Between Chances And Choices

Chapter 21

"Excuse me. Mr. Kim? Could we, maybe, take a picture with you?"

Two girls in graduation gowns approached Taehyung. He looked nearby, over at where his husband was taking photos with his family.

"One more. One more." Jimin urged them so he could take another shot.

"Sure." He responded shyly but warmly.

He adjusted his body, keeping his hands to himself, to take a self-cam group photo with them.

"Thank you." One happily thanked him with a smile.

"Congratulations." He greeted them.

"Congratulations to Jungkook too."

"Thank you."

"Now, with the son in law!" Jimin's voice boomed.

Jungkook's family turned to him and everyone simultaneously called him with a motion of a hand. He meekly walked to them. His father in law opened up a space for him beside his son. He stood close beside his glowing husband. Jungkook was holding the bouquet of tiger lilies he gave him.

"Ready? 1...2..."

Taehyung positioned his arms behind him. Jimin's lips puckered. His gaze shifted from the camera screen to them.

"What was that? Mr. Kim put your arm over his shoulders! What are you? Still at the getting to know each other phase?"

He can't help but scratch his head. He caught sight of Jungkook's shy grin, his eyes focused on the ground. His cheeks were blushing. He didn't do as he was told. Instead, he snaked his arm around the younger's waist.

"Beautiful! One more!"

"Jiminie hyung is taking this too seriously." Jungkook remarked behind a smile intended for the camera.

Taehyung quietly chuckled under his breath.

"This time, only the couple!" Jimin ordered.

Jungkook scheduled the celebration with his family to another day, in favor of giving all his time for Taehyung since he's only allowed to be out of the hospital for two days. They originally planned to watch a movie at the cinemas but ended up snuggled against each other, cuddling underneath the sheets in a hotel room.

"What do you think?" Jungkook asked while Taehyung was devouring his neck.

The older only hummed, unable to think of anything else except for the fair, fragrant, heated skin he's tasting.

"Tae."

He grazed his tongue on his sharp jaw, leaving a thin film of spittle on it.

"Baby."

He felt a light tug on his hair. His strands were in between the younger's fingers. He finally stopped to look at his face.

"What do you say? We can go now so you can start with the treatment immediately."

"I'll think about it." He promptly voiced before giving a smack on his lips.

"You've been saying that for months." Jungkook whined in between sweet, little kisses.

He put his palm on the older's chest to stop him, preventing him from coming any closer.

"Come on. Let's try it. We could be drinking wine off each other's body if it goes well."

Taehyung's thick eyebrows furrowed.

"That's oddly specific. Have you always fantasized about doing that?"
