It was late in the night. Sound of crickets singing in the dark was audible to Taehyung who was lying in his bed wide awake. The curtains of the window flared as the soft wind blew carelessly.

It had been two days to the incident at orphanage. Everything was fine now. Then why Taehyung wasn't able to sleep?

Maybe because he wasn't exhausted?

Or maybe because he wasn't feeling well?

Or was it because Jungkook wasn't home yet?

No.

Why will he care if the ravenette is home yet or not?

Why would it affect him that maybe his husband had skipped his meal?

It was none of his business that it was already around one in the night and there was no news from jungkook.

The blonde huffed and turned to other side and tried to sleep but however much he tried he couldn't throw the worry out of his mind.

"Where the hell is he?" He asked punching the pillow. The boy thought about calling Jungkook but he was too hasitant.

He could have asked his son to call his father but Taegguk was already asleep.

Five minutes wouldn't have passed when Taehyung sat up as he heard a fade sound of door closing.he immediately sat up and went out wearing his crocks.

He walked down the corridor slowly, only to frown when he didn't saw the ravenette he walked towards Jungkook's room only to see it closed.

The blonde stood in front of the door, contemplating whether he should knock or not.

What will he say?

Will it look weird?

Is he allowed to knock at his husband's door at this hour of the day?

He shook his head and turned to leave. He would have taken only a few steps when he halted.

It won't be weird... right?

He would say that he was just passing by thinking that,the blonde licked his lips and knocked on the door slowly but frowned when there was no response.

The boy tried again and knocked a little harder,only to become confused when the door opened on its own.

It was open?

Why?

Curiosity took over him and he walked inside the room. The light from the washroom illuminated the area but what confused Taehyung was that the door to the washroom was also open.

"Mr.jeon?" He called only to hear silence.

"Mr.jeon?" He called again and frowned even deeper when he heard no response.

The blue eyed boy walked towards the washroom hesitantly calling Jungkook one more time. Taehyung finally walked inside but what he didn't expected was an empty washroom.

And then it clicked to him.

Jungkook wasn't home yet.

Taehyung walked out of the washroom after switching off the light. As he walked towards the door to go out, his foot landed on something that almost knocked the blonde off his feet.

He cursed and went to switch on the light to see what it was on which he just stepped.

With one switch,the lights flickered on to life bathing the room in bright light and Taehyung's mouth opened wide in disbelief.

The whole room was messed up. A few shirts lay on the bed, the empty container of banana milk was lying on the ground on which the blonde just stepped. The phone charger was lying on the night stand and the papers on the desk looked like someone had gone through them in a hurry.

On top of that,the sheets of the bed lie half on the ground and Taehyung couldn't understand what the fuck happened there.

But his shock disappeared as quickly as it came when the blonde remembered how messy of a person his husband was.

The boy suddenly felt sympathy for the maids who cleans his husband's room every day. And because the same warriors were on a leave today, Taehyung couldn't understand how jungkook was going to sleep peacefully in that deserted room.

The blonde sighed and decided to pass his time because he knew he wasn't going to get some sleep anytime soon.

Picking up the banana milk container,he threw it into the dustbin. Placing the charger in the right drower,he staked the papers and files on the desk properly. He took the shirts from the bed and put them in the closet.

Fixing the bedsheet,the blonde looked around the room and smiled. His eyes fell on the ravenette's perfume placed on the dressing table. The boy walked over to it and picked it up hasitantly.

Looking at it for a moment,he removed it's cap and sprayed a small amount of the fragrance on his left wrist.

Gulping a little as if he was doing something wrong,the blonde took the wrist to his nose to inhale the scent and his eyes closed on their own as he felt his heart racing inhaling the smell that once left him addicting.

And somewhere,he was still weak for this fragrance. He was enjoying the moment when the door opened. Taehyung opened his eyes only to see Jungkook standing in the doorway with confusion along with tired expression laced on his face.

The blonde still held the ravenette's perfume in one hand while his other hand still gave him the sense of calmness due to the scent on it as he still had it close to his nose.

Taehyung's eyes widen in shock when a smile appeared on Jungkook's lips when he realised what his husband was doing.

The blonde awkwardly took his hand down and looked at Jungkook nervously at being got caught feeling the ravenette's perfume.

The ravenette walked inside making Taehyung immediately put back the perfume to its place and tugged his hairs behind his ear as he tried to think of some excuse.

The ravenette looked around the room and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

For the first time after so many years, Taehyung was standing in his husband's room and suddenly it was awkward for both of them.

They didn't know what to say.

Taehyung was still looking at God knows what when Jungkook cleared his throat grabbing blonde's attention.

"T-Thanks."

"Huh?"

"Thanks.....for cleaning this room." Jungkook said looking at Taehyung sheepishly. The ravenette knew the maids were on leave today.

Taehyung looked around with his cute doe eyed and nodded understandingly.

"Why are you up? Its late." The ravenette asked again when silence became too unbearable.

"I couldn't s-sleep."

"Oh" Jungkook nodded his head once again.

"I should go now." The blonde said and the ravenette could only nod his head even when he wanted Taehyung to stay a little longer.

As the blue eyed boy walked towards the door slowly, something inside him forced the boy to ask his husband where he was. Taehyung scolded himself but couldn't control the urge to ask Jungkook why he was late.

"J-Jungkook!" He called before turning around but immediately became red when he found the ravenette already looking at him softly.

"Yeah?"

"Gguk was worried where you were?" He asked not meeting his husband's eyes. The ravenette chuckled internally when he saw Taehyung's red ears.

