Stuck With You || Kim Taehyung

Part 55

TAEHYUNG'S POV 

The sunlight came first.

Warm and gentle, it pushed past the curtains and crept across the bed, brushing against my skin like a whisper. I stirred, blinking slowly as the light painted gold across the room. My body felt heavy, still stiff from the hospital, but it didn't matter. There was something soft about this morning. Quiet. Like the world was holding its breath.

I turned my head.

And there she was.

Y/N lay beside me, half-curled into the blanket, one hand tucked under her cheek. Her face was relaxed in sleep, lips parted just slightly, hair a mess across the pillow—and still, somehow, she looked like something out of a memory. Or maybe a dream I was afraid to wake from.

I didn't move at first. Just watched.

There was a weird tightness in my chest. Something about seeing her like this—peaceful, close, mine—made everything feel a little too big inside me.

We'd only been married for 2 months

But even now, even after the whirlwind of remembering pieces of our childhood, after the awkward first weeks of relearning each other, this... this felt right. Effortless in the way only something familiar could be. Like she'd never really left. Like part of me had always known her, even when my mind forgot.

My hand moved before I thought about it. I brushed a strand of hair off her forehead, letting my fingers hover just a second too long near her cheek. She didn't flinch, didn't stir. Just breathed in that steady rhythm that always calmed me down more than I'd admit.

I traced the edge of her jaw lightly with my knuckles. Just once.

God, she's beautiful.

Not in that picture-perfect way. But in the real way. The kind of beautiful you notice more the longer you look. The kind that makes you ache a little, just because it's there and you get to have it.

"You're everything," I whispered, not really meaning to say it out loud.

But apparently, I wasn't as quiet as I thought.

Y/N stirred, her brow twitching. Then her lashes fluttered, slowly, and she blinked up at me with sleep-heavy eyes.

For a second, she didn't speak. Just looked at me the way people do when they're still halfway in a dream.

Then, voice rough and muffled, she murmured, "...Were you watching me sleep?"

I smiled, caught. "Maybe."

She groaned into the pillow. "That's creepy, Tae."

I laughed under my breath. "You say that, but you didn't even flinch."

"I'm too tired to be scared of you," she mumbled, peeking up again. Her lips curled into the smallest smirk. "You've got that weird soft look on your face. Should I be flattered or concerned?"

"Definitely flattered," I said, propping myself up slightly. "You're unreal in the mornings."

She gave me a look. "Are you flirting with me before 8 a.m.?"

I shrugged. "What if I said I've been in love since 7:45?"

That quiet fell between us again. Not awkward. Just full. Heavy in the way mornings can be when you're wrapped up in something real.

Then, without a word, she reached under the blanket and found my hand. Her fingers slid between mine like they'd done it a thousand times before.

"You okay?" she asked softly, thumb brushing over my knuckles. "Your arm?"

I nodded. "A little sore."

"You want herbal tea?"

I looked at her. Really looked. Hair all over the place, voice still groggy, eyes barely open—and the first thing she thinks about is me.

How does she always do that?

"I want you to stay like this," I said quietly. "Just for a little longer."

She smiled—sleepy and real. "Okay."

She shifted closer, careful not to bump my bad arm, and rested her head lightly on my chest. Her body fit against mine like a memory I forgot I had.

We didn't say anything else.

The light grew a little brighter. The room a little warmer. 

My free arm was patting her back with a satisfied smile . She is so cute and even rebellious but whatever it  is she is mine now . She is stuck with me forever . 

 After 5 min Y/N patted my chest before sitting on the bed . I kept my arm behind my head kept watching her......... how flawless she is . 

She made a messy bun and yawned cutely and stood up and left from our room . After sometime she came back with my herbal tea and kept it on the nightstand . Just like sick lover boy I kept watching her without missing a beat . My eyes are always on her . They followed her everywhere . 

" Get up fast ." she said while resting her hands on her hips . I sat up slowly and gave her puppy eyes . " What ?" she asked and I looked at my arm . 

She raised her eyebrows " I  can't brush my teeth my arm doesn't work ....please make me brush " 
Y/N laughed a bit and said " Did you forget babe you are ambidextrous " 

I pouted a little and lied on the bed carefully saying " you don't love me anymore" I huffed  

She shook her head .
