Work Text:
The tingling feeling in Taehyung's stomach only seemed to intensify, rising to his chest. Pins and needles pricked his skin as his palms began to get sweaty. He quickly wiped them on his shorts and let out a shaky breath. Suddenly, the light emitting from his phone seemed way too bright and noise from the traffic outside his apartment was too loud.
Taehyung put his phone down on the couch and walked towards one of the bedrooms. He wondered how he managed to walk, let alone stand, when his knees felt like they were made out of jelly. He twisted the doorknob and made his way into the room surprised to see Jungkook still wide awake. The brown haired boy was settled on his bed comfortably and had his phone clutched in his hands with his earphones plugged in. His brows knitted together as he seemed to concentrate on whatever anime he was currently obsessed with.
As soon as Taehyung stepped into the room, Jungkook's eyes landed on his hyung. He saw Taehyung's frown and immediately pressed the pause button on his video. He placed his phone to the side, took off his earphones and raised his hands up as Taehyung fell into his arms. They both lied down on the bed with Jungkook's arms wrapped tightly around the other boy, whose head was tucked into his neck. Jungkook felt the shaky breaths the older released against his neck.
Taehyung could feel the younger boy trace tiny circles against his back. He wished he could just melt into a puddle right then and there. His insides felt warm and he didn't know whether it was from the anxiety or the fingers on his skin.
Jungkook wanted to tell Taehyung that there was nothing for him to worry about. However, he knew that wasn't going to make his anxiety disappear, that's not how it worked unfortunately. So he instead he settled on doing what he did best, rubbing his back and reminding him to breathe.
Taehyung wondered how he got so lucky to have Jungkook. What would he be doing right now if he didn't have him? He didn't even want to think about it, with so many things already going on he didn't want to feel worse.
