-- 2022 --

The pandemic hit. It was different for Jikook. They were always so close. They hung out during the pandemic until the members started to test positive.

They initially had to move back to their homes. Leaving jikook far from each other -- which is just one taxi ride.

-----------------------------------

"Jimin. I'm going to your surgery if you like it or not." said a groggily Jungkook, on the phone.

"You can't. I'm tested positive for Covid-19." said a fatigued Jimin. "You should sleep. You stayed up all night. I'll nap too. Stay on call?"

"Of course."

-----------------------------------

"J-jungkook? What are you doing here? I'm sick, stop." said Jimin, moving from Jungkook's touches.

Jimin just got his appendix removed and found out right before that he got Covid-19.

"I-I'm sorry but I can't just watch you suffer and not take care of you. I always take care of you." cried Jungkook. He's so sensitive when seeing his love in pain.

"No, leave. I can't get you sick."

"I would rather be sick than not take care of you when you need me."

-----------------------------------

"Jiminie, say 'ahh'." giggled Jungkook and he coos at seeing Jimin acting like a little baby.

"Is your throat better? Feeling hot?" questioned Jungkook as he checked Jimin's forehead.

Jimin looked up from his game and nodded.

"hehe.. you're so cute, Jimin-sshi.." chuckled Jungkook. He soon started to cough which he covered with his elbow.

"Jungkook, are you okay? I got you sick.. I'm sorry but go take care of yourself. I feel better now." said Jimin, feeling really guilty.

"No, I'm okay. Finish your porridge now."

-----------------------------------

"Shouldn't I come and take care of you? Why did you change your passcode?" said Jimin. Unsurprisingly, Jungkook got Covid-19 but won't accept help from Jimin. He even changed his house code so Jimin won't come in.

"No-" cough cough, "I'm fine. You get better now." said a tired, drained Jungkook.

"I am better! Can't you see that you are suffering when it's my fault! I need to help you. Don't you need me too?" said Jimin, being all sad and pouty.

Jungkook couldn't bare the guilt of making Jimin feel useless, so...he hung up the call.

-----------------------------------

Jungkook opened Instagram. He was bored.

He decided to post on his story asking for questions.

That's when he spends most of his day doing now.

It was a time killer but a fun way to connect with ARMY, especially since the captions he wrote were like 'can't go out today. sobbing 😭 '.

-----------------------------------

"I'm jealous of you. Don't touch Jimina.

"You're jealous? Keep being jealous. I will hold onto Jiminie. blalululululu."

-----------------------------------

This one story went viral on Twitter which Jimin saw one day.

Jimin thinks in awe and couldn't be mad at his Kookie no more. He decides to call him up.

"Jungkook? Could you please tell me your passcode now?"

"1013, hurry." and Jungkook immediately hung up.

This time, Jimin got worried and rushed to Jungkook in his car. When he arrived, he was shocked to see Jungkook in just his boxers on the couch.

"J-jiminie? I-it's so hot." said a very sweaty, sticky Jungkook. "Can you move around and shower?"

Jungkook smirked before saying, "I'll need some help."

-----------------------------------

"Can't believe you brought me here, just for that. I was worried!" exclaimed Jimin.

"I couldn't help it. I missed your touch. I'm also not sick anymore. Just take care of me like how you used to." said a lovesick Jungkook. He really missed his hyung.

"I'll always take care of you. So, what do you want to eat?"
