Work Text:
When the doctors told Jimin that Taehyung will have troubles with his orientation and memory he got very worried.
They assured him that it is perfectly normal after anesthesia and it was only temporary and would pass in a few hours, but he could still not really shake off his worries.
Jungkook, however, acts like this is the best day of his life.
“Hyung, this is will be amazing!” Jungkook insists and he already has his phone out to film it all. Jimin is worrying his lip, standing in front of the door to Taehyung’s room.
It wasn’t a complicated procedure or anything. Taehyung simply had his appendix removed, but Jimin always worries. He just can’t help it.
“Hyung, trust me, it’s gonna be fine. The doctors said the surgery went well and that this is normal. Let’s enjoy this, okay? Maybe he’s ridiculous enough to upload this on youtube or something.” With that Jungkook opens the door and Jimin follows him inside.
Tae is half-awake on his bed, looking a little lost and a lost smaller than he usually does. Jimin immediately walks up to him, carefully sitting down on the bed, and reaching out to brush over his cheek.
“Taetae, can you hear me?”
Taehyung stirs, his unfocused gaze travelling around the room. He opens his mouth, trying to talk but no sound comes out and Jimin remembers that he is probably parched.
He quickly turns to the nightstand to get fill the paper cup on there with water and hands it to Taehyung.
Taehyung looks confused, staring at the cup in his hands before understanding that he can drink it and he empties it in seconds. “Oh wow,” he breathes, his voice still shaky.
“You’re in the hospital, Tae,” Jimin explains, taking the cup again and Taehyung slightly jumps as if he only noticed Jimin now. “You had your appendix removed, but everything is fine now.”
Taehyung stares intently at Jimin, his eyes traveling from head to toe and he wears an unreadable impression that makes Jimin nervous again. “Tae?”
“Huh—hey what’s cookin’ good lookin’?” Jimin stares at him in surprise and a muffled laugh comes from behind them where Jungkook is actually standing with his phone up, filming everything.
“I—uh—“
“Are you working here? Are you a nurse? You don’t look like a nurse. Wait, are you my nurse?”
“No, I’m not a nurse—“
“You’re like,” Taehyung smacks his lips, having troubles speaking yet and Jimin quickly pours him more water and gives the cup to him. Taehyung takes it, but doesn’t drink from it right away. “You’re the most beautiful man I have ever seen! Are you single?”
Jimin hides his smile and Jungkook is probably this close to imploding from all the laughter he’s trying to hold in. Jimin doesn’t answer right away and instead makes sure Taehyung drinks his water.
“I’m not single, no,” Jimin answers once Taehyung empties his second cup.
Immediately Taehyung’s whole face falls and he looks heartbroken and Jimin really tries not to laugh in his face. “Oh—of course you’re not.”
“Actually,” Jimin goes one, leaning forward and brushing Taehyung’s hair away from his forehead. “I’m with you.”
Taehyung’s mouth falls open and he gawks at Jimin as if he grew another head. “What?! Are you serious?” Jimin nods, this time unable to hide his amusement.
Taehyung’s head falls back into his pillow. He stares up at the white ceiling of the hospital room and mumbles something and it takes Jimin a while to figure out what he’s saying. Turns out he’s whispering “holy shit” on repeat.
Taehyung lifts his head again and he still looks absolutely shell shocked at this “recent” revelation. “How did I manage to do that? To actually date you? I’m the luckiest man alive!”
Jimin giggles, his hand covering his mouth and Jungkook lets out a loud snort.
“Oh my God, your laugh’s beautiful! You’re just—like—gorgeous!” Taehyung reaches out and swats Jimin’s hand away from his face only to put his hand (really awkwardly) on Jimin’s cheek. Unfortunately, Taehyung’s coordination is not all there yet, so his hand slips off again, swiping over half of Jimin’s face. “And we’re really dating? Did we kiss yet?”
“Oh yes, we did.”
“Woah.” Taehyung looks down, apparently trying to sort his thoughts. He signs for Jimin to come closer and Jimin leans in. Taehyung apparently was going to whisper, but his voice is way too loud and Jimin knows Jungkook is having a field day. “Did we have sex?”
Jimin snorts again and leans back, patting Taehyung hand. “Oh yes, we did.”
“Shit,” Taehyung groans, drawing out the word. “I hit the fucking jackpot!”
Jimin is laughing and he’s amused, but he’s also melting on the inside. Here he is, his Taehyung who doesn’t remember anything right now, but he’s still into Jimin. Even now.
“Do you know what?” Jimin asks and he reaches out to hold Taehyung’s hand. Jungkook steps closer and Taehyung turns to him, only having noticed him now.
“Who’s that?”
“That’s my brother Jungkook.” Taehyung nods, eyeing Jungkook who is grinning behind his phone, still capturing every single second. “Is he your older brother? He’s huge.”
Jimin squeezes Taehyung’s hand, maybe a little too hard, and Jungkook right out guffaws like the idiot he is.
“No,” Jimin grits out, trying to keep up his smile and not have it turn into a grimace. “He is my younger brother. By two years.”
Taehyung frowns in confusion. “But he’s really tall and you don—“
“Anyway,” Jimin interrupts, not wanting to get into that again. Jungkook thankfully doesn’t offer one of his usual comments. Probably because he is too invested into making this a cinematographic masterpiece. “Tae, we’re not just dating.”
Taehyung’s attention snaps back to him. His brows are furrowed and he’s obviously trying to figure out what Jimin is saying. Jungkook moves closer to get a good view on Taehyung’s face, but Taehyung doesn’t even notice him. (His attention span is not up to par right now.)
“What do you mean?”
“Taetae, we’re married.”
Taehyung’s eyes widen and he looks nothing short of perplexed. “Shut up.”
“For three years.”
“Do we have kids?”
“Not yet, but we have a dog.”
“A dog?! I love dogs!”
Jimin grins at his husband and Taehyung seems to go through many emotions at the same time. His expression shifts from excitement to disbelief to confusion. He opens and closes his mouth several times and apparently has problems collect his thoughts. “Could you stand up and turn around for me?”
Jimin hesitates for a second, confused by the requests, but he lets go of Taehyung’s hand and complies. He waits for a few second and only when Jungkook lets out a gurgling sound does Jimin turn around and he is shocked to find Taehyung in tears.
“Taetae? Are you okay? What’s wrong, babe?”
“It’s just,” Taehyung reaches out for Jimin again, his hands squishing his face before falling onto his lap again due do the lack of control over his limbs. “Your ass is so beautiful. I can’t even believe it. I’m so lucky.”
Jimin sighs in relief and rolls his eyes and normally he would have hit Taehyung, but he got away with it this time. “Idiot.”
“Wait!! What’s your name? I never asked, oh my God! What’s my beautiful, and amazing, and perfect husband’s name?”
Jimin blushes and he takes Taehyung’s hands in his again. “Jimin. I’m Jimin.”
Taehyung has a dreamy look in his eyes and they both smile at each other. Taehyung licks over his lips and his voice is quiet when he speaks again. “My Jimin?”
Jimin nods and he feels tingly on the inside and his heart suddenly feels too full because the way Taehyung said is name was so intimate and so full of love—god, Taehyung couldn’t even remember him, but it’s like nothing changed at all.
“You guys are gross.”
Both Jimin and Taehyung both snap out of the little moment they had and turn to Jungkook who had stopped filming.
“Anyway, I’m gonna run, this stopped being fun. But I’m totally uploading this, just so you know.”
