#peregrination

More Tala/Yuriy rough doodles with unstyled hair, this time I was inspired by @kinomiya ‘s fic Peregrination in which Yuriy’s a billionaire playboy with curly hair.

Day 24- Share with us your favorite word (it can be in any language)

Petrichor and peregrination. I also love hygge and, randomly, the Spanish word for carrots: zanahorias. It’s just fun to say

Day 25- Tag someone who has great textposts

@lakevida ! Love your blog!

Day 26- what has been your best zoomester experience so far?

OH OH OH MY GOSH OKAY so I’m in this pretty niche program at my school, right? The multidisciplinary studies program is still new and not a lot of people know about it. (There’s maybe like 2 thousand people enrolled in it? Give or take?) A few semesters ago, I had to take this “intro to multidisciplinary” class, and the prof was the woman in charge of all the outreach for the program. Apparently she thought I was a solid representative of the program, so she asked me to speak to incoming freshman about my experience in the program and what I liked about it. It went really well, so she invited me back to speak several more times. Each time has been super fun and educational. I absolutely love imparting Wisdom ™️ to the younger kiddos. I try to provide the information I wish someone had told me, and I hope that it makes a difference in their college experience.

Day 27- If you’re about to graduate, what’s something that you’ll miss from school? If you aren’t about to graduate, tell us something you really love about school.

I think I’ll miss the structure of it. Knowing that once I finish I’ll have something to prove that all the pain work was worthwhile.

Day 28- Spill the tea about the things that you’ve done during the zoomester (Online shopping, courses taken, any hobby)

Quilting/sewing, composing, baking, and reading around the world are all hobbies that arose out of quarantine boredom. I’ve done a lot more language learning in quarantine too! I’ve also gotten better at brewing tea, but I dunno if that counts as a hobby. Just think of that opening song in Tangled (When Will My Life Begin) and that’s how my quarantine’s been going. 😂

Day 29- Quick! Name your own aesthetic! or alternatively, what’s an aesthetic you’d like to try out?

Chapter 12.

Conceal (v) -  keep (something) secret; prevent from being known or noticed

You stare at the sky wide-eyed. You clear your throat as your eyebrows furrow. You must have heard him wrong. You've been dating for one day. "Y/N?" Jeongguk asks quietly as a strong breeze blows. He asked you to move in with him. What would you say? You weren't ready, right? That'd be too fast. Although, you technically have known him for years upon years. He was the most comfortable part of yourself. He made up a large piece of who you are and you know it was vice versa. Jeongguk swallows awkwardly before looking down at his hands. "I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry." He mumbles looking out at the flower beds in front of him. You sit up quickly putting your forehead to his shoulder. "Can I have some time to think about it?" You ask him. Jeongguk smacks his lips together before closing his eyes and sighing. He kisses the top of your head and hugs you tightly to him, “Of course you can. Sorry for being so abrupt about it.” He says into your hair. Jeongguk takes a second taking in your green tea scented hair, “I’m just excited, you don’t know how long I’ve been waiting to hold you in my arms and I just don’t ever want to let you go.” Jeongguk whispers making you smile. You squeeze him tighter taking in a deep breath. “I’m not going anywhere, so we can take our time.” An old woman approaches with a small white refrigeration cart, “Excuse me, ma’am!” Jeongguk says happily putting your legs off of him and down on the floor. The older woman approaches with a smile, she lefts her long visor that she’s her from the sun as she looks at Kookie. “What are you selling?” Jeongguk asks cutely, you fold your arms and smile at his aegyo as you cross your legs. “Yakult and some ice creams.” She says stopping the cart, she opens up the top of the cart as Jeongguk peaks in. “Ah! Y/N! Ahjumma has our favorites!” Jeongguk says looking over at you happily, you pull down your face mask with a smile. “I’ll take the red bean and the dwaejibar please!” Jeongguk says pulling out his wallet. He pulls off his face mask and the old lady looks him over. “You sure are handsome! Look at you!” She says putting her hands on his face and squeezing his cheeks, he chuckles wrinkling his nose before bowing. “Thank you.” She looks over at you and winks before digging out the ice creams. Jeongguk hands her 10,000 won before handing you the ice creams. “Ahjumma, make sure you drink water today. It’s very hot out in the sun!” You tell her as she thanks Jeongguk for his purchase. “Ey! You are sweet! I will!” She says ask she continues down the garden path. Jeongguk sits down next to you before kissing your cheek. “You’re sweeter than this ice cream.” He teases opening up his popsicle. “When I want to be.” You say nonchalanty ripping open the packaging of your dwaejibar. (First off if y’all haven’t had one, shit is LIT okay. It’s a vanilla ice cream bar FILLED with strawberry sauce and it has chocolate pieces on the outside. Shit is fire. If you ever go to Korea please EAT IT!) 