He knew the blonde was lying.

"I was finishing some work because I am leaving for states tomorrow for some business stuff." He replied with a smile.

"Oh...Okay!" Taehyung nodded his head but why didn't he like it? He doesn't know.

"You had your dinner?" The blonde asked again making the ravenette smile teasingly.

"Did Gguk ask that too?"

"Wha-.....N-No...I was just a-asking because.......because i am hungry." He lied but couldn't hide his nervousness.

"Then you should go and eat. I'll just pack my stuff as I'll be leaving early in the morning." Jungkook replied making the blonde nod.

The ravenette sighed tiredly and went to take out his bag when he saw Taehyung leaving. The blonde turned around one more time and he fiddled with his fingers when he saw Jungkook's tired face and hunched shoulders as he tried to pack his things messily.

"Do you w-want me to help you?" The blonde finally asked when he couldn't stop his heart and mind battling.

The ravenette looked at him in surprise but smiled immediately.

"No...its okay. You should go and sleep. I'll do it myself " Jungkook replied but Taehyung could see the sleep and tiredness in his husband's eyes so he walked over to him and took the clothes from his hands leaving Jungkook shocked.

"Go and bring your socks and belt." He ordered his husband who nodded dumbfounded. Taehyung started placing the clothes in the bag neatly while the ravenette brought all the important things.

"When will you come back?" The blonde asked after contemplating a lot. Jungkook looked at him blankly making Taehyung lick his lips nervously.

"G-Gguk will be sad. You know he had planned to go shopping on Sunday to buy things for the kids in orphanage?" He asked looking at Jungkook with hopeful eyes.

The ravenette looked at the blue eyed male for a moment longer than needed before handing him the tie and other things.

"I'll come back before that. I know we are going to shopping together." He replied looking at his husband who placed the things in the bag and zipped it up.

The ravenette wanted to dance in happiness at the caring behaviour of his husband.

''Oh....Okay.'' The blonde said looking around before looking at Jungkook who was already looking at him intently.

''I should g-go now....Its late. You should sleep.'' The ravenette nodded with a smile. Taehyung smiled back just a little and walked out leaving the ravenette standing in his place with his eyes trained into the direction in which Taehyung just vanished.

He was sure things were not out of his hands.

He still have chances to get his family back and Taehyung just proved it to him.

He sighed and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again and walking into the washroom. The day was quite busy for him that made the ravenette fall into deep slumber as soon as his back touched the bed, a soft smile lingering on his lips as Taehyung clouded his mind.

Even before the birds could chirp and inform the nature that it was time for sunrise, Jungkook walked down the stairs buttoning the cuffs of his shirt as his blazer rested on his arm. The driver had already placed his stuff in the car and was waiting outside.

The ravenette was about to walk out when he heard something. He frowned and walked towards the kitchen only to get surprised. Taehyung was pouring honey on the pancakes, his hairs a mess but he still looked so beautiful as he looked at the honey dripping down the soft pancakes with his doe eyes.

A smile made its way to Jungkook's lips itself when the blonde licked his finger when a drop of honey stained it just to touch that beautiful creature. Taehyung smiled and picked up the plate not noticing a certain someone eyeing his every action.

Taehyung was about to step when his eyes fell on Jungkook who was standing just a little away from him. His eyes widen and he gulped subconsciously when his husband kept looking at him with an amused smile.

''G-Good morning.'' The blonde said when nothing came to his mind. Jungkook looked at his watch and back to blonde.

''Good morning to you too.....'' The blonde smiled awkwardly and looked at the wall behind Jungkook.

''Why are you up so early?'' The ravenette asked, though he knew the answer. He could see that in Taehyung's actions......his blue, nervous eyes.

The blonde looked back at Jungkook and then to the pancakes in his hands.

''I was hungry and making some pancakes for me s-so I thought you can also have some before l-leaving.'' He explained smiling a little towards the end but the bite on his lower lip failed all of his attempts to be subtle but Jungkook decided to play along as he didn't want to make his husband uncomfortable.

''Oh...Thanks. I am actually very hungry. I couldn't have dinner last night.'' The ravenette said and Taehyung looked at his husband with narrow eyes.

''Then why did you refused when I asked if you wanna have dinner?'' The scolding tone of Taehyung amused the ravenette but he kept his face straight.

''I didn't want to trouble you.''

''Trouble me? Are you for real? How can you skip dinner because of that stupid reason?'' Taehyung asked glaring at Jungkook who smiled nervously as Taehyung was getting more angry with every passing second.

He felt like its better not to mess with the tiger in front of him.

''You made those for me?'' He asked diverting the topic. Taehyung looked at the plate in his hand and extended it towards Jungkook before nodding.

''Thank you so much, Tae....It looks so delicious.'' He commented as both of them walked towards the dining table. While the ravenette enjoyed the breakfast, Taehyung inspected his surrounding to get some general knowledge....

''Can you tell Gguk that I'll be back soon?..... I have left a note for him but still....'' He asked looking at Taehyung expectantly who nodded after a moment of staring at Jungkook.

The ravenette finished the breakfast and went out after thanking Taehyung.

The blonde sighed once the ravenette was out and walked to his room. Lying on his bed, he closed his eyes and tried to control his heart who was not ready to listen to him. It just wanted Jungkook to not go anywhere.

The tiredness won over his internal battle and he finally drifted to dreamland as he had been constantly checking the time whole night.

He didn't want Jungkook to go empty stomach.

Or maybe, he wanted to see his husband before he leave for two days.
