Time flies fast when spent with close ones.

The young couple, drowning into each other's eyes, is oblivious to the time or surroundings.

"This really tastes like berries. I regret missing out on this my whole life."

His heart warms up when Y/n smiles big at him. She is adorable.

"It's growing on you, I see" He says, watching her enjoy the third glass of wine while taking a sip from his own.

"However...." He pauses, sparking her interest "You won't get to drink more."

"What? No..." She whines.

"I don't break promises. You are already a bit tipsy"

"Hmph... B-but why not? I'm asking you to break it"

Great. Now she is stammering as well. Yet, she wants to taste Jungkook's exquisite beverage.

He shakes his head, his resolve more firm than an iron clad.

"I never say things I don't mean. Nor do I make promises for name sake. I have my standards."

"But—never m-mind."

She lays her head on the table, shoving the plated dishes and desserts to his side.

Jungkook can see that small pout forming on her lips as she grumbles under her breath.

He feels an urge to grab her face and devour those pouty lips and then...

'Control'

He groans, reprimanding himself for his brazen thoughts.

"Now, now.. Don't curse me like that. You can rant it to my face. I'd be entertained to see you all riled up"

He teases, trying to deceive his mind into thinking that the thought of kissing her never occurred at all.

"Hah!" She scoffs. Jungkook can't help but laugh at her insolence.

"Oh, sweetheart. Don't be so cruel. Look in my eyes"

He pats her head affectionately. She feels an awful warmth spreading across her chest.

She lifts her head up, his hand still on her head. "I'm n-not a pet to pat"

Her cheeks are heavily flushed for the alcohol and the affection shown by Jungkook as well.

"Who says you are not? You're a cute, little hamster"

"H...h-hamster?" Her face goes blank.

"Cute, little hamster" He corrects her.

Her expressions harden and she again buries her face into the table.

"I hate you"

She stays put, not knowing how Jungkook's smile dropped in an instant.

"I know" He smiles bitterly

She looks nowhere and closes her eyes in exhaustion but sits straight when someone keeps shaking her.

"This is not the time or place to sleep"

"Master.."

Jungkook's eyes narrow in confusion. It's been months he forbade her to call him that.

Perhaps, this is the alcohol effect. She is saying things she'd likely keep to herself.

"Master, what do you think of me?"

"Think of you?" He ponders before saying "You are my only wife."
