Misun
*Five months later*
I lay in bed, staring at Jungkook as he slept peacefully. He was down on his tummy, his face on the pillow and his arm around my waist. He seemed to smile in his sleep, making him look more adorable.
I traced the beautiful tattoos on his bare arm with my fingers. No matter how many times I saw them, they never ceased to grab my attention. It didn’t help that he adored those moments where I would just touch or kiss every piece of his tattoos.
He moved slightly, pulling me closer to him. I could not help but smile, feeling my heart swell with warmth. I giggled quietly as I let him hug me closer. I could feel his warm breath on my jaw and neck and I could not help but shiver. I ran my fingers through his thick, black hair as I removed the hair from his face.
These past five months have been truly amazing. In the beginning, it was difficult, for a lot of reasons. My body took quite some time to physically heal from the wounds that my body sustained. Besides the flash wounds, the damage in my lung and stomach had needed even more time. There were days where I found it hard to breathe and other days where it felt like I was getting constant stomach cramps. There were days where my body just hurt…as if it was in constant pain.
Jungkook was behind me for every day of pain I felt. He was there for any appointment I had. He helped me change the dressings every time they needed changing. He drove me to appointments with various doctors. He stayed with me for every physiotherapy session I had to go to, always constantly encouraging me and supporting me.
Jungkook also helped me face my fears, including going to therapy. He made me come to terms that I went through was indeed mental abuse and that I needed professional help to deal with it instead of continuously burying it deep within. He came with me for every appointment because I wanted him there. Having him there, made it feel better. It made me feel safer and, in a way, talking about it together brought us even closer. Five months of therapy have definitely helped me get better.
After three months, my body was well on the mend and Jungkook and I decided to use our savings and start exploring the world. We needed that break from the work and the hospital. We first spent some days in Busan, meeting his family which were simply amazing. They welcomed me, this time not as Jungkook’s coworker or friend, but girlfriend. His mother could not stop teasing him and every time he went red in the face. His brother also was quite the teaser, constantly passing comments that made Jungkook turn into a tomato.
After that trip, we went to New York, Paris, Rome, Vienna and now we were in San Torini which might be my favourite place yet. It’s just so beautiful here. Everything is just picturesque.
I smiled as I carefully wiggled out of Jungkook’s arms. He groaned slightly as he took my pillow and hugged that instead. I covered my mouth to stifle my giggle as I got out of bed. I shivered as I realized I was still naked after yesterday’s events.
I bit my lower lip as I reached for the white satin robe and quickly put it on. I couldn’t help but recall how yesterday we had gone out for dinner in one of the beautiful restaurants here. We had then walked around the romantic streets until we reached the hotel room.
I had barely locked the door that Jungkook had me pinned against the wall. He started kissing all over my body as he removed my clothes one by one. The more he kissed and sucked and licked and bit, the more my body reacted and within minutes, we both were naked, making slow, tender love on the bed until the early hours of the morning.
I felt myself blushing as I headed towards the balcony. I opened the door slowly, trying to not make any noise and then stepped outside in the eight o’clock sun. I closed my eyes as I felt myself stretch and welcome the sun’s warmth on my face.
Even from here, I could smell the scent of the ocean. I opened my eyes and looked at the beautiful sea that wasn’t far from the hotel. The sea seemed to sparkle as if it had glittery blue jewels covering the surface. There was a slight breeze that made me shiver slightly.
Suddenly, I felt hands wrap around my waist from behind me. I smiled as I leaned back, my back against his still naked chest. At least he was wearing shorts.
‘Good morning baby,’ he said as he kissed between my neck and shoulder. I stayed silent for a moment, enjoying his touch. I closed my eyes and leaned slightly back, wanting to feel him against me. ‘What are you doing up already?’ he asked as he seemed to squeeze me tighter.
‘I just woke up. You know how I get about wanting to explore new places,’ I said and he nodded as he turned me around. He kept staring at me with those beautiful eyes. ‘What?’ I murmured feeling my heart race a bit.
‘You’re so beautiful, baby girl. Sometimes I still can’t believe that I’m lucky enough to call you mine,’ he said as he put his hand on my cheek.
I laughed as I wrapped my arms around his neck. ‘I’m the lucky one. I found someone who never gives up on me,’ I said.
He smiled and leaned down as he crashed his lips against mine. I kissed back just as fervently. His hands travelled to my neck as he pressed slightly, making me gasp, giving him the perfect opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth.
He pulled away, leaving me breathless as he chuckled. ‘Should we go shower and go have some breakfast?’ he asked.
‘That sounds good baby,’ I said, leaning in for another kiss. He smiled into the kiss before he reached for my hand and led me to the bathroom.
He pushed me gently inside as he pushed me gently against the wall. He looked at me, almost as if he was seeing right through me. His fingers travelled to my robe as he pulled lose the little bow I had. He opened my robe and left it to slip off of me.
I watched him gulp as he looked at me once again. I could see his body react and harden. His jaw twitched slightly as he removed his own shorts.
He turned around and turned on the tap and I watched him as he tested the water. After deeming it satisfactory, he grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.
