Chapter 3 : The week which changed things

Both were getting more mature each day. They could feel things changing, air shifting, nothing for the bad of course. It was all getting more strongly glued together and more comfortable being around each other every day.

Life was good, took them to places. They travelled together as much as their schedules allowed and when not they were ever so grateful to whoever invented facetime.

Taehyung's work took him to Europe Middle east and of course America too.

Jungkook raised few more rounds of capital for his company and now had international offices starting with LA. He was doing VFX for some prestigious banners in Hollywood too.

It kept him longer than he liked. He always wanted to go home but he was glas to have come across an old family friend now settled in LA. When Jungkook wanted to hire a second in command for that office, in walked Choon Hee for the interview. It was during the interview
They discovered that it was the same person they went to school with till age 15. Now Choon Hee was a professional force to reckon with. Jungkook was so excited about her competencies that she seemed like a fabulous blessing in disguise.

This was a year ago and now in the 9th year of being together the much awaited Wedding could happen - when Both Jungkook and Taehyung's schedule gave them some time, major part played by Choon Hee in actually taking the reins with absolute finesse.

The one year which Jungkook spent on grooming Choon Hee was all worth it. She used to joke around a lot that she has the best job ever compared to anyone she knows and now only if Jungkook was single she would have hit Jackpot in life.

Post the wedding and blissful Honeymoon at Hawaii, Taehyung was back home as he had some shows lined up. Jungkook stayed back at LA office as he hadnt spent much time there lately. The staff bullied him into treating theme for the wedding. Jungkook wanted everyone to enjoy and he set up the invite for an evening of cocktails - open bar - at a very expensive venue. Kind of private affair.

Two hours into the party practically everyone was hammered. Jungkook had better tolerance then most of the younger lot there. From Corner of the eye he saw Choon Hee, walking towards an exit gate of the back alley. She turned and gave a look towards Jungkook, waited a couple of seconds and then turned to walk towards the exit. Something in Jungkook made him follow her. He had this feeling at the pit of the stomach that something doesn't feel right, but by now he was already at the exit door. Looking if anyone is following him, when sure that no one was, He sighed and crossed over to the dark alley closing the door behind him.

—----------------------

Jungkook couldn't be more happy ever anywhere else. He came home to a 3 year old Tannie (their now not so much of a pup) running into his arms followed by the love of his life. The welcome was even better with Taehyung jumping onto him and hanging like a koala. Jungkook was sure if there is any heaven this is it.

He wouldnt want to be anywhere else.

Calls during wee hours of the day were a commanailty for Jungkook. It was one such early morning and one such call. Taehyung didnt bat an eyelid. But immediately when his husband came back to bed, he could sense something heavy in the air.

He turned and shifted towards Jungkook. Placing his head in the the other's chest and one leg over his legs, he rubbed circles over Jungkook's stomach. He could hear the heart beat loud and rapid. "All good Bun. Anything to worry?"

Jungkook was jolted back to reality. He curled one arm over Taehyung and sighed. He knew he can never lie to Taehyung. His own heart wont allow it. He sighed deeply and said, "Hmm, Choo Hee has gotten herself into some trouble. She might require my help, but she will let me know. Thats all."
