Three years later....

A soft whine slipped past jungkook's lips when he snuggled into the pillow looking for his husband's warmth but couldn't find him. His lids fluttered open in the still dimly lit room, wondering his pretty eyes around to find the man of his dreams.

It was sunday, so taehyung wasn't suppose to leave for work like he does without waking up jungkook if he doesn't have morning schedule or else taehyung always drop jungkook at his location.

Sighing to himself he sat up on the bed and grabbed his night gown to cover his nakedness, he glanced at the clock to see it was almost 12 at noon, before going out of the room.

A delicious aroma of Budae Jjigae (Army Stew) filled his nostrils as soon as he walked into the living room. He smiled before going towards the kitchen and there his husband was cooking like a professional chef.

Once jiho called in sick and the couple tried to make food for themselves not wanting to eat take outs. Needless to say, all they got on their plates was over cooked rice and burnt chicken breast. Thus, taehyung took the initiative to learn cooking from his mother-in-law and aunt jiho.

He was kind of obsessed with enhancing the skills that he would come back home after a tiring day and watch YouTube videos to cook the dishes. Jungkook had to eat all kind of food like burnt, over cooked, too salty, under cooked, without salt, too spicy, too saucy, ugly looking but somewhat edible, pretty looking but wasn't edible and etc, etc.

Jungkook tried to convince his baby that it was alright to drop the idea but taehyung was adamant and just like that he achieved his goal and now every weekend jiho gets a day off as taehyung cooks for his husband and pamper him all day.

"Baby", jungkook wrapped his arm around taehyung's waist with a contended sigh.

"Good morning, koo.. Did you sleep well", taehyung asked tenderly as he proceeded to plate the side dishes.

"Yes.. Did you?", jungkook mumbled sleepily.

"Yeah", taehyung turned around in jungkook's hold, kissing his lips firmly before pulling the younger to his chest.

"Brunch is ready, you should freshen up", taehyung caressed his cheek on jungkook's temple lovingly.

"Hmm! What did you make, it smells so good?", jungkook asked inhaling the aroma deeply.

"Budae jjigae.. Now go and brush your teeth or else it will get cold", taehyung ushered a whining jungkook towards their bedroom who made a beeline reluctantly.

"Woah! It really tastes awesome", jungkook moaned with an angry frown. He was complementing taehyung after each bite. Taehyung chuckled he adored this habit of his love, jungkook really enjoys delicious meals and never fails to express his satisfaction.

"Eat more then, love", taehyung served some more on jungkook's bowl.

"Noo.. I will gain weight", jungkook whined but he was eating nonetheless which had taehyung giggling.

"You know there's this new model in my recent shoot, she was trying to show off how she reached where she is now, which by the way still lower than me, with hard work and dedicating, and eyeing me with that look of arrogance", jungkook started his daily gossip as taehyung listened to him with great interest.

"And what did you say?", taehyung asked knowing very well his love would never keep his mouth shut.

"Nothing", jungkook shrugged and taehyung squinted his eyes suspiciously.

"Ok fine, I just gave her a reality check that's all", jungkook said nonchalantly taking more portions of the jjigae which had taehyung smiling.

"And what would that be?", taehyung asked knowingly.

"That she wasn't as fortunate to be born in an influential family" Jungkook clicked his tongue,

"Poor her", he sighed shaking his head and taehyung bit his fist to not laugh out loud.

"Anyway.. What about process to launch our studio? And mind it Kim Taehyung, I would be first model to shoot there", jungkook pointed his chopsticks at taehyung with a threatening look, his cheeks were puffed out with the food.

"No you are on the second, first will be that famous idol IU", taehyung said with seriousness lacing his voice.

Jungkook stared at him blinking his eyes so did taehyung, pin drop silence was resonating around the apartment, they can also hear a soft breeze brushed past them followed by a 'caw' of a crow.

"You are not allowed to touch my round, bouncy, squishy, tiddies for a week", jungkook deadpanned before going back to eating his food again.

"Wha- you are joking right?", taehyung was horrified, he can live without food but how can he live without touching and sucking on those bouncy boobies.

