Kookie and I welcome in the new year with Yea, Song and Yeona. We have a splendid time and talk about how our lives have changed in just a week. Song and Yea will soon see her daughter and welcome their new grandchild. Yeona has meet a new man and accepted a new job. And Kookie and I have found each other. I cannot believe that he will soon be my husband. Insanity.

Kookie and I start our first day of the new year with some hot playful sex. Several hours later we realize that nourishment would be a good idea. Our Chef makes us a fabulously delicious lunch that we enjoy as we take in the amazing snowy mountain view. Alaska, while unexpected, is gorgeous and we will miss its beauty.

Following lunch, I call mom and dad in LA and I tell them about our engagement. Mom expresses her happiness for me, but I can hear the hesitancy in dad's voice. Something is wrong. Dad is always open and accepting. He congratulates me and Kookie, but I hear sadness and disappointment in his voice. Dad trusts me and he is always my biggest cheerleader. My heart drops a bit as we end our call.

After the call, Kookie leaves the room to get his laptop and clear away our lunch dishes.

I tell myself that dad doesn't know Kookie, and it will be okay, yet my heart hurts. After the call, mom calls me back without dad and tells me that my father in South Korea called her and dad and told them that Kookie was not a good person. Mom tells me she trusts me and to give dad time. Once he meets Kookie, she knows that he will realize he's a good man.

"Tae-tae your dad loves you so much. Do you believe that?"

"Yes, mom I do. But Kookie is my special someone. I just know it."

"I know he is Tae-tae. I think your dad does too, but he's afraid that you will be hurt. You are his baby boy. Again, give him time."

"Okay, mom but I feel very sad right now."

"I know Tae-tae. You don't have to be alone in your sadness anymore. You have someone special to help carry that sadness with you. A partner. Do you understand Tae-tae?" I nod, wipe away a tear and thank her.

Kookie walks into the room as I try to conceal my upset with a false smile, and he sees right through it. Needy Tae is resting after a busy night of performance on his trampoline and is too tired to care.

"Tae what happened?" Kookie says as he rushes to my side. I lower my head and cover my face with my hands and softly sob.

"Tae, tell me what happened. I walked out of the room for ten minutes and you were laughing and talking with your mom and dad. Now you are upset." He lifts my chin and wipes away a tear with his thumb.

"Father called mom and dad and said terrible things about you Kookie! I don't like it! Why can't he just be happy for me and stop trying to control everything! He makes me so angry! Dad thinks you might hurt me." He wraps me in his arms and pulls me close. I press the side of my face against his chest and feel comforted and safe in his embrace

"Tae, they are just scared that you are making a bad decision." Kookie speaks in a slow and gentle voice. "Remember, just because we are excited and overjoyed about our marriage, it does not mean everyone will be. You, my dear, are their child. They are struggling with giving you over to a man you met a week ago. And a man with a bad reputation. We just met. It's outrageous and foolish to others. Tae we're risk takers and we broke the rules. This is a big deal for them. Sweetheart I think you have to be careful about not controlling them." I pull back and look at him with a surprised expression.

"Kookie what do you mean? Are you suggesting that I'm being controlling?"

"Yes, Tae that is what I am saying. Let me explain. You have an expectation that they should react in a certain way. That they should be happy and excited when you're marrying a stranger with a bad reputation."

"I got that part and please stop saying it." I say with a bit of frustration.

"Sweetie, I'm just telling the truth. You want to control how they should feel." He then chuckles as my eyes go wide.

"Kookie why are you laughing at me?" I pout and cross my arms across my chest. He starts to pepper my face with kisses as I trying to push him away.

"Come here." He says pulling me close. "You are the most precious thing ever and I love you." He then playfully nudges me as I continue to pout. "My love, this is new to us and everyone around us. Trust me, I will win them all over in time. It's a key part of my mission."

"What is your mission Kookie?"

"Making you happy."

"Teehee." I toss my arms around him and now it's my turn to pepper him with kisses, as he laughs and pretends to push me away but quickly gives in. Our playfulness quickly gets heated and we soon find ourselves having another lovemaking session on the floor right in front of our magnificent view.

Later that evening I join Kookie for a video call with his father. Kookie tells him about our engagement, and he is moved to tears. It was a beautiful moment. I thought this might be an uneasy moment for Kookie, but it was not. He has become so connected to his father over a short period. It is apparent that he loves and accepts us.

"That's right son, you have found your soulmate. Don't you dare let him get away." Kookie's father laughs as he dries his eyes. I am so excited for us that my heart pounds.

"Father, we don't have a date set yet, but I hope that you will stand with me as I marry Tae. It would mean a great deal to me." Kookie says in a quiet voice as if he is fearful of his father's response. His father lightly covers his mouth with his hand conveying his shock.

