These Are My Orders. (#WATTYS2019) [COMPLETED]

Moving Day Chapter 25

It had been over a 3 months since Jungkook said "Yes" to moving in with Jimin.  He and Jimin had some time off together and they decided it would be a good time to pack up Jungkook's personal items he wanted to take and move with him to Jimin's apartment.  Jungkook, also had to get his apartment ready for the newlywed couple who would be moving in in just less than a month.  Jungkook had a chance to meet them and they seemed like a pleasant couple.  The wife worked as a school teacher and the husband worked as a production manager at KBS.  They were excited to move in and loved the simple decor that Jungkook had for the apartment and appreciated that they would not have to buy new furniture and home goods so they could save up for when they were ready to buy a bigger place as their family would grow.  This simple domesticity hit Jungkook deep in his heart.  He hoped that someday maybe he and Jimin could have the same simple dream of growing a family but Jungkook moving in with Jimin was their start.

"Aegiya, where do you want me to start packing things?"  Jimin asked.

"Uuuum, why don't you start in the living room with taking down the personal pictures and artwork.  The Lin's are going to be hanging their own pictures I'm sure."  Jungkook called from the bathroom where he was going through the cabinets and cleaning out unused products and only packing the items he used.  He, also was cleaning down draws, shelves, doors, and walls and getting the room ready for a fresh coat of paint.

"Okay."  Jimin starts to remove the pictures from the wall and taking good looks at the personal pictures Jungkook had up.  Most were of him and his family.  He could see how happy Jungkook's family appeared to be in them. A happy mother and father smiling brightly in close up photos of the four of them...Jinhyun, SuJung, Junghyun, and Jungkook. Jimin couldn't remember if their were any happy photos of his family. He knew he had a couple of pictures of just his mother and father taken on their 25th wedding anniversary and one probably at another family members wedding, birthday, or some other event. In these pictures his parents stood stoically, with barely a smile gracing their lips. They always took life too seriously which stood in stark contrast to the Jeon's who seemed to take life in stride and not so seriously. Looking at the pictures he could definitely see that DNA had been very good to Jungkook. He had his father's chiseled features with his mothers eyes and bunny smile. His brother had been just as blessed. Jimin wondered how he could possibly rank as handsome when his own father was always so stern looking and his mother so sharp in her features. Jimin takes one picture down of just Jungkook, his mother and father. Junghyun must have been the one taking it. Jungkook looks like he is in his late teens or early twenties. It has Jungkook in a cap and gown on and he's in the middle with his face scrunched on both sides by the kiss his parents are giving him on each cheek while he has an arm around each shoulder. Jimin pulls it down and just stares at it.

Jungkook walks into the kitchen to grab something, "What ya looking at Baby?"

"Oh this picture of you and your parents." Jimin says wistfully.

Jungkook comes over to look over Jimin's shoulder. "Oh" he giggles "my college graduation picture. They were pretty proud."

"Hum, I have a picture at graduation but it is very different from this one. My parents are on either side but there is a good 150cm between each of us. They didn't hug me or kiss me. They just said 'Good job Jimin.' They weren't going to praise me for doing what was expected. Can I ask you a question Aegiya?" Jimin asks.

"Sure. What is it?" Jungkook responds.

"What do you see in me? I'm no one special. Sure I can sing and dance but I don't think I'm particularly handsome, despite being told the opposite. But, I want to know how you see me."

Jungkook back-hugged Jimin placing his chin on his shoulder and hugging tight while looking at the same picture with Jimin. "First off Baby, don't ever sell yourself short on anything ever again. You are so incredibly beautiful that my heart stops sometimes. I have seen people literally stare at you because you are so beautiful. You have the most delicious lips. I love those lips. Your eyes are just so velvety brown and I feel I could drown in them. When you smile the world is 1,000% brighter and your eye's turn into little crescents of joy and happiness. Don't ever think of yourself as average or not "particularly handsome"...or by any means "no one special". You always take my breath away. You're are kind, generous, loving, and selfless. You can make anyone fall in love with you but I'm the one whose lucky to have your heart. You are an incredible dancer and singer. It is all these little things that make up this great big beautiful man that I am so deeply, deeply in love with. Does that answer your question?" Jungkook finishes.
