Jungkook's POV

I had never slept so good in my life before. I woke up an hour ago but I had propped myself on my elbow and had been watching the beautiful view of my sleeping mate who was snuggled into my chest with my arm wrapped around him protectively. His addictive scent mixed with mine filled the room and I could never get enough of this moment.

He looked soft and so vulnerable making me wanting to hold him forever. And I kept wondering how I got so lucky for moon goddess to paired me with this beautiful person in my chest.

I felt my life was fulfilled. I was smiling, I was happy, I was excited, I felt alive. My mate was finally accepting me. And for the first time I was thankful to JK for marking our mate, the reason why we needed to stay close to each other, giving us the chance to talk things out.

'You are welcome!' JK spoke for the first time after that day when our mate left us in the meeting hall. He had been silent for he was extremely guilty for hurting our mate. It was in our nature to claim our mate soon after we find them and in our case our mate was even running away from us making JK desperate from the beginning to claim our mate. And he lost all his sanity when our mate was in heat. But I would never tell JK that he was not at fault because I never wanted to force our mate or hurt him that way.

'Don't think so highly of yourself.' I growled at JK. He growled back and when silent again.

I looked back down at my mate trying not to move the slightest. I wanted for him to stay longer in my arms and to heal him completely. I could already see the difference. The dark circles under his eyes were gone, his skin was glowing. He looked healthy and fresh just like how he used to before the night he turned 18th. And his lips.. I took a deep breath and controlled the urge from bruising up those lips.

As I kept watching my mate, a thought crossed my mind about how he must have felt all that time when he knew I was his mate and thinking I and Dahee was together. Now I understood why he ran away that night and why he said those things when I found him in the woods. He was running away from me not because he does not want me but because he was scared thinking I would reject him. My eyes teared up at the thought. If only he knew how I felt for him even before I knew he was my mate.

Then he stirred up. And with his eyes still close he frowned squeezing on my chest. I chuckled seeing how confused he was. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at his hand on my chest and up to my face. As soon as our eyes met, he jumped back away from me.

"Hey hey it's okay, it's just me." I said sitting up. I was shocked to see his reaction. Did he forget all that happened the day before and everything that we talked? I was starting to panic. I raised my hands trying to calm him.

"Taehyung?" I whispered trying to keep my voice low and not scare him.

"Oh!" He said scratching his head.

"Oh?" I responded. What does he meant by that?

"I am sorry, I just... nothing." He stopped himself. What was in his mind?

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. And he nodded.

"Sorry I slept trapping you like that." He said pointing at the space where he was sleeping and it made me smile.

"It's okay Taehyung, I wanted you to sleep and rest longer." I answered wanting him to be comfortable around me. Then he smiled shyly, his face slowly turning into red. He looked so adorable.

"You looked beautiful." I said slowly getting closer to him. I took his hand, his hand fitting perfectly into mine. And he looked down at our hands.

"Good Morning." I greeted.
