The Union Of Hearts (Taekook)

Chapter 8

Kook was in the kitchen preparing lunch for his hubby, who was at the office. He thought it would be nice to visit tae at his office and spend some time together to strengthen their bond. He also wanted Tae to eat his lunch so he wouldn't skip meals.

As Kook was chopping vegetables, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see Yugyeom smirking at him.

Yugyeom: "Well, well, if it isn't Jungkook. What are you doing here?" Yugyeom teased.

Kook rolled his eyes dramatically and glared at him.

Kook: "What does it look like I'm doing? Don't you have eyes?"

Yugyeom's cheeks flushed slightly at embarrassment

Yugyeom: "Of course I have eyes! I can see you're cooking something. But who is the lucky person getting this meal?"

"Are you preparing it for me?" He batted his eyes dramatically.

Scrunching his nose in disgust, Kook scoffed and replied.

Kook: "Don't flatter yourself. This is most definitely not for an ugly mug like you. It's for my husband."

Yugyeom glared at him, and Kook smirked. Yugyeom was about to say something else when his mom called for him. He glared at Kook one more time before leaving the kitchen.

Kook: "Bastard".

Kook chuckled to himself and went back to preparing the lunch for tae. Once it was ready, he carefully packaged it up to take to Taehyung's office. He was looking forward to surprising his hubby and spending some quality time with him.

When Kook arrived at the Kim corporation. He made his way to Tae's office, ignoring the curious glances from the staff.

As he approached the open door, he could hear the low rumble of his husband's deep voice engaged in what sounded like an intense business call.

Kook hovered in the doorway, taking in the sight of Taehyung looking devastatingly handsome yet stressed, brow furrowed in deep concentration. His tie was slightly crooked and his dark hair was tousled in endearing tufts, clear evidence that he'd been running his fingers through it repeatedly - a habit of his.

After a moment, Taehyung's intense gaze landed on him and his expression immediately softened, his lips curved into a wide boxy smile that made kook's heart skip a beat. In that moment, it seemed like all the tension melted away from Tae's broad shoulders.

Tae: "Ah, hang on, Kim. Let me call you back," he muttered distractedly before quickly ending the call.

As soon as the call ended, Tae stood up from his desk and crossed the room in a few long strides, pulling Kook into a tight hug.

Kook's breath caught in his throat as those strong arms wrapped around him, the firm muscles of Tae's torso pressed against his own slender frame.

Tae: "Jungkook...what a wonderful surprise", he murmured warmly into Kook's hair, squeezing him affectionately.

"What brings you here?".

Tae pulled back slightly, keeping his arms wrapped around Kook's waist as he looked at kook with a questioning gaze.

Kook gave his hubby a shy smile as he held up the container of food.

Kook: "I made you lunch". Kook replied shyly

"Thought we could eat together and spend some time "

Tae's eyes softened even more at the sweet gesture. Growing up, his family never cared whether he was taking care of himself as long as he was putting in long hours to make money for them. Having someone dote on him, even with such a simple gesture as bringing him lunch...it made his heart flutter.

Tae: "Thank you, Jungkook. You really didn't have to."

Kook cut him off firmly, pulling away to set the food down on a table.

Kook: "I wanted to," he insisted.

"Let's eat together." bunny smile.

With a small, fond smile, tae obediently joined Kook at the table.

As they started eating, Jungkook noticed Taehyung's slightly crooked tie. Without thinking, he reached over and gently straightened it, letting his fingers linger against Tae's chest.

Kook: "You always work so hard," he said softly.

"You need to take care of yourself too. you know."

Instead of replying, Tae leaned in to press a tender kiss on Jungkook's forehead, making the younger's cheeks flush prettily.

Tae: "With you here to take care of me, how can I not?" he murmured huskily.

Kook's breath caught at the deep, affectionate tone of his hubby's voice and the utter fondness in his expression.

Ducking his head shyly, he just gave a small nod, cheeks still tinged pink.

As they ate together, exchanging talks and laughter between bites, Tae felt himself relaxing more and more in kook's warm presence. His wifey's bright smile and tinkling laugh were utterly enchanting.

Once they had cleaned their plates, Taehyung covered Jungkook's hand with his larger one, rubbing his thumb soothingly over Kook's knuckles.

Tae: "Thank you, Jungkook. It means a lot to me."

Kook blushed prettily at the sincere compliment

Kook: "It's really no problem. I...I want to take care of you and make sure you're taking care of yourself too." bunny smile.

Tae's breath caught at the earnest words and the soft yet intense eye contact between them. He could feel himself getting drawn in by the younger man's warmth and undeniable charm.

Tae brought kook's knuckles to his lips to brush a gentle kiss there and then pecked kook's forehead.

Kook's eyes automatically closed at the tender gesture, cheeks flushing even darker.

When those warm bambi eyes opened again, kook gazed at Tae almost shyly from under his lashes.

Kook: "Tae, I was wondering if you wanted to go shopping with me later. I know you're busy, but it would be nice to spend some time together".

Taehyung's mind flashed back to his father's harsh words about working all day and never wasting time on frivolous activities. But as he looked at kook's hopeful expression, he couldn't bear to see him sad.

How could he say no when Jungkook looked at him with such hope and fondness?. Tae knew he'd face consequences from his family later, but in that moment he didn't care. He just wanted to make his wife happy

Tae: "Of course, Jungkook," he said softly.

"I would love to go shopping with you." smiling warmly.

The bunny smile that crossed kook's face made it all worth it to Tae. As long as kook was happy, Tae decided he could endure whatever consequences came from his family.

Kook: "Really? You mean it?" kook asked, eyes sparkling with excitement.

At Taehyung's confirming nod, hug him tightly before pulling away.

Kook: "Thank you, Tae," bunny smile.

Tae: "For you, always," Taehyung murmured, turning his hand to lace their fingers together.

He used his other hand to gently brush some stray hair from kook's forehead.

Tae: "Anything to see you smiling like that."

Kook's cheeks flushed prettily at the tender gesture and words. He ducked his head shyly, peeking up at Tae through his lashes in that heart-fluttering way of his.
