“Look, Mr.Moon, he said he will visit me.” Jungkook scoffs sitting on his bed.
He crossed his arms looking at the moon through the wide-open window. He glanced at the time it was 10 pm. He rolled his eyes and hugged his dear pillow again.
“It’s already so late and he is not here.” Jungkook pouts looking at the moon and heaved a long sigh.
He walked to the window and looks at the moon in a daze while hugging the pillow.
#without you, without you,
I can’t live, can’t live, can not live,
Without you, living is not possible.#
“He didn’t keep his promise.” Jungkook stuffs his face on the pillow and falls on the bed.
“Hmm,” He feels arms wrapping his waist and a soft hum on his nape.
“Well, I kept my promise.” His husband’s whispers drop as honey in his awaiting ears as Jungkook’s eyes were red, his lips wobbled as he bites them.
“I missed you so much, hubby,” Jungkook said turning around to cup Jimin’s face. Jimin widens his eyes when tears threatened to break free in Jungkook’s eyes.
“I’m sorry, Pearl.” Jimin caressed his waist, pressing a soft kiss on his cheek. “I’m so sorry, Pearl. I was-“
“Caught up with work?” Jungkook hugs Jimin’s shoulder and closed his eyes feeling feathery touches on his jaw to the neck. Jimin nods his head, “Yeah, the new project.” Jimin explained.
“Hey, champ.” Jimin giggles as Jungkook leans against the header board and Jimin keeps his head on Jungkook’s stomach. “How are you?” Jimin hugs Jungkook’s waist. “Dada is feeling charged now.” Jungkook shook his head with a laugh and caressed Jimin’s hairs.
“I’ll reheat the food.”
“Did you take your medicine?”
They spoke concurrently and laughs together. “Did you?” Again they spoke in sync.
“Ok, I was forced because mom said, I should eat on time,” Jungkook replied with a pout while playing with Jimin’s hair.
“That’s good,” Jimin replied keeping his head back, and started talking with sunflower.
“Did you eat?” Jungkook asked again feeling Jimin avoiding it. “Yeah, I will eat later,” Jimin explained as Jungkook hums and slaps Jimin’s arm while pushing him away.
“I knew it,” Jungkook mumbles wearing his outer robe and tying the belts, and walking out of his room with Jimin trailing behind him.
“I willโ” one fierce glare from Jungkook and Jimin dare not to mutter anything else.
“Go, change.” Jungkook places the meal to reheat it. Jimin sighed turning around however, halts his steps.
“Are you upset thatโ”
“Nope, I’m rather happy. Good thing you stopped me or else I would have come back the next day.” Jungkook giggled remembering in the morning when Jungkook was deliberate to go. Jimin held his hand and pulls him into his embrace, whispering strings of apology.
“Wasn’t I the one asking you to go?” Jimin asked looking down as he is still confused whether he did the right thing to stop Jungkook.
“I understand, you were worried. You wanted me to be with mom, who will take care of me and stuff. But, aren’t you already taking care of me. You don’t even let me do anything now.” Jungkook steps closer to Jimin and raised his hand to caress Jimin’s hair.
“I’m very happy that we will stay together and go through this phase of life together.” Jungkook smiled encouraging Jimin to be positive.
“But, I don’t know how to, what to-“
“That’s why I bought a book online. We will read that, watch YouTube, take instructions from doctors, from our parents, We’ll do it.” Jungkook said nodding his head at the end as Jimin smiled and nods his head.
“I’ll try my best,” Jimin whispered hugging Jungkook and snuggling on his neck.
“That’s like a good hubby. Now, shuu and freshen up.” Jungkook playfully pushes him as Jimin smiled placing a soft kiss on his forehead.
Jimin walked upstairs while biting his lips. He knows that he is the one asking Jungkook to go. However, when he saw Jungkook stepping out of the house. It’s as if he was taking the rainbow with him. Jimin felt his heart suffocate as he breathes glancing at Jungkook pulling the trolley with him. Jimin felt his gaze blurring.
“Pearl!” Jimin ran to Jungkook and hugged him tightly as tears fill his eyes. He shook his head, embracing his Pearl tightly. “I’m sorry, please don’t go. I was wrong, I can’t live without you. Please stay back.” Jimin cups Jungkook’s teary face and kisses it all over his face.
“I’ll-I’ll apologize mom a-and…please don’t go. I’m sorry.” Jimin spoke as tears fell from his eyes and hugged Jungkook tightly.
“I shouldn’t have tho-thought that. What was I thinking? I’m sorry Pearl.” Jimin kissed his forehead multiple times.
Jungkook sighed with relief fisting Jimin’s shirt. “I thought, you are really pushing me away.”
“I would never do that. I’m sorry. Please forgive me, Pearl.” Jimin continued apologizing.
