The evening was spent cooking a feast for the whole family. They just requested them for dinner. However, Mrs.Jeon said she has a surprise for Jungkook and they all agreed on this small get-together.
Jimin was following a recipe online and Jungkook’s work was just tasting. Probably cut veggies, and walk around the kitchen. However, not getting near the counter. With a lot of convincing and long kisses. Jimin agreed to let Jungkook work on desserts.
Currently, they placed all the dishes on the table and the time is almost 8 when the bell rang. Jungkook smiled brightly and skips his way with worried Jimin behind him, worried he might skid with his jumping.
“Welco—Tae!” Jungkook was shocked to see his best friend standing in front of him with a sheepish smile.
“You ras—” Jungkook bites his lips noticing Park’s family is also present.
“Welcome,” He quickly bowed before Jimin could stop him. Jimin bows to the guest and smiled gesturing them to follow him. However, he notices an unknown face.
“Uhm?”
“Oh, sorry, I should introduce myself. I’m Jung Hoseok, Taehyung’s spouse.” Hoseok forwards his hand with a bright smile.
“Nice to meet you, myself Park Jimin. Jungkook’s husband.” Jimin shook his hand and gestured Hoseok to walk inside as he followed him.
Jungkook glares at his nervous friend, gulping and avoiding his eyes. “Excuse us.” Jungkook pulls Taehyung to the kitchen. Taehyung blinked his eyes with assurance when Hoseok looks at him with worry.
“Kindly tell the long story in short,” Jungkook commands while tapping his feet on the floor. “Also, for not picking my call.” Jungkook continued. “Even, for going away without informing me.” Jungkook counts with his fingers. “Furthermore—”
“Ok, ok, long story short. I was forced to marry Hoseok because my parents wanted to expand their business and their partners suggested this. Since Hoseok’s parents were looking for a life partner for their son. So, my parents thought this is a brilliant idea. Thus, we got married. However, Hoseok turned out to be a good person.” Taehyung very calmly gave the summary.
“How did you agree?” Jungkook asked leaning against the counter.
“As I said, I was forced. My parents blackmailed me with their health, their company, I need someone my life too, etc, types saying all those things to convince me.” Taehyung replied with a shrug.
“Then? I know you, Tae. You don’t fall for such words easily.” Jungkook narrowed his eyes, understanding there is plot holes.
“It’s because our first meeting was something like yours. Hoseok’s words made a soft space so, I agreed.” Taehyung replied as if its nothing however, his ears turned red.
“I see,” Jungkook nods his head. “So much in a hurry that you didn’t get time to invite me?” Jungkook asked again.
“You were on honeymoon,” Taehyung stated the fact.
“It’s ok, America is also a great place for continuing our honeymoon. Wait, don’t change the topic.” Jungkook narrowed his eyes. “So busy that you couldn’t drop a message?”
“I broke my phone with anger.”
“Then, what is this ghost?” Jungkook points at Taehyung’s phone.
“Oh, this. Hoseok bought it.” Taehyung shows the brand new phone.
“Oh…so which stage?” Jungkook wriggles his eyebrows nudging Taehyung. Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows first, later smiling shyly.
They heard a fake cough from Mrs.Park and Mrs.Jeon smiling. “How are you, dear?” Mrs.Jeon asked cupping Jungkook’s face.
“I’m fine, Mumma.” Jungkook smiled as Mrs.Jeon nods her head.
“You are not saved yet,” Jungkook warns as Taehyung raised his hands in surrender.
…💮🌸🌸…
The family sat together at the dining table while sharing their memories and smiling while enjoying the dinner.
“Jimin, you cooked so well.” Mrs.Jeon compliments.
“Thank you, I’m glad you liked it. But, how did you know?”
“Kookie was whining in the call as you didn’t allow him to cook.” Mrs.Jeon explained as Jungkook looks away chewing the food.
“Pearl is the one who made the desserts. I’m sure you’ll love it.” Jimin spoke while interlocking their fingers under the table. Everybody nodded their head and continued eating.
