JIMIN POV

Jungkook is slumbering peacefully beside me as I stare at the pink and golden streaks of the new dawn through the vast windows.

His arm is draped loosely over my chest and I try to match his breathing in an effort to get back to sleep but it's hopeless.

I'm wide-awake, my body clock on Greenwich mean time, my mind racing.

So much has happened in the last three weeks who am I kidding, the last three months that I feel that my feet haven't touched the ground.

And now here I am, Mr Jeon park Jimin, married to the most sexy, philanthropic, absurdly wealthy mogul a man could meet.

How did this all happen so fast?

I shift onto my side to gaze at him, appraising his beauty.

I know he watches me sleep but I rarely get the opportunity to repay the compliment.

He looks so young and carefree in his sleep, his long lashes fanned against his cheek and his lips slightly parted, relaxed as he breathes deeply.

I want to kiss him, to push my tongue between his lips, run my fingers over his soft jawline. I really have to fight the urge not to touch him, not to disturb him.

Hmm I could just tease his earlobe with my teeth and suck.

Leave the poor man alone, Jimin.

I am back to work on Monday.

We have today to reacclimatize, then we're back into our routine.

It will be odd not seeing Jungkook for a whole day after spending almost every minute together for the last three weeks.

I lie back and stare at the ceiling.

One would think that spending so much time together would be suffocating but that's just not the case.

I've loved each and every minute even our fighting.

Every minute except the news of the fire at Jeon House.

My blood chills. Who could want to harm Jungkook? My mind gnaws at this mystery again.

Someone in his business? An ex?

A disgruntled employee? I have no idea and He remains tight-lipped about it all, drip feeding me the minimum information he can get away with in a bid to protect me. I sigh.

My shining white-and-dark knight always trying to protect me.

How am I going to make him open up more?

He stirs and I still not wanting to wake him but it has the opposite effect.

Damn! Two bright doe eyes gaze at me.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Go back to sleep." I try my reassuring smile.

He stretches, rubs his face, and then grins at me.

"Jet lag?" he asks.

"Is that what this is? I can't sleep."

"I have the universal panacea right here, just for you, baby."

He grins like a schoolboy, making me roll my eyes and giggle at the same time and just like that my dark thoughts are swept aside and my teeth find his earlobe.

*****

Jungkook and I cruise north on the I-5 toward the 520 bridge in the Audi R8.

We are going to have lunch at his parents, a welcome-home Sunday lunch. All the family will be there, plus Tae and Jih.
