Jimin turns around and his hands try to find Jungkook’s waist. However, he felt something like a thin stick and paper instead of his Pearl. He narrowed his eyebrows, opening his eyes and looking at the Red Rose resting next to him and an envelope too.
Jimin blinks his eyes raising himself and yawns taking the rose and blinks looking around and not finding Jungkook.
He quickly got up rushing to the washroom, thinking Jungkook might be sick, and didn’t disturb Jimin. Though Jungkook wasn’t present and there is a fresh fragrance of the shampoo lingering in the air. Jimin exhales wandering around the room and sat on the bed taking the envelope.
…Dear Hubby,…
…You brighten my day with your smile. I hope this Rose brought a smile to your face.♥…
Jimin smiled twirling the Rose and sniffing a little with a chuckle. “My smile would have brightened if you were the one instead of Rose.” Jimin smiled keeping them aside and stretched his limbs walking to the bathroom. He saw a note pasted on his toothbrush.
…Before I met you, I never knew what’s it’s like to look at someone and smile without any reason. However, I do know that being with you, I don’t need reasons to smile….
Jimin smiled already getting an image of smiley Jungkook showing his teeth. He kept the note in the drawer and brushed his teeth, taking the towel he stepped inside the shower stall.
He sighed feeling warm water gliding on his skin through hairs. He opens his eyes and he saw another note on the shampoo.
…Looking hot! So hot! Gosh, the water is burning with shyness.😋…
Jimin cackles shaking his head and keeps the note away from getting moist. Washing thoroughly and finishing the morning routine. he stepped out of the bathroom while ruffling his hair.
He saw his office suit waiting for him on the bed and a note with a yellow rose. His smile widened as he sat on the bed.
…Hmm, is the suit more dashing or my hubby? Very difficult question…Nah, 100% my hubby. The suit should feel lucky that my love is wearing it.😍…
Jimin looks around for a culprit making him smile since the moment he woke up without his presence. He smiled taking the suit and throwing the towel on the bed. However, saw a note on the pillow.
…Did you just throw the towel on the bed? You better pick it and put it for drying or else… I don’t need to do anything. My hubby is sweet as sugar, he knows that….
Jimin picks the towel and hangs it for drying. He took his suit and looks around the room for any notes. There weren’t any so he started to change.
Walking towards the kitchen hoping to see his Pearl. However, he saw the maid while he gave sheepish smile. “Uh, Pearl?”
“Oh, Kookie is in the garden.” The maid informs. “He asked me to give you this.” She gave him an envelope with a white rose.
Jimin takes them and walked to the dining table as he tore the envelope taking the chit.
…Are you looking for me?…
…As you call me Pearl, you should know true, pure pearls are not easy to find….
…You need to dive into the depth of the ocean for it….
…I really love the name, Pearl. Do you also like it when I call you hubby?…
Jimin rests his chin on the palm and keeps reading the note again.
>>Of course, I love it. Damn, it sounds even more amazing when you moan my—
Jimin coughs feeling his cheeks warming up as the images of his Pearl during those times started doing slide shows or like presentation in his mind.
…Pervert! I know what you might be thinking….
This was written on the backside of the page.
Jimin quickly ran to the garden keeping the notes and the rose on the table with his phone too as he doesn’t want anything to disturb. Jimin looks around the garden searching for the Pearl. However, he didn’t find him. He walks to the swing wishing to sit and analyze where his Pearl could be. Fortunately, he saw another note.
…I’m mailing my love….
…Did you get it?…
Jimin smiled folding the paper to keep it in his chest pocket. “Of course, my heart received it,” Jimin whispered and noticed another small piece of paper in the pocket. He takes it and keeps the current paper in his pocket.
…I fell madly for you because of a million little things that you did not even realize you were doing. You notice all the little things about me and pay attention to me in a manner that makes me feel on top of the world….
Jimin narrows his eyes at the last sentence. “Top of the world?” Jimin glanced at the rooftop. “Is he there?” He quickly marched to the stairs and ran to the rooftop while looking around.
“Pearl?” He calls as his hairs flutter with the wind. He saw a big paper heart keep pasted on the wall.
…You know that finding the right words for you is not easy, but when it comes to you, I can never seem to have an end. You are my everything since you make the words come out of my heart with ease. I can never truly say what you mean to me….