Jimin looks at Jungkook and nods his head. Jungkook inhales and nods back. They squeezed their hands as if encouraging themselves.
“We have something to inform,” Jimin spoke glancing at everyone.
“Got a new project?”
“Probably more profit this year?”
“Was the project a success?”
Jimin narrowed his eyes with their guessing. Jungkook looks down getting more nervous and feeling down. His grip on Jimin’s hand loosens. However, Jimin held his hand tightly.
“I think I said, we have something to inform not just I which implies the news includes both I and my husband,” Jimin explains clearly while Jungkook looks at Jimin with wide eyes.
Jimin is not someone who looses his cool and how perfectly he explained their guessing is wrong without offending their parents or being rude.
“Pearl,” Jimin whispered looking at Jungkook.
“We are going to be parents.” Jungkook declares while looking at Jimin with tears-filled eyes.
His eyes sparkling with adoration and high respect for Jimin and love always shining in his eyes. He knows there is nothing to be sad or upset about. But, his emotions are at their max now. Every emotion will flood in each mood.
“Oh my!” The chorus exclaims and suddenly gets hugged by Mrs.Jeon and Mrs.Park. Jungkook smiled through tears.
“Bro, I’m going to be an uncle!” Taehyung gasps dramatically as Hoseok chuckled finding Taehyung cute.
“Well, I will be too,” Hoseok replied who was sitting next to Taehyung.
“Congratulations!” They toasted with Jungkook drinking orange juice and others whiskey. However, Jimin drank juice with him.
“I told you right?” Mrs.Jeon asked Mrs.Park with I knew it looks.
“What exactly?” Taehyung asked while blinking his eyes with confusion.
“That Kookie is expecting. The day you guys visited us with gifts. I noticed that you didn’t touch kimbap. Although you loved the kimbap I cooked. I thought, maybe no mood. Then I noticed another thing that you were crying while thinking about Taehyung.”
“You worried him, you know that?” Mrs.Jeon slaps Taehyung’s arm as she was sitting next to him. Taehyung pouts rubbing his arm.
“So, I called Mrs.Park and asked her whether I’m wrong as I had a hunch that you’ll visit them next.”
“Yes, and as soon as I saw Kookie. He was glowing like the moon is getting light from him to shine.” Mrs.Park explained. “So, I asked that to you dear,” she smiled as Jungkook nods his head in understanding.
Jimin raised his eyebrows now understanding why his Pearl was not in a great mood that day. He was getting worried about this.
“Uh, Jimin I wanted to request something.” Mrs.Jeon asked smiling softly at the to be parents.
“Yes, mom,” Jimin replied returning the smile.
“It’ll be nice if Jungkook stays with me for these days.” Mrs.Jeon asked as she wishes to take care of Jungkook thinking there’s no one to take care of him because Jimin might get busy with work.
Jimin glanced at shocked Jungkook and back to Mrs.Jeon not knowing how to reply.
…💮🌸💮…
Jungkook roughly throws his night suit inside his bag. He is very upset and it’s clearly seen through his crystal tears brimming his eyes.
Jimin walked inside the room after finishing his office work. He didn’t hope to see sulking Jungkook sitting on the bed. He understands that Jungkook is upset. But, it’s for his own good. There Mrs.Jeon will be to take care of him much better than Jimin could as he has to juggle with office work too. He might not be able to give his full attention when Jungkook might need it. Moreover, Mrs.Jeon will cook tasty meals and everything needed for a pregnant person. Jungkook doesn’t need to work or do anything.
Jimin inhales sitting in front of Jungkook with the bag in between them. Jimin gave a smile, however, Jungkook walked to his closet to take all the clothes. Jimin followed him as Jungkook was picking them.
“Uh…” Jimin’s voice was ignored as Jungkook walks back to the bed and shoved his clothes. Jimin clears his throat again sitting in front of Jungkook.
“What?” Jungkook asked and turns around wiping his tears. Jimin sat next to him as Jungkook sniffs turning away from Jimin.
Jimin smiled as he turns around and takes a tissues box from the nightstand. He kneels in front of Jungkook. He started keeping the tissues one by one next to Jungkook. After keeping a bundle, he looks back at Jungkook.
