The Other Side | Jikook

Chapter 41

Jungkook POV

Humming softly to myself as I begin to wake up, I don't have to open my eyes to know that Jimin is still laid there wrapped up in my arms, the same position that we'd fallen asleep in after last night's activities. I feel him shift slightly beside me, though still staying fast asleep as he rolls around in my arms to face me instead. Dragging my eyes open, I look down at him with a small content smile, knowing I could very much get used to waking up with him in my arms.

He's a beautiful sight, even though it's the morning after having had sex and giving ourselves to each other last night. Black silky locks strewn all across his forehead, messy atop his head as he breathes lightly. His beautifully plump lips no longer swollen like they had been after we finished last night, parted slightly as light puffs of breath slip past them. He's got his bare legs tangled together with my equally bare ones under the sheets at the end of the bed, and I'm not sure if I love the feeling of that more or the feeling of his head resting on my bare chest as his breath fans across my body.

"I know I'm not the most beautiful sight after a night of sex, Kookie, but you don't have to stare, babe." Jimin speaks up suddenly, his voice soft but rough at the same time from it being morning, the sound still beautiful to me all the same. Though, I'm caught off guard a bit from having been caught, quickly nuzzling my face into the crook of his neck as I feel my cheeks heat up from his comment.

"How did you know? You weren't even awake." I whine quietly, my lips forming a small pout as he chuckles in response.

"I wasn't asleep, baby. I just don't like waking up in the morning. And your gaze was heavy enough to crush someone's chest." He teases lightly, causing my cheeks to heat up even more if possible.

"It's not my fault you're beautiful." I mutter quietly before feeling him shake his head against me.

"Come on. Might as well get up since we're both awake." Jimin murmurs gently, snaking a hand around my waist. Huffing, I nod before we both reluctantly untangle ourselves from each other.

Silently, we both crawl out of bed and pull our boxers on. I merely pull my tee shirt on and watch as Jimin goes over to his his closet and pulls out the ash gray silk robe I'd bought him. I can't help but smile at the sight, how high it rides on him, giving him a cute but sexy look all at once. He looks over at me with a shy smile before motioning for us to head out. I manage to snap out of it, quickly pulling my sweatpants on as well before jogging over to him. Taking his hand in mine, I lead us out of his room and down the barren hall towards the stairway.

When we reach the dining room, the food's already set out for us, prepared like always. I smile over to Jimin, kissing his cheek before letting his hand go so that we can take our seat opposite each other.

"Kookie?" Jimin speaks up softly as I begin dishing out food for the two of us. I glance up at him curiously, raising an eyebrow as I do.

"Are there any plans for today?" He asks quietly, glancing down at the plate of food in front of him that I'm continuing to fill.

"Not really. I don't think the funeral is for a couple more days yet. I've not seen my father nor heard from him on that yet. Why?" I respond, wondering what he could possibly be thinking. I watch him as he chews on his lip for a moment, silently staring down at his plate with uncertainty in his eyes.

"There's someone I need to visit. I... I need to speak to him and just... catch up for a short bit. I-if that's okay? He was the only person who looked out for me while I was a sex slave..." Jimin requests in an unsure and nervous tone. I frown in curiosity as to why he could be so nervous just to ask me this, but I don't bother questioning it after everything he's been through. After everything we've been through.

"Of course, Jiminie. I can take you there after we finish breakfast, if you'd like? I can just wait out in the car for you, and you can take your time with him. Okay?" I offer with a smile, somehow catching him off guard. His head snaps up with wide eyes as he looks at me in surprise.

"Really?" He asks softly, surprise still oozing from him. Smiling, I nod my head before beginning to eat. He simply hums softly as he looks down at the food for a moment before finally joining me in eating as well.
