Chapter Text
"have you ever thought about us?"
the couple is now laying down, eyes gazing at the ceiling above them but hands clasped together on jungkook's stomach. taking a breather after working on a project for such a long time on the leather chair. both of them had agreed to rest on jungkook's huge couch in his office and had spent their comfortable silence since then.
jimin lifted his head to look at the boy on his chest. "what do you mean baby?" he had said, caressing the boy's torso. jungkook tittered as the slight caress of the other had made him tickly a little bit.
he then turned on his stomach. tummy to tummy with his lover, he then let out the question again. "well, what are we going to be, what does future holds for us?" he had said, twirling with the other's- full of rings- fingers. he had been questioning this for such a long time. long time. he had managed to think about marriage- and even a mini him and jimin. but he was afraid to voice it out.
he's afraid jimin isn't thinking in the same path as him...
jimin hummed. "I've thought about us in various scenarios bambi." he said, "although it might be too personal to share, I would still share to you," he said. jungkook lit up by that. he might have hope. he might.
jungkook was shining and wide-eyed when jimin had let out the words and jimin found it super-duper lovable. a kiss was left on the other's forehead when he had crushed the other's whole dream, saying "but..I won't tell you until our anniversary comes okay?" jimin had chuckled and cooed when jungkook started to playfully try to get up as if to leave the other on the couch.
"Our anniversary is like 2 weeks away, I can't wait that long love.." jungkook pouts.
it's true, he is very impatient when someone had said they have something prepared for him. he is full of energy and curiosity, but no one had ever thought it's annoying. never.
so when he decided to bug jimin about it, regularly, jimin only brushed it off and pinched jungkook's bread cheeks before continuing with what he was doing as if he had blocked jungkook's question.
it goes on a few times, jungkook shifting the topic to the question and jimin blocking the conversation, jungkook had a tantrum inside. because no one ever passed this far. he would've got at least a tiny little cutie clue and he can piece it together. but not with jimin.
so when jimin was persuaded to tell over and over again when the nighttime comes and it was about to be their last action of the day before a new day starts tomorrow..and is 3 days away from their anniversary, he still has the same action and reaction. and it bugs jungkook so much.
jimin can only snicker when jungkook was crossing his arms on his laps while zoning out with a frown planted on his forehead and made himself looks more dainty than usual- pretty. as jimin always call him- right beside him after he had stomped his way out of the bathroom while on their night routine.
climbing on the huge bed, he then teased the boy beside him. "it's 3 days away my best boy, be patience will you hm?" he cooed as he put his fingers underneath jungkook's chin. jungkook can't even be mad that long as he tried hard to not smile but had been defeated fairly quick by the persuasion and soft caring touches from his boyfriend.
jimin had giggled, "there's my favourite smile, now come here." he had managed to let out and opened his arms wide to let the love of his life come into it and be comfortable before they both goes to dreamland.
their night routine of chatting, basking each other in warmth and giggling with stories goes on for quite some time. before they could realize it, the aftermath of being too lost in each other; didn't make them notice that they had been talking for 40 minutes, jungkook was the one who ended the sweet and warm moment with his yawn, being too carefree and content because of the light scratch on his head and the comfort the gentle voice was giving that was coming from his lover.
jimin chuckled, “come on, we’re gonna go to sleep yeah?” he said, turning jungkook to be more comfortable as he positions himself too before heading towards the dreamland with jungkook.
jungkook smiled at the act of service he got. he loves being useless with his body whenever jimin is with him. “good night my love, sleep well.” jungkook said, hoisting his head up and kissing Jimin's cheek goodnight, and off they go.
