Wind howled across snowy peaks. The group laughed ahead; you trudged behind, bundled tight in cream puffer and beige scarf, tiny and defeated. Jungkook watched from the trail, phone lowered. You slipped, flopping into snow with a squeak. He moved instantly, rushing to kneel beside you. Blinking snow off lashes, you mumbled hate for the trip. He slid arms under you, lifting you like a baby. You gasped, flailing mittens against his chest. “Don’t move,” he muttered. He carried you, jaw clenched, cheeks red. You whispered you weren’t a baby; he said you were freezing. Taehyung gawked. You curled in his arms, whispering he was warm. His steps slowed, eyes softening. He held you tighter, shielding you from the storm.