It's been four years they are married and another three years they have dated earlier, but taehyung's obsession with jungkook's boobs only increased. And Taehyung knows due to experience, that jungkook actually meant the statement.

They of course made love during those silly punishments but jungkook makes sure taehyung doesn't touch his chest even for a second and those situations are hell of a torture.

"Koo.. I was joking", taehyung exclaimed, but jungkook just gave him a bored look.

"I wasn't", he stated knowing very well where to hit at a correct time.

"Babe of course you will be the first one to shoot.. Alright I am sorry.. Don't deprive me from my drug", taehyung pouted with those puppy eyes which can melt even an iceberg.

"Why would you even joke about someone else? Okay, I will reduce the duration to two days, you aren't touching these", jungkook pointed at his chest and taehyung's eyes were looking at them hungrily already getting desperate to nuzzle his face in there.

"Anyway.. Thanks for the food baby", jungkook stood up and peck his lips, taehyung tried to hold his favorite muscles but jungkook swatted his hands away with a fake sweet smile before walking away, swaying his hips a little too much and taehyung was fake crying for the stupidity he did.

Jungkook walked inside the room just to see his phone ringing. He smiled seeing jimin's name on the caller id.

"Bunbun", came a high pitched squeal as soon as jungkook received the call.

"Aww.. What my little yoonji is doing?", jungkook asked in baby voice, seeing the two and half year old giggling.

"Tome hwome, mommy bate kookies", she giggled intentionally saying the name wrong.

"What your mommy baked me?", he gasped dramatically making it look more funny just to make the little one laugh more.

"Yesh..thell unki taetae bwing thocate(chocolate) fol me", she whispered bringing the phone a little too closer to her face that only her eyes could be seen knowing taehyung always bring chocolates and snacks and let her eat secretly or else jimin will scold both of them for spoiling her so much.

Jungkook laughed at her antics,

"Okay baby, I will tell him",

she continued to blabber and later taehyung joined too which made her more excited and refused to cut the call. It was a hustle to take the phone from her and jimin finally ended the call with a promise that her bunbun and taetae will visit her later that day.

"Wow everything is so pretty", jungkook exclaimed with a wide grin as he hugged taehyung's arm.

"You like it? Did they meet your expectations, love?", taehyung asked placing a soft kiss on jungkook's forehead.

"Yes of course.. Everything is perfect", the smile on jungkook's face was never ending.

Few months back, taehyung brought up the idea about doing something of his own that was his own studio. He prepared everything and offered jungkook a 50% partnership.

Jungkook wasn't interested in the official part so taehyung assured him he would handle it himself. He appointed one of his close friends Park Seojoon who was a famous celebrity photographer to be the managing director, who was happy to manage their studio.

He bought a beautiful place and arranged everything and jungkook invested in decorating the interiors. The place had a spacious shooting area, there were blocks built for any theme photo shoot, fancy greenroom. They also separated an area for official works, few cabins for the photographers they hired, to edit pictures. Everything was perfectly planned.

As the place was ready, they planned for an opening ceremony the very weekend.

Taehyung and jungkook was preparing to take a warm bath after returning back from their tiring day, when the door bell rang.

"Are we suppose to expect someone?", jungkook asked in confusion.

"I don't remember.. I will go and check", taehyung was about to go but jungkook stopped him with a done look.

"You are in boxers, taehyungie", jungkook pointed out shaking his head when taehyung gave a sheepish smile. He wore his trouser and t-shirt before going towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door he was met with his parents, sister and mingyu.

"Oh! Come in", he said stepping aside to let them in.

"Hey tae bear", Taeri smiled before hugging him dearly, taehyung smiled returning it back.

"Hey.. Where my little Minsoo?", taehyung asked about his one year old niece.

"She is with her grandparents and jungmin", mingyu smiled hugging him next.

In these three years, many things have changed. Taeri and Taehyung got more closer, it took time for the younger to warm up but taeri's dedication to make everything right between them melted taehyung's heart. Also when Taeri conceived, taehyung was the happiest and showered numerous gifts to his sister. He was younger but he full filled all responsibilities like an older brother.

