Second choice bride

New day

Jimin woke up with barely a headache. He scooted from the bed washing and dressing quickly and going to the kitchen to get something to eat he was starving, he saw the dishes Jungkook had made for him and felt guilty
He warmed some up then because of the guilt he decided to do something for the other.
He found ingredients and put them ready. Then he set the table with cutlery, orange juice and coffee then began cooking.
Jungkook woke up to a beautiful smell of cooking, he thought the maid was back. Maybe she was cooking something for Jimin? Getting ready as quickly as he could to go down and eat whatever she had made.
Going into the kitchen he found Jimin putting pancakes on a plate.
"Oh your up, um here, I hope you like pancakes, I've put syrup and strawberries there and I'll just make you coffee."
Jungkook sat down staring at the spread," pancakes are my favourite thank you."
Jimin nodded then placed a coffee in front of Jungkook.
"I um ate some of what you cooked last night it was delicious...., I'm sorry for making a fool of myself yesterday, it could of been bad if someone you know saw me in that state, it wouldn't have been good for your reputation..., er I better go...."
Jungkook grabbed Jimins hand as he went to walk past.
"Jimin wait....., I'll take you in you have no car here... and yesterday? You heard something no child should hear from a parent, I can understand why you are so defensive at times it must have been hard growing up with him he's a very selfish man, I've told him I want nothing more to do with him.
I also owe you an apology, I called you a slut which must have brought back memories please forgive me, I also demanded you sleep with me, yesterday you wanted to stay but you were drunk so I'm asking you now, would you like your own room?"
Jimin fidgeted and blushed," no point messing two rooms up is there?" He said not able too admit he liked sleeping with the other.
Jungkook hid a smile," ok then, so while we are in this marriage we should try to get along don't you think?"
"Ok deal" Jimin held out his hand which Jungkook shook then pulled him in close kissing his lips.
"Good morning and thank you for breakfast,"
"My pleasure, but actually that's all I can cook!"
They both laughed then quickly cleaned up and got in the car where Jungkook dropped Jimin off then drove to work.
Jimin got stuck in going over what he'd done yesterday as he knew his mind hadn't been totally on the job .he finished that and took on the new job only stopping for a coffee now and then.
Namjoon poked his head around the door,
"Jimin still here?"
"What?" He looked at his watch," oh I just want to sort something out then I'll go,"
"Ok, don't be too late,"
Namjoon went and Jimin was about to carry on when he thought he'd better text jungkook.
Hey, I'll be late got a lot to do, I've eaten( he lied) don't wait up....Jimin
He put the phone down..." he's lazy" rang in his head, I have to show them I'm not what my father thinks....
Jungkook read the message and frowned it was already 8pm, he made himself something and cleaned up, then sat watching tv, it got to 11.15pm and he yawned, going up to bed. He must of dozed because he woke up slightly as the bathroom door closed, jimin slipped out as quietly as he could then tiredly got into bed.
Jungkook reached out pulling Jimin to him," it's late" he mumbled.
"Mmm" Jimin literally fell asleep without another word.
Jimin was up and out before Jungkook got up and so it went on for the next two nights,finally jungkook had enough on the Friday he called Namjoon,
"Hey Kook nice to hear from you, still clubbing tomorrow?"
"What? Oh yer, look Namjoon, I know your busy but is it really necessary to make Jimin work til midnight?"
"What? Are you kidding? You mean he's working that late? He told me he'd go home after I saw he was still here at six thirty!"
"So he's choosing to work late?"
"I'll get him in, he's looking a bit pale, actually is he eating that late because he declined to come out to lunch with Tae and I ?"
"Damn it what's he up to? Don't call him in I'll come over with a little help from you we may find out what's going on, I'll pretend it's to do with our collaboration."
"Sure, I don't want him putting in all hours, it's not healthy."
So Jungkook went over going to Namjoons office first then the pair went down the hall to Jimins office. Jungkook held back as Namjoon went in.
"Hey Jimin come to lunch with me,"
"Oh er hi, no it's ok Jungkook makes me a lunch everyday I can't waste it."
"Do I?" Jungkook stepped into the room closing the door behind him.
"Oh...Kookie!"
"What's going on Jimin, your home late every night and it seems your not eating either?"
"I um er, there's lots to do I need to work."
"Jimin , I had no idea you were staying so late, I must admit I didn't even question how you were getting so much done, but I do not expect any employee to work the hours you have been doing, I checked your coming in by six every morning which means your barely sleeping, it stops now, your hours are eight thirty til five thirty."
"No I don't mind..."
"I do so it stops today,"
Jimin looked up at them both," but I have to show him I'm not what he says!"
Jungkook and Namjoon stared in consternation at each other, Jimin seemed to be panicking.
"Show who Jimin?" Jungkook said coming around and taking Jimins hands.
"My father! You heard him he said I'm lazy..., I have to work he tells everyone that, I always have to prove myself...."
Namjoon looked shocked and Jungkook finally understood what Jimin had been doing.
"Jimin stop letting that bastard affect you, your anything but lazy, he's the one whose always taken shortcuts, he wants something for nothing,I can't imagine how it was for you and your sister and why your mother didn't step in?"
"She's not really the motherly type, I think they both thought it necessary to be seen to have a happy family but didn't want the involvement, she's more how she looks coffee morning with friends and seeing a therapist twice a week."
"Wow sounds like you've got a fucked up family," Namjoon said straight forwardly .
Jimin had to laugh," yer your right, but I really can work hard...."
"No more late nights or early mornings, you look like shit, Jungkook take him home I don't want to see you til tomorrow night at the club!"
Jungkook pulled his protesting husband up and they went downstairs.
"Get in your car I'll follow you,"
Jimin did so, realising how tired he actually did feel. Once home Jungkook made him sit in the kitchen while he cooked some food. Jimin ate it all then yawned.
"Go shower and bed, I have to go back to work but will you do that?"
Jimin nodded he felt like he'd suddenly been switched off all energy gone, jungkook watched him go upstairs before he left.
Jimin quickly showered then without dressing climbed into bed sleeping deeply his mind and body finally giving in.
