You were still in Paris for the next few days before returning to Seoul. You used the time to see a little more of the City of Lights and gained a further first impression. It's a beautiful place, no doubt!

During the short vacation, you and Jimin grew to be more than married strangers that spoke like three words a day while living together. Now, you were almost like friends and you changed your impression of him.

He wasn't the rude, cold, snobby, rich guy you thought him to be. He definitely had a softer corner, but he seemed to also be suffering inside.

You had arrived in the bright morning as you started unpacking as Jimin left for work shortly after arriving. Pulling yourself up from the mess made of clothes scattered around, you tied your hair before cooking something.

Now that the both of you were back and Jimin's company was releasing new products soon, he often worked until late hours to help recover the days lost in the vacation.

Just as you finished cooking, you received a call from Eun-Hye. It had been long since you had spoken to her considering how close you were. Excitedly picking up the call, you greeted her.

"Eun-Hye-ah! It's been so long! How have you been?" you asked, breaking into a smile at her voice as you clutched the phone to your ear. "Eonnie! I've been good. How about you?" she asked.

"I've been doing well. You should have called me more often," you pouted. "You haven't called either!" she said, giggling. "Hmph! Fair enough!" You and Eun-Hye talked about all sorts of things, including your husband for a good one hour.

"You should visit us!" you exclaimed through the phone as she asked where you live. "WHAT!? YOU LIVE IN CHECKMATE RESIDENCE! IN THE PENTHOUSE!?" she shouted, destroying your eardrums.

"U-uh, it's not that big of a deal, just come and see me. I miss you so much," you pouted as she promised she would come soon. With that, the line was cut.

Walking out of the huge, spacious kitchen, you started another Kdrama shortly before receiving a message from Jimin who was stuck in another business meeting listening to crap his employees were presenting.

The text shortly said that he would be very late. You replied with 'Don't skip meals, not that I care🙄' but in reality, you wished he wouldn't skip meals because that'll just help to make him sick.

You spent the rest of the day reading and watching until you heard the main door play a tone that indicated someone had entered. His eyes were tired as he threw the bag on the couch and was about to leave when he noticed you.

"You didn't sleep yet?" he asked. "Did you have dinner?" you asked, totally ignoring his question as he shook his head as a no. "Fresh up and sit here," you pointed your finger towards the dining table as you got up.

He was done with eating when you went to pick up something from the master bedroom where Jimin slept when he walked in. "One seco-" you said as he cut you off.

"You should stay here. We're married, right? That is unless you have something against it?" he raised an eyebrow at you. "H-huh? I can s-stay here, I guess," you cursed at yourself for stuttering.

So now you were stuck with this incredibly hot guy that slept right beside you and you were helpless at that point. Finally, you fell asleep. Jimin on the other hand was tired of waking up in a soundless, empty bed and wanted some company.

─────•~❖~•─────

You woke up to the sound of an alarm ringing and were about to reach out to turn it off but something was blocking you. You then realized that the whole of Jimin's heavy, thick leg was thrown over your frame as he was snoring loudly.

You tried to get it off using your legs but failed due to the weight. So, you used your arms and pushed it off as you headed to the bathroom annoyed. Brushing your teeth, you made breakfast and repeated the whole cycle before finally collapsing onto the designer couch as soon as Jimin had left.

Not feeling like getting more sleep, you spent the rest of the day fishing chores, binging on episode after episode, and feasting on unhealthy snacks.

It was close to twelve at night when Jimin finally came back home after a hectic day full of meetings and paperwork. He was about to throw himself on the couch when he noticed your petite body laying on it.

But you weren't conscious and you fell asleep waiting for your husband. Chuckling at your uncomfortable state, Jimin bent forward and took the book from your hand as he picked you up bridal-style effortlessly.

Your eyes shot open at the realization but pretended to sleep as Jimin carried you upstairs to your now shared bedroom. He placed you on the bed in a gentle manner, careful not to wake you up.

He, obviously thought that you were asleep, proceeded to unbutton his shirt and slipped into a pair of pajamas that had short sleeves which helped you see his bicep very clearly.

Gulping, you tried to brush away all the stupid thoughts that filled your mind. 'Damn- I wanna touch them- oh shut up, Y/N! Go to sleep!'. Jimin jumped into the comforter, tired from spending the whole day at work. You then remembered that he had not eaten.

"Have you eaten?" you asked in a soft voice, that came out rather affectionately. "Hmm, don't worry and go back to sleep," he responded in a similar loving tone as you tried to fall back asleep.

You and he didn't speak much but he missed your presence every minute. After spending a bit of time with you, he had grown unexplainably fond of you and had caught himself thinking about what you were probably doing now several times already.

He would hesitate to call or message you during work and even questioned himself multiple times as to why suddenly he was so interested.

Seeing that he couldn't talk a word with you after arriving home made him slightly disappointed since he was longing for it all day. That could probably explain why he had a cryptic desire to hold you in his arms and have his chest attached to your back.

Jimin tried to fight away the inclination to wrap his arm around your waist and the sick feeling that seemed to form in his stomach, which he couldn't understand. In the end, he gave in and scooted closer to you as he hesitantly wrapped his arm around your waist.

Your eyes were shot open widely at the movement for the second time. 'WHAT THE HECK- DID HE JUST- OMG! Omg, calm down Y/N, deep breaths. He thinks I'm sleeping so act like you actually are,' you told yourself.

Jimin thought that you wouldn't notice since you are 'sleeping' or that's what he thinks. Finally satisfied with the warmth and comfort, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep with a silly smile plastered on his face.

You, on the other hand, felt your heart perform a million backflips and was beating faster than the flaps of a hummingbird. You were relieved that the lights were off or that tomato-red face of yours would be in full view.

Then again, you were definitely not complaining about him fastening his arm around you, rather you were enjoying it. You also didn't realize that a part of you was longing for his touch until he showed the small act of affection.

You thought that he probably had a rough day at work and needed a hug very badly or something like that.

You felt your eyelids getting heavier as your body finally gave in. Not to mention the extreme comfort that was circulating your body as soon as you felt him embrace you. With that, you were in dreamland.
