Sunday morning means lazy morning. The difficulty to raise yourself from bed is worse than carrying the responsibility on the shoulder. Sigh, it happens all the time to me.
Currently, Park Jimin is busy scrolling through something on his phone, lying comfortably on the bed.
Pearl has his hands on his waist glaring at his husband. He waited and waited until he snaps seeing the wide smile on Jimin’s face.
“What are you smiling at?” Jungkook asked snatching Jimin’s phone and looking at the screen. “Even I’ll see what’s so funny,” Jungkook spoke glancing at Jimin still smiling widely.
Jungkook saw the screen is of a baby, probably two months, looking so adorable while yawning and fists clenched tightly with eyes closed.
“Our sunflower will also look so cute,” Jimin whispered caressing Jungkook’s stomach. “Nose just like Appa, bunny teeth like Appa, ears like Appa, eyesโ”
“Eyes like Dada, hairs like Dada and nature, kindness, politeness, good behavior just like their Dada.” Jungkook smiled resting his palm over Jimin’s hand.
Jimin’s eyes flicker to Jungkook then at their little blessing. He still can’t believe they are going to be parents. His blood runs cold imagining a day he will hold their symbol of love for the first time. However, he knows everything will be alright as long as his Pearl is there with him.
“When will you start kicking? I want to feel that.” Jimin pouts leaning down and rests his head on Jungkook’s thigh.
“Silly, it’s just 7 weeks.” Jungkook chuckled playing with Jimin’s hairs.
“You know, Dada is planning to paint the walls for sunflower.” Jimin started talking with the sunflower as Jungkook held a soft smile enjoying the mono conversation.
“This feels like a dream, Pearl,” Jimin whispered holding Jungkook’s hand tightly.
“Having a beautiful family; you, me, and our sunflower. We will make a happy family. I will work hard to give the best life for both of you. I will try to fulfill your wishes before you even ask for it.” Jimin’s felt his eyes burning. “Thank you so much.”
“Hey, I’m the one pregnant here. I should have the mood swings.” Jungkook wipes his tears when he heard Jimin’s words. “You should take care of my mood swings here.” Jungkook chuckled through tears.
“You are always doing your best. I can’t ask for more. You are a dream, which I saw many nights sleeping alone. Often, I used to be in trance, thinking about my other half.” Jungkook held Jimin’s face. “I will think, what might you be doing now? Are you dating? If you are then enjoy it while it lasts.” Jungkook explained as Jimin shook his head.
“I didn’t date…” Jimin confessed yet again. “However, I did have a crush.” Jungkook’s mood shifted to anger.
“Yah! I was waiting for you and you! You were busy crushing on someone?” Jungkook looks around and takes the pillow. However, Jimin was fast to be far away.
“Look,” Jimin raised his hands in defense. “You shouldn’t do all this.” He dodged the pillow. “It’s not good for you.” Jungkook didn’t listen and threw another pillow at him.
“Crush, hm? Go to your crush then.” Jungkook’s lips wobble as he keeps the pillow back on the bed and lies on it, not facing Jimin.
Jimin slaps his forehead. He moves closer to the sleeping male. “Hmm, My Pearl,” Jimin whispered hugging Jungkook tightly.
“Go hug your crush.” Jungkook pushes the hands away and sniffs wiping his tears.
“Pearl, the crush got crushed by your love,” Jimin mutters, keeping his chin on Jungkook’s head. “It’s very old now. I was probably in middle school.” Jimin explained with a chuckle feeling little pinches on his arms as it turns to be fruitless to push his arms.
“I don’t even remember the face now.” Jimin pressed a tender kiss on his ear. “If I ever see him. Probably I won’t notice him.” Jimin spoke truthfully. “Because all my attention will be on my Pearl.” Jungkook’s ears turned ruddy.
“Having a sexy, caring, lovely, blushing, cute, precious, rare Pearl. Why would I look at someone else?” Jimin peppers kiss on his face, trying to assure him that Pearl is the owner of his heart.
“However, I will gouge others’ eyes if they linger on you for more than 10 seconds, having weird thoughts,” Jimin spoke with determination.ย
“I need to go,” Jungkook spoke stepping up and fixing his shirt. Jimin was confused first.
“Bye~” Jungkook giggles walking away.
“Hey, What will I do alone.” Jimin quickly followed downstairs knowing Jungkook is going to the flower shop.
“Eat and sleep,” Jungkook spoke with a shrug, taking his shoe from the deck up turrano. He keeps the shoes on the floor and sat on the deck, ducks down to take one.
“Let me,” Jimin spoke as Jungkook sat back and Jimin held his foot, helping him wear the shoe and tie the shoelaces.
