60 Distracted

Jin woke up with a pounding headache and his throat felt as dry as a desert. He had caught a fever with the lack of food that he had been eating. He didn't eat much in the past month, but he didn't completely starve himself. He ate only ramen since it was a quick and easy meal.

Plus the overload of work at the company was causing him to stress. Adding on Minji to make his world even more depressing, he decided to de-stress by drinking himself drunk the night before.

It wasn't the best decision since it was Monday morning now and he had to go to work. He tried to get up, but his body was failing him. Just getting up for a glass of water had caused him to feel dizzy. It was as if the entire world was spinning extra fast and with every step that he took, he would feel the urge to throw up.

When he made it back to bed, after quenching his thirst by downing one full bottle of water in one go, Jin grabs his phone and sent Taehyung a text to take over for the day before knocking out cold.

Taehyung received his brother's text and immediately worries about him. He calls Jin back but Jin didn't pick up on him. Instead of listening to Jin, Taehyung took a leave for the day and rushed over to his Hyung's apartment.

When he arrives he quickly parked his car and ran inside the building. He entered in Jin's passcode and once the front door unlocks, he opens it to see that his brother's current living style had completely changed.

His apartment was a mess. Clothes were scattered everywhere and dirty dishes were left unwashed in the sink. There were plastic bottles of water left all over the place. Not to mention the number of empty Soju bottles and ramen wrappers. The house reek of trash and he took a look at the huge pile of garbage that was overflowing from the trash bin.

Taehyung scrunches his face in disgust as he took in everything. Thinking that he will deal with all this later, he made his way over to Jin's bedroom.

"Hyung.." Taehyung calls out as he opens Jin's bedroom door only to see more mess in his Hyung's room.

Jin was really losing it without Jisoo. Taehyung had been so occupied with chasing after Haeun,  he didn't check up on his Hyung and left him in this state. He thought Jin was doing okay. Taehyung thought Jin was holding up well since he was going to work daily and whenever Taehyung saw Jin at work, he looked normal.

Taehyung needed Jisoo back in his Hyung's life and he needed to do it now.

He walks over to his Hyung who was out cold and Taehyung felt Jin's head, only to feel the burning heat from the forehead. Sighing to himself, he pulls away and reaches for his phone to call up Haeun.

Haeun was still asleep in bed when she heard her phone ringing. Without opening her eyes, she felt around her bed for her phone.

"Hello?" Her sleepy voice answered Taehyung and he immediately felt himself heating up. She moans into the phone obviously from being tired and being woken up.

He had to literally slap himself to not think of Haeun being underneath him. He cleared his throat and swallowed a gulp of air before responding to her.

"Hey babe, it's me. Are you working this morning?"

Her eyes immediately fly open when she heard his deep voice on the other end of the line. Although she had just woken up, Haeun blushes upon hearing Taehyung call her 'babe.'

"Uh, n-no. I'm off for today."

She bit her lip to keep from talking and stuttering any longer.

"You're biting your lip again, aren't you?" Taehyung smirked as he could envision her nipping on her lips nervously and he just wanted to bite her, eat her, devour her.

"You're lucky you're not here with me right now babe."

"Stoooooooop..." she blushes even more when hearing what Taehyung had just said. She cutely pulls at her blanket to cover her face as if to hide herself away from Taehyung.

"You're so cute babe."

Haeun giggles into the phone feeling like a high schooler who was talking to her crush.

"Sorry for waking you up babe, but we're gonna have to start our mission now. Can you come over to Hyung's apartment? I need you to buy some medicine on your way here too. Jin Hyung is running a fever."

"Oh, sure thing. Let me jump in the shower quick and I'll be there shortly. Text me his address."

"Will do. Hurry so I can see you. I miss you babe."

Haeun internally screams her head off. Her entire body twisting and turning with happiness, but she kept her voice calm and cool.

"I miss you too. I'll see you soon."

