The Boss and I

Interesting Tidbits on Life After Marriage - Part 2

Jimin's Chocolate House

When it comes to housing, Jimin wants a house made out of chocolate ever since he had been a little boy.

Chocolate chimney, chocolate walls, chocolate windows, chocolate bed, it would be best if even the blanket is also made out of chocolate. If he is awaken at night because of hunger, he can eat it. Then, the chocolate eaten would automatically be restored the next day.

A bit older, in intermediate school, Jimin watched idol dramas. Then he adjusted his dream accordingly. The house must be big, very big, very big. The house must be far away, at least 1,800 miles from the school. It would be best if before the front door there is a driveway overshadowed with trees that extends endlessly. It would take 30 minutes to travel and still not reach the end of the driveway. Because of this, he would have an excuse to be late to school.

In college, Jimin lived in a dormitory. Every time there was an inspection, Jimin had to clean until near dying. His waist hurt his back hurt, and it was a room no bigger than a pigeon's cage! If bigger ......

Thus, Jimin stopped dreaming about a big house without regrets.

= =

Forgive him!

For a proletariat like Jimin, the term "housemaid" certainly never appears in his head.

After graduation and moving to S City to work, each inch of land is like gold. Jimin rented a shabby apartment but still felt it was too expensive, so regularly he lamented silently: Why can't I just rent a bed?

......

Sometimes, when he borrowed magazines from colleagues, Jimin grew dizzy at seeing apartment complexes built in the style of luxurious hotels. Large windows from floor stretching all the way to ceiling, warm carpets, lovely beds and pillows ...... The most important thing is that hot water would always be available 24/7, so there is no need to do anything. After work he can go home and plops on the bed like a zombie.

For more expensive areas, all that is needed would be to ring a bell and delicious food will be delivered for free ......

Jimin daydreamed for a while, then he looked at the price – each square inch cost 5 digits ......

Silence.

Who could have guessed, all the dreams would come true.

The only disadvantage, is that in each house there is a demonic Big Boss.

Of course, all the big and little houses are "wedding gifts" from Boss, but the chocolate house is possible because of Miss Yura.

One time, Miss Yura unexpectedly discovered her brother-in-law wanted a chocolate house since he was a little boy and continually commended that it is romantic. Hence, on Jimin's birthday, she waves her hand once and calls a chef who is a chocolate expert from a top hotel to make a chocolate house taller than 1 meter to put in the Jeon's living room.

The chocolate house, that Miss Yura called on people to help her make is the best of the best. It is definitely different from the typical ones that are sold in the supermarkets. This chocolate house not only has a chimney, it also has fences, beds, blankets and there are also a white chocolate Jimin and a dark chocolate Boss.

Although the house is small so it cannot be lived in, but his wish has come true. Jimin is very touched, but because of this Miss Yura has quietly angered her brother – as if knowing something and not telling him is not bad enough, she dares to steal his priority in doing something so special for Jimin.

The consequence of Boss being unhappy is, Yura and her husband barely finish eating before being told to go home. After that, Jimin does not have time to touch his chocolate house.

After his birthday, Jimin begins to eat the chocolate house.

Firstly, is eating the superfluous Big Boss.

After that is eating the blankets.

Then break apart the fences.

On day N ......

Because too much force is used when breaking the chimney, the house collapses ...... In the end, the Jeon's cook melts the entire house, creating all types of desserts.

Just like that, the chocolate house and chocolate Boss are eaten by Jimin into his tummy, becoming a part of him forever, never disappearing.

The Diary

Jimin's favorite fruits are available in spring and summer. In March and April there are strawberries, then followed by bayberries. He likes to eat strawberries, deliciously red, fragrant and full of juice. However, eating bayberries is because of paranoia.

At that time, Jimin was in high school. That year the bayberry season arrived early. Jimin was biking home from school and saw bayberry stalls along the road, saliva drooling. At home when he asked her mom to buy them, his mom said: "It's early in the season so too expensive, let's wait a few more days to buy."

Jimin is a good child who understands his family's finance. Over ten dollars for a pound of bayberries is a luxury so he did not insist on eating them and obediently waited for the price to drop.

Doing well in high school was the important thing, so Jimin did not take this matter to heart. After some time has passed, he suddenly remembered and asked his mom: "Where are the bayberries? When are we buying them?"

His mom answered: "There are no more bayberries. The season is over."

From then on, Jimin is stubborn about bayberries.

Although not his  favourite, he always buys some when he sees them. Even in college when there was not much money to spend, but if there were bayberries, he would buy even if it cost more than ten dollars a pound. After marrying Boss, it had been a surprise to know that there is a bayberry tree in the family's backyard.

The tree is probably a few years old. The housekeeper says each year the tree yields a few hundred pounds of fruit, all the bayberries are big and juicy. The Jeon family cannot eat everything so some are made into wine while others are boxed up and given out as gifts.

From the time the bayberries can be picked, Jimin continues to eat until the end of June, not skipping a single day, eating emotionlessly. On the other hand, JK feels his teeth ache as he watches. At night when kissing him, the mouth is filled with the sweet taste of bayberries.

"Don't you feel soreness in your teeth?"

"No." Lying on his body, Jimin explains about his stubbornness and concludes, "It's true that the best thing is something we can't have. Was I too easy when I agreed to marry you?"

JK's closed eyes snap open and he scowls at him: "From the time I was little to now, I always have the best of everything."