•••
finally. it’s their anniversary.
jungkook had prepared such a nice gift for his other half in between his persuasion for jimin to tell his surprise. what can he say, he's a multitasker.
jungkook was so excited for this day that he had planned everything in his plan of the day and one of them was waking jimin up with a kiss.
so, waking up in a cold spot beside him wasn't ideal. truly isn't ideal.
jungkook stretched his hand way more to his front as jimin always spoons him at night -or they face each other but still end up with jimin as the little spoon- and to his dismay, jimin is still not there.
he huffed, turning to the spot jimin had left to avoid the blinding sunlight shining on him more as the curtains were slightly moved and jimin's arms aren't around his head to cover it as he always does.
you see, jimin is always the early riser, but he preferred to just stay in bed until jungkook wakes up and he always moves his arms to cover jungkook's eyes and it goes unnoticed to jungkook. it's the little things...
bringing himself up, he then makes his way to jimin's nightstand because jimin always keeps jungkook's phone for him at night before sleeping. now that he thinks about it, they really have established a night routine that they just think it's a second nature of their relationship.
taking his carrot cased phone, he then turns the do not disturb mode and was boomed with a lot of notifications from emails, to good morning texts. but none of it was from jimin.
'how absurd' jungkook thought. jimin is the type to leave jungkook a message if he's going anywhere before jungkook wakes up, so not receiving one -on their anniversary- is definitely weird.
deciding not to think much about it, he goes downstairs while typing a good morning after taking a glance at the clock on the top of his phone screen and shooting the text towards his lover.
not much later, while he was cooking his breakfast he saw his phone lights up with the special text tone he had set for jimin only. smiling he checked the text he had received with a picture attached.
from : mimi <3
hi sweet boy, good morning! I'm sorry I left early and didn't shield the sun from you, but the work called urgently and I need to leave asap :((
with his pouty selca crammed under the meeting desk attached.
'he didn't wish our anniversary..' he thought, but still, jungkook saved the picture and make it as his lock screen before shooting back an "it's okay!!" text with his messy bed hair -holding a spatula- selca and continued his cooking.
it's only 9 AM and it's his usual 15th of every month break and he had asked yeonjun to take care of work today and remind him as he's scared it will slip his mind as it's his and jimin's anniversary. he didn't think jimin would be the one going to work though...but he's doing well so far.
when the clock reached 10 AM he definitely didn't expect to get an urgent call from yeonjun asking him to be at work when he made it clear he's on a break.
"what do you mean yeonjun...I told you I couldn't be in today," he said, getting up while gathering his plate.
"I know hyung, I'm so so so sorry but please, we need you at work today." yeonjun said, apologetically and jungkook sighed. "All alright, I'll be there." he had said.
there's no point in staying here anyways, jimin isn't around and neither is any of his friends. so might as well spend it at work.
clad in his ironed suit, he puts on a little bit of jimin's cologne and starts switching off all the switches and electrical appliances before leaving the house with his work bag and keys.
•••
arriving at JJ Enterprise, he didn't expect to see many luxurious cars parked in front. it's a scenario he usually sees if there's an important meeting going on but that's the problem. he doesn't remember any meetings being held.
and so he rushed, everyone shocked to see him today out of all day, and was quick to meet with panting yeonjun. "hyung!" yeonjun screamed. jungkook tilts his head, yeonjun never slips calling him hyung in front of everyone, so definitely not screaming the word. he must have been super tired. jungkook felt a pang in his chest.
"calm down, calm down. what is happening here?" jungkook said, putting his hand up to stop yeonjun who's running towards him with hands full of paper.
"the ET that has just partnered with us for the phone project suddenly held an urgent meeting today! they just pulled up and told me to get you, and if we don't reach you immediately they will call the contract off!" yeonjun said, words fast as he fixes his appearance.
now, jungkook doesn't care about suddenly pulling up, but threatening? that's over the line.
"so call it off," he said, tone strict as he walks to the elevator leaving yeonjun stunned to even utter a word.
slowly breaking, yeonjun then say "what do you mean sir? the phone project is literally our biggest project for the year..." he said, blinking rapidly as jungkook's face seems tight.
"yeah?" jungkook's tone is a mockery. it's scary as fuck. "we can find one next year anyway. I don't like fuckers threatening my company's ability." he said. yeonjun, too intimidated to talk, remains silent and it makes jungkook's chest pang with guilt but he remained silent too.
he himself doesn't even know where this anger even comes from honestly. but he feels so good to curse in that long trip of the elevator towards some snaggy old men.
arriving at the meeting room floor, he puts on a tight smile. not because of the old man and shit tons of workers packing his meeting room, but he smells jimin's cologne in here. but he shrugs it off as he himself put it on, so maybe it's his suit.
walking in, he greets all the people in there "good evening, sirs and madam. may I know what's the matter we're having right now?" he said, trying hard not to lash out as he looks around the room full of the partner's workers.
