Pastel Palette ㅡ Taekook

fifty-seven

The evening passes by successfully and now Jeongguk was the first one to wake up. The sunlight peeking through the blinds annoyed him so he flutters his eyes open and the first thing he sees is Taehyung's angelic face. His lips were parted as he breathes steady and slow. Jeongguk was tempted to steal some kisses from the sleeping man but he doesn't want to disturb him; not when he's sleeping like this ㅡ so beautiful that Jeongguk is starting to question as to how he got so lucky for having someone like Taehyung. He pulls Taehyung closer while he ponders at the thought, making the latter squirm but when he finds comfort in Jeongguk's arms, his body relaxes and he then nuzzles his face on Jeongguk's bare chest.

Jeongguk decided to cuddle his lover some more, carding his fingers through Taehyung's hair while leaving light pecks on his forehead. When he looks at the clock on the bedside table, it reads 6:15 AM and both of their works start at 7:30. Jeongguk removes Taehyung's arms that were latched around him slowly, making the older whine at the sudden loss of skin contact.

"Gukkie, come back..." He mumbles, making Jeongguk coo as to how adorable it sounded despite his raspy and deep morning voice. He hushes him with a quick peck on the lips.

"Go back to sleep, baby. I'm gonna prepare breakfast for the three of us."

Taehyung hums and instantly drifts back to dreamland, but not before saying, "I love you, Gukkie." God, Jeongguk could never get tired of this.

"I love you too, my heart."

Once Jeongguk was out the bedroom, he first checks on Storm, not really surprised when the little boy is now sitting on his bed, tiny fists rubbing his drooping eyes. Jeongguk smiles and lets his presence be acknowledged by clearing his throat.

"Daddy, carry..." Storm mumbles sleepily, arms instantly reaching up towards Jeongguk. The latter scoops his son to his embrace and gives him his morning kiss on the forehead.

"Good morning, buddy. Did you sleep well?"

"Morning, daddy. Yep, I didn't have nightmares!"

"Aw, that's great, love. Wanna watch cartoons and play with Tannie as I go make breakfast?"

Storm's face lights up at the mention of the puppy's name and he nods frantically, making Jeongguk pinch his flushed cheeks which still had marks from his pillow.

Jeongguk settles Storm down the carpet with a sleeping Yeontan beside him. The puppy, however, seems to detect that there were persons around him so he drags his sleepy body on Storm's lap, letting the kid pet him and play with his fur. Jeongguk then proceeds inside the kitchen to cook breakfast for his family.
