Law Of Love

6) Do Not Disturb

"How long are you planning on staying in bed, love? We haven't left your room since yesterday afternoon. We even skipped dinner altogether just to avoid any more conflicts with your family. And now it's morning now. You do realize that we can't stay up locked in this room forever, right? I am surprised that no one from your family has come knocking on this door till now considering how happy they were after seeing you after a long time. Now it looks like they don't even care if you starve yourself to death."

The couple had slept through the whole evening and more than half the night due to jet lag. Jungkook was the first to wake up, thanks to his grumbling stomach which was begging for food. The last they both ate was the light breakfast that they both had in the flight. And had barely eaten any lunch, again thanks to all that happened at the dining table. And they had skipped dinner altogether. And now it was the next morning and to say that Jungkook was starving would be an understatement.

"You should go and eat something, bun. You already skipped dinner because of me. And I don't want you to skip breakfast as well." Taehyung felt guilty for making Jungkook skip food just because he didn't feel like facing his family. Especially when he knows Jungkook can never tolerate hunger.

"If you think I am going to eat while you make yourself starve, then forget it. I am not going to eat anything either. Let's starve together. And better yet, let's not leave this room ever. Let this room become our tomb. Wouldn't that be romantic? People would write stories about us and make movies in the future. The story of two tragic lovers who turned their bedroom into a tomb and starved themselves to death because of their cruel family. How does that sound?" Jungkook asked, sarcastically, making Taehyung look at him with a done face.

"Do you need a snicker? Is that why you are being extra bitchy today? Because you are hungry? I told you to go and eat something instead of eating my head, didn't I?" Taehyung retorted, annoyed at his boyfriend.

"Who is being bitchy now, huh? Now, I am asking you for the last time. Are you going to stop moping around and come down with me to have breakfast? Or are you going to continue being a stubborn ass?" Taehyung glared at Jungkook when he said that and turned his back on him, huffing in anger, making Jungkook pinch the bridge of his nose in annoyance. He was hungry and angry. Not a good combination if he was honest. And Taehyung was definitely testing his patience which was already thin.

"Fine. Starve yourself to death then. See if I care. I am going down to eat. And you please continue with your hunger strike. Who knows, maybe your family will cancel this fucking marriage if you keep acting like a prepubescent teenager." Jungkook snapped and stormed out of the room in anger.

"So much for, 'I won't eat if you are not eating.' Asshole." Taehyung muttered in disbelief as he watched Jungkook's back disappear out the door.

Jungkook kept cursing Taehyung in his mind as he made his way downstairs. The whole point of staying cooped up inside the bedroom was to talk about everything and to make a plan on how to deal with this new unexpected hurdle in their path. But instead of talking, all they did was sleep. Jungkook knew there was no way in hell he would be able to think or get his mind to work when he was literally starving. And that is why he suggested they go down and eat something. But who would tell that to his stubborn ass boyfriend.

He made his way towards the dining room, mentally preparing himself to face Taehyung's family members, but was surprised to see the whole place empty. He checked the time on his phone and it said 9:30. 'Am I late or do they eat really early, like 7 or 8?' he thought. In a way he was glad that there wasn't anyone there. He really wasn't ready to meet the whole family just yet. But then again, he needs food. So, putting his discomfort and manners aside, he went in search of the kitchen which he regretted the next moment when he came face to face with Mi-Su who seemed equally surprised to see him there.
