My Gardener, My Husband

12pm

Jungkook walked up the stairs, making sure to land his feet softly, to avoid making noise.

He slowly opened the door to the bedroom, his eyes instantly landing on the bed. But soon enough the joy that had bubbling within him was gone.

Earlier he had told Taehyung that he wouldn't be back in time for dinner and that he should go ahead and eat without him. Taehyung wanted to wait up for him, but by the time it was midnight, he was yawning, so he went to sleep.

Jungkook was hoping that he would find Taehyung sleeping in his bed, he was very prepared to come and cuddle up next to him and kiss him goodnight. But was sadly disappointed when he walked in on an empty bed.

With a grunt he took his jacket off, threw  it on bed as he walked to the bathroom.

The next day, while having breakfast, Jungkook was dying to ask Taehyung why he didn't sleep in their bed, it was their bed now right. He proposed, Taehyung was clearly happy about that, so why did he sleep in the room downstairs.

"Jungkookie?" Taehyung repeated for the third time a bit louder when the other didn't respond. "Hmm?" Jungkook replied looking up from his plate, he had been zoned out for a bit.

"You will be finishing work early today right?' Taehyung asked.
"O, uhm yeah" Jungkook replied, but how did Taehyung know, maybe he had overhead him on the phone with his PA.

But they both didn't know that finishing early meant very different times to both of them. Jungkook typically works till 10pm on most days, since he still has a lot to work on, including all the dinner he has to attend with business partners. If he has meeting from abroad, he stays longer that that.

So for him, finishing early meant sometime around 7 or 8pm, but today he was hoping to at least be done by 6pm.

Taehyung on the other, as he sat smiling at the other was on a whole different clock. His husband finishing work early meant leaving the office before 1pm, so around 12pm, Jungkook would be on his way home.

Taehyung was feeling giddy about the day they were going to have, they were going to Jungkook's brother in-laws field of flowers.

Seeing how happy Taehyung looked, Jungkook decided not to ask about their sleeping arrangements. He would be back in time for dinner, so maybe they can discus it them.

 "Jungkookie you are going to be late" Taehyung said noticing how Jungkook was so relaxed even though he should be getting ready to leave.

"You want to get rid of me already?" Jungkook asked tilting his head to the side, "w-what? no, why would I-?" Taehyung replied, stuttering a bit.

This made Jungkook chuckle, "am kidding" he said. "I just don't want you to be late, cause then you might have to stay there longer" Taehyung replied with a pout.

"Hmmm, I didn't realize you missed me this much while I was gone" Jungkook replied teasingly. "Of course I don't" Taehyung protested.

"Hmm, Is that so" Jungkook said getting up from his seat and walking to Taehyung's side. "You really don't miss me when I am gone" he asked leaning closer.

Taehyung's cheeks were full on pink as he tried to avoid Jungkook's gaze, "I didn't say t-that I don't" he mumbled.

Jungkook didn't say anything but kissed him instead. "I will be back early okay" he said once pulled away. 
"Okay-" Taehyung replied.

I- I will walk you out" Taehyung said taking his chance to slip away from his husband. It was overwhelming, but in a good way and he didn't know what to do with himself. What if he said something stupid.

Jungkook smiled at how cute the other was being, and proceeded to follow him towards the door.

Taehyung was walking around his room still trying to figure out what would be the perfect outfit for an outing such as the one they were about to have.

"Hmmm"  he thought as he held out an outfit in front of a mirror.

After a number of tries, he finally found something he was pleased with, he was secretly hoping that Jungkook would like it too.

"Jungkookie-" he thought, "I wonder what he is doing now?".

Jungkook looked at his watch, it was a little bit  past eleven and at twelve pm, he was to have lunch with the founders of one of the best hotels in Korea. The Jeon cooperation was going to take over the company since the old couple was retiring.

It served Jungkook well that the old couple loved him, they had known him since he was a baby, and had been friends with his grandfather who had passed a couple of years back.

"Where are we going for lunch" Jungkook asked Jackson, his PA. "I booked an Indian restaurant in the city center" Jackson said handing Jungkook his iPad.

Jungkook was quite pleased with what he saw, he knew the Smiths loved Indian food and they would most likely love it there. He made a comment and handed the iPad back.

Once he was back in his office, he tried calling Taehyung, but he wasn't picking up. He figured he might he busy with something else around the house, so he returned to his work.

Taehyung checked his phone again, it was about ten minutes to twelve. The driver dropped him off at the company entrance. 

He took in a deep breath and assured him that he will be fine, even though he has never been to Jungkook's work place, it shouldn't be that scary right.

People turned to look at him when he walked by, this was not helping his confidence at all, but he hurried along.

He stopped at one of the front desks and asked to see Jungkook. "Do you have an appointment?" the lady asked.

Taehyung looked at her quite baffled, why would he need an appointment to see his husband. "I- could you please call him and tell him that I am looking for him" he replied, starting to feel nervous. 

"I am sorry, but you need to have a reservation. And even if I were to call him, he is about to leave the office now" the lady explained.

"I am-" Taehyung tried to speak but decided against it. He bit his lower lip, trying to think of what to do next.

"Thank you for your help" he said walking away from the desk.

He was aimlessly looking around when he suddenly spotted Jungkook. The site of him made him so happy that he felt himself relax just seeing him.

He smiled brightly as he walked in his direction. Jungkook was talking to the Smiths as they headed towards the exit when his eyes landed on Taehyung.

"Tae?" he asked in disbelief.

"Jungkookie" Taehyung said smiling happily.
