Jungkook tiptoed silently into Taehyung's room. The door was slightly ajar. Entering, he saw Taehyung sleeping on his back, completely at peace. Jungkook was exhausted himself. Lisa, had dragged him out of bed, scolded him, and sent him here, saying, "Your husband will leave for Seoul, and here you are snoring away. You're lucky your mother-in-law and husband are kind, otherwise, our mother-in-law would have started banging on the door by 5 a.m. to wake us up."

Jungkook slowly approached the bed, hesitating. What if Taehyung got angry or woken? Standing by the bed, he softly called, "Taehyungie hyung, Taehyungie hyung!"

Without opening his eyes, Taehyung shifted to the other side of the bed. Placing his hand on the now-empty space, he commanded in a groggy tone, "Lie down here."

Jungkook froze in shock. Why would he lie there? He said nothing. Taehyung, sensing his silence, spoke again, this time more firmly, "Didn’t I tell you to lie down?"

This time, the sharp tone made Jungkook obey without delay. As soon as he lay down, Taehyung's strong arm slid around his waist, pulling him close, his firm grip cutting through the layers of Jungkook's green clothes. Taehyung entwined their legs, holding Jungkook like a captive. At that moment, Jungkook felt trapped. Taehyung, his eyes heavy with sleep, opened them slightly to look at Jungkook's frightened, flushed face. Biting his lip to suppress a smile, he pulled Jungkook even closer.

"All dressed up for me to come and get cuddles in the morning? You don’t have to say it, I already know. You're lucky your husband loves cuddling a little too much with you."

"I didn’t wear this willingly, Mom made me wear it." Jungkook replied in a trembling voice.

Taehyung paid no attention to the reply

Taehyung paid no attention to the reply. His gaze was fixed on Jungkook’s face. Leaning in, he kissed Jungkook’s forehead and murmured,

"I love you, Bunbun."

Jungkook remained silent, his face lowered in embarrassment. Taehyung’s mood soured at his lack of response. "Why aren’t you answering me? Is it so hard for you to say ‘I love you’? What do you need, a bribe? How much will you charge me to hear those words?"

In a barely audible voice, Jungkook replied, "A bribe? What would I do with money?"

Taehyung teased, "I thought you might be as greedy as my father-in-law as you are his blood! No money, huh? Then you must want something else. Wait a month; something else will come your way soon."

"Are you calling my Appa greedy?" Jungkook asked, his voice laced with indignation.

"Of course. Don’t you think so? I’m a hundred percent sure he’s greedy, stingy, and arrogant. All of it!"

Fuming, Jungkook tried to get up, but Taehyung pushed him down firmly onto his chest. Then he did something that froze Jungkook in place. His entire body turned cold as Taehyung bit the side of his neck, leaving a faint mark.
