Forever Yours

30: Hard Times

× End of 2023 ×

I wake up to an empty bed, sitting up and rubbing my swollen eyes with a sigh. Jungkook enlisted yesterday with Jimin, and it was a rough day. We had to say goodbye here for obvious reasons, both of us cried. I cried more after he left. Like a lot more.

I sigh again before getting out of bed. I wash my face before heading downstairs to the kitchen to make coffee. I open the cabinet we keep the coffee in, grabbing the bag. I almost close the cabinet, missing it but I spot it and cock and eyebrow at it curiously. I pick up the piece of paper, shutting the cabinet as I read it. 'You look beautiful first thing in the morning, eyes still swollen with sleep, mindlessly making coffee.'

I laugh, choking back a sob "When did you have time to do this, asshole."

I calm myself, wiping away the few tears that fell. I take a deep breath "You're killing me Jeon."

I finish making coffee, quickly drinking my first mug, I make sure the pot is left on warm before I head upstairs to get dressed for the day. I find another note tucked in-between two pairs of my heels 'If you have a long day, go for sneakers instead. I don't want you to suffer since your favorite foot massager will be out of commission for awhile ;).'

It takes everything in me to not sit myself on the floor of the closet and bawl my eyes out for the hundredth time in the past 24 hours.

I force myself to finish getting ready before heading into the new store. We opened last month and have been surprisingly busy. It's helps that Hyuna and a few other girl group idols have visited and posted about it on their social media. I walk into my new office and startle at Moon sitting there, waiting for me "What the fuck man."

"Came to check on you." She says plainly "You look like shit."

"Oh thanks, like I didn't know that." I set my stuff down before sitting in my chair with a sigh.

"Rough first night." Moon states more than asks, her eyes carry a little bit of pity.

"Very. That asshole hid notes around the house for me to find. There was one under the coffee and inbetween my heels. I don't know when he had time to do that."

"Who knows. I'm guessing they are sweet notes."

I nod "Yeah. After finding the one shoved inbetween some of my heels I just about sat on the floor and cried." I sigh "As playful as he is and as much as he purposefully tries to annoy me just to get me to laugh, he is probably one of the most romantic men I have ever been with."

"He is really sweet and he adores you."

I laugh slightly "Yeah, he adores me so much he had at least four songs in his album about our relationship." I take a deep breath, able to feel the tears coming again "Alright, enough talk about him before I start crying again. Any other reason you are here other than to check on me?"

"Yes. Before he left Jungkook asked me to help you plan the wedding. He said you guys already picked a wedding hall so everything with that will be taken care of. But you still need to find a venue for the after party. Oh and to help you plan the honeymoon."

"Moon he literally just left. We have 18 months and probably longer to plan this." My expression is flat, as is my tone. Not really feeling the need to do this right now.

"And I know you." She sets a binder on the desk that I didn't even notice she had "You haven't done invitations, so there are options in here for that. There are venue options for the afterparty. Along with several destinations for a honeymoon, listed with all the options for the honeymoon packages for each place."
