Jungkook woke up after two hours. He turned on his back and opened his eyes only to find the most beautiful eyes in the world staring down at him with a love filled gaze. 

Tae had been sitting on the bed with Jungkook's head on lap for the whole time. As he saw Jungkook turning on his back and opening his eyes, he stared lovingly at his husband's face and smiled. 

"Did you sleep well my bunny?" Tae asked, smiling brightly. 

"Hmm" Jungkook nodded his head "very well" he too smiled. 

"Good" Tae bent over and kissed Jungkook's forehead but Jungkook wasn't satisfied with only a kiss on his forehead "give me more kiss" he cutely demanded. 

Tae laughed hearing his cute demand, oh how long had it been since Jungkook demanded something from him like this, his heart ached at the thought. His heart filled with tenderness for the man lying on his lap.

"Oh so you want more kisses? Okay let me think about it" Tae placed his index finger under his chin and made a face as if he is really contemplating on something. 

"Baby, please" Jungkook whined impatiently. 

Tae chuckled at his impatient husband "okay okay I will give you more" he kissed Jungkook's left eye "you want more?" He asked and Jungkook nodded his head eagerly, laughing. Tae kissed the other eye and again asked the same question, got the same reply. 

Tae kissed Jungkook on his whole face, his eyes, his cheeks, his nose, his chin, everywhere except for his lips. 

"Alright I gave you lots of kisses, are you happy now my whiny bunny?" Tae asked mischievously. 

"Babyyyyyy" Jungkook again whined. 

"What?" Tae asked as if he didn't know why the older was whining. 

"You didn't kiss me here," Jungkook said, trying to point his lips with his eyes, trying to remind the younger one that he didn't give him a kiss on his lips. 

"Really?" Tae made a fake shocked face "where did I not kiss you?" He asked. 

"Here" Jungkook puckered his lips and Tae burst into laughter seeing his cute face. 

"You indeed are a bunny, my adorable bunny" he said and finally gave into the demands of his whiny husband. He again bent over and kissed Jungkook deeply who Immediately kissed him back. 

Tae felt Jungkook smiling in the kiss and felt peace spreading into heart knowing that he was able make his love a little happy. That's what he wants, Jungkook's smile and happiness. 

Once they broke the kiss "now get up you sleepy head, go get ready" Tae ordered his husband. 

"Why get ready?" Jungkook asked in a puzzled voice. 

"Because we are going out" Tae told him "I want to have tteokbokki."

Jungkook immediately sat up and looked wide eyed at Tae. "Really, you want to go out?" He asked in a voice full of wonder. 

"Yes" Tae answered smiling but then narrowed his eyes "why are you asking though? Don't tell me you don't want to take me?" He asked. 

"No! I want to take you out" came the instant reply from Jungkook who by then was having a big bunny smile on his face "I will take you to anywhere you want to go. I will buy you everything you want to have" Jungkook said, his voice full of love and honesty. Tae wants to go out, after so long Tae is demanding something from him, this thought only made him so much happy, his eyes shone with happiness. 

"And there I was thinking how to make you happy, while  all I need to do is to stay happy myself and you will automatically be happy." Tae thought to himself, once again his heart filling with love and tenderness for the man before him, the man whom he came to love so much. 

Well Tae is right indeed, all he needs to do to make Jungkook happy is to stay happy himself. Because Jungkook's world revolves around Taehyung. When Tae is happy Jungkook's heart fills with elation, when Tae is sad Jungkook's heart fills with pain. Jungkook smiles seeing Tae smiling, Jungkook cries with Tae. That's how much Jungkook loves Tae. And now Tae has started loving Jungkook just as much. He is going to stay happy to keep Jungkook happy. He is going to smile as much as he can, so that Jungkook will smile with him. Because just like Jungkook, Tae's World has started revolving around his husband only. 

"Okay then come on get up and get ready" Tae told Jungkook who Immediately got up from the bed and went to his wardrobe to get his clothes out for the outing, rather enthusiastically. 

Tae smiled seeing Jungkook's enthusiasm "I too will go, get ready" he said and started walking out of the room. 

As Jungkook saw Tae leaving the room "baby" he called and Tae stopped in his tracks. He turned back "yes Kookie" he said. 

