  Jungkook shuffles in his bed, feeling something nudging him from his sleep gently. He holds back a groan in case it's Joy, and when he cracked his eyes open and turned to look at her, he realized he was right.

  He stares at her worriedly, as she looked like she couldn't sleep much. At least it wasn't morning sickness keeping her up this time. "Kookie," she pouted. "I'm hungry."

  He raised his brows when he heard that. Joy hadn't been hungry in weeks, he was quite concerned. He sits up immediately, perhaps a bit too quickly. But he was so eager to get her eating something. Typically, any time he got her food she would throw it up. He was glad she was finally craving something now, because it meant she would at least want to eat most of her food.

  He leans over to turn his lamp on, it emitted a warm glow over the bed and delicately tracing her features more. She definitely didn't sleep much. She has her hand on her bump, rubbing it gently. "What food do you want, jagi?"

  She hums and bites her plump lips as she thinks. "Something spicy- wait, no. Something sweet. Definitely something sweet. I want peaches."

  He chuckled at how cute she was, already throwing the blanket off his legs. "Peaches?" He asked to be sure. She nodded, looking absolutely certain as he pulled his long sleeve shirt on. Jungkook ruffles his hair before placing a beanie on his mop of hair, stepping into his slippers and grabbing his wallet. He walks around the bed and presses a kiss to her head.

  "Alright baby, I'll find you peaches. Try to sleep okay?" He pats her head, which was sort of an excuse to feel her puffy hair. Since getting pregnant, she claimed she felt too hot with her bonnet and settled for her scarf instead, revealing some of her soft, neat twists. He'd never admit how much he enjoyed touching it.

  She nods tiredly, rubbing her bump and watching him leave with a face mask on. She shuts her eyes as she waits, a little impatient.

  Thirty minutes later she opened her eyes to see her husband walking back in with a bag. She sits up, smiling widely and even clapping her hands in excitement. Jungkook chortles at her cuteness, "I could only find canned peaches, if that's okay-" he had taken it out to show her, and Joy immediately reached for it.

  He didn't think she was that hungry, she almost snatched it from his hand, and he was pretty sure she would eat her peaches with her bare hands if he wasn't quick enough. Joy pouts when she can't pull the tab to open it. "Hold on, jagi. Let me get you a fork." He honestly didn't think she was willing to eat straight from the can. He was glad to have gotten a few of them.

  He made sure to be quick about it, she'd never looked so impatient to eat as she was now. He jogs downstairs and pulls out a fork for her to eat with. He heads back upstairs with it, Joy curled up against her pillow as she was waiting.

  He easily opens the can and hands her the fork, Joy eagerly grabbing it and the can with both hands. She grins gratefully, her expression similar to that of a child. She skews a wet, juicy peach slice with the tines of her fork, pulling it out and taking a bite.

  "Thank you, Kookie." She beamed.

  Since that night Joy has been hooked on peaches. She had at least a whole can a day, and if not, then she was eating peach candy. Jungkook bought her peach ice cream, since she was craving ice and peaches at once.

  Even now, she was lying back on the couch, catching up on the latest drama as she shoveled heaps of her frozen treat into her mouth. She barely noticed his presence, the bowl balanced on the peak of her belly.

  "Kookie!" She cheered. "You're home early!" Whenever Joy had her peaches she was chipper and happy as can be. Jungkook forgot to buy more once and Joy literally bawled her eyes out until she had another slice in her mouth.

  She moves the bowl aside and starts to push herself up. "Ani, ani, you don't need to get up, baby." He waved his hand dismissively, but Joy was already on her feet. She's gotten a lot of energy since the start of her second trimester. She pulls him in for a tight hug, her arms wrapped around his neck. He felt her belly poking him.

  He supposed she's been cuddly, too. Not necessarily clingy, but she was showing more physical affection. He wraps his free hand around her to squeeze her back. She sure had a grip on him, pregnancy strength was a real thing. He could barely breathe.

  He lets her pull away, not wanting to potentially upset his wife by pulling from a hug before she was ready. Her emotions were on constant overdrive, after all. Joy gasps, smiling wide when she sees the convenience store grocery bag. "You got me more peaches!" She squeals.

  He chuckles, Joy taking the bag from him and waddling over to the kitchen, forgetting about her ice cream as she puts the cans away, amongst a few others.

  "I'm starting to think you're addicted to peaches." He called, leaning down to grab her bowl, placing it in the freezer so that it wouldn't melt completely.

  "They're really good, Kookie. You sure you don't want any?" Of course he was tempted to eat some too, the smell was constant around him now. But they were reserved to satisfy her cravings, he didn't want to take that from her.

  "I'm good, jagi, they're yours." She smiles at him, her glow seemed so prominent. She fondly rubbed her bump, it was poking out noticeably, but certainly it wasn't big just yet.

  "Are you feeling something?" He wondered, excitement igniting in his gut when she nodded. "Just flutters."

  JK placed his open palm on her tummy, which was soft and smooth. "Aww, still not ready to kick yet, hm?" He cooed at her bump.

  "You'll feel it soon," she assured, "let's make dak juk, Kookie. I really want some."

  "Anything for you, jagi." He starts to wash his hands thoroughly, Joy following suit.

  Once the food was done, and the couple was eating at their dining table, Joy was satisfied. She stares at an empty spot at the dining table, her husband follows her gaze. "What?"

  "When is it a good time to buy a high chair?" She pondered aloud. Jungkook hummed as he thought about it.

  "Well, we don't need one until the baby is at least a few months old... maybe we can get one later?" He worded his statement carefully, just in case he irritated her by saying it was too soon.

  "Okay," was all she said. Jungkook felt relieved. "Do you want more, Kookie? I can get you more." She insisted, already standing up and grabbing his bowl to refill it. She didn't have to ask to know that his day has been tiring and she knows her man's appetite very well.

  "Thanks, jagiya. You're so sweet." Much like a peach. As a matter of fact, Jungkook decided that would be her new nickname.

  She returned and handed his bowl back, taking her seat across from him again. "Is it good, peach?" He asked, smirking to himself.

  He noticed red tint on her ears, Joy shyly nodded. She always acted bashful when he called her nicknames. JK holds back a laugh at how cute she was being.