After hanging up the phone Haeun jumps out of bed and rushes into the bathroom to shower. She soon got herself ready and was out the door in 30 mins tops.

Haeun stopped by a pharmacy to pick up some medicine for Jin. She took out her phone and saw that Taehyung had texted her Jin's address and his apartment number. She puts his address into her GPS and let it guide her towards Jin's home.

She found her way up to Jin's room and sent Taehyung a text to let him know that she had arrived. She knocks on the door and shortly after it swung open revealing her very handsome and happy boyfriend on the other side.

He pulls her into the room and shut the door, before quickly moving in to connect their lips.

God, he missed her so much. He missed every little part of Haeun and he couldn't wait to feel her lips on his again. Hearts were racing as they have their little mini makeout.

"Hmmm.." Haeun hums and lets out a soft moan. This caused Taehyung's ears to perk and he pushes himself closer into his girlfriend, pinning her into the door with no room to escape.

Taehyung forces himself to break away from the heated kiss. He wanted her and all of her, but not now. Not here at his Hyung's apartment.

"I want you so badly right now, but we'll have to wait. My Hyung needs us for now."

Haeun gave Taehyung a light peck on his lips and she pulls him close so that she could whisper into his ear.

"And when we complete our mission, I'll give you anything you want as your reward."

Taehyung stiffens upon hearing what Haeun had just said. His heart raced with excitement and a smirk lands on his lips as he pulls back from Haeun to catch her bashful lip bite. Taehyung moves in to lightly nip on her bottom lip for her as he seals the deal with a deep kiss.

"Don't forget your own words. Whatever I want, anything, you have to give it to me."

The two giggles and exchanged another quick kiss before Taehyung backs away fully from Haeun, already missing her warm body against his. But he had to put his hormones on hold. He took the bag from Haeun and quickly got the medicine and water ready for Jin. Haeun finally gets a full look at Jin's apartment.

"Whoa, what happened here?"

Taehyung sighs sadly before explaining to her that Jin was never like this. He had always been a clean freak and never let his home be this messy. Haeun nods sadly to herself thinking about how hurt Jin and Jisoo must be, away from each other. She offers to help clean up a bit and Taehyung gratefully accepts her offer.

"Thank you babe. I'll be really quick. I just want Hyung to take his medicine first and then I'll help you finish cleaning up."

"Don't worry about the mess. Take care of your brother first."

Haeun set her purse down before tying her long hair up into a ponytail. She starts cleaning up around her and Taehyung quickly enters Jin's room.

"Hyung, I bought you some medicine."

There was no response so Taehyung set the tiny tray onto Jin's night stan. He sat next to Jin and lightly shook him awake.

"Hyung. Jin Hyung. Wake up and take some fever reducer before you go back to sleep."

Jin tiredly open his eyes to see Taehyung sitting next to him. He groans before sitting up in bed.

"What are you doing here Tae? I thought I told you to take over work for the day."

"But Hyung, look at you. You're so weak and sick. How could I concentrate at work knowing you were sick? Especially since you wouldn't even pick up my calls."

"Sorry Tae. I'm fine. Just need to rest, that's all."

"Hyung, you're burning up. You got a fever. Here," Taehyung said as he reaches for the glass of water and the fever reducer pills. He hands them to Jin and he took them from Taehyung and quickly pops the pills into his mouth followed by emptying the cup of water. He hands the empty cup back to Taehyung before letting out a deep sigh.

"Are you hungry? Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Taehyung asks Jin while setting the empty cup down onto the tray.

Jin closes his eyes as he felt his tummy rumble with hunger. There was nothing that he wanted more than Minji's rice porridge, but he knew he wouldn't be able to taste it. Not ever again since she left him. He opens his eyes up and gave Taehyung a weak smile.

"I'm not hungry Tae. I just need some rest."

"Hyung..."

"Hm?"

"Do you trust me?"