Jungkook looks at Jimin even though he threw so much anger sometimes. He has been so patient with him. Never spoke anything to hurt him. In turn, Jungkook has said many times. However, you should curse the mood swings for this.
“Done.” Jimin smiled as Jungkook hums moving aside. However, Jimin held his feet together. “Wait for me.” He whispered taking his shoes out.
“Should I change?” Jimin asked looking at his white tee. Jungkook widens his eyes. What else he is planning to wear on Sunday? A sexy suit?
“This is good,” Jungkook whispered looking away as he tried to show that he is still upset with Jimin for the silly reason.
“You think?” Jimin asked pulling the collar and looking at it.
“You doubt?” Jungkook asked with narrowed eyes as Jimin shook his head.
“Let’s go,” Jungkook said standing up with crossed arms as Jimin quickly wore his shoes and followed Jungkook.
The shop is within walkable distance so the car is not needed. Moreover, walking is good for Jungkook. Therefore, they walked next to each other.
Jimin sneaking to hold his hand. Jungkook played along as if he didn’t notice the movements around him. Jimin quickly held his hand and entangles their fingers so Jungkook won’t be able to resist. Jungkook acts to pull his hands then later tightens the grip.
They walked down the streets and another shop owner is Jungkook’s neighbor. They have become good friends. It’s a pastry shop and the cakes are very popular that almost instantly everything will be sold out.
With time Jungkook had made good friends with everyone out there. They often give gifts, such as fruits, cakes, cookies, to Jungkook knowing that he is pregnant. However, reluctantly Jungkook accepts them and gives them flowers from his shop.
“Good Morning, Hyung.” Nolan greets with a bow as he was decorating a bouquet.
“Good Morning,” Jungkook greets with a smile and Jimin followed behind bowing to the intern with a smile and getting a shy smile with a bow in return.
Jungkook walks to the stack of flowers, inspecting them and Jimin following him. He checks their freshness, fragrance, number of flowers in each variety. Jimin was also taking each step as Jungkook walks around the place.
“Quit following me.” Jungkook snaps keeping the clipboard on the table. Jimin stops and stood in attention.
“Uh…what should I do?” Jimin asked not understanding his contributions to making this shop better.
“Cut the thorns and leaves from the roses.” Jungkook points at the bundles of fresh roses, which was approximately 20,000.
Jimin nodded and quickly marched to the table and took the rose and blinking his eyes. He quickly asked the search engine for the method and followed the steps wearing the gloves for safety and searched for a metal-typed rose thorn stripper. He saw one lying on another table as he quickly marched to pick it up. However, someone else held it before he could.
Jimin looks at the person, quickly bowed, and ran away. Jimin didn’t understand what happened. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to his place, watching the video and carefully dethroning the rose. He smiled with satisfaction and kept this rose aside from others and took another rose, doing the same process.
Unknown to him was Jungkook keeping an eye on him. He thought Jimin won’t be able to do it. However, he forgot that his husband is very smart and quickly grasps things.

Taehyung smiled feeling fingers tangling his hair. He tilts his head glancing at Hoseok drying his hair. The crescent moon is shining with stars as the couple, one sitting on the bed and another on the carpet.
“I can do it myself,” Taehyung whispered looking at Hoseok. “Aish, let me do it.” Hoseok gave a playful glare and continued to dry his hair with the dryer. Taehyung chuckled and let Hoseok preen his hairs.
“Your hairs are fluffy,” Hoseok spoke pushing the hairs to part from the center. Taehyung looks up and Hoseok locks their eyes.
“Thanks,” Taehyung replied and closed his eyes feeling a tender kiss on his forehead.
After the communication of their thoughts. Things are going smoothly between them. Hoseok is trying his best to get Taehyung’s forgiveness. Even though, Taehyung said, he understands.
Recently, they went on a date too. It was just walking next to the beach, enjoying the wind and each other’s presence. The silence this time, didn’t feel suffocating rather a warmth from the tangling fingers.
They are still shy with each other. Especially, Taehyung hiding his face when getting a bye kiss on his forehead in the morning. Hoseok’s chuckles and warm hug from him, melting Taehyung like pudding.
Hoseok smiled caressing his cheek and pecking the nose as Taehyung scrunched it with a wide smile. “Thank you,” Hoseok whispered, eyes glinting with tears.
“Thank you for giving me another chance,” Hoseok spoke kissing his forehead again.
“It’s alright,” Taehyung replies smiling with delight.
Everything is going fine now. Hoseok has changed in a better way, making sure to prioritize Taehyung over him.
“Tomorrow can we go out?” Hoseok asked hugging Taehyung, sitting on the bed.
“Where?” Taehyung tilts his head.
“Amusement Park?” Hoseok asked with a not sure type of voice. He didn’t plan anything yet.
