CHAPTER 51

ENJOY!!

As the first rays of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room, Jungkook stirred awake. He blinked slowly, his eyes adjusting to the light, and the first thing he noticed was the warmth of Taehyung still nestled against him. A content smile curled his lips as he gazed down at her peaceful face, her breathing slow and steady.

For a moment, Jungkook just watched her, savoring the tranquility of the early morning. It was a rare moment of stillness, where the world outside seemed to hold its breath, and all that mattered was his love in his arms. He could feel the rhythm of her heartbeat, steady and sure, matching his own.

Taehyung shifted slightly, snuggling closer into Jungkook’s chest, as if unconsciously seeking more of his warmth. The movement stirred something deep within him—a fierce protectiveness, a desire to shield her from anything that might disrupt this fragile peace they had found.

As Taehyung began to wake, Jungkook brushed a gentle kiss against the top of her head. She stirred, her eyes fluttering open, and she looked up at him with a sleepy smile, the kind that always made his heart skip a beat.

“Morning, beautiful,” Jungkook murmured, his voice still husky from sleep.

Taehyung’s smile widened, a soft laugh escaping her lips. “Morning, Kook,” she replied, her voice equally groggy but filled with affection. She stretched slightly, feeling the pleasant ache of having slept in the same position all night. “Did you sleep well?”

Jungkook nodded, his fingers gently tracing patterns on her arm. “I did. Best sleep I’ve had in a long time,” he admitted, his eyes never leaving hers.

Taehyung’s heart fluttered at the sincerity in his gaze. She knew he meant it, and it made her feel warm all over, like she was wrapped in the coziest blanket. “Me too,” she whispered, pressing a soft kiss to his chest.

They stayed like that for a while, simply enjoying the quiet intimacy of the morning. The world outside was beginning to wake up, the sounds of the city slowly filtering in, but inside this little bubble, it was just the two of them.

Eventually, Taehyung shifted, propping herself up on one elbow so she could look down at Jungkook more clearly. Her fingers gently brushed a strand of hair away from his forehead, and she smiled softly. “Kook, can we stay like this forever?” she asked, half-joking, half-serious.

Jungkook chuckled, reaching up to cup her cheek, his thumb brushing over her skin in a tender caress. “I wish we could, Tae,” he replied, his voice soft. “But we have the rest of our lives to be together. Every day, every night, just like this.”

Taehyung’s heart swelled at his words. She leaned down, capturing his lips in a sweet, lingering kiss, one that promised a lifetime of mornings like this, filled with love and quiet moments of happiness.

When they finally pulled away, Taehyung rested her forehead against Jungkook’s, their breaths mingling in the small space between them. “I love you so much,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion.

“I love you too, Tae,” Jungkook replied, his voice equally filled with feeling. “More than words can ever express.”

They stayed like that for a few more minutes, savoring the connection between them, before Taehyung finally sat up, stretching her arms above her head. “Come on, let’s get some breakfast,” she said with a smile, her tone light and cheerful. “I’m starving.”

Jungkook chuckled, sitting up as well and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “You’re always hungry,” he teased, earning a playful swat from Taehyung.
