Fractured Vows✔️

09

"This is my room." Jungkook showed his girlfriend around his family's house.

"It's nice and clean." Sarah said looking around with juice in her hand.

Jungkook's father made her fresh lime juice, that was grown in their farm.

"My mom likes it this way, or she would swoon my ass with her pan if I cluttered it." Jungkook joked and Sarah chuckled and walked to him and kissed him.

"Jungkook! The food is ready." His dad yelled out and Sarah jerked bag in shock and spilled the juice on herself and groaned, it was a dark dress so it looked like she had peed.

"Oh my god. This is so embarrassing. I am meeting your parents for the first time and-" Jungkook cupped her face.

"Relax, let's fix it." He said and locked the door."You will have to remove that dress so I dry it with the iron." Jungkook suggested the idea.

"I am not wearing anything beneath. Do you think I will stand like this, all naked and wait for you to dry it?" Sarah said annoyed.

"You can wear my shirt." He removed his shirt and gave it to her. Sarah smiled as he turned around and waited for her to change.

"Here." She gave him her dress.

He took it and dried it with iron and Sarah smiled looking at his back. Choosing this man was the best decision ever, he was always there at her lowest.

She hugged him from behind and even if it had been very long since their relationship, Jungkook felt chills everytime she kissed him or hugged him. As if she wasn't his fiance but his crush.

"Sarah, you are distracting me." Jungkook chuckled.

"Because I want to. How about we let this dry on it's own and you give me a head?" She asked.

"You are too bold for my tolerance." Jungkook chuckled.

"I have to be, you are so shy. The only time you took courage was when you proposed me for marriage. I had lost hope and was planning to do it myself." Sarah sulked standing against him.

"I am glad you didn't. I never wanted you to kneel down in front of me." He planted a kiss on her lips."Here is your dress, it's dry."

"Just like my boyfriend. You need to start getting a little dirty with me." Sarah joked.

"Wait till we get married and you will unlock a new me. Because on boyfriend package, I am not doing that." Jungkook said with pride and Sarah chuckled.

"I will plan a long honeymoon then." Sarah winked at him.

....................

Sarah got out of her car and smelled the fresh air as Jungkook took their bags out.

"Don't forget the bag with gifts." She told him and walked inside.

Jungkook's mom didn't recognize Sarah at the moment and she was hurt by this but then she acted like she was fine again.

"I am happy you came along with Jungkook this time." Jungkook's father said.

Sarah looked at Jungkook who avoided eye contact. She never knew he had come behind her here. She thought he went on business trips as he told her.

Jungkook would come back to his parents every time he felt so mad at Sarah that he feared he would lose it.

"I am coming every time from now." Sarah smiled at his dad. He didn't have a daughter so he was always nice to her.

"Jungkook, go take your wife out to show the village, she has come after a long time, so many things have changed. She will feel nice." Jungkook's father suggested and he nodded.

Jungkook and Sarah walked together in silence. Sarah looked around, the village was indeed very nice.

"You came here without me? What type of message do you want to leave with your parents about me?" Sarah finally asked.

"Listen, I very well know you don't give a shit about anyone's opinion of you. You don't care about this marriage but you are worried about my parents' opinion of you?" Jungkook scoffed.

"What's wrong with us? You are busy so you don't have time for me and I am understanding of it." Sarah said shrugging her arms and Jungkook chortled.

"I am busy because I can't stand your way of living your life. It's a choice out of need and not want." Jungkook told her firmly and she looked away."You don't want to talk about the problems, you just ignore them. I don't know who I am living with because the Sarah I know was not like this. She was more vocal about the problems than me." Jungkook clenched his fists.

"You want to leave me?" Her voice came out fearful.

"You don't want to work on us." Jungkook shook his head and walked ahead. Sarah took deep breaths and looked at his back.

Sarah couldn't get this out of her head and remained silent the whole time. Jungkook ignored her too and talked with his parents.

She lied on the bed with Jungkook but she couldn't sleep. She was in discomfort.

Jungkook was in his sleep when he felt Sarah shivering inside the blanket. He sat up and shook her.

"Sarah? Are you fine?" He asked and she halted with her movements. He removed her blanket and touched her forehead and she was having a fever."Shit." He cursed under his breath and opened the lamp.

He went to the kitchen and because they didn't have the medicines at home, he took out the ice and cloth and wrapped the cold fabric on her head the whole time.

"Stop it and just sleep." Sarah groaned and removed the cloth.

"Shut up and close your eyes." He again put it on her head and she fell asleep.

He yawned and touched her face and now she was fine so he slept too. Sarah woke up in the morning and turned to her husband.

If he had problems with her then why did he still care about her? He had a choice of leaving her on her own for the whole night but he didn't.

"You are so confusing." Sarah whispered to herself and sat up when Jungkook moved in his sleep. She tucked him into the blanket and covered the curtains before she walked out and closed the door.

She sat on the stairs with her tea and looked at their small garden.

"Oh, when did you come?" Jungkook's mom asked surprised as she sat beside her and Sarah smiled.

"Just now, I was missing you." She pinched her cheek.

"Jimin just called, he is coming back too." She said and Sarah nodded.

"How is his writing career going?" She asked her.

"He is still struggling." She sighed.

"I told him my school friend owns a publishing house and I could set their meeting but he won't agree." Sarah complained.

"Both my son have high integrity." Mrs.Jeon smiled.

"Sarah." Jungkook spoke from behind and she looked at him.

"I will go see his father." Mrs. Jeon left.

"You want to go back? You fell sick last night." Jungkook leaned on the door.

"Not until next week when you will join me to our farmhouse." She walked away.
