause more pain. Don't worry."

Taehyung checked the time as he woke up and it was already 6 pm. He fell asleep after taking the pain killers. He felt his whole body numb since he had been in bed for a long time and he already slept too much for the day. He turned to his left just to find Jungkook sleeping while sitting on a wooden stool beside the bed with his head resting on his arms on the edge of the bed.
"What is he still doing here?"
Taehyung thought as he carefully tried to get down the bed without making any noise to wake up the other but he couldn't. He almost fall on the ground if not for the strong arm that suddenly wrapped around his waist from behind.
"You are not allowed to move around."
Jungkook spoke with his sleepy voice and tried to make Taehyung lay back on the bed.
"Wait... I want to go out. I feel so numb after sleeping for a long time here."
Taehyung said as he look away from Jungkook's eyes that were staring at him only to see some boxes by the corner of his room instead. They were the boxes his mother sent for him.
"You... Did you bring them up here?"
Taehyung said turning his head.
"Well... I did... because it was making the living room stuffy with all those things."
Jungkook said scratching his neck but Taehyung smiled.
"Thank you."
"For what? For bringing this up here?"
"Yeah... and... also for cooking and... for taking care of me today."
"Don't thank me too much. You still need to arrange your things on your own. I won't help you. I'm going to my room now. I still need to arrange my room as well. Don't move around. I'll bring the dinner here."
Jungkook said and walked towards the door to go out.
"But I want to go out too. I'm getting bored here."
Taehyung crossed his arms and pouted.
"Play some games if you're bored. You can't come out."
Jungkook just ignored Taehyung's whining and went to his room.
"Urghh... I don't want to stay here."
Taehyung punched his pillow as he plopped down on the bed again helplessly and grabbed his phone when he heard his phone ringing.
"What are you doing?"
"Oh my god Jiminie, you saved me. I was too bored here."
"Bored? Why? Your handsome husband is not with you?"
"Shut up. I hurt my ankle and I can't even move around so I'm in my bed for the whole day."
"What? You hurt your ankle? How? When? You need me to come there?"
"When I was trying to bring my things to my room."
"What? You said you'll let your big bunny do it for you."
"Urgh... Don't mention him here. He don't even let me go out of my room. I've been sleeping for the whole day and I'm getting bored here alone but he's not letting me go even to living room."
"You shouldn't move around actually if you're hurt. But have you eaten anything? Do I need to come over there and cook for you?"
Taehyung could sense the worried look on his best friend's face so he smiled.
"I'm fine and I already ate too much. And no need to cook for me, he already cooked for me and brought them here in my room. He even feed me when I told him to. Haha... But he just told me to stay here until he bring my dinner here when I told him that I want to go out. Urghh... I just wanted to go out of this room at least. Oh Yeah... he even brought my things up here in my room since he felt the living room to stuffy with my things like seriously? What does he think about my things? Even his things were there too. Aish... it's too annoying if I think about him."
"Wait... From what you told just now... why does it feel as if he's spoiling you?"
Jimin said after he heard Taehyung speaking non stop about Jungkook.
"You mean, all you did was staying in your room, doing nothing while Jungkook cooks for you, brings your food to your room, feeds you, takes care of you and told you not to move around and even bring your things up in your room? Isn't that what good husbands do to spoil their wives? Where is the annoying part you were talking about here? He was totally taking care of you the whole day."
Taehyung kept silent as he think about it. It was true that what Jungkook did was taking care of him but a part of his mind still didn't want to admit it but he didn't understand that it was actually what made him annoyed.
"You won't understand him Jimin. I'll hang up now. Let's talk later."
He didn't even wait for Jimin to say anything further as he hung up the call.
He looked at the ring on his finger. He was still wearing it since he forgot to take it out after the wedding. As he looked at it more, the more he felt annoyed as it keeps reminding him about Jungkook.
He took out the ring from his finger as quickly as possible and kept it inside his drawer.
He looked up at the white ceiling of his room as he murmured himself...
"He's annoying. I hate him."
