Falling for the Dark || JJK

Epilogue II: A New Dawn

The sun peeked through the sheer curtains of the elegantly decorated bedroom, casting a warm glow over the tangled sheets where Jungkook and Evelyn lay entwined. The air was filled with a sense of peace and the lingering scent of roses from the bouquet Jungkook had gifted Evelyn earlier in the day. As the light crept across the room, Evelyn stirred, her eyelids fluttering open to reveal the soft, familiar features of her husband sleeping beside her.

A gentle smile crept across her face as she took in the sight of Jungkook's peaceful expression, his dark hair tousled and his lips slightly parted. Last night had been a whirlwind of emotions—love, passion, and the overwhelming joy of finally becoming one with the man she had adored for so long.

Evelyn shifted slightly, careful not to disturb him, and propped herself up on her elbow to study him more closely. The memories of their wedding night flooded her mind: the way he had looked at her during their vows, the feel of his lips on hers as they sealed their promises, and the warmth of his body as they finally became one.

Feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness, she decided to let him sleep a little longer. She slipped out of bed, wrapping herself in a soft robe before quietly padding to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. The house was blissfully quiet, the only sounds being the soft rustle of her robe and the gentle creaking of the floorboards beneath her feet.

As she brewed coffee and flipped pancakes, her mind drifted back to the beautiful ceremony they had shared. The decorations had been stunning, with white and gold flowers adorning every surface, twinkling fairy lights strung overhead, and the sounds of laughter and music filling the air. Their friends and family had celebrated with them, and the love that surrounded them had felt like a warm embrace.

When the aroma of fresh pancakes and brewing coffee wafted through the air, Evelyn couldn't help but smile at the thought of surprising Jungkook with breakfast in bed. She quickly arranged everything on a tray, adding a few fresh berries and a sprig of mint for color.

Just as she finished, she heard soft footsteps behind her. She turned to find Jungkook leaning against the kitchen doorframe, his hair still tousled and his eyes sleepy but brightening at the sight of her.

"Good morning, beautiful," he said, his voice still thick with sleep.

Evelyn felt her heart race at the sound of his voice, the familiar warmth spreading through her. "Good morning! I thought I'd surprise you with breakfast."

Jungkook's eyes lit up as he walked toward her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. "You're amazing. I can't believe we're finally married."

"Me neither," she replied, leaning into him, feeling the warmth of his body envelop her. "It feels like a dream."

After a moment, he released her, and she placed the tray on the table, motioning for him to sit. They ate together, exchanging laughter and soft glances, the intimacy of the morning making her heart swell.

As they finished their breakfast, Jungkook reached for her hand, intertwining their fingers. "What do you want to do today? We have the whole day to ourselves."

Evelyn smiled, her mind racing with possibilities. "Maybe we could take a walk in the park, or just stay here and relax. I'd love to spend more time with you, no matter what we do."

Jungkook nodded, his expression softening. "I just want to be with you, too. Let's take our time and enjoy this moment."

They spent the rest of the morning snuggled up on the couch, wrapped in each other's arms, sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. The intimacy of their connection deepened with every whispered word, every gentle touch.
