His Sanctuary [Jikook]

Chapter 34

JUNGKOOK'S POV [few days later]

As the morning light filters through our curtains, I stir awake from my slumber. The warmth in my arms can not be missed as I wake up. I look at him, peacefully asleep, his warm breath fanning my skin, his plump parted lips, his beauty seems to shock me each and every day. How did I manage to get this one? I smile, placing a kiss on his slightly oily forehead. The love I have for him, it feels like it's gonna drive me insane one of these days. I can't function without him, and I hope he knows how much I need him. I want him and I to last forever.

Whilst I'm on that thought, I gently roll over and open my drawer as quietly as I can. My hand comes back with a little maroon box, I sigh... looking at it. I then open it, and it shines so brightly that it could almost make me blind. I took it out of the little box and looked at it.

I hold the ring delicately, admiring its intricate design and the way it catches the light, symbolizing my love and commitment. As I envision the upcoming proposal, a mix of excitement and nervousness washes over me, my heart beating with anticipation. Thoughts of a future together fill my mind, blending hope, love, and a touch of apprehension. I look at his little fingers, gripping tightly on the shirt I wore to sleep.

"It's gonna fit." I whisper, failing to hide my smile.

My phone suddenly vibrates on the nightstand, I panickingly put the ring back in the box and into the drawer so Jimin would not see it just yet. I then take my phone and look at it. It's an unknown number. I gently get off the bed, not forgetting to kiss my baby on the forehead. I don't want to wake him while on the phone, so it's best I get out of the room so he can continue to sleep peacefully.

I gently close the door, leaving him inside, and I answer.

"Hello." I said upon answering. There is silence on the other end of the call, but I could swear I hear someone breathing.

"Hello?" I say again, hoping one would speak, but there's still silence.

"Alright, I'm not up for a breathing competition so early in the morning. Goodbye." I say and immediately hang up. I look at the number. Who was that? And why didn't they talk? It's probably a wrong number, then.

I walk back into the room, and when I get there, Jimin is stretching his petite body and yawning while still on the bed. I smile and approach the bed slowly. He's now just looking at me, or rather... admiring, judging from how his eyes are scanning my body while he's smiling. I sit at the edge of the bed and playfully pinch his cheeks, he smiled. That beautiful smile.

"Good morning, beautiful." I say to him.

"Morning, Kookie. How long have you been up?" He asked me, sitting right beside me, wrapping his arms around me.

"I just woke up to answer a call." I told him.

"Why would you go out to answer a call?" He asked, looking confused.

"I didn't want to wake you, baby. You were looking so beautiful and peaceful while you slept." I told the utmost truth. He smiled and nodded at my words. Oh... look at that. I should be used to him by now. I should be used to this beauty by now. Should my heart still beat so fast when he smiles at me? Should I feel like confessing my feelings all over again when I see him?

"I love you." My mouth went ahead and said without my permission, but there were no lies detected there.

"That was sudden... but I love you too." He giggled, hugging me even tightly.

"Oh baby, I was thinking..."

"About?" He asks, anticipation and curiosity written all over his face.

"I want to take you to Busan, where I grew up. My home, back there. I just want you to see how I grew up and where I lived. If you're going to be a part of my life forever... you need to know these things... right?" I asked, caressing his cheek a little. I gave him a soft smile, but instead of returning it, he gave me a concerned look.
