Fated by 'I Do'

Chapter 14 : First Day as Married

As the door of their apartment clicked shut, a sense of intimacy and privacy enveloped Taehyung and Jungkook. The once noisy world outside now seemed to quiet, leaving just the two of them in their shared space. Taehyung glanced at Jungkook, who stood beside him, shyly fiddling with the hem of his suit jacket. A soft smile curved on Taehyung's lips as he stepped closer to his newly wedded husband, who still had a hint of pink coloring his cheeks from the events of the day.

Without a word, Taehyung scooped Jungkook up into his arms, causing the younger man to let out a small gasp, his doe eyes wide in surprise. "Tae-" Jungkook started, his hands instinctively wrapping around Taehyung's neck for balance.

"Shh," Taehyung whispered, his voice tender. "I've got you." His hold on Jungkook was firm yet gentle, like he was carrying the most precious treasure in the world. And in that moment, to Taehyung, Jungkook was just that-his beloved, his partner, his everything.

Jungkook hid his face in the crook of Taehyung's neck, his heart fluttering. It was rare for him to feel this shy, but Taehyung always had a way of making him feel like he was floating, light and cherished.

Taehyung carried him down the hall toward their bedroom, which had been thoughtfully and beautifully decorated by Hoseok and his team, exactly as Taehyung had requested. The soft, romantic lighting, scattered rose petals, and the gentle fragrance of fresh flowers filled the room, making it feel like the perfect retreat for the two of them after such a whirlwind wedding day.

When they reached the bed, Taehyung carefully placed Jungkook down on the plush mattress, his eyes never leaving his husband's face. The sight of Jungkook, so beautiful and radiant in the soft glow of the room, took Taehyung's breath away. He leaned down and pressed a tender kiss to Jungkook's forehead. "You're so beautiful," Taehyung murmured against his skin, his voice filled with affection.

Jungkook's heart fluttered at the words. He looked up at Taehyung, his gaze soft but full of the unspoken feelings that had been growing between them since they first agreed to the marriage. "Thank you, Tae," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "For everything."

Taehyung smiled, brushing a strand of hair away from Jungkook's face. "I'm the one who should be thanking you, Kookie," he replied, his tone soft and sincere. "You've made my life so much brighter just by being in it."

Jungkook's cheeks turned pink again, and he let out a small laugh. "I don't know about that, but... I'm really happy. And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

Taehyung's heart swelled with emotion at Jungkook's words. He leaned down again, this time capturing Jungkook's lips in a soft, loving kiss, sealing the promises they had made to each other earlier at the wedding ceremony. It was a kiss full of love, warmth, and the start of their forever.

As the night unfolded, the two of them shared quiet moments together, basking in the comfort of their newlywed bliss. The weight of the world felt far away, and in that room, it was just Taehyung and Jungkook-two souls bound together by love, ready to start their new life as husbands.

The morning sunlight filtered gently through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. It was well past the usual hour, but for the newlyweds, the world outside could wait. The night had been a blend of shared moments, intimate conversations, and a deepening of their bond, leaving them in a state of peaceful contentment.

Taehyung stirred first, his body instinctively moving closer to Jungkook, who was still sound asleep beside him. His bunny. His beautiful, delicate, precious bunny. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he gazed at Jungkook's serene face, his soft breathing the only sound in the room.