Taehyung nodded his head, leaning down and sitting comfortably in Hoseok’s arms. Hoseok smiled spooning the male and on the tv to watch something and cuddle.

Jimin smiled keeping the last rose on the table. He clears the table and all the mess on the floor as he carefully sweeps it, tying it in a bag.ย Jimin searched for his Pearl while removing the gloves.
He saw Jungkook standing outside as he counts the decorative flowers asked for a wedding. Their shop got this order and today is the dispatch day as tomorrow morning is the wedding.
Jimin walked to Jungkook while hiding a rose, which is the first one he dethroned. He wanted to convince his upset Pearl. He smiled widely.
“Did you finish it?” Jungkook asked and Jimin nodded his head. Jimin wanted to say. However, Jungkook calls the intern.
“Nolan go and get all the 20,000 roses. We need to send them too.” Nolan nodded his head and walked inside. Those roses can be used in the vase of each table in the venue.
Jimin widens his eyes. He didn’t know those roses were ordered. Now, he had a missing rose in his hand. He stood next to Jungkook nervously fidgeting with the rose, hiding it behind him.
“Hyung, one rose is missing,” Nolan informs having all the roses in a box.
Jungkook narrowed his eyes. “It’s ok, get another one from the shop,” Jungkook instructs looking closely at each rose for any mistake as he knows, Jimin did it for the first time.
“Actually, Hyung. We don’t have roses now.” Nolan uttered with a sigh. “All of them has been used now, for the bouquets, decoratives, and these.” He continued as a van stopped in front of their shop.
“Keep all these in the van. I’ll search.” Jungkook instructs as he turns to run in the shop. He can find another rose, It’s just one more.
“Wait, Pearl,” Jimin spoke and held Jungkook’s hand. “I…I had that.” Jimin smiled and keeps the rose in his palm. “Give this and finish your order,” Jimin whispered closing Jungkook’s fingers to hold the rose. Jimin turns around and walks inside the shop.
He sat on the chair of the cabin, waiting patiently. He just wished to give one rose to his husband without knowing that it’s his business and each rose counts here. He sighed deeply, pushing his hair from the forehead with closed eyes.
When he opened his eyes, saw a rose in front of him. He widens his eyes looking back at smiling Jungkook. “Hmm, rose for me?” Jungkook asked twirling the rose between his fingers.
“But, the order?” Jimin asked with confusion. “Did you forget, we have a garden?” Jungkook flicks his forehead. “Nolan got it from our home,” Jungkook explained keeping the rose aside and holding Jimin’s hand.
He massaged Jimin’s palm and pressed his fingers and rub to soothe the muscles. “Working on 20,000 roses is not easy,” Jungkook spoke continuing to massage his hand.
“Also, working alone. I send Nolan to help you.” Jungkook narrowed his eyes. “But, you said, I’m fine. I can manage, don’t worry.” Jungkook mimics the way Jimin spoke.
“Why didn’t you help me?” Jimin asked looking at his hand and Jungkook, leaning against the table.
“I was angry with you,” Jungkook explained taking Jimin’s left hand and massaging it.
“Now?” Jimin peeks at the eyes. “Still angry?” He asked as Jungkook shook his head.
“How can I stay angry when you do so many things to convince me.” Jungkook sniffs, getting emotional now. “How did I get so lucky.” He started crying taking Jimin off guard.
“Hey, hey, calm down.” Jimin quickly stood up enveloping Jungkook in his arms. “Hush,” Jimin pats his hair and hugs his waist. “My cute Pearl,” Jimin whispered kissing his hair and cupping his cheek with his right hand, wiping the tears.
“I can’t say no tears now, knowing it because of mood swings,” Jimin spoke getting a light pinch on his arm.
“Ouch! It hurts.” Jimin fakes a whine, rubbing his arm. Jungkook quickly looks at his arm with worried eyes. He rubs the region Jimin is holding.
“Still hurting?” Jungkook asked looking at Jimin with concern. However, he saw the mischievous smile turning to a fake pained one. Jungkook raised his eyebrows when Jimin nodded.
Jungkook thought to let this slide knowing he already tortured his hubby the whole day.
Jimin takes the rose from the table and keeps it over Jungkook’s lips. “Rose on rosy lips.” Jungkook’s cheeks turned red.
“Were you born flirt or learned it later?” Jungkook asked crossing his arms, acting as if the sentence didn’t bring butterflies in him.
“Uhm, I didn’t learn. They come out automatically when I see you.” Jimin replied tracing his lips with the rose.
“Let’s go home,” Jungkook whispered as his eyes fluttered, feeling the rose gliding from his cheek down his neck and soft kisses following the rose.
Jimin quickly held his hand and tucks the rose behind Jungkook’s ear and waiting impatiently for Jungkook to lock the shop.
