As I slowly blinked my eyes open, the warm morning light filtering through the curtains greeted me. A sense of comfort enveloped me as I realized I was nestled in Jungkook's arms, the gentle rise and fall of his chest beneath me soothing in its familiarity. It took me a moment to remember how I ended up here, but Jungkook's soft voice broke through the haze of sleep.

"Morning, sleepyhead," he greeted, his voice husky with sleep.

I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, feeling a little disoriented. "Morning," I replied with a yawn, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep.

Jungkook chuckled, a fond smile playing on his lips. "You fell asleep in the car on the way back last night. I carried you in," he explained, his gaze warm as he looked at me.

I blushed, feeling a little embarrassed. "Sorry about that," I mumbled sheepishly.

"Don't apologize, you looked peaceful," he reassured me, reaching out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind my ear.

As we settled into conversation, I couldn't help but smile at the memories of the previous evening. "I had such a great time last night," I admitted, feeling a rush of warmth at the thought of spending time with Jungkook and his friends.

Jungkook's eyes lit up with excitement. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. You fit right in with everyone," he remarked, his tone filled with pride.

An idea suddenly popped into my head, and I turned to Jungkook with a spark of excitement in my eyes. "Hey, what do you think about hosting dinner here for all the members and their soulmates?" I suggested, my voice bubbling with enthusiasm. "It could be a great opportunity for me to get to know  and for everyone to spend some quality time together outside of work."

Jungkook's eyes widened with surprise, but he quickly warmed to the idea. "That sounds like a fantastic idea, Ari," he replied, his smile growing wider. "I'm sure everyone would love it."

Feeling a sense of satisfaction at his positive response, I couldn't wait to start planning the dinner and bring everyone together for a memorable evening. As we discussed potential dates and menu ideas, I felt a surge of excitement at the prospect of creating new memories with Jungkook and his friends in the days to come.

"I can cook for everyone," I offered, eager to contribute to the evening.

Jungkook's eyes brightened with anticipation. "That sounds amazing, Ari. I haven't had much of your cooking, but I bet it's delicious," he said with a grin

Hey guys, Ari and I are planning to host a dinner at my penthouse for all of you and your soulmates. How does today sound?" I typed, sending it off before glancing over at Ari.

She stirred beside me, her movements slow and groggy as she attempted to get out of bed. Before she could fully rise, I reached out and gently grabbed her wrist, pulling her back towards me with a playful grin.

"Where do you think you're going?" I teased, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her into my lap. "I haven't had my morning kiss yet."

Ari laughed, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "You're such a tease," she teased, leaning in to press a soft kiss to my cheek. "There, happy now?"

I pick  Ariup adjusting my grip , lifting her effortlessly in a bridal carry. With a playful grin, I carried her towards the kitchen island and gently set her down on one of the stools.

"Here's your throne, Your Highness," I joked, earning a giggle from Ari as she settled onto the seat.

I glanced around the kitchen, mentally planning out our breakfast menu. Cooking was something I enjoyed, especially when it came to preparing meals for Ari.

"Why don't you relax for a bit?" I suggested, flashing her a warm smile. "I'll whip up something delicious for us.

After putting the finishing touches on our breakfast, I plated the food and set Ari's portion in front of her. As she took her first bite, a contented moan escaped her lips.

"Mmm, Kookie, this tastes amazing," she murmured, her eyes closing in delight. "You really know the way to a girl's heart."

I grinned at her compliment, feeling a surge of pride at her reaction. "Glad you like it," I replied, taking a seat beside her. "But you know, cooking this delicious meal deserves a reward, don't you think?"

A mischievous twinkle danced in my eyes 

With a playful smirk, I leaned in closer, my voice dropping to a whisper. "How about a kiss?" I suggested, a hint of mischief in my tone.

Ari's cheeks flushed pink as she looked at me, her gaze filled with amusement. "You're shameless, Jungkook," she teased, though I could see a glimmer of affection in her eyes.

I chuckled, leaning back slightly to give her space. "Can't blame a guy for trying," I replied with a grin, enjoying our playful banter.

Ari's laughter filled the air as she shook her head at my antics. "Fine, you win," she conceded, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on my cheek.

The touch of her lips against my skin sent a shiver down my spine, and I couldn't help but smile at the warmth of her affection.
