Age gap

part 1

Peaking through the door of your and Jungkook's shared bedroom you saw him still sleeping while it was already 8 in the morning. You bite your lower lips thinking if you should call him or not. He already missed his gym time today. You know how he wakes up early but it's a weekend today and he mayhaps has no office. So you just woke up and decided to continue your work and not disturb him.

You guys anyways never actually share any moment together. It's an arranged marriage but that doesn't mean there's any hate towards each other. It's just you guys don't share the normal couple things except waking up to eachother's embrace in the morning a lot of times. It's was perhaps the only and the most couple thing you both did. Except that everything in the marriage was awkward.

It's been two months to your wedding and you both would've barely ever exchanged two words other than wishing good morning at the breakfast table and then discussing the routines of the whole day sharing what's in eachother's timetable and that's too to just catch up incase you need eachother's help at any point of the day. Anyone who would see you both would just awe at the cute looking couple.

But not everything is as always it looks. No one would say there's actually any hard difference in your relationship and marriage which was true. Both of you never had any difference in your marriage but it's also true that there needs to have some essence to have some difference. But the one and ONLY difference which was there in your relationship was the age. The age difference between both of you.

Jungkook is a 27 years old business man.

While you're a 19 year old girl in the last year of your high school.

You were just a few weeks away from your graduation and God knows why your parents decided to get you married. That's too to the son of their friend you never knew. And most importantly a guy who is literally 8 years older than you. You were at the age where you were supposed to be enjoying your days with your friends and hanging out while he was at the age where he is already doing what he should.

In a way you felt like it's just you who is sabotaging her life to build a home with a guy barely talks to you. You didn't know from where you were getting those ideal wife skills from? Was it inbuilt cuz you weren't the type to wake up early, make breakfast, press his shirt, pack his lunch and then manage you days. It just happened maybe. You were taken aback by your own self too. You changed drastically.

You gulped a lump in your throat as you pushed the door and entered into the bedroom. You directly went to open the blinds maybe he will wake up automatically. You slid the curtains aside and glanced at him when he cutely pout due to the sunrays which suddenly fell on his face. Bold of anyone to assume that the guy is a 27 years old grown ass man who can make a baby and is not a baby himself.

You chuckled pressing you lips to avoid any noise. You saw him turning his bare back towards the window as the blanket slightly slid off his upper body. It's just his habit to sleep shirtless and you never really bothered about it much. Now that you're married it's not like he will never become shirtless. He was just trying to live his regular life just with you added in it now. Nothing new.

You sighed and walked to the bed to wake him up since it was already past 8 in the morning now. Standing

just right beside the bed you saw him sleeping peacefully and so your heart didn't actually tell you to wake him up. But he can't sleep all day like this. Mostly because your in laws have invited you for a dinner party.

You gulped as you extended your hand to call him. Shaking him a bit by his biceps you addressed him.

You: D-dangshin.

(You saw your grandma calling your grandfather that since she too was a lot of years younger than him and you know how much big of an offence and disrespect it is to address elder people by just their name in Asian households. We aren't even taught to do it since childhood. So when you got to know he is 8 years older than you, you really didn't talk to him a lot and never needed to call him but after marriage it was now mandatory.)

It is absolutely disrespectful to call husband by his first name infront of the in-laws or his siblings and it's believed people get a lot of criticism if they call their partner by name infront of in-laws, elders and public places. It doesn't matter what they address each other in personal space. But in your case both personal and public space was same. You called him "Dangshin" no matter where.

On the other hand, he called you "Dangshin" infront of his parents but "Y/n" when you were in personal space. He respects his culture and nothing makes him forget where he belongs to no matter how much modernized his education and career was. Even though he once thought of calling his future wife "Yeobo" but his parents and the circumstances didn't help at all and he got stuck at "Dangshin".

You: Dangshin!

(You called him out once again shaking his body a bit more since he wasn't waking up.)

Jungkook: Ugh.....lemme sleep.

(He groaned in his husky deep morning voice when you cleared your throat.)

You: I-its 8 am.......w-wake up?!!

(You really didn't know whether to say him to wake up or ask him to.)

You: Dangshin.....we have to go to Omma Appa's later today.

(You called him again very politely.)

Jungkook: Ugh....

(he groaned again as he blinked his eyes lazily and sat up on the bed with his messy hair and the pressed mark of the pillow and blanket on his face making him look too cute and fluffy.)

You: Good morning......get dressed.... I'll set the breakfast downstairs.

(You spoke putting his t-shirt he took off last night on the couch infront of him on the bed and watched him putting it on.).

Jungkook: Good morning

(He replied still in his sleepy and deep husky voice as he brushed his hair with his fingers clearing his dried and hoarse voice to speak.)

Jungkook: I'll be going to meet a client.

(He just indirectly asked you to press one of his shirts which he'll wear. It's maybe the 2nd couple thing you had that he actually wears whatever you press and keep on the bed without any question or doubt.)

But something in him was stopping him from opening with you or show his affection. He knows you do deserve his affection as his wife but then he hated the fact that you're literally 8 years younger than him. It's not like it's very awkward. There are literally couples with even more age gap but for him it was. He always wanted his life partner should be mature in all ways. He personally preferred an elder woman.

But it's all because of his dad, he's now stuck with you. No one will ever understand what he went through.