"Bunny, I have no right to ask to be included. But from the moment you mentioned you proposed to Tae, I was hoping to be there with you. It will be one the happiest moments of my life, to stand with my son as you marry your forever love." The moment is so special that we all are a teary sobbing mess. Watching Kookie and his father inflates my hope for my relationships with dad and my father in South Korea.

Two days later we board our plane to Los Angeles. We are excited to see Yeona, Song and Yea again. I'm seated in seat 2B holding onto my man's hand as we take off. Kookie shares in my excitement. In a few hours we will be in LA and start our new life.

"Sweetheart I'd like a drink. I haven't seen Yeona in a while." I reach up to press the call light button and Kookie gently takes my hand and kisses it. I'm a bit surprised as I look over to him. His eyes say everything as he slowly runs his tongue across his upper lip. He unfastens his seat belt and leans over giving me deep passionate kiss. Forcefully he sucks my tongue, and he devours my mouth. Before releasing me, he places my hand on his stiff cock as my breath immediately hitches. Fuck. Sexy kitten Tae has quickly awakened as I release a soft moan.

"Mmm."

Next, he places his hand on my crotch and gives me a gentle squeeze and I quickly rise.

"Kookie, we cannot do anything here. Well not much. Maybe some hand jobs but we have to be quiet. The others are on the other side of the curtain.

He leans over and starts sucking on my neck as I toss my head back and let out a soft groan.

He lifts his head for a moment. "That means that you'll have to be quiet." He then returns to sucking on my neck.

"Mmm, Kookie."

"Baby, you need to be inducted into the mile high club." He says in the sexiest voice as I freeze.

"What? Is that a real thing? Fucking in flight?"

"I think so. Never done it but were going to do it now." His voice is firm as he tells me his certain plan.

"No Kookie. It's too risky. What about Yeona?" Abruptly he stops and I whimper to the loss of his hot mouth on me as well as his hand on my hard dick.

"What? I thought I was marrying a risk taker. What happened to my fiancé that released all those bunnies?" He has me there, and joy and heat take over me.

"Teehee." He then returns his hand and works my very stiff dick with the just the right touch.

"Baby, I told Yeona to not disturb us for at least an hour. We have our own compartment here," he says as he unfastens my pants. "I want you to come hard at 20,000 feet in the sky."

"Shit!" I don't know why but that is the sexiest thing I've ever heard. I don't resist. I just relax and ease my seat back and allow him to disrobe me slowly as his fingertips heat up my body. Our confinements are tight, but he manages to do the sexiest striptease ever. God his body is hot. I can't get enough of his muscles and rock-hard defined abs.

He takes a small tube of lube from his pocket, as I gather that he had been planning this hot assault. I love it and I love him. He slides to his knees completely naked and sucks me off so wonderfully as I bite my lip hard trying to conceal my moans. It is not easy but incredibly sexy. We are sneaking and it is thrilling. The thought that there are others like 10 feet away is so hot.

Just when I've had enough, he lays back in his reclining chair.

"Now come ride your man's dick."

"Mmm, yes."

He slowly glides me in place as I moan, sliding onto his rock-hard cock while I cling onto him. I start to bounce up and down as my pace quickens. He grabs onto my hip and raises his hip as he thrusts and drills into me hard, again and again. It is quite a unique experience that is wonderfully intense and pleasurable.

"Oh God that's good baby. Fuck me harder," I whisper. He feels amazing as my moans turn into grunts. We fuck and rock each other as we are tightly wound together. As he continues to plunge in and out, he wraps his hand gently around my dick and strokes me until I come. I press my mouth to his ear and release a slow and deep moan.

"Oh fuck, Tae I'm coming" he whispers, as the heat of his breath is so sexy, I feel another climax quickly build.

"Mmm yes, baby let's come together." I groan and am immediately swept away by a powerful orgasm. As I release, he follows right behind me and pumps all of his hot cum into me. We stay together for a few minutes and then sneak off into the small bathroom and dress, as I find myself in a fit of giggles.

We nap once we get back into our seats. Later he listens and just smiles as I talk about plans for our wedding.

"Tae you never saw that jolly Christmas movie, did you?"

"Oh no Kookie I did not. I recall a passenger rudely interrupted me." We both laugh.

"I would like to see it now with you Tae."

"Really Kookie?"

"Yes, really. I would like to see what's so funny that could make you laugh so beautifully."

"Teehee."

We load the movie and Kookie laughs louder than me. It is a very cute romantic comedy and a shared sweet moment that we will remember for long to come.

Six months later we have a small wedding at my parent's home, and of course grandmother plans a big reception. Kookie's father is there. Seeing them together always brings tears to my eyes. So much lost time but they are certainly making up for it. They are the best of friends and, as I look at them, I know anything is impossible. The power of forgiveness brought about by Kookie's Awakening and shifted his life and mine in the most extraordinary way.

I received an unexpected surprise as my father from South Korea surprised me and attended. I think my mother had something to do with it. He and Kookie talk alone for more than an hour. After they meet, he gives me his blessing and tells me that Kookie will be a good husband. I don't know what they talked about and Kookie has not spoken of it, so I do not ask.