Jungkook went to where Tae was standing and pulled the boy in his arms "thank you" Jungkook murmured as he hugged Tae tightly "thanks you so much for coming back, thank you so much for giving me my baby back" he kissed the top of Tae's head. 

Tae felt tears again building in his eyes hearing his husband's words but he didn't let them fall. He too wrapped his arms around Jungkook. Standing on his tiptoes, Tae placed a chaste kiss on Jungkook's lips "anything for you My Love" he murmured and felt Jungkook's lips curving in a beautiful smile. 

Tae took his lips off Jungkook's "now come on let's get ready my lazy bunny" he said and ran to his room leaving a smiling Jungkook behind. 

After ten days Tae left Jungkook alone in his room and went somewhere else except for the washroom. Others will say it's not a big deal after all they are just a wall apart, Tae just went to his room. But only the couple themselves know what a big deal it was. Because today finally Tae was able fight his fear and get past it. He was able to let Jungkook out of his sight without the fear that Jungkook is going to disappear. He had finally found the confidence in him to move on from that cursed incident and he found it because of Jungkook. Jungkook  was finally able to bring the confidence back in him, he was finally able to bring the old Tae back. 

As Jungkook saw Tae leaving him alone in the room, his heart finally felt at peace, the constant ache that he kept feeling in his heart for all these days, was finally fading. Because finally his love, his Angel, his tae was coming back to his older self. Finally Tae was moving on from that incident and what more Jungkook needs. 

While Jungkook was hiding his pain, holding himself together for all these days, staying strong so that he can bring Tae back to his old self, maybe what he actually needed to do was just the opposite. Because the moment Tae got to know how much pain his love was bearing, the moment he saw his love breaking down, the moment Jungkook showed his weakness Tae jolted out of his lost state. Seeing Jungkook breaking down, knowing his pain Tae finally found the determination and courage to move on from that incident. 

Taehyung, he might be young, he might fall weak easily but when it comes to Jungkook there is no one stronger than him. Because just like Jungkook is protective of his baby, it's the same with Tae, he is way too protective of his bunny. Taehyung is the strongest when it comes to protecting his Jungkook. Doesn't matter if he has to fight the whole world or his own inner demons and fears, Taehyung is going to fight everything courageously, he is going to stay strong for his husband, the love of his life, his Jungkook.

Tae found Jungkook waiting for him in the living room. The older was wearing a white turtleneck sweater and black knee length overcoat on it, paired with black jeans. While Tae himself was wearing  blue jeans and a red jacket with black beanie. 

As Tae went and stood before Jungkook, the latter held his shoulders and started fussing over Tae's clothes, checking whether the younger was wearing enough warm things to protect himself from the cold. 

Tae rolled his eyes at his fussy husband "what are you doing Kookie?" He asked. 

"Checking if you are wearing enough warm things or not" Jungkook answered distractedly, still fussing over Tae's clothes. 

"Oh I see and what about you?" Tae asked him. 

"What about me?" Jungkook asked back. 

"Are you wearing enough warm things yourself?" Tae asked him frowning. 

"Umm y..yes" Jungkook answered, fumbling a little as he saw Tae frowning at him. 

"Really Kookie?" Tae looked into his eyes "God what I'm gonna do with this careless bunny" he exasperated, "wait for me" he told Jungkook and again went into his room. 

Tae came back with a red muffler. He stood on tiptoes and wrapped it around Jungkook's neck. 

"You were fussing over me while it's actually you who needs to be fussed over" Tae shook his head and continued with the work in his hand "why are you careless, hmm? What if you fall sick?" Tae asked, looking into Jungkook's eyes. 

"You are here to take care of me, aren't you?" Jungkook said to him. 

Tae skipped a beat hearing his words, his heart filling with love for his Kookie, he placed a hand on Jungkook's cheek "right I am here to take care of my careless bunny" he said, voice full honesty, eyes full love. 

Warmth filled Jungkook's whole being by hearing those words and seeing the love in his Angel's eyes. A beautiful smile bloomed on his lips "and I am here for my baby" he said and brought Tae's hand that was on his cheek to his lips and kissed it lovingly, making Tae smile. 

"Shall we leave?" Tae asked him, smiling. 

"Yes love, let's go" Jungkook said and started walking out of the apartment still holding Tae's hand in his. 

