Hello, beautiful human beings; I was done with this chapter yesterday but didn't get time to update, I dozed off while editing, so here we are... Have a great day

Jimin walks out of the building, his eyes piercing as he scans across the street teeming with life. His employees and associates are scattered around, all ending their tasks of the day. Suddenly, ripples of murmurs run across as all heads turn, sparks of bewilderment and curiosity running across their eyes.

That would be when they see him: Jungkook. He is leaning casually against his sleek, black car as if he just stepped off the pages of a fashion editorial. His arms are crossed, and a smirk tugs at the corner of his lips. The moment his eyes catch Jimin, though, something softer gleams in his gaze.

Without hesitation, Jungkook straightens and strides over to open the car door for Jimin. So fluid, so effortless, yet there is something in the move that has everyone around them speechless. Mafia bosses do not necessarily act like that, yet there he is, Jungkook, gliding through the action with ease.

Jimin's voice catches, his chest filling with warmth. He's not one to get flustered easily, but this.....this tiny considerate gesture in front of everyone, feels like a confession loud than any words. He has heard a million professionals in his lifetime, but this wordless, premeditated act of kindness leaves him speechless.

An eyebrow rises and he can't help teasing, "What's this, Jeon? Decided I deserve the princess treatment today?"

Jungkook's smile widens, his voice dropping down to a low murmur of affection. "You always deserve it, baby doll. Just thought I'd make sure everyone knows it too."

The smooth confidence in the tone sends a flutter through Jimin's heart. It is a familiar intensity in Jungkook's eyes, the kind that always catches Jimin's breath. It is not just because he states this, but to let Jimin know that he is very much the center of Jungkook's world.

He steps closer, allows himself to be guided to the car, a genuine smile tugging his lips. Turning a little before sliding in, he catches Jungkook's gaze. "You know," he says softly, so only Jungkook will hear him, "I don't need all the flashy gestures."

Jungkook's fingers dance delicately over Jimin's hand, squeezing it a little reassuringly as he leans in close, his face inches from Jimin's, he let his forehead touch to Jimin's. "I know you don't need them, but you deserve them. And if I can show you how much you mean to me in every way possible, I'm going to do it."

Sincerity then drips from Jungkook's voice, almost overwhelming, a mix of possessive and loving all mixed together to make Jimin's heart rush rapidly. He doesn't need to say anything in return; the way Jungkook treats him-most especially at these quiet, meaningful moments-says everything he feels.

Jungkook settles Jimin in, tugging the seatbelt gently to get it comfortable across his waist. Contrasting with his dangerous reputation, his fingers move delicately over Jimin's belly. He leans in close enough for Jimin to feel his breath before he closes the door.

"Ready for a night just for us, baby doll?" Jungkook's voice is low, only a murmur.

Jimin's eyes dance with mischief, but there's softness too. "Only if you promise to keep spoiling me like this, Jeon."

Jungkook smirks deeper, his eyes gleaming with affection. "You haven't seen anything yet, Princess."

He closes the door delicately and walks around toward the driver's side, not missing the wide eyes and hushed whispers from those still onlooking. Let them talk, Jungkook thinks. They can make their wonderings as much as they want, but it's his and Jimin's moment.
