Jungkook's pov

I can't help but feel ecstatic that my husband is a true gentleman who will not touch me without my consent. I eagerly sit on the bed, anticipating Taehyung's arrival. When he enters the room a few minutes later, I notice his black t-shirt, black shorts, and wet hair. He briefly glances at me before leaving the room. Although I'm a bit confused, I remind myself that it's his house, and he has the freedom to do as he pleases.

I look around the room. it is in shades of grey and black. the bed is plain white and the walls plain grey. there is a bottle of water on the nightstand and a bedside lamp. I sigh at the dullness of the room. it doesn't feel like home. I go to the balcony and sit there looking at the moon. Taehyung enters about 15 minutes later holding a plate.

He walks up to me and hands me a plate. I look at him with a questioning expression, wondering what the plate contains. He clarifies, "You didn't eat much during the wedding. You might be hungry." 

I am touched by his concern for me and look at him with wide eyes. No one had ever shown me this much care before, except Aera. I smile, feeling grateful, and take the plate from Taehyung. He sits in front of me, watching me with interest. I take off the lid and realize that it's Jajangmyeon. I look at him with surprise and ask, "Did you make this now?" He nods in reply. I taste it and it turns out to be the most delicious dish I have ever eaten.

I finish the whole dish while he sits looking at me. we chat a bit. 

" let's play 21 questions, shall we? so we can know each other better," he suggests.

I nod and we start.

" your occupation?" he asks.

" I'm an author."

" I'm a CEO. Which genre do you write?"

" Adventure, Fantasy, sometimes. but mostly romance. I love to write about romance."

"Impressive. you know what? we should do a quick introduction of ourselves and then ask questions so we can skip the basic questions and move on to the interesting ones."

I reply, " I am Kim Jungkook, 25 years old. I am a romance novel author and I love to read. I can not cook for the love of god. I was supposed to be the heir of Jeon Corporation but I refused so my parents hated me. I've got an older sister Aera which I love more than my life. I haven't got much friends. that's all, I think."

he smiles and replies, "It's alright that you can't cook. we've got loads of house help here. and you have done right by refusing the position of CEO if that was not your passion. always follow your passion. anyways, I'll start."

" I am Kim Taehyung, the CEO of Kim Consolidated. I am 28 years old and have been the CEO for 5 years. I am usually very cold and don't care about what people think of me but I have made an exception which is you."

I turn a bright shade of red at that. he chuckles and continues, " I don't particularly have any hobbies but I like to work out and cook sometimes. My family is my parents, my hyungs and Bam."

I look at him confused, " who is Bam?"

he looks at me in shock, " shit!!! I forgot to introduce you to Bam. but he must be sleeping now."

"Who is Bam?"

" My dog."

I ask in surprise, "You have a dog?"

he nods, " a Doberman. he looks scary but is completely harmless."

" I love dogs!!" I say excitedly.

we continued chatting for a while. I learned a lot about him. After a while, he suggests that we should go to sleep. I agree since I am very sleepy. we both go into the bedroom and I sit on the bed. he grabs a pillow from the bed and keeps it on the table. he then goes to the wardrobe and brings out a mattress. he places it on the ground.

" what are you doing?" I ask.

he replies, " I am sorry I can't sleep in another room because my parents are pretty traditional and they want us to be like an actual couple so we'll get scolded if I do that. but I can sleep on the ground so that you aren't uncomfortable."

I look at him and say, "It's alright. I won't feel uncomfortable. it's a huge bed. please don't sleep on the ground. "

he sighs and nods, putting away the mattress. he then gets in the bed on the other side. there is still a lot of distance between us. I open my phone and scroll through the notifications. there are a lot of messages congratulating me on my marriage. I reply thank you to all of them. I then see a message from Jennie, my closest friend and my editor.

Jennie✨✨

Jungkook!!!! I am so sorry for troubling you
 on your wedding night but you have to call me
the minute you see this message. no matter what the time is...
again sorry!!!!

I frown looking at the message. I call Jennie and she picks it up in a second.

" hey... everything all right?? you okay, jen?"

Jennie replies, "Yeah, I'm okay. I'm so sorry for disturbing you today. I really am. But I had to tell you this..."

I ask, "It's okay. tell me. what happened?"

she starts talking, "You need to come up with at least a brief outline sketch of your next novel. at least the plot. the company is giving us a deadline of next Friday. they want to meet with you and discuss the plot. or they will rethink the contract"

I frown, " I'll give you the outline sketch by Tuesday. don't worry. you should sleep for now. you need it."

jennie hums and cuts the call after wishing me good night. I sigh and pull the blanket over my body, trying to fall asleep. after about half an hour of futile attempts at sleeping, I get up and walk to the balcony taking my notepad and pen with me.
