Third Person POV:
The dinner was quiet as usual, just them looking at each other. They are used to that kind environment when changes to their family happened, Jung Kook isn't eating, he's just looking at them.
While Seok Jin will smile out of nowhere that he will quickly hide when Mr. Jeon or Mrs. Jeon turns to look at him.
They discussed some few things.
Mostly about how Seok Jin was doing, how he is coping up with stress and exhaustion.
Seok Jin just made a joke about how he looks to be that obvious for them to point it out repeatedly.
He's not worried about his looks, he is worried what might happen to them for the next days. He is afraid to wake up everyday, he is afraid but he has to be strong.
“You look good every minute, every seconds, every glimpse that I only want to keep by myself, I will never be tired looking at you. Mom and Dad are just worried about you, but you don’t look stress at all Babe.”
Seok Jin couldn’t help but smile looking at Jung Kook when he opens the window of his car, Jung Kook then starts looking at the high and bright lights coming from the buildings they're passing through.
“There’s nothing like us, there’s nothing like you and me…~” Jung Kook mumbles as Seok Jin turn on the radio of the car, Jung Kook was smiling from ear to ear looking at Seok Jin.
“Together~” They uttered at the same time looking at each other with a smile plastered on their faces.
"Happy Birthday Babe..." Seok Jin uttered, looking at Jung Kook lovingly.
Jung Kook smiles, blinking his eyes as he changed his gaze to the road and to Seok Jin's hands. “How’s work, the company? I’ve been with Dad, he arrives earlier than I expected and I got excited when he mentioned about Mom fetch you for us to have a dinner together and she made it! I thought I'm going to see you late, but no, Mom made it to bring you for our dinner as a family!”
“Dad surely talks nonstop holding my hand.” Seok Jin pursed his lips listening attentively to Jung Kook's words.
Seok Jin always adore how Jung Kook tells a story, how he express it adorably and actively.
“What Dad talks about? Did he still told you the same story how him and Mom met? And how they created a masterpiece like you?” As Jung Kook nods his head, Jung Kook slide his hands to Seok Jin’s thigh.
“Yeah, Dad has been very detailed about it.” Seok Jin smiles as he place his hand on top of Jung Kook’s own and lift it placing it into his cheeks as he tilt his head.
“I miss them, I miss you, I miss us…” Jung Kook mumbles when Seok Jin parked his car at their garage not letting go of Jung Kook’s hands.
“I felt the same way.” Seok Jin said as he watch Jung Kook walking towards their door. “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry for making you feel incomplete, for making you feel bad and for being a burden to you.”
Seok Jin’s tears fell as he felt Jung Kook’s hands resting on his waist, rocking each other’s body, humming at each other's presence, they reminisce how they were before as they look around their living room, looking at their wedding picture.
On their first year being husbands, they made everyday memorable showing and saying how much they love and valued each other.
Jung Kook always made sure Seok Jin will be showered with his love, he doesn’t want Seok Jin to feel alone for being literally alone in his life when he lost his parents, and yes, they're happy...
FLASHBACK
“Babe! Happy Birthday! How do you like it?” Jung Kook asks looking at Seok Jin lovingly, their bed was full of roses cut into heart shape. Jung Kook made it.
Seok Jin hurriedly ran towards Jung Kook making their body fell to their bed. “Alright, alright I got it, welcome and happy birthday again Babe.” Jung Kook said teasingly while caressing Seok Jin’s back, he knew that Seok Jin is moved with what he did that he couldn't say it in a words but in actions instead, and Jung Kook couldn't complain, he loves Seok Jin being clingy.
“I didn’t know a-about this, I didn’t know you have something for my birthday, Thank you.” Seok Jin says softly when Jung Kook continued hugging him while kissing his nape.
“Happy Birthday too Babe. I h-have plans to cook for us and celebrate it in our balcony but you surprised me with this n-now you got me stunned!”
Seok Jin says sobbing and pouting at the same time that made Jung Kook giggled. “You can still do that Babe, I’m hungry and even if I’m not I will still eat the food that you will make for me, for our day.”
Then they ate dinner happily, ending it with their coffee talk sitting at their balcony looking at the dark skies, talking about anything, about their plans ahead for being couple for the coming days, weeks, months and years, they then finished it, making love with each other...
They love having each other, seeing each other. For them its a must for a healthy relationship.
Communications...
Communications that they are losing now.
They made it to three years, until changes occurred onto their lives.
“Mom apologize to me when Dad needed to asks partnership from our rivals, Kim’s? How is working with them? Are they giving you a hard time?”
“Should I be bother?” Seok Jin blanked out, he just close his eyes and breathe then starts walking towards the kitchen to drink some water.
“N-No it’s fine. Kim’s son is nice and we became friends Taehyung is nice, yeah...” Seok Jin honestly said but Jung Kook followed him while knitting his brows.
“I will stay by your side starting tomorrow.”
“B-But Babe–“
“I am having a bad feeling about that son of the Kim’s, when we are seeing each other at business events, he is always eyeing you not minding about us being together then married.” Jung Kook said as he cut off Seok Jin.
“Almost everyone knew that we are married even when we are together, how can he still sticks around you like you are free? You’re not–“
“Jung Kook, I’m tired please don’t start.”
“Why are you like that? I am just stating facts, I don’t like the way he’s looking at you. And I don’t like the way how you are saying his name as your nice friend.”
“He likes you Babe and I hate it!” Seok Jin ignored Jung Kook, they are having an argument about that for the past few days and Seok Jin thought this day isn’t included because its their birthday, but he’s wrong.
“Talk to me and say something, are you getting tired of me?–“
“Jung Kook seriously? Can’t you make that assumption of yours slides? I am tired, you didn’t even greet me. Its my birthday too, you used to greet and surprise me before–“
“How can I do that now Babe? Tell me how am I supposed to do that?”