“I want to test these tissues, I wonder if their quality is good.” Jimin scratched his chin in a thinking manner. Jungkook blows his nose playfully with a tissue and throws at Jimin.
“Try using them to wipe your tears. If they turned out to be good, that will be amazing.” Jimin explained pushing the bag aside and sitting comfortably.
“What a way to calm someone from crying. How did I get you as my husband?” Jungkook spoke wiping his tears and throwing all the tissues on Jimin.
“Crying is good for eyes. They clear out any dirt present in them.” Jimin explained and nodding to himself at his philosophical thoughts. Jungkook widens his eyes in disbelief.
“You!” Jungkook picks his shirt and threw it at Jimin. “Are you saying my eyes are dirty?”
“You twisted my words, Pearl,” Jimin explained catching the shirt.
“Before, you used to say, don’t cry, my heart pains.” Jungkook takes another shirt and threw it. “Now, it doesn’t?”
“Ouch,” Jimin held his eyes and looks down. Jungkook widens his eyes and quickly held Jimin’s face with a worried gaze.
“I’m…I’m sorry, let me see,” Jungkook whispered inspecting Jimin’s right eye. Jimin had difficulty opening it. Jungkook fists his kerchief and blows on it to warm the surface and pressed it on Jimin’s eye.
“It’s ok, Pearl.” Jimin smiled hugging Jungkook’s waist as Jungkook continued the work in a loop until Jimin opens his eyes fully without any problem.
“What will you do without me?” Jungkook whispered caressing Jimin’s cheek.
“I will miss you every second,” Jimin replied resting their forehead together.
“Then, why are you sending me away?” Jungkook bites his lips to hold back his tears. “Got tired of me.”
“Never, Pearl. Don’t even bring such thoughts.” Jimin wipes the tear before it could glide over his cheek.
“It’s for your own good, Pearl. Also, for our baby. I’ll visit you every night.” Jimin explained kissing his cheek.
“Every night?” Jungkook asked and Jimin nods his head.
“Why don’t we ask mom to stay here itself?” Jungkook suggested thinking it’s better this way.
“It will not be good, Pearl. It’s like separating mom from dad as I know dad will not stay here for all nine months.” Jimin replied caressing his waist tenderly and pulling him closer.
“Why don’t you come with me?” Jungkook asked with a happy smile thinking let it be here or there. His is home is where his hubby stays.
“I’ll visit every night, Pearl. I have my workload here and I can’t shift it to Jeon’s home now. Also, mom might get more work because of me. Also, you stayed there all your life. You’ll be fine there, Pearl.” Jimin explained calmly as Jungkook nods his head in understanding.
“Promise me, you’ll visit me every day.” Jungkook commands and Jimin smiled.
“Not day because it’ll be night by the time I’ll finish my work.” Jungkook rolled his eyes at the unwanted correction.
“Ok, every night.” Jungkook showed his little finger.
“I promise,” Jimin replied interlocking their fingers.
“Let’s seal the promise,” Jimin whispered pulling Jungkook for a long passionate kiss and turning around while lying Jungkook carefully on the bed.
He breaks the kiss and moves away to zip the bag and push the trolley away from them, the remaining clothes to be packed are kept on the couch. He removed his shirt and hovers over the waiting Jungkook.
“I love you, Pearl,” Jimin whispers removing Jungkook’s shirt.
“I love you most, hubby.” The soft reply later turned to moans while biting his lips.
The night was spent with a passionate embrace, leaving traces of their love on each other’s skin. The fragrance of love spreads around the room. Whispers and sighs of delight fleeing from their red swollen bitten lips. Tears of pleasure elude from Jungkook’s eyes, his hands trying to grasp the sheets and pull them closer to himself as his toes curls under the duvet.
A thin layer of affection covers their skin, moistened their hairs with passion. Low groans and whimpers resonate through the walls as they spent hours worshiping each other’s presence, soul, and love. However, Jimin made sure to be very gentle to sweep Jungkook to another world, showing him stars.
