27 - Pace

Seokjin still cannot believe that Jungkook confessed his love to him. He wonders if he's able to fall in love again after losing Yoongi but Jungkook convinced him.

He's too lost in his thought that he didn't realize Jungkook walked behind him and startled him, making Seokjin surprised that he accidentally throws the wooden ladle he holds flying right into Jungkook's arms.

"Ouch"

Seokjin gasps, he's not used with another presence proximity close to him in the house. He's usually alone without Jungkook around before this. He rushes to his husband, watching the face frowned with pain.

"I'm sorry I'm too surprised you're suddenly here"

he caresses the arms, not noticing the fake smile on Jungkook's face.

"Is it hurt? Is it that bad?"

He keeps fondling Jungkook's arms worries if it will swell. He looks at Jungkook's face and his arms back and forth.

Jungkook can't control his expression, Seokjin looks so worried his forehead creased, his eyes focused on the arms. At one point, he fakes the pain to tease his husband more.

Seokjin pokes at one part that makes Jungkook slightly grunts. It worries him more

"Ouch. That part hurts, slowly"

"Oh no"

he gasps wider, did he throw it that hard?
He wonders.

"Where did it hurts? Here?"

He asks Jungkook while slowly massaging the arms. Avoiding the hurting part afraid it will be swelling more. The other just hums, agreeing with the touch.

"This too, hurts"

Seokjin follows the direction of Jungkook's hand before noticing its on his mouth. His ears red, he can feel his whole face hot. Jungkook juts his lips harder, his index finger pointing right at the lips whining that it hurts, smiling excitedly able to tease his husband.

"Baby, here it hurts too" Jungkook urges.

"Jungkook, yah"
"You're faking the pain right?"

He pokes on the arms. A bit harder he guesses. Already pouting with the tease. Cheeks flushing red with shyness.

"No It hurts, come on try it so you know it really needs it's medicine"

he looks down at his husband who is now in beet red, hands fiddles with the hem of his shirt.

Seokjin knows Jungkook will never stop as long as he doesn't get what he wants so he tip toes slightly, hands bracing on Jungkook's arms before kissing him fast. His ears turn more red. Too embarrassed with the situation.
He quickly lets go and runs away to hide the blush. His heart feels full, blooming with excitement and bliss.

Jungkook only laughs at his husband's antics. It's real. It's domestic. It's love.

Seokjin is just too cute, too precious he hopes he can make him happy eternally. They are slowly building the relationship, working more on the communication, trusts, actions and loves. Jungkook is grateful Seokjin is willing to accept him, to forgive him and continue their marriage.

He vows he won't betray their love again.

*******

They are resting on their couch on a lazy Saturday evening after they had their lunch. Seokjin cooked chicken stew, japchae, gamja jeon with variety of side dishes with Jungkook's helps, feeling proud seeing his husband ate them deliciously.

After they made up, they often spend time together to know each other better. Seokjin loves that, he loves how they are slowly but surely building on the foundation to a healthy relationship.

It's phase by phase. Jungkook is not a bad guy and he tried so hard to understand that, the other was caught in his own emotion and rage that made him decided to act recklessly towards him.

"Jungkook"

he begins to talk while stroking his husband's hair. Jungkook is now resting his head on his lap.

"Hmmm"

"Can we visit mom and dad tomorrow? It's been so long since I don't see them"

He asks his husband who's eyes is shutting close drowning with the soft touches of Seokjin's hands.

Jungkook is slightly shocked, after he got angry with his mom and dad he refused to meet them, the bits of anger and disappointment still linger in his mind but seeing his husband's hopeful face, he knows it was fate.

It was fate that caused him to sick, it was fate that allowed him to receive Yoongi's heart, it was fate that introduced him to Seokjin. And his parents are the mediator of that.

He sits up, seeing Seokjin's hesitant face. If it's not because of his parents, he will never meet Seokjin, he will never get married to him, feeling the indescribable surge of love, appreciating how beautiful this person in front of him.

Jungkook holds Seokjin's hands and he nods

"Okay, let's visit them tomorrow. I will bring you there."

he kisses the other's forehead, easing the creases on it.

Seokjin looks relief, he's actually afraid of asking Jungkook as sometimes Jungkook's past actions still replay in his mind and he hesitates to voice out about that.

As if he can smell the nervousness, Jungkook pats his cheeks

"I'm sorry that I forbade you to meet them before, I'm sorry that I got angry at you for contacting mom and dad. I was childish, I was selfish back then but tell me anything you wanted to do, I promise I will try to fulfil it for you"

his husband's cheeks feel so soft on his hand. Seokjin smiles wide. He understands Jungkook is trying.

"Thank you. I'm not asking much just please treat me well Jungkook. I don't think I can handle pain anymore."

He wants to cry, heart suddenly feeling heavy. If Jungkook hurts him one more time he doesn't know how he will react then. It's difficult stitching up his broken heart piece by piece.

Jungkook shuts his mouth by kissing him. Wanted to stop the tears that already brimming in his eyes, wanted to soothe the pain that he caused.

"I'm sorry Jin, I promise you won't get hurt anymore. I promise you."

I'm sorry I can't tell you about this heart yet. I'm sorry

Seokjin looks small in his arms, he hugs the body tight in his embrace.
Seokjin's tears fall down his cheeks wetting Jungkook's shoulder, he's grown to love Jungkook as days passed. He wishes this Jungkook will never change anymore.

He doesn't realise when did he pass out on Jungkook's embrace, feeling so light and full. His worries gone, leaving him with only loves and reliefs.

ㄱㅅ
Slowly but surely. They are building their relationship in slow pace. Seokjin is strong but Jungkook uncovers his real feelings and he's not ashamed to show it to him. To break down in front of Jungkook. Afterall it's Jungkook who hurts him the most though. 😏