It did not take long for mom and dad to be won over by Kookie. Kookie and I shared with them about the Awakening. Mine years earlier, and Kookie's the day we boarded flight 1225 to LA. Dad apologized to me and Kookie for doubting. Kookie and he are developing a close bond and I could not be happier.

Something amazing happened at my wedding. My father takes my hand and walks me to the beginning of the aisle. He then places my hand in the hand of my dad, the man that raised me. Dad then walks me down the aisle and places my hand into Kookie's. I am mowed over by the intensity of the joy that is expanding inside of me.

Kookie eyes are lit and convey the happiness I feel in my heart as I moved down the aisle towards him. We both cry throughout the ceremony. Needy Tae no longer needs his teddy bear. He sits quietly with a box of tissues. He'll be performing on his trampoline shortly after the ceremony.

After Tae and I marry we move to South Korea. Tae now works two days a week for Choi airlines with Yeona. They are doing amazing work to help others, which I find inspiring.

Tae works at a family clinic where he serves underprivileged families. He combines his work with Choi Airline services, making sure that these families have food, clothing, and shelter. One day a week he trains and recruits new doctors for Doctors Without Borders. I have never seen someone so happy in their work. The light that I love shines so bright in his eyes. Every night I enjoy hearing about his day. He is happy; therefore, I am happy.

We are both busy but always take time for ourselves. We have dinner at home every night and spend weekends together.

After a year, my company has been totally transformed. My first success was with Mr. Michael's company, the businessman from LA. I helped him save his company and it was the most rewarding experience that I have ever had. I am working with several other companies now and slowly changing my reputation.

A Korean business magazine did an article on me and my business. They highlighted the work that I am doing. A week after the article came out, Tae's father Mr. Choi called me.

"Jungkook, I have had my reservations about you and even after the wedding. I only know that you make my son very happy. He is a very special young man and my everything. I finally understood who you are after reading this article."

"Is that so, Mr. Choi? Please tell me what you read that changed your opinion of me."

"You said that it is your responsibility as part of the human race to help others in need of assistance. You also said that you have learned this quality from your husband who is the kindest person you've ever met, who lives an honest and free life of service to others. You're a good man Jungkook."

"Thank you, Mr. Choi."

The couple slowly moves down the hall together.

"Teehee."

"Shhhh! Sweetheart, no giggling." Jungkook whispers to his husband.

"I can't help it. I'm too excited." Tae whispers as he grasps onto his husband's hand and slowly opens the door of the bedroom. Quietly they move towards the small bed.

"Teehee," Tae giggles and covers his mouth as Jungkook smiles and nudges him forward. Tae gently sits on the little bed as he looks down and smiles at their child nestled under a soft pink princess blanket. She is cuddled around a small stuffed bear.

"Kookie look how beautiful our baby girl is," Tae whispers as Jungkook steps back, as a powerful memory moves over him. His throat burns as a tear moves down his cheek and all he can do is watch from the foot of the bed. He is frozen for a few moments as he thinks of his mother and father on Christmas morning many years ago. The memory is as fresh as if it was yesterday.

Tae leans down and presses his lips to the soft hairline to the sleeping little girl.

"Wake up my little bear," Tae whispers as he gently rubs the little one's back. Slowly the child stirs and then yawns. Sleepy doe eyes open and then a sweet smile spreads across the child's face as Jungkook quietly gasps and places his hand over his heart. After years with his husband and their child, he still finds it unbelievable that this is his life.

"Sweetheart it's Christmas and it is time for little bear cubs to wake," Tae says in a soft whisper.

Suddenly, the child's eyes grow wide, and she springs up to a sitting position.

"Dada! It's Christmas?"

"Teehee. Yes, my lovely, it is Christmas!"

"Yay! Papa!" The little one shouts as she sees her papa standing at the foot of her bed. She bounces up to a standing position very quickly as Jungkook laughs and opens his arms as the little one leaps into papa's arms.

"Papa did Santa come? You know I was a very good girl. Isn't that right dada?" Tae laughs as their little girl who is talking a mile a minute.

"Yes, you are papa's good little girl." Jungkook hugs her tight as Tae leans over and kisses her soft cheek.

"Did he papa? Did he come? Did Santa come?!" The sweet child bounces in her papa's arms.

"Let's go see," Jungkook says as the family travels down to their living area where there is a grand Christmas tree.

"Whoa! Look Dada! Look Papa! Santa came!"

"My goodness someone must have been awfully good!" Tae shrills.

"Teehee," the little child giggles as she slides out of her papa's arms and runs to see all the gifts.

"Papa it's a bike. Will you teach me how to ride it!?"

"Of course, I will little bear."

"Look dada, it's a doll. I will comb her hair and make her very pretty."

"Yes, little cubby, she will be pretty like you." Tae smiles big and boxy as papa comes and wraps his arm around his husband's waist.
