His Sanctuary [Jikook]

Chapter 45

3RD PERSON POV

[Time skip to 6 months later, forgive my lazy ass.]

A tall figure is slouched over the desk, brushing his head frustratedly. It's late, the light of the moon filters through the windows, casting a magical glow on the office. He can't stop sighing with each second that passes. He looks at the white wall as if something interesting lies in it.

The phone buzzes on his table, disturbing him from his train of thoughts. Looking at the caller ID, he rolls his eyes and answers.

"What Taehyung?"

"Well, that's a very rude way to answer Jungkook. Where are you?" Taehyung's pissed voice asked on the other side.

"I'm at work." Jungkook answers monotonously.

"It's 8:30 pm. You get off work at 6 pm. Why the fuck are you not coming back?"

"Just... a few more minutes." Jungkook begs.

"Listen here, you asshole. I've been stuck in this house since morning. Tending to Jimin's every need and wiping his tears. My feet and back hurt... if you don't come back right now, I'm gonna leave him alone here." Taehyung whispers angrily.

"Tae, please... I need the rest." Jungkook whispers back.

"Too bad, you're the reason he's like this. Come and deal with your shit." Tae whispers yet again.

"Why are we whispering anyway?"

"Because your husband is inside the bathroom. I'm waiting for him right now." Taehyung says.

"Okay, just... give me a few minutes, Tae. I'll be right there." Jungkook drops the call after saying.

Just thinking of where he is going makes him wanna scream in frustration. Who said this pregnancy journey would be all fun and roses? He plays with the wedding band on his finger, rotating it with a slight smile as he walks out of the office to his car. He and Jimin had gotten married months ago when Jimin was still 4 months pregnant. Although it wasn't as big, it was the most beautiful thing ever. Jimin, how demure he looked in his wedding attire. They had a beautiful day.

Now, they were 8 months pregnant, and Jimin was huge. Jungkook always wondered how he hadn't given birth yet.

For Jungkook, he felt like he was failing his husband. He always promised to take care of him throughout the whole pregnancy, but sometimes, it gets too much for him. Although he doesn't go to work often, sometimes he does use it as an excuse to give his body some rest. Jimin had grown to be a very demanding person. Due to the pregnancy, he couldn't do anything without needing a little assistance. He was too big, it was hard sitting down, hard getting up, hard walking up the stairs, actually, walking on its own was just too much for him. He needed a lot of care, and Jungkook did care...

But sometimes he got tired too.

The car pulls up on the driveway of Jungkook's mansion. He gets out of the car and walks into his house. To his surprise, he meets Taehyung at the door, already headed out.

"You're leaving already?" Jungkook asks as he makes his way in.

"We should actually be getting paid for this." Taehyung says, talking about him the rest of the guys. Namjoon, Yoongi, Jin, and Hobi also came once in a while to look after Jimin when Jungkook is gone.

"I'll treat you to a meal sometimes, thanks, bro."

Taehyung ignores those words and walks out, banging the door closed after leaving. Jungkook walks inside, his eyes wandering around the house as he searches for Jimin.
