Five days have passed after the day when Jungkook had broken down like a baby in the arms of his love and Tae had finally come to know the pain and anguish his love was going through. Five days since Tae had decided to fight his fears and come back to his older self. Five days since the couple had decided to move on from that dreadful incident. Though deep in their hearts they both knew that they might never forget the pain and anguish of those days, they had decided to put it in the past and move on for each other.

Tae has improved a great deal these days. He had started coming back to his old self more with each passing day. He became more and more confident about the fact that Jungkook is not going anywhere even if he goes out of his sight for some time, that Jungkook is going to come back to him in the end. He has started letting Jungkook go out of sight more and more without panicking about it. At first he used to leave Jungkook alone in their room or in the living room. But then one day he asked Jungkook to go get some things from the market while Jimin was with him. Though Jungkook was rather reluctant to leave him alone for that long, Tae had made him understand that he needed to do that for Tae's sake and that he won't be alone as Jimin was there with him. Jungkook had eventually left home for the market but no before telling Jimin again and again to call him if anything happens.

Well let's talk about Jimin, best friend of Taehyung. The two boys have grown up together, friends from the very first day of their kindergarten. They share a strong bond of love and friendship, from the very childhood they boys had smiled together, cried together. They did mischiefs together and got scolded together. They know and understand each other like no one else. They call themselves soulmates and rightly so.

After Jungkook, if there had been anyone who was heartbroken seeing Tae's state, it was Jimin, maybe even more than Tae's parents. In his memory Jimin had never seen his best friend like that, like so broken, so lost and it pained his little heart very much. Though before Tae he had acted cheerful for his sake, to cheer Tae up, Jimin had shed countless tears in his boyfriend's embrace for what his once cheerful best friend had become.

So think about the shock that Jimin got when the other day he came to his best friend's house to cheer him up and when he rang the doorbell, the door was opened by Taehyung who was smiling ear to ear with his cheeks flashing red.

"Jiminie!" Tae had shouted and hugged his best friend tight who was standing dumbstruck at the sudden change of mood in his best friend.

But there was still more left for Jimin's shock, because Tae had made him sit in the living room and went to get a milkshake for him, while he ordered his husband to go and take a nap because apparently he looked tired. What shocked Jimin even more than Jungkook actually did what Tae told him, like an obedient husband he went inside his room to take a nap leaving Tae alone with him.

You can't blame Jimin for getting shocked because he visited the couple just two days back and at that time Tae wasn't ready to let Jungkook go out of his sight even for a moment and today he himself ordered Jungkook to go to the room. Obviously Jimin was shocked.

When Tae came back holding a tray with two glasses of milkshake and sat beside Jimin after placing the tray on the table, Jimin had simply hugged his best friend and started sobbing, he sobbed in relief after finding his best friend back to his old self.

Tae had understood what his best friend must be feeling so didn't ask him anything. He just hugged his best tight and murmured "I am okay now, Jiminie" to which Jimin replied while crying "yes you are Taetae."

Jimin didn't ask Tae what has brought the change in him not wanting to make his friend think about that dreadful incident and Tae was really grateful about that.

The incident with Jimin had once again made Tae realize how everyone around him was suffering along with him and he became even more determined to get better for the sake of his loved ones.

Tae's parents' reaction was pretty much the same as Jimin's when they found their son back to his usual self and so was Soomin's.

Even Jungkook's best friends, Hoseok and Yoongi too had tears in their eyes when they saw Tae in his usual cheerful self and found their best friend smiling with whole heart. Just like Jimin they too were worried for their best friend.

Five days have passed and tomorrow Tae is going back to school. Well Jungkook has still five days left of his leave and he wanted Tae to go back to his usual routine before he joins office again. That's why Tae has decided to join school from tomorrow.

Currently Tae is sitting in their balcony with Jin while Jungkook is in the living room watching his favorite boring business news to give the Eomma son duo some alone time.

Jin and Tae are sitting at the small coffee table on the balcony, holding two cups of tea enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun. Tae is laughing really hard on some silly joke that his Eomma cracked. Trust Kim Seokjin to crack the silliest jokes.

As Tae came down from his laughter he found his Eomma staring at him with emotional eyes. He also noticed the tears in the corner of Jin's eyes.

"Eomma?" Tae said apprehensively "what happened?"

Jin shook his head and wiped his wet eyes "nothing Taebear nothing happened" he said and smiled.

Tae held his hand "please Eomma tell me what happened? Why are you crying?" He asked.

"I am not crying bub, they are happy tears" Jin smiled at him "I am just so happy to see you like this, back to your usual self" he told his son.

"I really made you all sad and worried, didn't I?" Tae asked in a low voice.

"No bub, what are you saying" Jin told him "it's true that we were sad and worried for you but you didn't do anything on purpose, you were in pain, you were scared and we all know that" he let his son know. "We all are really happy to see you again like this," Jin said and Tae looked at him and smiled his famous boxy smile.

