chapter 28

Author's POV

The first rays of sunlight began filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the couple tangled in bed. Jungkook stirred slightly, his lashes fluttering as he blinked awake. His arms instinctively tightened around Jimin, who was snuggled against his bare chest, his soft breaths tickling Jungkook's skin.

Jungkook smiled, a tender expression spreading across his face as he gazed at his husband. Jimin looked ethereal, the sunlight highlighting his delicate features, his skin glowing like porcelain. Jungkook brushed a few stray strands of hair from Jimin's forehead, his fingers lingering to caress the soft strands. If he had his way, he'd spend eternity admiring Jimin, memorizing every curve and contour, every tiny detail that made him perfect.

But reality called. They had a guest. And, at the moment, neither of them was even remotely decent.

Jungkook sighed softly and leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to Jimin's forehead. The smaller man stirred but didn't wake. Smiling mischievously, Jungkook peppered Jimin's lips with a series of light kisses, hoping to coax him out of his dreams.

"Mmm, no," Jimin mumbled, wriggling closer and nuzzling deeper into Jungkook's chest. The older man chuckled, his heart swelling at the adorable sight.

"Baby," Jungkook whispered, his voice husky with affection as he leaned closer to Jimin's ear. "Wake up, love."

When the soft coaxing didn't work, Jungkook nipped playfully at Jimin's earlobe, earning a sleepy giggle. Jimin's eyes fluttered open, a bright smile lighting up his face as he looked at Jungkook.

"Good morning, hyung," Jimin murmured before leaning up to capture Jungkook's lips in a lazy, loving kiss. What started as a gentle brush of lips soon turned deeper, messier, as their emotions spilled over. Jimin shifted, straddling Jungkook's waist, his fingers curling into his husband's hair. But just as he began to deepen the kiss further, Jungkook placed his hands on Jimin's hips to stop him.

"Baby, stop," Jungkook said, his voice a mix of amusement and regret. Jimin pulled back, pouting. "We have a guest, remember?"

"But you didn't mind yesterday," Jimin whined, puffing his cheeks in protest.

"That's because a certain someone was too good at seducing me," Jungkook teased, earning a scandalized gasp from Jimin. He took the opportunity to tickle his husband, making the younger squirm and laugh uncontrollably before scooping him up bridal style.

"Come on, let's freshen up," Jungkook said, carrying Jimin into the bathroom.

After both were fresh and clean, Jungkook carried Jimin to the kitchen, the smaller man clinging to him like a koala. Every step was filled with unspoken warmth, and when they arrived, Jungkook gently placed Jimin on the counter as though he were something precious. His hands lingered on Jimin's waist for a moment longer before he turned to the coffee maker, his presence still grounding Jimin in every way.

Jimin's gaze followed Jungkook like a sunflower chasing the sun, his eyes filled with unrestrained adoration. The way Jungkook moved-calm, confident, and utterly his--made Jimin's heart flutter. He rested his chin in his hands, a lovesick smile gracing his lips.

Jungkook turned to find Jimin staring at him, his cheeks tinged pink, and couldn't resist leaning down to pepper his lips with soft kisses.

"You're too distracting, baby," Jungkook murmured against Jimin's lips, earning a soft giggle in return.

When the coffee was ready, Jungkook handed Jimin a cup, positioning himself between Jimin's spread legs. They sipped in contented silence, but the moment was short-lived as their lips found each other again, the coffee quickly forgotten. The kiss was gentle at first, but desperation from days of unresolved tension soon seeped in. The past two days had been a whirlwind- Jimin had ignored Jungkook after discovering his connection with Ava, and just as they'd resolved their issues, Ava had shown up uninvited. The lack of intimacy had left them yearning for each other more than ever.