Jin furrows his eyebrows at Taehyung, confused as to why Tae was suddenly asking about trust.

"Of course I trust you. Why would you even ask me that Tae?"

Taehyung had to somehow get Jin to pretend to be blind, without telling him about Minji being Jisoo. He didn't want to tell his Hyung that he needed to pretend to be blind so that Jisoo would come.

"Hyung, I've hired a caretaker to come over later. She'll be here to tend to you since you are sick."

Jin sighs out loudly before shaking his head.

"Tae, I told you. I'm fine. I would like to be alone, please."

"You said you trust me Hyung."

"I do trust you, but I don't need anyone to care for me.... especially after Minji-"

Just the mention of her name and his eyes starts to water.

"...after Minji left me. I don't want to rely on anyone anymore."

"Even if the caretaker was Minji?"

Jin instantly locked eyes with his younger brother. His heart raced with hope and excitement.

"Minji? R-really? Were you able to find her?" Jin asked.

Taehyung nods as he grins widely at his Hyung's reaction.

"But Hyung, I need you to do something for me. I need you to stay calm. I need you to not be too shock or angry when you see her."

Jin furrows his eyebrow again at Taehyung, not really quite understanding Taehyung's request.

"Do you remember when I asked if you can act well? When you see her, I need you to act for me Hyung. You'll understand what I mean the moment you see her. I'm going to help you clean up here a bit and then I'm going to pick Minji up and bring her here. So just rest for now. When you wake up, you'll see her in front of you."

Jin swallows a gulp of air as his heart beat rapidly in his chest. He still didn't quite understand what Taehyung was trying to do or say, but he just wanted Minji in front of him. So he quickly nods to answer Taehyung and he lies back down onto his pillow.

"I'll be quick, so just rest well. You'll see her soon."

Jin nods again to answer Taehyung and Taehyung started tidying up the room. After cleaning up Jin's room and making sure everything was neatly arranged, he left the room to help Haeun clean up in the kitchen.

Jin lies awake as he waits to see Minji. He was full of mixed emotions. He missed her for sure and wanted to hold her in his arms again, but he didn't know how to take in the part where she left him. There were no letters or calls or anything to let him know about her whereabouts. And how did Taehyung even find her?

He sighs as he closes his eyes and thinks to himself how, more than anything, he just wanted to see her. His eyes wanted to drink in her face.

Her eyes. How beautiful would those orbs be when he sees them. How brown and big would they be. How long would her lashes be?

Her nose. How round would the tip be? How he wanted to give her Eskimo kisses and just nuzzle into her.

Her lips. Oh, how he wanted to taste them and get drunk on her lips once more.

Her touch. How he wanted so badly just to feel her soft skin against his. To touch, to feel all of her once again.

Jin tried to fight off the drowsiness wanting to be awake when she arrived, but the medication soon took over his body and he eventually fell back asleep.

**********

"Okay! We're finally done," Taehyung stretches as he came back from taking out the trash.

Haeun was seated on the couch and resting while waiting on her boyfriend. She jumps up onto her feet and walks towards Taehyung.

"Now what Oppa? How do we get Jisoo to come here?"

"I need you to go with me. Jisoo won't come if it's just me. I need you to be Hyung's new private nurse. That way she'll believe you."

"Okay. Let's go Oppa. I don't want them to be away from each other for another second."

Haeun hastily grabs her purse and as she walks by Taehyung to get to the door, he grabs her wrist and spun her around to face him.

He kisses her deeply and she melts into the kiss. Taehyung pulls away from the kiss and grins while his forehead leans against hers.

"Thank you babe. I really appreciate you coming here and helping me get Hyung and Hyungsu-nim back together."

She returns the smile before softly replying.

"Oppa, I lov- uh.. I mean I like you. Of course, I would help you. You're my boyfriend,  aren't you?"

Taehyung grins widely and nods cutely before pecking her lips quick.

"Let's go before we get distracted again."