"But Taebear if you don't mind can I ask you something?" Jin said to his son.

"Eomma you don't have to ask my permission. You know right you can ask me anything you want" Tae told his Eomma.

Jin smiled hearing his son's words "I am just curious what brought this change in you? It's like you were living in a trance for so many days and then suddenly you came out of it. How did that happen?" He asked, feeling curious.

"Because it was time for me to come out of that trance before it could destroy my Kookie" Tae spoke his voice heavy with emotions.

"What do you mean?" Jin asked.

"I mean I realized how my Kookie was breaking from inside seeing me like that. Do you know Eomma, he was blaming himself for what I had become. He had started to think of himself as the reason for my pains. He was in so much pain." Tae told his Eomma. He pointed to the other corner of the balcony "do you see that place Eomma? My Kookie broke down there." A tear escaped from his eyes remembering the day when Jungkook had broken down in his arms "He cried like a baby that day. I had promised myself that I will never let him cry yet he was crying that day because of me. Seeing him like that I decided that it's enough, that I need to fight my fears before it destroys both me and my Kookie. That's why I started coming back to my old self, for my Kookie" he said.

"You really love him so much, don't you?" Jin said with a fond smile.

"Hmm I do" Tae nodded his head "I love him so much but you know what Eomma he loves me even more. My innocent bunny, he literally lives his life for me." An affectionate look came to his eyes as he got lost in the thoughts of his bunny "that's why I have decided to live to fullest and stay happy so that he will live like that too. My poor bunny has lived his whole life alone, craving for love and affection but not anymore, now I am here to love him, to give all my affection and attention to him. Because my Kookie deserves to be loved more than anyone else in the world" he said determinedly.

"That's like my Taebear" Jin said and kissed Tae on his forehead. Jin's eyes fell on his wrist watch and he saw it was 4pm. "Taebear I need to leave now. I have to go to the cafe and check on the boys before I return home" he informed his son.

"Okay, let's go then. I will see you to the door" Tae told him and stood up from his chair, Jin too followed him.

As the duo came to the living room they found Jungkook sleeping on the couch in sitting position while the news was going on the TV. Tae shook his head at the sight.

"Do you see that Eomma, that news is so boring that he actually slept but still he will say that he enjoys it. What will I do with this stubborn bunny?" Tae said exasparated, though his eyes held an affectionate look in them as he stared at his sleeping husband.

Jin who noticed the affectionate look in his son's eyes, smiled knowingly. "What can I say son, we both married men who are rather boring when it comes to their choice of entertainment" he said and both the Eomma son duo laughed silently.

Once they reached the door, Jin hugged his son "take care of yourself and your bunny" he told Tae and left for his cafe.

Tae returned to the living room and switched off the TV. He then went to their room and came back with a pillow and blanket. He made Jungkook lie properly on the couch, placed the pillow under his head and put the blanket on him. He sat near Jungkook's head and started caressing his hair. His heart filled with tenderness as he kept staring at the sleeping face of his husband who looked so innocent and defenseless while sleeping. "My stupid innocent bunny" He murmured and kissed the older on his forehead.

Tae got some notes that Jimin gave him and sat on the carpet leaning his back on the couch on which Jungkook was sleeping and started studying them. Well he is going back to school after so long, he needs to prepare a little for it.

"Baby?" Jungkook called his husband who was lying on his chest.

It's night now and the couple is lying on their bed. Tae has his head on Jungkook's chest who has his arms wrapped around his love, holding him in his warm embrace.

"Umm" Tae replied to his husband.

"Are you nervous?" Jungkook inquired.

"Nervous, why?" Tae asked back.

"Because of tomorrow. You are joining school after so long. You are okay with it, aren't you? We can postpone it for some more days if you want" Jungkook told Tae, worried if his baby is going to be okay or not.

Tae placed his both hands on Jungkook's chest and raised his head. He locked his eyes with the worried eyes of his husband and softly kissed his lips "I will be okay Kookie, please don't be worried. True that I am a little nervous but it's only because I am going back after so long. Otherwise I am okay" he told Jungkook.

"You sure are okay, right? You are not saying this just to make me relax, are you?" Jungkook was still not convinced.

"Did I ever hide anything from you?" Tae asked him and he nodded his head in the negative "then trust me when I say I am okay, hmm?" Tae further added.

"Okay" Jungkook agreed and Tae smiled at him.

"Now come on, kiss my nervousness away" Tae demanded cutely.

And what more invitation Jungkook needed? He immediately flipped themselves and laid Tae on his back. He hovered over his beautiful husband and attached his lips with Tae's who wrapped his arms around his neck.

