ROSES AND GOLD

18

I'm gonna be gone for a while. Exams and travelling and Christmas family stuff, I might not get enough time to update. So here's my additional chapter guys.

************************************

The morning is a beautiful one. Somehow, the air seems more fresh and the sun rays more golden. The ocean waves moving ashore sound gentle and soothing.

In the house, giggles and excited words are heard as two lovers move around the whole place, basically glued together.

That morning, Jungkook of course woke up first...even before the sun rays appeared. He took his time checking on any new updates about work, replied to some emails and took photos of Yoongi while sleeping.

Yoongi wakes up after a while and the two have a lazy morning talk in bed while cuddling. They talked about random high school memories and the cringe things they did when they were kids.

Moving on to get ready together. I felt so good when they were so in sync, even picking outfits for each other to wear for the day.

In the kitchen, they have a slight competition in making pancakes...they turned out great. After having another lovely time doing dishes, they exit the place and  leave the premise while holding hands.

" The sun is hot. Did you apply your sunscreen?" Jungkook looks at Yoongi who rolls his eyes.

" My skin isn't that sensitive! Seokjin was just kidding. I wouldn't really look like a lobster!"
Jungkook giggles, wrapping his arm around Yoongi's shoulder.

" Okay, sorry. But I don't want you in the sun too long. You're already looking pink."

Yoongi huffs but decides to let the topic slide. He smiles as he sees they are approaching a more crowded place.
There are numerous tourists in the place and simple foreigners all filling the place.

Yoongi holds on to Jungkook's hand tighter who looks at him. He knows Yoongi can get a little insecure in a new place with new faces. But he would make sure they have a good time.

He leads them to an ancient shrine near the market place. At the shrine is a tent like building and a monk inside.

" Wanna get in? Say a prayer?" Jungkook asks and Yoongi excitedly nod. They first seek permission from the servants and are allowed in.

At the other side is a monk, sitting cross legged with his eyes closed as he meditates. Statues of ancient figures decorate the place along with lit candles and herbs laid on a tray in front of him.

The monk, sensing a presence opens his eyes and sees the two who bow to him. He nods and they both sit in front of him. He looks at Jungkook, and offers him two candles, which he gives Yoongi one.

They light up the candles, as the monk raises the herbs in a tray and swirls it In a circular motion. He looks at the two and smiles.

" A strong bond. Pure and soothing." He starts, then looks at Jungkook.

" The strength of the bond. The protector and your happiness comes from him" he points at Yoongi then narrows his eyes at him.

" You are mischievous, but you are the holder of the bond. The caring one, your deepest hurt comes from his own hurt. It is dangerous...but worth it."

Yoongi pouts and looks at Jungkook who is grinning at the monk.

" Only listen to each other. There are a lot of oppositions to you two. The time you listen to those voices, is the time you two will break."

They nod and calmly wait for the final prayers before exiting the tent, of course leaving a generous offering.

" Why I'm i the mischievous one?" Yoongi asks while whining. Jungkook laughs then kisses his cheek.