Jungkook too was happy for taeri and mingyu, he decided to give a chance to the couple because taeri not only tried to mend everything with taehyung but with Jungkook as well. Taeri personally invited jungkook for meals, just the two of them and they indeed clicked really well, as both of their personality was more or less similar.

Just like Ayeong, Jungmin and Yoonji, baby Minsoo too was fond of jungkook and taehyung.

"Tae", yejin called softly and proceeded to hug him. Taehyung did return it but was quick to step back. Hyunbin patted his shoulder as he nodded.

"Oh! Welcome", jungkook stated half heartedly, he was okay with taeri and mingyu but not the older couple.

Taehyung still didn't forgive his parents but the decision he took about cutting off the relationship didn't last long because his parents tried their best to mend everything. Yejin sometimes send home cooked lunch to taehyung at the company and even their home. She makes sure to show her affection that she failed to do before. And hyunbin always makes sure to praise taehyung and voice out how proud he was.

Taehyung's heart did melt and he talks to them here and there but still he couldn't bring himself to forgive them completely.

They greeted jungkook as well and settled in the living room.

"I will get some refreshments", taehyung said before going to the kitchen and jungkook involved himself in a random conversation with taeri and mingyu.

"What would you all like to eat, I will order it then", jungkook said grabbing his phone.

"No need I can just cook", yejin offered with a small smile.

"You are guest here mom.. It would be wrong to let you work", jungkook said casually as he ordered some dishes enough to fill everyone's tummy.

The statement was clear indication from jungkook that he still didn't forgive her to welcome her here as a family member because whenever shinhye comes he himself whines to her to cook. Unlike now, yejin would always be a guest to him.

Taehyung came back and offered the drinks.

"Is there any special reason to visit?", taehyung asked casually.

"Actually", mingyu started hesitantly and glance up at hyunbin who sighed preparing to speak.

"Some Human right workers contacted us saying Jongin and Somin were in their best behaviour and they appealed for reducing their punishment. Having a young son also worked as a favor for them", hyunbin explained, taehyung was listening carefully where as jungkook was getting worked up at the mention of reduce.

"Of course we would reject it.. They deserve that punishment", jungkook stated firmly.

"Jungkook, I understand your point, but it's just two years anyway and Jungmin too has been suffering and crying every other day to take him to his parents", yejin said, hyunbin held her hand stopping her to speak.

"Taehyung, I am not here to convince you or influence your decision, I am here just to inform you that's all. It's completely your decision because you and jungkook was the one who suffered.

I just want to say that before taking any decision just think about Jungmin that's all", he completed.

"As mom said, it's just two years, so why can't they complete the last two years and come back home. I see no problem in there as well. Jungmin has been crying since past three years and I managed to distract him. And I am really take his responsibility for this last two years but I refuse to reduce the punishment", jungkook stated in finality getting a little too worked up for taehyung's surprise.

"Koo calm down", taehyung said worriedly seeing jungkook getting a little breathless.

"I am calm enough.. I don't want this discussion any longer", he said in finality.

"Alright, fine calm down", taehyung gave him some water and rubbed his back. He took a mental note to take jungkook for a regular check up.

Hyunbin sighed knowing very well jungkook won't change his mind.

"It's up to all you two, so let's just stop for now. And we will support you in everything decision you take", he said.

They didn't discuss the topic further and taehyung and jungkook proceeded to prepare dinner when the food arrived. Jungkook was too lost in thoughts and getting a little dizzy, he blamed it on his exhaustion because his schedule was too packed.

"Koo taste this", taehyung brought a piece of well cooked meat to jungkook's lips but he scrunched up his nose.

"Eww it smells so gross", he stated pushing his hand away surprising taehyung.

"But you love, Hanwoo beef", he pointed out.

"I think it's rotten", he said with his scrunched up face and went away.

Taehyung ate the bite which tastes too amazing for it to be rotten and confusion filled his mind even more.

"I need to take him for a check up, he has been acting odd", taehyung mumbled to himself remembering the morning incident when jungkook was eating chocolate pancakes with ketchup.