Jungkook started kissing and sucking Tae's honey lips. He gently bit the younger's lower lip asking him to open his lips who did so quite radially. Jungkook pushed his tongue inside Tae's mouth and searched for his tongue and sucked it hard once he found it. Tae moaned and pulled his hair hard. This seems to give Jungkook a push as he started kissing the boy more vigorously who returned his favor back by kissing him with equal vigor.

The couple kept each other passionately, only stopping when they couldn't go on without air anymore. The both kept panting hard after breaking the kiss. Still panting, Jungkook stared down at his baby, whose whole face was flushed red, lips swollen and he was breathing hard, his chest falling up and down. He looked so alluring panting, lying under Jungkook that the older couldn't control himself and once again dived into his lips and started kissing him hard. Like always Tae kissed him back with equal fervor if not more.

Jungkook moved his lips to Tae's jaws after he broke the kiss. He kissed Tae's jaws and then moved to his neck, kissing and marking it, making the boy moan. While kissing the younger on neck Jungkook placed his hands on Tae's waist and pushed them under his pajama shirt and started touching his soft skin there.

Tae felt his skin burn where Jungkook touched, tingles ran all over his body. The feeling was new to him, he had never felt like that ever before or maybe he did that night in Jeju but that day he was too intoxicated to register anything clearly. While Jungkook kept kissing and marking his neck and touching him under the shirt, Tae clutched the older's hair more tightly not knowing how to react to all the sensation he was feeling. "Aah.. umm.. Kookie...aah.." He kept moaning while Jungkook continued to kiss him.

Jungkook left his neck and once again joined his lips with Tae's while he slid his hands up and reached the younger's chest. His fingers found the nubs on the younger's chest and he started playing with them while kissing the boy feverishly.

Tae was already in his limits when Jungkook started touching and playing with his nipples. The sensation was too much for the poor boy, tears came out of his eyes. As Jungkook pinched his nub he couldn't control himself.

"Aaahh… Kookie…." Tae moaned and whimpered.

Jungkook came to his senses hearing Tae's whimpering. He finally stopped both his lips and hands and looked at the face of his love, only to find it wet in tears. Tae has his eyes closed as tears leaked from the corner of them.

Jungkook took his hands out of Tae's shirt and started wiping his wet face. "baby" he softly called the boy who finally opened his tear filled eyes and stared at his face.

"Kookie" Tae whimpered "I feel weird" he told his husband feeling overwhelmed.

Jungkook felt his heart going soft for his innocent Angel. He gently kissed the boy on his forehead "ssh.. baby, it's okay, it's okay, I got you" he told Tae as he continued to wipe his tears and kissed his whole face softly.

Tae finally stopped whimpering "you okay baby?" Jungkook asked him and he nodded his head in affirmation.

"I am sorry" Tae told his husband and lowered his face "I made you stop" he said guiltily.

Jungkook placed a finger under his chin and made the younger look at himself "don't, don't say sorry. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I went too far too fast. You just need more time that's it" he told the boy and pecked his lips. He laid on his back and pulled Tae on his chest and hugged him. Tae placed his ear on Jungkook's chest and heard his loud heartbeats that matched his. He can understand that the older was affected by their closeness as much as him.

"Kookie?" Tae called his husband softly.

"Yes baby" Jungkook replied.

"Are you okay?" Tae inquired.

"Yes baby, why do you ask?" Jungkook asked him back, not quite understanding what Tae was asking.

"Are you sure Kookie? You are not feeling pain there, you know, there" Tae blushed as he struggled to ask the question.

"Where baby?" Jungkook asked, puzzled.

"Umm you know there…" Tae was still not able to complete his question "you know like I was feeling that night in Jeju." Tae told Jungkook who chuckled as he finally understood what Tae was talking about.

Tae looked up at Jungkook's face "Kookie answer me honestly, you are really not in pain are you? Do you want me to" he looked down blushing "do you want me to do that for you what you did for me that day?" He asked innocently, feeling worried if his husband was in pain like he was that night.

Jungkook felt like his heart was going to burst from all the love and adoration he was feeling for that innocent Angel of him. The boy was crying just moments back because he was overwhelmed with all the things he was feeling, yet here he is, worried for his pain. Though Tae was feeling shy to talk about what happened that night, he was ready to help Jungkook like the latter did to him that night, so that his love won't be in pain.

Jungkook pulled Tae's head again on his chest and said "I am okay baby, don't worry. I can manage" he smiled a little "by the way baby. Did I tell you how lucky I am to have you in my life?" He further added and Tae smiled hearing it and nodded his head "you did" Tae told him.

"Oh okay, but I would like to tell you once more. I am the luckiest man in the world because I have you, my love" Jungkook said and kissed Tae on his head "now let's sleep. We have to wake early tomorrow" he told the boy.

The couple closed their eyes and soon they drifted into peaceful slumber in each other's arms.
