Under the Cherry Blossoms (Taejin/Kookjin)

Chapter 32. Stability

AUTHOR'S POV

=== AFTER 2 MONTHS ===

Warm arms snaking around Jin's tiny waist startled him. He was busy checking on the construction of the new branch of Destiny Café in Gwanghwamun. With high end contractors, it was indeed a miracle that the café was in its finishing touches in just less than three months. The other two branches in Yeouido and Gangnam also had the same progress.

"Jungkook, we're in public." Jin warned his boyfriend who did not seem to mind about public display of affection.

Resting on Jin's shoulder while swaying their pressed bodies side to side, Jungkook simply hummed unbothered. He then began tracing Jin's neck, jawline and ears with soft kisses, which made the latter shudder.

"Jungkook--" The beauty whisper-yelled.

The unbothered boyfriend breathily responded. "I don't care, love. Besides, I want them to know that you are mine." He was referring to the civil engineer, architect and interior designer who kept on checking on Jin, while doing their tasks.

Jin shook his head at the stubbornness of his man. So, he opted to use the statement which can easily change Jungkook's mind. "If you will not remove your arms around me, I will put you on timeout tonight."

Upon hearing the word timeout, Jungkook hastily removed his arms around his lover. Jin smiled at his boyfriend's cute panic response.

At first, Jungkook pouted. Then, he curled his lips into a bunny smile. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Jin lovingly. He mouthed the words, I - LOVE -YOU

I- LOVE- YOU- TOO. Jin also mouthed his reply.

A lot of things have changed in two months. Ever since Jin said "I love you" to Jungkook and made love with him, their relationship became more stable.

Jungkook has become more romantic and affectionate. It was as if he was overflowing with love. He replaced the Tiger lilies with purple Heliotropes which symbolize eternal love and devotion. He continued giving Jin sweet messages and cards. There was a time that he surprised Jin in his café, bringing a guitar and singing 10,000 hours. Most of the times, he sings while gently stroking Jin's hair as they lie in bed after making love. He was also consistent in taking Jin to unique and romantic dates. He even cooked for some of their dates.

Another noticeable change was the absence of arguments they used to have. They bicker sometimes, but mostly on trivial things. Jungkook rarely got jealous. When he did, he was more composed with his emotions. They have reached the level of intimacy where they become more tolerant and more understanding with each other's lapses.

The only slight problem would be dealing with Jungkook's libido. After having a taste of Jin, he wanted it daily, even multiple times a day. They probably have blessed each corner of Jungkook's penthouse with their holy cum. He was not a complete maniac though. He never forced Jin to have sex. If Jin is tired or does not feel like doing it, Jungkook always respects him.

"Love, let's check on the other sites." Jin grabbed Jungkook's hand and dragged him to their car.

Jungkook simply giggled and followed his boyfriend's lead.

*****

The tiring and busy day did not stop the two lovers in expressing their love on the comfort of the soft sheets.

After making love, Jungkook sang again his favorite line from the song 10 000 hours while staring at the man he plans to love for the rest of his life.

"I'd spend ten thousand hours and ten thousand more. Oh, if that's what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours. And I might never get there, but I'm gonna try. If it's ten thousand hours or the rest of my life. I'm gonna love you."

Every time Jungkook sang that line, Jin turns into a blushing mess. The whole place gets filled with rainbows and butterflies. He can even imagine his boyfriend's eyes shape into sparkling hearts.

"You really love that song. Don't you?" Jin tapped Jungkook's nose with his finger.

In truth, he was curious why his boyfriend loves that song and why he kept on singing that line to him.

Giggling like a lovestruck idiot, Jungkook smiled widely. "Yes, I love the song specifically that part because it speaks so much about us."

"What about it?"

"There are still so much to discover about each other. If the time comes that we fight due to things beyond our comprehension, I'm willing to spend my whole lifetime trying to understand your heart... our hearts. That's how much I love you."

"You're so cheesy." Jin smirked.

"But I know you love it." Jungkook smirked back.

"Yes, I do. I love it and I love you." Jin gave his romantic lover a quick peck on the lips.

During the early stages of their relationship, Jin was shy and was hesitant to express his love to Jungkook. Now, he spoils him with a lot of 'I love you's because that's what his man deserves.

"Love, come with me in my business trip to Europe. Please." Jungkook pleaded for the nth time already. He was planning of inserting dates in his business trip.

As much as Jin wanted to, he had to be more logical at this point. They were in a critical stage in their business venture. Everything should be in order. "Love, you know I can't and I shouldn't. I have to check on the coffee shops' progress regularly. The opening of our new branches is scheduled next month."

"Just one week. We can ask Hoseok to do the job or Namjoon hyung can do it."

"Jungkook, we are business partners. One of us should stay to supervise. Hoseok is busy managing the main branch and your cousin is also probably busy with other transactions. End of conversation."

Once his lover declared the end of conversation, Jungkook knew he had to accept his defeat. He had to be the bigger person. And this is one way to avoid further arguments.

"Okay, I get it.," he sighed. "Since you won't be going with me in my business trip, I hope you can fulfill this other request."

"What would that be?"

"Move in with me. When I get back, I want you to live with me here in my penthouse."

Jin laughed at the request. "Yah!I've been spending most of my time here. Basically, it's moving in with you already."

"But it's not always. There are times that you don't stay here, especially when you feel tired or you're not game for sex" Jungkook whined. "I want you to be with me always. We don't need to have sex daily. I just want to see your face first thing in the morning and the last thing before I go to sleep. I want to take care of you when you feel tired. I'll give you free massages. I'll cook for you or anything we could think of. Please move in with me."

Who could resist those innocent doe eyes? Those sweet words? No one.

Jin could no longer resist the charm of the love of his life. So, he nodded. "Okay, I will move in with you."

This affirmation sparked an excitement for the muscular man. He squeezed Jin in a tight hug and showered him with feathery kisses. "Thank you, love. If you need to move in some of your things, just tell me. I'll assign someone who will assist you."

"Okay." Jin beamed his adorable hamster smile.

The smile was enough to stir the whipped Jungkook. "Baby, one more round?"

A slap hit his arm. He was also met with a pouty boyfriend. "No more. We still have a lot of tasks to accomplish tomorrow. Let's sleep."

Jungkook kicked the sheets, like a child in tantrum. "Okay!"

Unable to convince his cute baby hamster for another round of lovemaking, he settled with enveloping him in a warm embrace. He kissed his hair and  whispered, "Good night, love. Sweet dreams. Dream of me, please."

Jin chuckled and buried his head into Jungkook's neck. "I will. Good night, love."
