Jungkook woke up right when the sunlight streamed through the window and touched his closed eyelids. He scrunched his nose, trying to roll over, but then he noticed someone snuggled up next to him. Tilting his head slightly, he realized it was Taehyung, lying there without a stitch of clothing.

Taehyung had shifted closer during the night, seeking refuge from the sunlight by burying his face in Jungkook's neck. His weight was all on Jungkook, with his legs draped over Jungkook's waist and his arms wrapped around Jungkook's muscles. Despite feeling a bit trapped, Jungkook couldn't resist leaning in to give Taehyung a gentle kiss on his soft, heart-shaped lips.

It felt impossible to resist doing so because Taehyung was akin to a sweet, snoring bear, utterly adorable and irresistibly kissable. Jungkook couldn't help but feel the urge to shower him with endless kisses, but he held back, fearing he might wake him up. Despite Taehyung's outward cuteness and affectionate nature, Jungkook couldn't shake the knowledge of his struggles with insomnia and other mental traumas. Yet, in those moments of peaceful slumber, Taehyung appeared so innocent and vulnerable, evoking Jungkook's instinct to protect him at all costs.

Jungkook marveled at how, whenever they slept side by side, Taehyung seemed to drift off with the weight of the world lifted from his shoulders. It made Jungkook smile to think that perhaps his presence contributed to Taehyung's serene restfulness.

Jungkook found himself unable to resist showering more kisses on Taehyung's arms, marveling at the beauty of the man he loved. Those lips, slightly parted as soft snores escaped, made Jungkook's heart flutter. He couldn't help but wonder, feeling overwhelmed with gratitude, "How did I get so lucky? What did I do to deserve someone as amazing as him?"

As Taehyung stirred in his sleep, nuzzling even closer to Jungkook's chest, the younger man couldn't help but coo at how adorable he was. Snuggling his arms tighter around Taehyung's waist, Jungkook inhaled deeply, taking in the intoxicating scent of his beloved. It was undeniable that he was completely infatuated, deeply, madly, and irrevocably in love. He eagerly looked forward to the day when he could confess his feelings and see the satisfaction reflected in Taehyung's eyes.

If only Jungkook could freeze time, he would do it in a heartbeat just to savor every moment with Taehyung. But since that wasn't possible, he contented himself with cherishing their time together. He couldn't resist showering Taehyung with affection, planting kisses on his soft hair, feeling his heart swell with happiness knowing that he was the reason behind Taehyung's smiles, even in his sleep. Jungkook was determined to do everything in his power to keep Taehyung happy, ensuring that he had all he desired and more.

As an hour slipped by, Jungkook continued to admire Taehyung's serene face, marveling at every detail that made him so breathtakingly beautiful, from his delicate features to the tiny moles that dotted his skin like stars in a constellation. Words failed to capture the depth of Jungkook's admiration for Taehyung's beauty.

Eventually, Jungkook reluctantly tore himself away from Taehyung's side, noticing it was already 9:00 in the morning. Wanting Taehyung to rest peacefully, he closed the curtains before quickly taking a shower and changing into comfortable clothes. After that, he made his way to the bathroom for a quick shower, emerging shortly after in comfortable sweats and a t-shirt, his damp hair sticking to his forehead. Needing a comb to tame his unruly locks, he ventured into the elder's room, scanning the space for the elusive tool amidst the familiar surroundings.

However, his search took an unexpected turn when he noticed Taehyung's diary lying half-open on the side table. Though he initially hesitated, he couldn't help but be drawn to the glimpse of his own name peeking out from between the pages. With a mix of curiosity and reluctance, he found himself flipping through the journal, unable to resist the temptation of Taehyung's intimate musings scribbled across the pages.
