The Pilot || MinJoon

Epilogue II- Home

This is the last smutty chapter, and it's the longest chapter in this story so far. So settle in my dears. To all of you who loves the way Jimin moves, I dedicate this to you. Here we go.

"Let me guess. You're not gonna be home tomorrow, right?" Jimin asks Namjoon quietly, the disappointment evident on his face while Facetiming with his husband, who's currently in Paris. 

It's been a year since they got married, and yet the couple's craving for each other hasn't waned. In fact, living together as husbands in their new home only intensified their love for each other, and it still tears them apart every time Namjoon has to go away for back-to-back flights. 

"I'm sorry baby," Namjoon says mournfully. "I really thought that I could come home tomorrow, but one of the other pilots got sick, and I was told that since I was already here in Paris, I could do that flight to Greece, then be back in Korea two days after that."

"So that means I'll have to wait for three more days before I see you again?" Jimin exclaims. "Joonie... I thought we talked about this? Didn't you tell them that you won't accept anymore unscheduled flights for this year?"

Sighing, Namjoon tiredly scrubs at his face and gives the CEO a miserable look. "I know baby, I know. I was so adamant about it too. Apparently, they didn't have much choice. They promised to pay me extra for the inconvenience though."

Jimin stays silent and keeps his eyes fixed on his lap, and for the umpteenth time, Namjoon wishes that he could teleport home so he could cuddle and just be with his husband. His heart drops at the expression on Jimin's face, and he knows, he just knows that his baby isn't very happy with him. Truth is, he can't blame him at all. He's barely spent time at home this month, and now, he's been away for almost 10 days on back to back flights.

Namjoon reaches out his hand to the screen, moving his fingers slowly to trace Jimin's features. "Are you mad at me?" he asks quietly. "Please talk to me, baby. I don't think I can bear it if you're mad at me."

Jimin sighs and looks up. Upon seeing the stricken look on Namjoon's face, the tightness in his chest eases up and he softens, and tears start to well up in his eyes.

"I'm not mad at you darling," Jimin says gently. "I could never be mad at you. I'm... I'm just disappointed, that's all."

The pilot bites his lip, and it's all he could do to not cry. "I feel like I'm being such a shitty husband to you."

Jimin's eyes widen and he shakes his head vehemently. "Darling, no! What are you saying? You're so good, hell, you're perfect for me. You're everything I could ever want in a husband and more. Please don't say that. I promise I'm not mad, okay? I just... I just miss you so much."

"I miss you too," says Namjoon, voice rough with emotion. "I fucking miss you so much. You know that I would do anything to do be there with you. You're all I think about when we're apart. You know that, baby."

Jimin nods and thinks back to the conversation they had over a month ago. While talking over tapas and wine, the CEO suggested that perhaps Namjoon could retire from Air Korea and help him with ARCADIUM instead. But his husband kindly refused, saying that he worked so hard to become a Captain for the airline, but he promised that he would work something out with the company so that he could stay at home for longer periods of time. 

Namjoon also pointed out that it wouldn't look good if he were suddenly to join ARCADIUM as an employee. Imagine what the board of directors and investors would say.  It was bad enough when everyone learned that Jimin refused to have a prenup drafted by their family lawyer. But the chaos died down after Jimin's father defended the couple, saying that the two are bound to stay together for a long time. And besides, Namjoon's not that kind of man.
