Slave to a King | Jinkook

Thirty-Seven

Jin was hurrying to get dressed in the bathroom after his shower. He had tried not to leave Moon alone for too long since she was born, and though Jungkook was currently with her, he still felt uneasy not being able to be with her. Even though the doctors informed him that she was doing fine, he was worried about her.

He fastened the ties on his pajama bottoms and checked himself in the mirror to ensure his clothing was not wrinkled. He pulled his hairbrush from the drawer next to the bathroom sink, satisfied with how his clothing looked, and started brushing his hair, which was out of place from him washing and towel drying it.

After putting the brush back where it belonged, he took a look around the bathroom to make sure it was as clean as it had been when he cleaned it earlier. He was irritated with Jungkook, who had used it before him and had left a few items out of place, which he had to spend time rearranging before his shower.

He took his towel and carried it to the hamper, but just as he was ready to exit the bathroom, the door opened, revealing a shirtless King.

Jin was a bit surprised to see him as he rarely came into the bathroom while he was in there in the last couple of weeks. He would have appreciated it if Jungkook had knocked before entering, as he could have been naked, but he was not going to say anything. His mind was already in a fog with Jungkook's earlier reaction to having dinner with his parents that he would rather not talk to him at the moment. Putting their daughter to bed and going to his bed was the priority.

"I am done," Jin said as he approached the door, "you can use the bathroom if you want."

Raising an eyebrow, Jungkook peered at Jin. Instead of saying anything, he closed the door behind him and reached for Jin, drawing him towards him by the waist. Leaning closer, he pressed his lips to his forehead, and his hands started to make their way beneath Jin's shirt, forcing Jin's back to arch in response to the coldness of his hands.

"Jungkook-"

"I'm not trying to have sex with you right now; I have enough children to know that your body needs to relax. But it's been a long time since I've felt you. I'm not fond of how you maintain your distance from me. I don't feel like I'm receiving a lot of affection from you, which is unusual for me. I've told you that I've stopped doing what I'm accustomed to because of our marriage choice, and I don't want to feel like I should have to search elsewhere because my future husband doesn't care about me or my needs." Jungkook says as he stares at Jin.

As he spoke again, Jin, whose eyes were cast down to the floor, didn't have much time to digest Jungkook's comments.

"I will continue to give you time to heal and recover, and also, more importantly, before we bring back sex into our relationship, going to need you to go on birth control. Make sure you tell your doctor at your next visit, so they know what to do. I've decided that I don't want any more children; my son, who will be born in a few months, will be the last member of our future family."

The only words that Jin spoke were, "Okay." Jungkook had spoken a lot, and many of his words had elicited a different kind of feeling in him, but he was doing his best not to respond. It would be best for him to go back to Moon as soon as possible.

"You don't have anything else to say to me?" Jungkook stepped back; his eyes fixed on Jin.

Jin shook his head, "no, I understood everything you said."

"Good, now I expect you will start putting more effort into taking care of me as your future husband."

"Okay." Jin responded, giving Jungkook a weak smile, "I have to go get Moon ready for bed."

"Moon is already asleep in her bed; there is nothing for you to do except stand here and talk with me about the issues I'm trying to talk to you about. This is exactly what I'm talking about; I came in here to speak with you, and I'm telling you my thoughts, but you're not paying attention to me. Our baby is important, but I am as well; can you provide the same level of care for me as you do for her?"