I shivered as I felt the first drops of water but I quickly found myself being kissed by Jungkook. I kissed back, savouring his touches and kisses. His hands roamed up and down my body, gently pressing his fingers in different spots. He pushed me against the wall in the shower as he kissed at my neck. He pulled slightly back as the water covered both of us. I gulped as I looked at him. This look on him did things to me.
His eyes fell on the scar on my chest. He traced it with his fingers before he lowered down to kiss it. I shivered once more as he went down to his knees. He kissed the two scars on my abdomen – slowly, carefully, almost as if to show love to my scars.
I sucked in a deep breath as he stood up and turned me around. I felt his hand on the scar on my back – the one from the fire. It was much older and very faded except for some of the skin that had never recovered. He lowered down as he peppered my back with kisses.
‘You must think I have so many scars,’ I muttered lowly but he quickly turned me around. He gave me a stern look as he shook his head.
‘Don’t babe,’ he said as he cupped my face. ‘Don’t think like that. All those scars, they don’t make you any less beautiful in my eyes. If anything, they remind me of how strong you are and I actually think they make you look sexy,’ he said with a wink. I smiled as I kissed him, our kiss growing deeper and deeper until we both started making love there.
Jungkook
I leaned against my chair as I looked at the view the restaurant gave. It was a beautiful view, especially during the night.
I could not help but smile at the memory of what happened this morning. My dear Lord, it felt so good, like every time we make love. I always knew there was something special about her, but now, after these fives months I got to call her mine, I cannot imagine my life without her. In fact, all I can imagine is a life with her. I smiled at the thought of asking her to marry me, but I also knew I had to give her time.
It took her two years and a near-death experience to accept that I loved her and she loved me. I did not want to rush anything, not with her – not with our future together.
I took out my phone and went on my messages. I smiled at the chat I had with Taehyung and Jimin. We had called the ‘Maknae Line Chat’ since the hyungs had a habit of calling us that. I scrolled through it as I reread our recent conversation.
Jimin: How are things going over wherever you are? 😊 😊
Taehyung: We’re glad you took this break and are exploring your relationship but we miss you. ❤️ ❤️
Jimin: Tae is right. The kids especially miss you a lot. They keep asking about Uncle Kooks and Auntie Misun.
Jungkook: We miss everyone too. ❤️ We even miss work but don’t worry. We’ll be back very soon.
Jungkook: There’s only a month left and then we’ll be back 😊
Jimin: I’m glad. ❤️ The team feels weird without you. ☹
Taehyung: Don’t get us wrong, the team is managing well, but you know, you two are two major pillars of the team.
Jimin: Especially Misun.
Jungkook: Oh is that so hyung huh?
Jimin: OHH COME ON!! You know what I mean Kooks. She’s the team leader!
Taehyung: She’s special and you out of all people, should know that!
Jungkook: trust me hyung, I know.
Jungkook: I keep wondering every day how I got so lucky to be able to call her mine.
Jungkook: It still feels like a dream ❤️
Jimin: You’re pretty special too JK.
Taehyung: Yeah don’t sell yourself short.
Jimin: we’re really glad your relationship is going well. We’re happy, you’re happy. ❤️ ❤️
Taehyung: You both deserve to be happy, especially after all the * you went through.
Jungkook: Thanks hyungs. Everyone is okay back home, right?
Jimin: If you’re asking about whether anyone has gotten shot or stabbed lately, yeah we’re all okay.
Taehyung: Way to be dramatic. Don’t worry Kooks. Everyone is okay here. Enjoy your last month of holiday and then hurry back home.
Jungkook: We will. I’ll TTYL. We’re off to go sightseeing. You really should visit someday.
Taehyung: Okay Kooks. Send our regards to Misun-ah ❤️ ❤️
Jimin: Stay safe 😉
I laughed at Jimin’s innuendo towards safe sex as I heard heels clicking. I looked up just as Misun sat back down after her toilet break.
‘What’s gotten you so smiley?’ she asked as she reached for my hand over the table. I could not help but feel my heart race at the fact that she was taking the initiative for these gentle touches.
‘I was rereading my conversation with Taehyung and Jimin,’ I said and she nodded.
‘Those two adore you,’ she said, making me blush a little. ‘I have loved every bit of these five months with you, but I also can’t wait to get back to work,’ she said and I nodded.
‘I know baby, it sucks that you got that suspension,’ I said but she shrugged.
‘I knew there were consequences. Chief had to do that to show that everyone has to be responsible,’ she said and I nodded.
‘And hopefully, you also learned your lesson about running into things like that,’ I said, one eyebrow raised. She smiled and nodded.
‘I definitely did. Besides, I have something more to fight for,’ she said as she gave me a wink.
‘Well, I’m glad to hear that. You’re not allowed to face danger without me,’ I said, to which she laughed. ‘Now, to the most important part of the date, dessert?’ I asked.
‘Of course,’ she said, her eyes lighting up. ‘I already know what I’m ordering. They have a special today it seems – chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and caramel,’ she said.
‘Okay, sold. We’ll take two of those then,’ I said, as I signalled to the waiter. ‘Hey babe,’ I called out as she looked at me. ‘I love you,’ I said.
‘I love you too,’ she replied, a genuine smile on her face.
