Stuck With You [Taekook ff]

33| Self-Locking Behind Him

∗⋅◈⋅∗

Today was the damn day.

Jungkook dreaded opening his eyes but he had to. Opening them would mean it would be the last time they would see his husband.

He had to get up though, if he was to see Taehyung off.

Taehyung had showered and walked back into the bedroom, hand-drying his hair, his bottom half wrapped in a white fluffy towel. He looked delicious as usual.

"Good morning sleepy head," Taehyung said while bending to kiss Jungkook as he sat up in bed. "I was trying not to wake you. Go back to sleep and by the time you fully wake up, I'll be back. If you feel up to it I'll take you out and show you the town. How about that?"

"Sounds great." Jungkook's voice was groggy but soft. He watched Taehyung walk to his Chester drawer and pull out a crisp white pair of shorts. He let the towel drop as he put on a pair of underwear and shorts. It was then that Jungkook paid attention to his back. Jungkook had practically shredded Taehyung's skin with his nails, in an effort to process the pleasure from the night before. He had promised to do his best to keep quiet while they were in bed. Taehyung's back paid for the effort.

"You know babe, if you keep eyeing me like that, I'm gonna start charging a lookers fee." Taehyung laughed.

Jungkook smiled. "I can't help but look. And you know why."

"Yeah, but I still wanna hear it. It's because I'm a stud right?"

"Taehyung, no one even uses that word anymore. You're such an old soul." Jungkook snorted.

Jungkook walked up to him, his lower region aching a little bit, and ran his fingers over the scratches on Taehyung's back. "I'm sorry for hurting you."

"No problem. But you can put cream on them for me since you're awake now." Taehyung retrieved the ointment from the bathroom and Jungkook applied it gently to the scratches.

Jungkook then watched Taehyung as he finished getting dressed and gathered his workout bag. He was meeting Jimin at the gym to play squash. And after that, he wanted to get in time at the dojo since he hadn't had time the previous week. Meeting a guy in Vegas, marrying him, then bringing him home to keep him safe had thrown Taehyung's entire weekly plans out the window.

He let Jungkook know he'd be back after meeting his dad for their regular Saturday lunch.

Once he was ready, he kissed Jungkook on the cheek to say goodbye. Jungkook refused to say the word and if he had, he would've gotten choked up. So he simply watched his future ex-husband leave out the door and out of his life.

Shit.

His shoulders slouched and with tears forming, he looked around the living area. It was an absolute mess. Before showering, he took some Tylenol and began cleaning up the kitchen and then the living area. Then he went to pack.

After he gathered everything he now owned in the world, except the computer in Taehyung's office, he took a quick shower. He got dressed and was getting ready to leave the condo to purchase a new phone. Just as he was preparing to move his luggage to the living area, he heard the front door open. Had Taehyung come back early? Or did he forget something?

"Taehyung?" Jungkook called out, hiding the luggage in the closet. No one answered and he ran to the living area and saw a beautiful woman with long black hair standing in the middle of the kitchen. It was Taehyung's mother.

"Mrs. Kim?" Jungkook was shocked by her impromptu visit. Didn't she know that Taehyung was off doing his regular Saturday routine, including seeing her husband for lunch? What was she doing here?