“Forgive your hubby.” Jimin placed Jungkook’s hand on his cheek. Jungkook wipes the tears from Jimin’s eyes. “You just did, what you thought is correct.” Jungkook kisses his nose. “However, next time if I say no, meaning no.” Jungkook pouts and Jimin quickly nods his head kissing the palm.
“Of course, Pearl. I was wrong. I’m sorry, soโ”
“Again if you say sorry,” Jungkook warns and turns around. “I’m going.” Jimin pulls him back while shaking his head.
“No, never. My Pearl will never go anywhere. I’ll take care of you. I will try my best not to disappoint you.” Jimin hastily spoke while his heart is still beating fast.
“You are my pride.” Jungkook clarifies pulling Jimin for a long kiss as Jimin sighs hugging Jungkook and taking him in bridal style. Jungkook smiled kissing his cheek.

“Tae?” Hoseok blinks his eyes being stunned while being back hugged by Taehyung.
Hoseok was attending a call as he was looking at the wide sky through the balcony. He was so immense in the call that he didn’t notice Taehyung tiptoeing towards him.
However, Hoseok gave a small smile and moved away from Taehyung. “I’ll…finish this call,” Hoseok spoke going inside the room.
Taehyung looks at his hand and the sky as they are staying in his apartment, which luckily Kims didn’t sell yet. He bites his lips and tucks on the sleeves to get hide his shaking palm, which happens when he is sad or scared.
>>Why did he move away. Did I cross the line? I thought, maybe we could at least hug now. Was I wrong?
Taehyung quickly shook his head to remove unwanted thoughts. He fists the shirt over his heart and inhales. His hands still shivering as he turns around to walk back. However, stops knowing Hoseok is busy.
“Maybe I should just sit here.” Taehyung mumbles sitting on the floor and hugs his knees while looking around the area. His wedding ring shining with sun rays. He does miss this place now.
He closed his eyes remember their first meeting.
Taehyung walked furiously with his parents as he got a glare once a while from his mother asking him to behave well. He rolled his eyes and followed his father inside the restaurant. He just wants this to end and fly back to Seoul.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Jung.” The Kim family bowed to them as the other party bowed back respectfully.
“This is Kim Taehyung, my son.” Mr.Kim pats his back. Taehyung gave a fake smile to them.
“Uh, my son is…oh there he is.” Mr.Jung spoke pointing at a male playing with a little girl. He was smiling at her and speaking while giving hi-five to each other.
“He loves kids.” Mrs.Jung said with a soft smile.
Taehyung was looking at the man with curious eyes. He could notice that the man is softly spoken and respectful as he bowed to the parent of the child. Taehyung felt his heart pacing up when their eyes met as the man started to walk in their direction. Taehyung quickly looks down fidgeting his fingers, nervousness overtaking the anger now.
“Hello, myself Jung Hoseok.” Hoseok bows to them and smiled at Taehyung, quickly looking away as of that smile didn’t affect him.
Taehyung opened his eyes and glanced at his still shaking hand. Since yesterday he is somehow trying to get Hoseok to at least kiss his forehead. However, the male is acting as he does not understand what Taehyung is trying to do. After the accidental kiss and the wedding kiss on his forehead. Nothing has happened.
Suddenly, Taehyung widens his eyes with realization. What if he is not alluring to tempt Hoseok to forget everything and kiss him. What if Hoseok is still shy and is not comfortable yet.
Therefore, Taehyung decided that he will wait patiently for Hoseok to get comfortable with him.
…๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฎ…
“I personally went and apologized mom,” Jimin spoke pulling Jungkook closer and pushing the hairs from his forehead.
“What did she say?” Jungkook asked feeling a tender kiss on his forehead.
“She was laughing and said, she was testing us. She wanted to know how strong is our bond, our love. She wanted to know whether either of us can stay away from each other.”
“That was very bad for her.” Jungkook pouts hugging Jimin’s waist and tangling their legs.
>>I will talk with her tomorrow. Nobody teases my hubby.
“Well, I know that I seriously can never breathe without you. You don’t know what you’re doing to me. I can’t even imagine waking up alone.” Jimin explained kissing his forehead again and sighing deeply.
“What was going inside my head. Why did I think you will be better staying with mom? I think I was drunk.”
“Drunk? Since when did orange juice become alcohol.” Jungkook raised his eyebrows and Jimin kissed the eyebrow too. Jimin chuckled remembering he was accompanying Jungkook with juice as he didn’t want him to feel odd.
“Kiss here,” Jungkook raised his foot under the duvet while glancing at Jimin.
“I remember, yesterday I was biting a hickey on the ankle.” Jimin made a thinking face as Jungkook’s face turned red. “Let me see if it’s still there.” Jimin raised to look. However, Jungkook pulls him back.