“Pearl, I appreciate your efforts. But, I want to see you.” Jimin spoke loudly.
“Hubby,” Jungkook peeks from the wall with a smile.
“Did you li—” Jungkook just stood properly and immediately enveloped in Jimin’s arms.
“You weren’t the first face I saw,” Jimin whispered breaking the hug. “Your scent didn’t linger, I didn’t feel your lips, I didn’t sense your breath.” Jimin pressed a long kiss on the forehead. “Where were you?”
“I was preparing to surprise you,” Jungkook replied, opening the box.
“Happy Birthday, Hubby.” It was a beautiful bracelet embedded with diamonds in rose gold color.
Jimin had tears in his eyes as he kept glancing at the bracelet and his Pearl. “Why did you…this was not-“
“Nope, it’s needed. Because I bought it with my first profit in the shop.” Jungkook quickly takes the bracelet and Jimin forwards his hand.
“You didn’t allow me to buy anything for you in my first income of the shop,” Jungkook spoke while linking the ends and smiled when looks even beautiful on Jimin’s wrist.
“Thank you, Pearl.” Jimin caressed the metal and smiled. “I love this.” Jimin looks back at Jungkook and pulls him closer. “Sunflower is also saying Happy birthday, Dada,” Jungkook said and Jimin immediately stoops with a wide smile. “Thank you, sunflower. Dada loves you.”
It’s 4 weeks since they got the news of a new being in their lives. Jungkook doesn’t eat much, feeling nauseous with its smell, taste. He often gets not only morning sickness on other times too. The tiredness is another level. He can fall asleep anywhere without any pillow.
“Sunflower loves Dada too.” Jimin caressed Jungkook’s stomach and stood up to kiss him. “I loved those notes,” Jimin said pointing at the paper heart fluttering with the wind.
“I feel so special now.” Jimin giggles kissing his crown and smiling brightly. Jungkook smiled, his efforts being appreciated and the smile is worth the endeavor.
…💮🌸💮…
Taehyung was ironing clothes in the dusk. The smile, more like the fake smile plastered never left his face. He made sure to smile brightly at his in-laws when they surprised him with their visit. He was trying his best to be a good son-in-law. His parents were satisfied with Taehyung’s life, thinking he is happy here. Hoseok takes care of him. End of the day, they are his parents and he loves them so he didn’t share with them, thinking it’s a personal matter between husbands and he will solve it. He just needs to be patient.
These four weeks were very silent in Taehyung’s life. There was very little interaction more like just one word Hoseok. Taehyung will ask and Hoseok will reply. That’s it.
Taehyung hissed when the hot iron touched his thumb as he didn’t realize it, being deep in thoughts. He quickly keeps the iron aside and walked to get the first aid kit. He sat on the couch and hastily ran to the kitchen and walked back with ice on the thumb and rubbing to soothe it.
Just then the door opened and Hoseok walks in while sighing to himself. His eyes fall on Taehyung pressing something on his thumb. He narrowed his eyes.
“What happened?” He asked walking towards Taehyung, having wide eyes.
“No-nothing.” Taehyung shook his head. However, Hoseok pulls Taehyung’s hand and saw a burnt straight line on the side of his thumb.
“Be careful, while doing work.” Hoseok takes the ice from Taehyung started to apply it gently and walked backward with Taehyung walking with him.
“Sit,” Hoseok spoke and sat next to him. He takes an ointment from the kit and applies it to the region while blowing softly on it.
This is among the reason which gives hope for Taehyung. Maybe this arranged marriage is something Hoseok couldn’t cope with it. Maybe, he needs more time and Taehyung will give him. Maybe Hoseok is just shy to express his care. Maybe, Hoseok doesn’t know what to do or how to show love. What if Hoseok was never in love, maybe that’s why he is like this.
“It’s done,” Hoseok said and quickly got up while removing his coat. “Thanks,” Taehyung whispered and looks around, don’t know what more to say now. Hoseok nods his head and walked to the room.
…💮🌸💮…
“Noona, not there.” Jungkook shook his head as he was talking with the maid through a video call as he was instructed to decorate the hall.
“Noona, it’s ok. I’ll do it.” Jungkook smiled when the maid turns the camera to herself.
