ENCHANTED

29

Weeks went by in the blink of an eye after you joined your new job. As soon as you sent off the children to school you and Jungkook left for work within an hour. Sometimes he left first sometimes he left after you. The only time you had was the evening but Jungkook worked until late.

Your days were filled with domestic bliss along with work you were actually passionate about. Mornings were spent getting breakfast ready and packing lunches. Jungkook was always supportive he would help you out in the kitchen as well as wake up the kids and get them to shower. Once they were ready you all ate breakfast while counting minutes and seconds. Sometimes you went to drop them at the bus stop while Jungkook packed lunchboxes for both of you and sometimes you. The difference was marked by that Jungkook would sometimes slip in notes with encouraging words inside the box.

If he had some time to spare he would call you up in between the day and if you were free you would pick up and sometimes he would drop texts saying how eager he was to meet you at the end of the day. All your worries would go away when you met the kids at their taekwondo academy in the evening. They would run towards you jumping and gleaming in happiness but sometimes they were tired and gloomy. When you got back home Jungkook would mostly reach after eighty to ninety minutes. No matter how tired he was he would help the children in their studies and homework while you cooked dinner. He did the dishes while you spent some time with the children before he joined you all and then you would all retire to bed.

You both would watch a little bit of TV and then talk before sleeping for a while until your eyes started closing down and then continue your conversation in the early morning hours you got to yourselves while you sipped coffee sitting in the balcony watching the sun come up.

Your life was hectic but still you were at peace than you'd ever been before. The children started treating you as a family member more now than an outsider. You and Jungkook grew closer with each passing day.

You both hadn't said it out loud but you knew you'd found love again. You'd both become indispensable parts of each other's lives. As you grew emotionally closer deep down you also wanted to connect to him physically. Feeling such deep emotions for him it was only natural for you to also feel sexually attracted to him but the attraction was not only out of a physical desire but it was more of an emotional craving.

He would make out with you on the couch on weekend movie nights and search for answers in your eyes and you knew exactly what he was looking for. Although you weren't giving it to him you felt better to know that you were able to get him even without him having to use words. He would back off when he didn't receive a positive signal from you.

It wasn't that you didn't wanted him but a thought creeped you out that him and Dahyun had memories in this house. He might have not realised it yet but what if they would come back to him when he had crossed all barriers. You had a fear of his guilt coming back. They built their family in this house, fell in love, made children. All out of love.

The rainy season arrived after a very excruciating summer and the children spent their days at home with Jungkook's parents during the hours you both went to work. They'd started suspecting that there was something between you two but didn't verbally express it owing to the weirdness of it all. Jungkook decided to not keep it a secret and revealed your relationship to them and asked them if they could accept it? They were reluctant at first but after thinking about how the children and you had formed a unbreakable bond they blessed you both.

When you both were still unable to build intimacy you decided to take spend some time apart alone. You went to the countryside for a couple of days while Jungkook went on a office trip and added a couple of extra days in it to just rest and relax. When you both came back you'd more energy to give to each other.
