Tae's POV

I nervously rake fingers through my hair as I sit quietly. I rise and start to return to Kookie and my phone rings. I smile seeing who it is.

"Hi Tae! Merry Christmas!

"Merry Christmas to you too Yeona! How are you?"

"I'm doing well! I've had a great holiday unbelievably. My daughter is happy, and I've been enjoying my personal pamper time. I also met a very nice doctor at the hospital, and he invited me over for Christmas. Wasn't that sweet?" Her voice is near giddy, and I am happy for her. Yeona works very hard and is a great mother. She deserves to be happy.

"That's great Yeona. So, is this serious?"

'Serious! I just met him two days ago. However, I think I'd like it to be serious. He's very nice and very handsome. So, tell me how you are doing. Has Jungkook returned to his evil ways? She laughs and I go silent. After my call with my father, I don't want to be reminded about who my Kookie was.

"Tae did I say something wrong? Are you okay?"

"Oh Yeona! So much has happened." I tell her the entire story with me and Kookie. I even tell her about Needy Tae and Jealous Tae.

"I have no idea why these versions of me are showing up. I've never been a needy or jealous person."

She then burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing at my pain Yeona?" I pout crossing my arms across my chest.

"Tae, I have a diagnosis for your problem. Do you want to hear it?" Her voice is playful, and I am intrigued.

"What? Tell me!" I realize how eager I am to talk with someone I trust about me and Kookie. It is a relief, and she is my good friend.

"My friend, you are in love."

"What!?"

"Yes, I recognize it. Needy Tae and Jealous Tae came about because you care for him very much. We all have needy and jealous parts to us. Yours were triggered because you love Jeon Jungkook and from what you said I think he may be in love with you too. Aww, that's so adorable and I'm so happy for you Tae. Look, you are starring in your own Very Jolly Christmas movie." She laughs again as my head starts spinning.

"What? Love?" The more I think about what she is saying the more sense it makes. I never felt jealous or hurt because I had never been in love with the other men I dated. When it was over it was over. At the most I felt disappointment. I threw myself into my work and quickly moved on.

"Tae, I need to get back to my friend. As you know we will probably be flying to LA in a few more days. This will give you some time alone to clarify your relationship with Jungkook. I will see you soon my friend."

"Bye Yeona. I will see you soon." Her call came at the exact time I needed it.

I walk out to the dining area and Kookie is in deep conversation with his father. What a wonderful, unexpected Christmas gift he has received. It's a Christmas miracle. I stand in the entry way and watch him. My father's voice is in my head, but I know he is a good man. I am not wrong about him and I'm in love with Jeon Jungkook. Fuck, the stakes just really got higher as did that cliff.

I rejoin Kookie as he and his father are ending their conversation. Kookie slides his arm around my waist as I slide into my chair next to him. He tells his father that our private chef has prepared us a spectacular Christmas dinner. He looks at me and speaks so lovingly.

My heart is warmed so thoroughly and, as he touches me, my heart pounds for him. I say goodbye to his father as he ends the call. He immediately stands and picks me up bridal style spinning me as I giggle like a lunatic.

"Teehee!"

"Oh Tae, I can't believe what just happened. I have my father back and it's because of you. You jumped off the cliff with me. I was so scared. I-I feel happy and so hopeful." He is talking rapidly and bubbling over with excitement.

"Really, Kookie! You're happy." He then lowers me to my feet and stops spinning me. He pulls me close.

"Of course, I'm happy. Are you happy Tae?

"Yes, Kookie I'm very happy. We kiss very passionately as I release all my love for him into my kiss. I'm not sure if he loves me but his passion is as strong as mine. I feel it. Regardless of who he was before he got on flight 1225 to LA, he is now my man, and I will love him and be with him.

We have an amazing Christmas dinner with special holiday Korean and American dishes. We talk about our wonderful day as the sun sets. We share our highlights and laugh.

After dessert we retire to the living area with a bottle of wine and gaze at the moon as it illuminates the powdery white snow and the mountains. What an amazing Christmas we have had together.

"Tae, you said Yeona called and that her Christmas has been good." His voice continues to buzz with excitement. He is too precious. "You have not said anything about your call with your father. How was it and how is he doing? I hope I can meet him when we decide to return to South Korea. I have a lot of respect for him and how he has built a great business." He pauses and waits for me to answer and suddenly I am the one that has lost my words. I am the one who is now responsible for the long awkward pause. I open my mouth, but the words do not come. I watch as his bright smile slowly goes down as does the light in his beautiful eyes.

Jungkook's POV

I ask Tae about his call with his father. I was so excited talking about my call with my father that I felt I have monopolized the conversation. I know he loves his father, and their relationship is important to him. I wait to see his smile expand and hear his cute little giggle, yet these do not come. My chest tightens and I simply watch as a part of him slips away.

"Tae?" Is all that I can whisper. Is he sad? Does he miss him? Or did his father say something that was hurtful? Oh God, did he tell him about us, and he hates me? This is not like my Tae. I take a deep breath and trust him. I love him so much and I will be patient.

"Kookie, I-I'm sorry. At the end of our call, it was great but, uh he was not happy about me saying I liked you."

"You like me? Is that it Tae? We just like each other?" I feel a cold sharp pain in my heart.

