His Secret Husband

[19] Karma

Amongst the darkness, Juni and the others couldn't see Taehyung at all. All they could do was stand around with faces full of resentment as they used all types of insults to complain about Jungkook.

From his hidden position, Taehyung watched their helpless expressions as the corners of his mouth slightly curved up.

How dare they insult his husband...if he hadn't heard, it wouldn't have mattered...but since he heard it......then......luck must not be on their side...

In the dark, Taehyung picked up his phone and made a call to Yoongi, "Help me find out which agency Aera works for."

"Yes, president!" Yoongi answered swiftly.

Before leaving the US, he definitely needed to leave something behind for Aera. After all, she had done so much to Jungkook, including tricking him into coming all the way here to be Juni's stepping stone. He thought about it, what he was about to do was after Jungkook had already won his battle against them, so it wouldn't be considered as interfering in his business, right?

Amongst the bright and colorful celebration dinner, Jungkook maintained his smile as he mixed with the guests and reporters. As he didn't want Taehyung to wait too long, he said he wasn't feeling well as an excuse and left the dinner midway, taking Seulgi and Jimin with him.

After walking out of the main entrance of the hotel, Jungkook successfully spotted Taehyung amidst the darkness. This man, who was the center of attention, always seemed to disregard his own identity and wait for him amongst various hidden corners. Seulgi and Jimin didn't want to be light bulbs so they took their own taxi back to the manor, leaving Jungkook on his own to board Taehyung's car.

Taehyung watched as Jungkook approached. Seeing his shoulders were still exposed, he quickly removed his suit jacket and placed it on him, "Didn't you think of asking Jimin to prepare a jacket for you when you left the manor this morning?"

"If I had asked Jimin to prepare one, would I still have had the chance to wear this jacket that contains your warmth?" Jungkook smiled, before continuing, "President Kim's jacket can't simply be worn by anyone."

Taehyung was completely defeated by him as he caringly held onto his icy cold hands and helped him into the car, "Let's go home..."

Upon returning to the manor, the whole place had been transformed. The bedroom was covered with fresh flowers and fragrant candles were lit throughout the entire house.

Taehyung hugged Jungkook from behind as he placed a kiss on his back, "This is to celebrate you returning with glory..."

"These past few days, you haven't had a proper night's rest. Since we finally had a day off..." – Jungkook's voice sounded a little choked up – "...why don't you have some rest? We will be flying home tomorrow. After that, you will be busy again..."

"If you feel guilty, then why don't you give me a massage later?"

Jungkook looked around as he enjoyed the fragrance. He grabbed Taehyung's arm and pushed him onto the bed. Then, with the essential oils he got from Jimin, he poured some into his hand and gently pressed against Taehyung's back.

Taehyung's body had always been worth mentioning, as it had always been built and firm, however, because of the demanding work he had been doing over the past few days, his muscles had become extra tense. Jungkook was a bit upset; ever since marrying Taehyung, it seemed he hadn't spent much time taking care of his health.
"I will reflect on this..." Jungkook reminded himself.

"Huh?" Taehyung didn't know what he wanted to reflect on, so he made a questioning sound.

"I will take good care of you..." Ever since the incident with Kris, Jungkook had learned to cherish everything he had; he had already lost too much, he wasn't going to let anyone snatch anything else from him, especially not...Taehyung.

Hearing his words, Taehyung turned around and pulled him close to his chest, "From what I see, I think you need to be taken care of more, but...when it comes to reflecting, you really need to do some reflecting. Love,...I want you."

Jungkook looked at Taehyung, his eyes were clear and sincere, "What a coincidence...me too...but, you need to slow down..."

The married couple was extremely in sync when it came to this. Jungkook didn't put on an act and Taehyung didn't play around; everything they did was purely based on their passion and love for each other.
