My Little Space Baby Bear (Taekook) Hurt, responsibility⁰³~

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

But first Taetae needs a shower.

ᴛᴀᴇᴛᴀᴇ

**blinking innocently** Taetae… don’t know how... Jimine gave me Buble bath🥺

Jungkook’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

💭 wth (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)⁠・⁠・⁠・ now I have to bath him~?? No no relax JEON

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

Ah… umm okay I’ll call the maid to help you__

But before he could finish Taehyung’s arms wrapped tightly around his waist.

ᴛᴀᴇᴛᴀᴇ

**whimpering** No! No call… someone will hurt Taetae! 🥺😭

His voice was panicked and scared.

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

**softly** Shh she won’t hurt you I promise. She’s like my grandma—very kind.

ᴛᴀᴇᴛᴀᴇ

**crying** No! No please no...

Jungkook felt the tremble in the small body clinging to him. His hand slowly went to Taehyung’s back to calm him then paused.

There was a mark.

A dark dried patch of blood soaked lightly through the back of Taehyung’s soft oversized shirt.

Jungkook’s heart dropped.

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

**gently** Taetae… pretty can I check something~?? I promise I won’t hurt you. Just want to see… okay~??

Taehyung sniffled hesitating but slowly gave a small nod.

His hands trembled as Jungkook gently lifted the back of his sweet-patterned shirt.

Jungkook’s breath hitched.

There....on Taehyung’s delicate back...was a deep painful-looking cut. Jagged. Raw. Like someone had used something sharp.

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

**shocked whisper** What the hell...

He quickly rushed to his first aid box trying to stay calm for the boy’s sake. Taehyung sat frozen teary-eyed watching Jungkook’s every move like a scared cub.

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

**kneeling beside him** Who did this to you Taetae~?? Don’t you have any family~?? Parents~??

Taehyung’s eyes welled up with tears.

ᴛᴀᴇᴛᴀᴇ

Bad… b-bad parents… hurt Taetae…

He sniffled and wiped his cheeks with his small hands his voice shaking.

Jungkook’s heart clenched at those words.He gently pulled Taehyung into a hug.

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

Okay okay… shh no more crying. I’m here now. I’ll protect you little boy. No one will hurt you again. I promise.

ᴛᴀᴇᴛᴀᴇ

**softly** Rweally…~??

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

**nodding** Really.

He carefully cleaned the wound doing his best to avoid hurting the already sensitive skin.But the moment the ointment touched the cut—

ᴛᴀᴇᴛᴀᴇ

**crying out** It hurts! Burn… Burn 🥺 😭 hurts…!

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

**patting his head** Shhh shhh… brave boy… I know it stings but you’re doing so well.

Jungkook worked quickly murmuring soft praises. He hugged Taehyung close again after bandaging the wound.

Exhausted from the pain and crying Taehyung slowly drifted off to sleep in Jungkook’s arms forget about food...

Jungkook let out a deep sigh gently laying the small boy on his stomach on the soft bed so the wound wouldn’t get pressed.

He called his old nanny—an elderly lady who had served his family for years and whom he trusted like a grandmother.

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

**quietly** Halmoni… please clean him gently… and change his clothes. He’s been hurt. He’s… special. Soft. He's like a little cub..

She nodded with a warm smile and whispered a prayer before carefully wiping Taehyung’s body and changing him into soft cotton pajamas.

As Jungkook sits silently in his office his mind was already spinning.

ᴊᴜɴɢᴋᴏᴏᴋ

**thinking** I need to know… who did this to him~?? Who hurt him this bad~?? Who is this boy really~??

But one thing was clear in his heart:No matter who Taehyung was…He is his responsibility now..