"No Kookie you're my man. I will be with you. Regardless of what he or anyone says. I just did not want to share his negativity and see you hurt." My heart drops into my belly. It was as I had feared.

"Tae you are scaring me. I don't want to lose you."

He hugs me tight and presses his head into my shoulder. He then lifts his head slightly as I feel his warm breath on my ear, and he whispers to me.

"Kookie, losing me is impossible. Because I am in love with you." I immediately go still as he has just jumped off a cliff. My eyes close tightly and I feel the burn of tears behind my eyelids.

"I will not keep secrets from you. My father warned me that you would hurt me and leave me Kookie. He said you were a terrible person. I know that you are no longer the man he speaks of. You are my special someone as promised. My heart belongs to you regardless of how you feel about me."

He has given me himself fully and risked it all. I will do the same for him without pause. I pull back as I need to see his eyes gorgeous eyes. They are loving and alive. I lightly lay my open palm on his face and whisper as I can barely hold myself together.

"I love you, Tae. I believe I have loved you from the first moment I saw you. Before my Awakening, I fought it with harsh words and inappropriate behavior. You had an instant effect on me that I could not comprehend. I did not understand it and hated it. But my Awakening occurred, and my heart and mind expanded in ways I never knew possible. You have taken me body and soul. I cannot and will not see my life without you, my love."

We stare at each other's eyes and there are no words, just the sound of our breath. Quick and heavy. My lips find his and I gently push my tongue into the wet heat of his mouth. Slowly a hot passion grows as we become ravenousness for each other. I slip off his jacket as he pulls off my turtleneck sweater. We slowly ignite as I unbutton his shirt and he lowers his hand and massages my hard cock as it aches for him.

Mmm, I moan to his touch. His chest is exposed, and I hunger for his hardened nipple in my mouth. However, he hungers too for me in his mouth and pushes me against the couch firmly and drops to his knees between my legs. I gasp as he quickly unfastens my pants, yanking them down.

"Fuck, baby," is all I am able to say as my dick pops out. Before I can adjust, he has swallowed me whole, and I can only fall back and let him take me. His mouth is incredibly hot and wet as he sucks me in and out rapidly.

He slides his other hand downward and beings gently massaging my nuts as I toss my head back and close my eyes receiving all the pleasure, he is giving me.

I hear him moan as sucks me and looks at me as if I am the tastiest of morsels. God he's hot as he alternates between licking and sucking my dick and my balls.

"Shit, mmm. Yessss baby, yesss! Damn you suck it so good." Watching him suck me is too exciting, and I close my eyes, or I will soon spill into his mouth. I don't want him to stop, and it takes incredible strength to gently pull him away.

I quickly lift him and carry him off to his bed. As I move through the grand suite, he is attacking my neck as I moan loudly. He is driving me wild.

"Kookie get the lube. I want you in me now. I need you to fuck me. Please Kookie." He is hot and needy.

I lay him on his back and quickly pull off his pants and find a surprise waiting for me. He is wearing some tight fitted red lace panties.

"Fuck, goddamn Tae!" I stand and admire him as my cock stands at attention. He licks his lips and purrs like a cat, and I am totally undone. I want to play with his sexy body, but I can see that he is in a serious way as his dick needs to be released. He has made a request and I will fulfill it by giving him what he requests and needs. My stiff dick in him.

I reach for the lube that we have used several times for the last few days, nights, and mornings.

I play with his nipples for a short while as he squirms. Slowly I grasp hold of his waist band lowering his beautiful red lace underwear as I pepper his flat belly with soft wet kisses.

As I remove his underwear, I gently spread his sexy thighs. I give him the lube and hold out one hand and he gives me a small amount. I then squeeze lube onto his hand, and he immediately starts to lube my hard dick. I moan while working two lubed fingers into his tight hole. I finger fuck him just as a tease of what is to come. I lift his legs and rest them onto my shoulders.

As I withdraw my two fingers he moans. "You want my cock. Take it." Immediately he follows my command and grasps hold of my stiff dick.

He moans with lust filled eyes as he presses my dick to his tight hole. His body opens to me as I lean forward and slowly fill him completely.

"Love me baby," he whispers in such a sensual hot deep voice. I start to move as we quickly find ourselves on another level. We quickly build to fast hard strokes as our moans fill the room.

"Yes Kookie...fuck...me...mmm."

I selfishly don't want to stop. As we both get close, I change positions. I then wrap him in the bed sheet and carry his hot ass to the main living area and fuck him on the floor next to the Christmas tree. He is wild with pleasure as am I.

"Mmm baby, I need to come... Please..." He screams as I am pounding him from behind. I slide my hand up and down his hard dick repeatedly banging him hard.

"Mmm, I'm coming" he shouts as I don't let up as he spills his come onto the sheet. I then reposition him on top of me and he rides my dick hard and quickly comes again. God, I love the sensitivity of his body, but I can stand no more as he continues bouncing up and down on my dick.

"Fuuuck! Yessss. Mmm!" I moan loudly as I spill my come deep into him and he shouts and shares in my orgasm with his own. It is a beautiful thing as we collapse together. I tell him to stay there as I rush into the other bedroom and return with pillows, and thick fluffy bedding. I pull him into my arms as we gaze into each other's eyes under the bright and colorful lights of the Christmas tree. For the first time in my life, I believe the unbelievable. I am in love and loved.