'fuckers really bring his whole company or something like usual huh.' he thought. as he looks around he did see one man with his head down and not familiar with, but he shrugged it off.
to be completely honest, he's scared if it's a ghost, but we don't talk about that.
the old man scoffs. "you. you're the one who reached out to us saying you want to do this project together and the next thing I know you're on a break?" he said, tone mocking in the way of 'you're-super-lazy-and-useless' towards jungkook.
jungkook took a deep breath and starts taking off his tailored blazer and putting it down neatly. looking towards the man now, he then uncuffed his wrist buttons and speaks
"repeat sir?" he said.
the old man was in a rage. "first you're suddenly taking a break, now you're being deaf??" he screamed. jungkook starts to lose patience as he took off his smile and finishes folding his uncuffed sleeves.
"I said to repeat. not to scream at my face," he said as he looks straight towards the old man. the other huffs in annoyance. he then points to his assistant, "you, repeat my words. youngsters nowadays is super annoying." he said as he glared towards the 'youngsters'
the woman then started to stand up -doesn't miss to bulge her boobs out- and speak on his behalf, "as Mr Shin had said, you, Mr. Jeon, were the one who reached out to us-"
"stop right fucking there," jungkook cut her off. "yeonjun, please bring me the agreement contract." he had said.
"I-I have it right here, Mr Shin's copy." the woman had said. jungkook turns to her and smiles, tight. "nice, open it and fucking read." he said.
flabbergasted, the woman and the other workers who have the paperwork starts reading it. waiting in silence, Mr Shin grew impatient and starts to snatch the paperwork and throw it to jungkook's face.
straight. it went to jungkook's face like a pancake being thrown onto the floor.
jungkook looks up. "I don't have time to proofread bullshits like a kindergartner, just get to work, you're fucking lazy, Jeon. just say that!" Mr Shin raged.
everyone was left in shock as to what is happening. so, taking a deep breath, jungkook stands up from where he had been sat.
"well excuse me, a kindergartner, to speak sir." he said, pushing the 'kindergartner' as he picks up the scattered paper on the floor.
opening the first page, he then pointed to his company's name. right at the top of each paper, written in bold.
"this. right here." he had said. "is my company's name. meaning, YOU, were the one who had asked for this collaboration to make this stupid fucking phone, and we're just agreeing with you, which is why the agreement paper is written in OUR company as we're the biggest shareholder of this, big," moving his hand as an air quote "project." he finished.
Mr Shin and all his workers had stared at jungkook with big eyes, realising their mistake there, and shames starts to bubble in the pit of their stomach.
"and I remember one of your workers came here to beg me for the project, day and night, spamming my inbox, reserving my appointments, even when my usual appointment with Serendipity is always booked." he had said. reminiscing the moment when he was about to cuddle jimin but a knock had disturbed both of them.
jungkook then takes a deep breath and looks straight towards the old man.
"so I don't really think 'Mr Jeon' was the one who reached out to beg Mr Jeon's Project now does he?" he said, voice high in mockery and exaggerated pout playing on his lips. "that would make it as talking to himself hm?" he said again, index and thumb pinching his chin to 'think'.
jungkook chuckles seeing everyone had shut their fucking mouth up, including that rat woman and Mr Shit. he then sits down again and hold out his custom 'cancelled' stamp up and above the paper.
Mr Shin on the other hand was super shocked to see him holding it up. "don't you dare." he had said, teeth gritted as he looks sharp towards jungkook.
jungkook looks up, eyes lazy. he then smirks
"oh, I really dare sir."
and there goes the red-inked, bold, 'cancelled' word on the project paper.
"now get the fuck out of my sight and never send your shit workers to my office anymore. you're having a memory problem, just rest at home and never make people's irate can't you?" profanities by profanities, everyone had gulped in shame -especially Mr Shin as he had forgotten he's the one who asked the project- and started to pack their bag.
"and," jungkook had started, and everyone looks at him again.