Tae laced his fingers with his husband's and hand in hand the couple left for their outing after days. 

Jungkook took Tae to the parking of their building. He made the boy sit in his car and himself hopped on the driver's seat. 

"Let's go baby. Let's go and get some tteokbokki" he said smiling and started the car. 

"Yup let's go" Tae replied and held Jungkook's free hand in his. 

The couple reached the park, the park that had witnessed their love blooming into a flower from a bud, Sungjin park, that held memories of their love. 

Jungkook parked his car at the usual spot and exited it. He opened the door for Tae and placed his hand in front of the younger. Tae smiled and held that hand. Hand in hand they walked to where the halmoni was selling tteokbokki. 

Tae inhaled deeply, taking the fresh air in, it's been so long since he came out of their apartment. He loved the feeling of cool winter breeze caressing his face. 

They reached the tteokbokki stall. The old lady smiled seeing her favorite customers. She really adores this cute couple. 

"Hello Taehyung..shi, hello Jungkook..shi" she greeted the couple. 

"Hello halmoni" Tae smiled and said "please give me a plate of hot tteokbokki and please make it…"

"Less spicy, right?" The old lady completed his words and Tae nodded his head, still smiling. 

The lady handed him the tteokbokki. Just like the other day Tae kept feeding Jungkook while eating. Jungkook had a permanent smile plastered on his face. He felt like he was living his dream. In the past ten days so many times he dreamt of this moment. He craved so much for this moment and now that it's here, he can't help smiling big. 

Once he was done with the tteokbokki, Tae kept looking around to see if there is any ice cream cart and smiled big as he spotted one. He immediately looked at Jungkook making puppy face. 

"Kookie, I want ice cream" he cutely demanded. 

Jungkook looked at his puppy face and shook his head at his cute husband's antics "but baby it's winter, do you think eating ice cream is a good idea?" He asked unsure whether to let Tae have it in the cold weather or not. 

"Oh Kookie you don't anything" Tae exasparated "eating ice cream in winter is the actual fun, come I will show you" he started dragging Jungkook with him towards the ice cream cart. And what did Jungkook do? What else, like a obedient husband followed him. 

Tae took Jungkook to the ice cream cart and got two icecreams and handed one to Jungkook "here have it" he told him. 

Tae took a big bite of his ice cream and felt his tongue freezing in the cold "uff itzz shoo cold" he somehow mumbled and made a face. Jungkook laughed seeing his cute face and hearing his gibberish words. Well you can't blame him, Tae did look funny. 

"Are you laughing at me?" Tae asked glaring at Jungkook, his one hand on his hip while he was holding his ice cream in the other. 

Jungkook gulped seeing his husband glaring at him "no, no, not at all baby" he said hurriedly to pacify the boy. 

"Really?" Tae narrowed his eyes and Jungkook nodded his head in affirmation "see I am eating ice cream, how can I laugh?" He said and put the ice cream in his mouth and took a big bite. 

 This time it's Jungkook who made face, because now it's tongue that froze "umm cold" he moaned and Tae laughed loudly. 

"Serves you right, you mean bunny you were laughing at me" Tae said and stuck out his tongue at Jungkook. 

After having ice cream Jungkook took Tae inside the park. He made Tae sit on the swing and started pushing it. Like the other day, today also he started kissing Tae's forehead every time the swing came back to him, he placed a playful kiss on the younger's face. 

Jungkook kept kissing Tae playfully and Tae kept laughing. Tae laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes and then suddenly he covered his face with his hands and sobbed.  

Jungkook was immediately in alert seeing Tae sobbing. He stopped pushing the swing and went to the front. He knelt before Tae and tried to take his hands off his face. But Tae didn't remove his hands. 

"Baby?" Jungkook asked apprehensively "what happened? Why are you crying? Please tell me baby" he pleaded with the boy. 

Tae shook his head, face still hidden in his hands but didn't say anything. 

"Please baby won't you tell your Kookie what happened?" Jungkook again tried to make him talk. 

Tae finally removed his hands from his face and started wiping his tears "I am sorry, I told you I won't cry anymore but I still did. But trust me Kookie I didn't cry because I am sad, I cried because I am really happy" he told Jungkook. 