“Here, a pregnant person wants to sleep and the husband wants to play around,” Jungkook spoke narrowing his eyes.
“Oh, sleep Pearl.” Jimin smiled sheepishly and hugs Jungkook’s waist.
“Good night, sunflower,” Jimin whispered caressing the region and nuzzling their nose. Jungkook showed his teeth and closed his eyes.
“I will never repeat my mistake. I’m sorry, Pearl.” Jimin whispered and closed his eyes while hugging the two precious lives of his life.
…๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฎ…
Taehyung sat on his bed after eating the meal together with an awkward silence between them. Taehyung didn’t dare to say anything, as his mind saying him to give Hoseok space. However, Hoseok didn’t notice the raw emotions in Taehyung’s eyes.
“Can we…” Taehyung pats the bed and whispered so softly that Hoseok didn’t hear as he was putting the bedding on the floor. Taehyung stood up to help Hoseok as he kneels and straightened the sheets as their fingers touched while fixing it. Hoseok shriek away holding his hand.
Taehyung felt a pang on his heart as he quickly moves away to give him space. He looks down as his hair hides his eyes.
“Uh, you can sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep on the floor.” Taehyung said and quickly got up to take the pillow.
“No, it’s-“
“You are my guest,” Taehyung said and hides his face in the pillow to dry the unnecessary tears filling his eyes. He inhales and sat on the bedding.
“Please go and rest. You must be tired.” Taehyung gave a fake bright smile and gestures Hoseok to go.
>>After all you were so busy with attending call as this trip feels like a burden now.
“Alright.” Hoseok didn’t feel to convince him and lies on the bed.
“Also, we can go back.” Taehyung looks at the ceiling as tears glide over his cheeks freely.
“Why?” Hoseok asked looking at the same ceiling. However, having a different feeling.
Taehyung felt his throat clogging as he gulps inhaling. “Well, your work is important. I just wanted to meet my friend.” Taehyung said turning around.
>>yeah with no intention of showing Seoul to you.
“And, I know that he is happy.” Taehyung fists the pillow looking at the door. He is surprised his voice didn’t give away his actual emotions.
“Ok then,” Hoseok replied and takes his phone. “Tomorrow afternoon?” Hoseok asked already checking through available flights.
“Hmm,” Taehyung hums and shuts his eyes tightly.
“Thank you,” Taehyung spoke pulling the duvet over his head. Hoseok sat up noticing the rough voice. However, he lies back when he saw Taehyung pulling the duvet over him and getting comfortable.
…๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฎ…
“Tae…” Jungkook sniffs hugging his friend. He is very close to crying now.
Jimin and Jungkook came to see them as Jungkook was shocked by a sudden announcement from his friend that they are going back to America.
“You look like swollen potato while crying.” Taehyung jokes while hugging his friend.
“I will miss you, Tae,” Jungkook said wiping his tears. “I’m letting you go. Since you are going. Or else…” Jungkook burst into tears, hugging his friend again. Taehyung smiled caressing his back. Taehyung looks at Jimin, standing next to Hoseok.
“Take care of my precious potato.” Taehyung laughs when Jungkook slaps his arm. However, Jungkook noticed his laughter is not the usual one. Taehyung’s laugh is contagious. Right now, Jungkook is feeling his heart clenching rather than feeling to laugh along. It was hollow as if the shine is missing.
“You ok, Tae?” Jungkook asked looking at Taehyung with worried eyes. Hoseok looks at Taehyung as he didn’t understand, why Jungkook asked this.
“I’m cool. I think we are getting late.” Taehyung spoke and Jungkook didn’t look convinced. However, nods his head blaming it on his extra emotions.
“Hoseok,” Jungkook calls and looks at Hoseok keenly. “Take care of my friend. He is someone who will never share his pain. Unless you fetch it yourself.” Jungkook held Hoseok’s hand glancing at Jimin talking with Taehyung.
“Don’t break his heart, because you’ll never hear it breaking nor the pain.” Hoseok nods his head without saying anything.
“Alright, we should go now.” Taehyung smiled at them one last time and walked inside.
“Want to eat something?” Jimin asked as they walked towards their car and Jungkook glanced at his friend, the worry is not leaving his heart. He knows something is wrong. Last time Taehyung looked so happy and this happiness is different.
“Is anything bothering you?” Jimin asked when Jungkook didn’t reply to his previous question.
“I thought, Tae is feeling sad,” Jungkook explained while looking at Jimin, smiled, and opened the back door.
“He has Hoseok with him. He will take care of Taehyung.” Jimin said as Jungkook nods sitting on the seat feeling a little convinced as he knows that Taehyung loves Hoseok.
