Jungkook rolled over in bed to look at the clock.  3:30.  He sighed.  Taeyeon was snoring, and it had woken him up.  He turned back to Taeyeon, who was having a terrible time breathing through her nose.  Jungkook just stared at her.  Despite the fact that her snores had woken him up, Jungkook had to admit that her little gasps for air and her little sniffles in an attempt to unclog her stuffed nose were also adorable.  He had to admit the blush on her cheeks was adorable too.  But it also meant she still had a fever.  Jungkook reached out and touched her forehead gently.  Oh, no.  She was burning up now.  Taeyeon blinked open her eyes just then.  She stared up at Jungkook blankly for a moment.

“You feel all right?” Jungkook asked softly.

“I’b cold…” Taeyeon shivered.

“Oh, no…c’mere.” Jungkook shifted himself closer to Taeyeon, pulling her into his arms.

“I’m sorry I got you sick…” Jungkook whispered.

“It’s all right…at least you’re better now.”

“So I can take care of you.” Jungkook replied.

Taeyeon was blushing now.  But only she knew, since her cheeks were already crimson and squished against Jungkook’s chest.

“Go back to sleep, baby.” Jungkook whispered, running his fingers through Taeyeon’s hair.

Taeyeon simply nodded in Jungkook’s chest.  It wasn’t long before she was snoring away again.  Jungkook just stared down at her.  She was so cute.  She was still sniffling, though.  He could also feel how tired and weak she was as she rested on top of him.

Jungkook let his eyes flutter shut.  He needed some rest.  So did Taeyeon.  He hoped she could stay asleep for now.  Hopefully she’d feel better in the morning.

——————–

“Jungkookie!” Taeyeon called hoarsely from their bedroom.  Then she started coughing.

Jungkook rushed back to their bedroom. “Yes?”

“I need sobething…”

Jungkook sighed.  Taeyeon wasn’t any better this morning.  And now she was coughing.

“Ok.  I’ll be right back.”

A few minutes later, Jungkook walked back through the door carrying a bowl of soup.  He set it down on the nightstand.  Then he rushed out of the room, returning a few moments later with a glass of water, a bottle of pills, a pair of chopsticks, a spoon, and a thermometer.  He sat down on the edge of the bed, facing a tired, sick Taeyeon.

“Doctor Jungkookie has brought you some things.  He wants you to eat the soup and take the medicine.  He also wants to check your temperature.”

Taeyeon smiled faintly. “Is Doctor Jungkookie going to take care of me?”

Jungkook flashed her a grin. “Yes, he is!  He’s going to take care of you until you’re all better!”

“Ok…” Taeyeon responded, still smiling softly.

Jungkook picked the thermometer up off the desk where he had placed it and turned it on.

“All right, say ‘ah.’”

“Ah…” Taeyeon repeated, opening her mouth for the thermometer.

Jungkook popped it into Taeyeon’s mouth, having to hold it up since she was too weak to hold it between her lips.  He looked up into her eyes.  She was having trouble keeping them open.

Just then, the thermometer beeped, and Jungkook pulled it from Taeyeon’s mouth.  It read 103.  He sighed and gently felt her forehead again.

“Yeon, you should eat your soup and take your medicine.”

Taeyeon looked at him through bleary eyes. “Can you feeb me…?”

Jungkook smiled softly and nodded. “I can do that.”

He set the thermometer down on the nightstand and helped Taeyeon sit up.  Then he picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a few noodles with them.  He cupped his hand under them and blew on them gently before holding them up to Taeyeon’s lips.

“Here.  Eat.”

Taeyeon opened her mouth and accepted the noodles, chewing them for a few seconds before swallowing them.  Jungkook picked up the bowl and held it up to Taeyeon’s lips.  She gulped down half the broth in one go.  Jungkook then fed her the noodles again, and the bowl was empty in only a few minutes.

“You feel any better?” Jungkook asked, placing the bowl back on the nightstand.

“Well…my stobach’s happy now…”

Jungkook smiled. “All right.  You should take your medicine now.” He opened the bottle and took out two pills before handing them to Taeyeon.

Taeyeon put the pills in her mouth and took the glass of water Jungkook was handing to her, quickly swallowing the pills.

“Can I sleeb now?”

Jungkook nodded.  He helped Taeyeon lay back down in bed. “I’m going to take this stuff to the kitchen and then I’ll be back, ok?” He ruffled her hair softly.

“Ok…” Taeyeon sniffed.

Jungkook quickly took the dishes, thermometer, and medicine back to the kitchen.  Then he headed back to their bedroom, where Taeyeon was patiently but tiredly waiting for him.

“Jungkookie…I need cubbles…I’b colb…” Taeyeon whispered.  Her eyes were still closed.

“Aw…” Jungkook mouthed.  Taeyeon seemed like she was just a little child now.  He quickly climbed into bed with her, wrapping his arm around her waist.  He pulled her tiny frame up against his strong chest.

“Are you warmer?” Jungkook whispered softly into her ear.

Taeyeon nodded. “Yes…thank you…”

“You’re welcome.  Now sleep well, my baby.”

Taeyeon let herself relax into Jungkook’s arms.  She was sound asleep again in minutes.  Jungkook buried his face in her hair and shut his eyes, letting himself enjoy the moment.  He hadn’t realized how small Taeyeon really was until now.  Jungkook was practically engulfing her in his arms.

Jungkook continued to relish the feel of Taeyeon in his arms, and before long, he was asleep too.