Jungkook felt a pang in his heart hearing Tae's words. He cupped Tae's face and looked deeply into his eyes "are you trying to hide your tears from me? Are you going to hide your pain from me so that I won't be in pain?" He asked the boy in front of him. 

Tae lowered his eyes hearing Jungkook's question, he couldn't answer him. How could he, when he was planning to do exactly what Jungkook said. 

As Jungkook saw Tae lowering his eyes "baby" he said in a painful voice and Immediately Tae looked into his eyes feeling a pang in his heart hearing the painful tone of his love. 

"You are actually planning to do that, hiding your pain, aren't you?" Jungkook again asked, his tone still painful "don't, don't ever think of doing that baby. Because I'll be in even more pain if you do so. You never hide anything from me, be it your happiness, your tears, your anger or annoyance and that's how I want it to be. Don't ever try to hide your tears from me, I am here to wipe them." Jungkook said his voice full of honesty and again tears welled up in Tae's eyes and started pouring down his cheeks. 

"Just like I promised you that I won't feel guilty anymore about whatever happened" Jungkook started "you too have to promise me that you will never hide your pain, your tears from me, will you promise that?" He asked and Tae nodded his head. 

"I promise Kookie I will never hide anything from you" Tae promised. 

Jungkook stood up from the kneeling position still cupping Tae's face. He kissed Tae on his forehead "my good baby" he said. "Now tell me why were you crying just now?" He asked. 

"Because I am happy" Tae told him, tears still flowing from his eyes "I am happy that we are here, together. That day, that day when I thought,I thought, I lost you" Tae again started sobbing and Jungkook hugged him, Tae had his face buried in Jungkook's stomach, "I t..thought that I..I will n..never g..get to l..live these m..moments again, t..that I w..will never be a..able to c..come to this p..place that h..held some m..many m..memories us. I w..want to m..make so many m..more memories w..with you K..Kookie, but t..that d..day I t..thought I..I will never get the c..chance to m..make them. B..But now that y..you are with m..me, w..yhen you c..came b..back to me, I am a..able to f..fulfill my d..dreams, that's w..ehy I c..cried. I cried out of h..happiness" Tae kept talking and crying and Jungkook let him. 

"It's okay my love, it's okay I am here, I am with you, we will make so many more memories together, I promise" Jungkook told the sobbing boy and kissed the top of his head. "it's okay if you cry today, I will let you. Today you can cry as much as you want, let all your pain out, cry as much you want. But only today, from tommorow I won't let tears come to your eyes. From now on if you ever cry, you will only cry out of happiness. I will not let any pain, any sadness touch you. I promise you that My Love" he promised to his love, to his Angel, to his Tae but more than that he promised to himself that he will not let any sadness any pain to touch his love. 

Jungkook stood there holding Tae who had his face buried in Jungkook's stomach as he sobbed. Tae kept sobbing for a while then eventually his sobs turned into sniffs and sniffs turned into heavy breaths indicating that he slept. 

Jungkook felt Tae's heavy breathing and parted the boy little from himself only to find him sleep. Jungkook smiled tenderly at the sleeping boy and wiped his tears from his face. Once done, he gently picked the sleeping boy in his arms and started walking towards his car. 

He placed Tae inside the car and closed the door. He got into the car and buckled the seatbelt for Tae and did the same thing for himself and started driving the car. 

Reaching the parking lot of their building, he parked the car and again carried Tae to their home. He placed the sleeping boy on the couch in the living room and started talking off his shoes. He then took off his jacket also. 

He took Tae inside his room and made him sleep on the bed and covered him with the blanket. As Jungkook was pulling out after placing Tae on the bed, the sleeping boy whined in sleep not wanting his husband to go away from himself. Jungkook immediate patted his back "ssh, don't wake up baby, I will just be back after changing my clothes" he told the sleeping boy and placed a soft kiss on his lips and left the bed. 

Jungkook quickly changed in his sweatpants and a t-shirt and came back to the bed. He slid into the covers and pulled Tae in his arms who buried his face in his neck, almost half lying on Jungkook. The older smiled at their sleeping position. He actually loves it on Tae sleeps like that, lying on him. The feel of Tae's warm body on his, fills him with warmth. 

Jungkook wrapped his arms around his sleeping Angel and kissed the top of his head and closed his eyes. Soon he too slipped into deep slumber with the hope of a better tommorow.
