I woke up in the morning, feeling cold. Normally, Kookie's warm body snuggled up to mine made sure that was never the case, but I felt around the bed with eyes closed to notice he was missing. I cracked open my eyes to stare at his empty spot in the bed. I rolled over and as I did, I was met with something that caused a huge smile to come across my face. There on the nightstand were a dozen rozes all placed in a vase with a card next to them. I felt tingles all over as I reached and plucked the card from among the peach and white roses.

"Good morning beautiful! I know we have a lot to talk about, and I know I have a lot to make up for. I hope this can be the start of it. Please come down when you are ready. I will be waiting for you."

I grinned ear to ear as I stretched and stood up out of bed. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my hair and teeth, washed my face and got changed. As I opened our bedroom door, I was met with the amazing smell of food being cooked. I walked down the stairs and saw Jungkook standing in the kitchen, stiring something that looked delicious in a pan.

"Thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful." I said, wrapping my arms around his waist from behind.

"They are nothing in comparison to you." he said, turning off the stove and facing me. He cupped my face in his hands and rested his forehead against mine.

"Don't make me blush now." I giggled, as he let go of my face.

"But I love seeing you blush." he replied, smiling slyly.

"I know you do." I said, tearing my gaze from his, feeling embarrassed.

"I made breakfast. Let me serve you." he said in a low voice, almost sending chills up my body.

"Thank you, that was nice of you." I replied, sitting on the barstool. He got a couple of plates out and started serving the food to the both of us. I ate a few bites as he sat on the stool next to me.

"It's really good, Jungkook, thank you." I said, giving him a smile with some food still in my cheek. He smiled slightly, but looked sad. He picked up his fork and played with his food slightly, staring down at it.

"So....I know we need to talk." he said softly, still not eating. I put my fork down and looked at him. He looked so sad and scared at the same time, but he refused to look up in my direction.

"Yeah, we do." I responded, putting a hand on his arm, making him stop moving his fork around. He looked up at me his eyes, sad and his body trembling slightly.

"I know I fucked up. And I'm not gonna say it was because in headspace. Yes, I was in headspace, and yes that is really the reason, but I still have to take responsibility for my actions. I did something unkind to you, and although I didn't mean to, I know it had to have hurt you. I never want to hurt you. You are the kindest and most beautiful person I know, and I am so so sorry that I let you down." he said, his voice cracking at the end. I felt myself tearing up but swallowed it down. We had to have this converstation, we had to get past this.

"Jungkook, I forgive you. I understand now, and I know you didn't mean to hurt me. I know we will be ok." I said, squeezing his arm slightly.

"You mean it? You....you forgive me?" he asked, looking at me in disbelief.

"I mean it. I love you Jungkook. I know what a special person you are, and I won't allow something like this to drive us apart. Kookie got in trouble and he is getting his punishment. Let's just end it there." I replied, putting a hand on his cheek. He put his hand on top of mine and closed his eyes, letting out a breath of relief.

"I can't tell you how much that means to me. You don't know how afraid I was all morning that you were going to leave me over this." He said, his chin wobbling slightly. I leaned forward and kissed him softly, feeling his plump lips mold to mine like they were made for each other.

"I thought I wasn't allowed kisses." he said, giving me a huge smile after we pulled back.

"Kookie is being punished, not you." I giggled, giving him another soft kiss as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Thank you so much." he whispered, hugging me tightly as he rested his head on my shoulder.

"You don't have to thank me. I am doing this because I love you. Now I want you to promise me that you are not going to feel guilt over this anymore, and not bring it up anymore. You have nothing to worry about. Trust me. Now eat something, please, so I don't worry about you." I replied, as we pulled away from each other. He smiled and settled back in his seat, looking much more relaxed.

"Jungkook, can I ask you something? If you don't feel comfortable talking about it, you don't have to answer." I asked before taking another bite of food.

"Of course, babe." he answered.

"So...what exactly happened that day your mother was here? What did she do that pushed you to slip into headspace?" I asked softly, hoping this wouldn't upset him.

"I'm just happy you're staying so I am in a great mood. I can talk about it and be ok." he replied, taking another bite.

"Alright, well if at any point you start feeling uncomfortable or upset, you don't have to continue." I responded. He nodded as he swallowed and took a sip of juice.

"She started in on me about what a disappointment I am to her. I really didn't care about that, because I always have been. She didn't want kids to begin with, so I was up against impossible odds. Then she started talking about how ashamed and disappointed my father would be if he were alive. I...that's what started it. I had a great relationship with my father, and we were very close. When he found out about me slipping into headspace, he actually was very supportive. He bought me things I might need and allowed me to be who I wanted around the house. My mother absolutely hated it, and always fought with him over it. He always defended me, so when he passed away, I had no one on my side. So when she attacked me about my father, it started me on a bad path. Then I started slipping a little, and she noticed. She.....she told me she is disowning me. I know she's a complete bitch, but she's my mom, ya know? She's the only parent I have...had. When she said that, my abandonment issues started to get to me, and I slipped completely. She told me to stop fucking around and when I got upset because she was yelling and cursing at me, she hit me. That's when you came to my rescue." he explained. I felt sick to my stomach after hearing all of this.

"I can't believe she would do something like that!! Jungkook, you are an amazing person. You are sweet, kind, caring, passionate, loving, smart, and I could go on and on. Don't you believe a word she says. I love you and love every single piece of you, and wouldn't change a thing. If she can't appreciate you for everything that you are, then fuck her. You don't need someone toxic like that, poisoning your life. Maybe one day she will come around, but until that day comes, I don't want you waisting a single moment worrying about it. You have the love of your friends and you have my love. None of us are going anywhere." I said, reaching over and holding his hand.

"What did I do to deserve someone like you? Seriously. I have no idea how I got so lucky. I am so glad that Namjoon had you meet me. That was the best day of my life." he said, squeezing my hand and bringing it up to his lips, kissing it gently.

"Mine too."
