...jungkook jeon?
An unexpected figure, Jeon Jungkook, stood before me. Judging by the way he stood, panting, as if he'd run in a hurry, his clothes were soaking wet, to the point where it felt embarrassing to even use an umbrella.
전정국
...Brother, you should carry an umbrella.
전정국
Why aren't you checking the weather forecast? Why are you getting rained on alone?
김태형
Jeonggu...
I was so scared 8ㅁ8 As soon as I saw Jungkook, tears started to fall one by one, but Jungkook waved his hands in the air with a flustered expression, as if he didn't know how to comfort him. That didn't last long, but Jungkook hugged Taehyung and patted his back and head.
전정국
You're scared of rain, so why didn't you call?
김태형
No, my battery is dead too... But how do you know I'm afraid of rain...?
Jeongguk flinched for a moment at Taehyung's subsequent words, then naturally changed the subject to avoid the situation.
전정국
...Let's go home. You might catch a cold.
Then, holding umbrellas side by side, they walked slowly home. Jeongguk's consideration, holding Taehyung's shoulder with one hand to keep him dry, tugged him inward, evoked a truly pleasant atmosphere, no matter who saw it.
At some point, the rain stopped, and instead of Jungkook's hand, there was Jungkook's jacket hanging on Taehyung's shoulder.

By the time he finally got home, quite a bit of time had passed. It was past nine o'clock, and it was quite dark outside. Jungkook was busy checking on Taehyung, and Taehyung was nodding off, standing there, his eyelids heavy with sleep.
Eventually, Taehyung's eyes closed and he was about to fall backwards, but Jungkook reached out and supported his back, preventing him from getting hurt. Jungkook lifted Taehyung and laid him down in the bedroom. Just as Taehyung had done for him, he changed his clothes to make sure he slept comfortably.
Taehyung may have felt the pain of Jeongguk's efforts, but he fell into a deep sleep with the most comfortable expression on his face.
김태형
Wow- I slept well!
Taehyung stretched as soon as he woke up, as if he had just slept so well. The moment he tried to get up, he was surprised at his body not moving, and tried to get up again, but his body did not move.
...How did I get caught in the crossfire! I rolled my eyes, lost in my own anguish, but my thoughts were interrupted by a hand moving at my waist.
김태형
Eek...! If you're a ghost, go away! Salt, I need to sprinkle salt...!
A laugh came from behind Taehyung, as if he'd overheard his ramblings. It was none other than Jungkook, and of course, it was Jungkook who was hugging Taehyung's waist. Jungkook hadn't expected this effect, hadn't expected his reaction to be this cute.
전정국
Oh, haha, did you sleep well? You were hugging me tightly and sleeping without any sense of the world.
At Jeongguk's words, Taehyung's face turned red like a burning sweet potato.