"if you're so interested in my company, everyone knows I take a break on 15th, every month." he had said. "I'm not fucking lazy, and unlike you lifeless fuckers, I have a partner and sometimes an anniversary to celebrate, that's why I always take a break and no one ever find me on 15th- especially 15th of September. so you're really playing with my patience right now."
"so get the fuck out before I call the security on you." he had said and was quick to hear the grumbling of an old sag with rushed footsteps leaving the small meeting room
sitting down with a sigh, he was on the verge of bursting out into tears. today were supposed to be a great day, not this emotional stress shits.
as he looks up to make his way home, he saw the guy he's unfamiliar with just now still sitting, still face down but he had moved to face jungkook.
with a tired sigh, he's holding back tears and started to reach for the phone behind him to call the security when the voice speaks up.
"you're not going to call the security on me now are you?"
and jungkook most probably got whiplash.
there, in his all glory sat jimin in all-black attire, hair slicked back but a little messy as he was wearing a hat just now.
jungkook blinks, still standing near the phone, dumbstruck. "j-jimin...?" he had said. jimin hums, standing up and starting to walk towards jungkook. "I'm pretty sure that's my name." he jokes.
arriving in the middle of the room, he opens his arms, as an invitation "no hug for anniversary purpose?" he pouts "that hurts" jimin said.
and jungkook runs and hug jimin tight the others as hard as he can. jimin chuckled, patting jungkook's hair, he had cooed. "I'm sorry, I was supposed to make a surprise in your office, but that old sag really just barged in and demand a meeting while I'm decorating this room...so I just stayed to see you in your work attire." jimin giggle.
"not funny." jungkook slapped his wide hand on jimin's back, emitting an 'oof' from jimin. "I was about to cry my ass out here, why are you doing this to me, I thought you forgot," jungkook pouts.
jungkook's head got lifted as he's now being in the eye level with jimin, "how could I forget the day I asked the most prettiest boy I've ever laid my eyes upon to be my husband?"
jungkook was dumbstruck. "what?" jimin smiled, his eyes turning to double crescent moon, he holds jungkook dearly as he holds jungkook's hands tighter, forehead meeting forehead.
"I don't know if it's super cliche, but I don't want our anniversary to move farther from our past years, and 15th has been part of our life since forever. I become the happiest man on 15th to meet you, being the happiest man on 15th to ask you to be my boyfriend, and now, you would make me jump to the moon and back if you would accept the honour to become my husband on the 15th of September," jimin smiles, jungkook was so stunned tears are coming to work.
moving to kiss jungkook's forehead, he let go of jungkook and went down to one knee. jungkook's eyes went wide.
"so jeon jeongguk, my love, my sweetness, would you do the honour to be my husband?" jimin said, pulling out a brown box, Bvlgari has written in gold on top. as he opened the box, jungkook's eyes had seen the diamond his mom had gifted him before he was hated by her. although it had come from the person he hated the most, he still thinks the diamond is pretty and loved it dearly.
turns out, jimin had taken it from the dresser and custom the ring with 'JM' carved beside the diamond to make the ring.
oh, what a dream. what a dream.
"jungkook?" jimin had squeaked out, scared it might have been too early. but his thought has been cut off by jungkook pulling him up and landing his thin soft lips towards jimin's plump ones. as jimin recovered from the shock, he had kissed jungkook back with much passion.
jungkook was also the one who let go as his feeling overwhelmed him. wiping his smudged eyes, he looks at the love of his life eyes.
"yes. yes, a million yes for me," he said.
jimin had smiled, pulling out the small diamond ring for jungkook and putting it on his ring finger.
holding jungkook's ringed hand, he spoke. "I love you, to the moon, and not going back. im going to grow my love in a special place for you." he had said and kiss jungkook's forehead and wiped his teary eyes.
"I'm so lucky I have accepted the meeting appointment when I was sick. I'm so glad I fight." jungkook had said. "I love you. forever and will never not be."
jimin chuckled. "this was my surprise for the anniversary, what about yours hm?" jimin had put his hand on jungkook's shoulder and played with the hair behind jungkook's nape.
"I'm going to wear white lingerie and let you fuck the living daylight out of me. not much I think," jungkook said as he watched in amusement and giggling by how jimin is choking on his saliva.
the end of daffodil, a beautiful love story.