“Kookie, I told you I will help you. You just tell me I’ll finish everything by evening.” The maid spoke carefully walking between the balloons scattered on the floor.
“Ok, noona. It’ll be better if I send you a sketch. You’ll understand better. Give me some time.”
“Ok, meanwhile I’ll finish with these glitters and decorate.”
“Thank you, Noona.” Jungkook smiled.
“Hey, no need to thank Noona. Ok, bye.” Noona smiled and ends the call.
Jungkook is working on a new bouquet in his shop. This bouquet is special for his hubby. He is trying to show his emotions through this.
His shop opening was a great surprise for Jungkook as Jimin unexpectedly brought him in front of a flower shop and as soon as he saw the name.
…Flowers 4 U…
His eyes blurred with a realization that it was his shop. The flowers were already placed as Jungkook drew the interior of the shop. Their family was present wishing him to start his shop. He choked a sob while cutting the ribbon. However, he held Jimin’s hand with him while cutting it.
The shop has two interns working now. Jimin didn’t want Jungkook to work. However, this shop which is Jungkook’s wish became Jimin’s dream. So, he fastened the work process, and thus, this structure is standing in the busy street of Seoul. It’s not too big or small. Just the right structure Jungkook wished.
He cuts the twigs and carefully places the white rose among others. His smile plastered on his lips while imagining the shocked face of his hubby. The wide smile of his hubby is worth all the effort. Jimin has always shown him the true meaning of loving someone. How to care about them. How to understand them. How to make cute faces to win his sulking mood. How to enjoy each other’s presence. How to—
The door of the shop opens as Jungkook quickly looks at his customer. It turned out to be the usual customer. The man is visiting this shop since day one. He wore a grey coat and white mask covering his face. Even though, with covering face Jungkook knows this customer with closed eyes.
“Welcome, how may I help you?” Jungkook asked while continuing his work.
“Help me by kissing me.” Jungkook blushed at the remark.
“I don’t understand what you are saying,” Jungkook whispered clearing the table.
“I’m saying let me kiss you.” The man whines and Jungkook noticed the white rose pinned on his chest pocket.
“Excuse me, I’m a married man.” Jungkook denies walking towards his cabin.
“Nolan take care of the shop. I’ll be back in a few minutes.” The intern nods his head and continued his work placing different artificial bouquets for display.
The man followed Jungkook to his cabin. “I’m also married.” The man spoke removing his mask and holding Jungkook’s hand.
“And, I love my Pearl.” He placed a soft kiss on the knuckles and smiled while continuing to kiss along his arm and over his shirt until he reached the neck and his arms hugged his Pearl.
“Hmm…” Jimin brushed his lips on his nape. “I miss you.” He licks on his neck and bites a little forging another flower on his neck.
“Le-let’s eat lunch,” Jungkook whispered tilting his head to look at his hubby. Jimin kissed his cheek nodding his head.
…💮🌸💮…
Taehyung sat on the edge of the bed with a sad smile. He knows he shouldn’t be jealous of his friend. Jungkook previously asked Taehyung’s help with his plan, as Jungkook wanted to make sure the party will be grand as Jimin had done on his birthday. He also asked if Taehyung could come with Hoseok. However, Taehyung denied the invitation, saying Hoseok is busy with work. He helped his friend through the call, trying to give ideas for the decor.
Jungkook never said anything related to Jimin and his life as a husband. From the start, Jungkook depends on Taehyung as his best friend. However, never spoke a single word about his private life.
Regardless, Taehyung could see the love in Jimin’s eyes since the pre-wedding shoot. It was clear that Jungkook is his universe and he loves him from the depth of his heart. The love is shining in his eyes and gestures. The care, the gentleness, the love, the thoughtfulness, the priority; everything is Jungkook.
He can’t help but feel jealous. Jungkook has got Jimin’s care and love from the start. He conscious is saying that he is thinking wrong here. He shouldn’t compare himself with Jungkook. However, his painful heart is yearning for love. Love from his husband too. The care just like Jimin has for Jungkook.
“Are you regretting marrying me?” Taehyung asked with a blank look. This time, there is no fake smile either.
Hoseok stopped his steps with the sudden question as he was walking towards the closet.
…ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ…
