Author's POV:

The weekend sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow over the bustling city streets. The hum of the city was a distant murmur as Taehyung and Jungkook drove towards the mall for their weekly grocery restock, their car filled with an easy, comfortable silence punctuated by the occasional playful banter. 

Taehyung's fingers danced over the steering wheel, tapping in rhythm with the soft melody playing on the radio, his lips curling into a small, content smile. Beside him, Jungkook leaned back in passenger seat, the warmth of the sun kissing his skin as he keeps his unmoving gaze on Taehyung, the sight of his husband bathed in the afternoon light making his heart dizzy.

Looking at Tae's side profile wearing black tinted sunglasses, Jungkook wonders how on Earth he got so lucky and pulled the most handsome man alive.

Tae catches his husband staring for the millionth time since they hit road. This time silverhead just remains unfazed and focuses ahead muttering "whipped"under his breath.

"Only for you" Jungkook is not even slightest bit trying to hide how much he's drooling over him at the moment.  


When they arrived, the parking lot was alive with the buzz of weekend shoppers. Taehyung skillfully maneuvered the car into a spot near the entrance, and as they stepped out, Jungkook instinctively reached for Taehyung's hand, their fingers intertwining effortlessly. The simple touch, accompanied by a soft smile on Jungkook's lips, spoke volumes about their unspoken bond.

Inside the store, the atmosphere was a symphony of life—the sound of carts rolling over tiled floors, and the soft hum of background music weaving through the air. 

Grabbing a cart, they started down the aisles together, their steps in sync, as they discussed what they needed for the week. Jungkook, ever the responsible one, mentally ticked off items on their list, while Taehyung's attention was easily captured by colorful packaging and tempting new snacks.

"Ooh, look at these!" Taehyung exclaimed, his eyes lighting up as he held up a box of exotic-flavored chips, the vibrant packaging catching the light.

Jungkook frowned "these seem too spicy, love" he started shuffling around for the mild flavoured chps in same brand.

"They are not that spicy as they look, besides....they're limited edition!" Taehyung's expressions were almost childlike, his wide eyes pleading as he clutched the box near his chest and stood in front of Jungkook, who could never resist that look.

With a resigned sigh and an affectionate smile, Jungkook relented. "Alright, fine. Put them in."

As they moved through the store, Taehyung added items to the cart with the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store, while Jungkook made sure they got the essentials, his expression a mix of amusement and exasperation. Their interactions were full of domestic bliss, with moments of bickering over which brand of pasta sauce to buy, followed by secret smiles, stolen pecks and light touches.



The mall seemed to be buzzing with special energy today, the air filled with a mix of lively chatter, the soft rustling of shopping bags, and the occasional laughter of children darting between stores.

As they passed a trendy clothing store, a young saleswoman emerged from behind the counter, carrying a precarious stack of folded shirts. Just as she stepped onto the polished tile floor, her foot caught on the edge of a display stand, sending the pile tumbling to the ground in a colorful cascade. The saleswoman gasped, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as she hurried to crouch down, attempting to gather the fallen clothes.