You munch happily as Jeongguk licks his popsicle. “When we get back, it’ll be so much fun to tell the guys we’re dating.” You stop for a second before swallowing your ice cream. “We can’t tell them!” You say quickly shaking your hand wide-eyed. Jeongguk looks over confused, “Why not?” He asks raising an eyebrow. “Well...Because...” You stutter closing your eyes trying to comprehend why you’re actually against it. “Wouldn’t it make them feel awkward if they saw us together all the time?” Jeongguk puts his popsicle into the bag it came in. “They see us all the time together anyway.” He says getting irritated. You smack your lips together feeling the stickiness from the ice cream, “Yeah but won’t they feel uncomfortable seeing us as a couple?” You ask nervously, the vanilla ice cream begin to run down your pinky from the stagnant heat of the day. Jeongguk rolls his eyes before looking at you sadly, “Why do you even care?” He whines, “Because they’re our friends too. Stop thinking about it selfishly and put yourself in Namjoon’s shoes or Hoseok’s.” You say putting your hand on his knee. Jeongguk has always been selfish, you know this but sometimes it just take a bit of an extra something to make him see reason. Jeongguk stares past you as he thinks. Any way he sees it, it’s unfair to the both of you. “It doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to be all lovey dovey in the privacy of our homes, we’ll still kiss and be together and fuck and do all those things.” Jeongguk looks over at you as you say the word fuck, a sly smirk spreading over his face. “Go on.” He mutters making you shove his knee with a laugh, “I just want to show you off y’know, like telling the hyungs, ‘Wah! I got the girl of my dreams.’” You look around before standing up, “IU is here? Where is she?” Jeongguk cringes before pulling your hand. “Shut up! You know that’s just a crush!” You stick your tongue out playfully as Jeongguk pulls you on to his lap. “You do know that we have to be private about it anyway, right?” Jeongguk nods sullenly before squeezing you and rocking you in his arms. “I know. We’ll hide it from the guys until we’re ready. Okay? I’ll try not to be as selfish with you. I promise.” Jeongguk kisses your temple before taking out his popsicle once more. “Eat the ice cream before it melts, baby.” Jeongguk mutters before kissing you gently.

You sit in the car tapping the dashboard as you wait for Jeongguk to get in the car. “Are we going back to my apartment or your house?” Jeongguk asks as he places the kimchi your mother gave him on the floor of the backseat. You look behind the drivers seat at him. “Then it would be like we live together anyway.” You say narrowing your eyes at him. “Then just move your stuff in slowly into my apartment and sell the house and we’ll save it in the bank for our kids tuition.” Jeongguk says nonchalantly barely moving his lips, he fixes his black jean jacket as you whine loudly. “Yah! Stop saying stuff like that!” You complain to him as he shuts the back door. He opens the front door to the car before jumping in and putting on his face mask. “Stop being so embarrassed at me saying that stuff. It’s almost as if you like it.” He says starting the car, you blush before putting your face on the door sighing loudly. “Why are you like this?” You mutter as he grabs your hand and intertwining your fingers. “Because you’re my girl.” He says giving an insouciant shrug as he starts to drive. He stares ahead at the road, a small smile creeping on to his face as he takes off down the road. Your hand fit perfectly in his and while you were sulking over the embarrassing words that made your heart flutter, Jeongguk couldn’t help but think about how lucky he was to be in this situation. You on the other hand felt guilty, guilty that you felt like you were hiding something from Kookie. Guilty that you were you but not in the truest sense. Jeongguk raises your hand as he pulls down his face mask with his pinky before kissing the back of your hand. “So my apartment then.” Jeongguk says breaking the silence in the car. You huff out before sitting up straight. “Fine, we’ll go to your apartment.” Jeongguk chuckles before squeezing your hand. “You make it sound so miserable, you have many things of your over my apartment. You have clothes and a toothbrush, all you need to bring is your birth control and that’s it. I could take care of everything else.” He boasts, you snort leaning back into the comfy seat. “Stop talking about it, you know I said I have to think about it.” Jeongguk laughs gently puling his face mask back up. “You know I don’t let things go easily.” That was true, when he puts his mind to something nothing can deter him from it. You put on some music making Jeongguk hum along, hoping that it would take his mind off it. “ Tell me what I got to do, hurry and turn on the bluetooth.” Jeongguk sings to Zico as he picks up speed driving back toward home.

“Matter of fact, don’t bring your birth control.” Jeongguk says as you enter the streets of Seoul as you stop in traffic. “Why?” You ask with a laugh, “Then we can get out family started early and get it out of the way.” You shove his shoulder making him give a silently chuckle as he opens his mouth and wrinkles his nose. “You better find something else to talk about before I roll myself out of this car while it’s in motion.” You mumble making Jeongguk laugh loudly, “I was just thinking it, don’t couples openly share their thoughts to each other.” “Yeah but it’s more ike what do you want to eat? Today work went like this. Today you won’t believe what I saw.” Jeongguk nods snortingas he takes off as the light turns gree. “I got it, I got it. Let me see. Today I went to the flower garden with my new girlfriend. I say new but I’ve been dying to be with her for years. She doesn’t really know how precious she is to me, yet. But, I think she’ll see after a while. We saw this old lady and we got ice cream. Then we went back to her parents house and as they were out probably praying for us, I fucked her in the shower like the dirty girl she is-” You smack his thigh with a laugh making him yelp. “OW! Babe!” He yells befoe pushing his hair back. “I’m not done with my story, so I fucked her good, DON’T HIT ME, then my girlfriends mother gave me a lot of banchan to take home so I can eat meals at home with my girlfriend.” Jeongguk tilts his head before sticking his tongue to cheek, “My girlfriends dad was saying all sorts of weird things and giving me ginseng so I could get manly energy. Probably to give him grandchildren.” You raise your hand and he flinches with a loud laugh. “YOUR DAD SAID IT! Your dad literally handed me the ginseng we picked yesterday and told me to make tea before bed and drink it so he could have a grandchild.” You blush furiously lowering the window and sticking your head out feeling the cool wild flush against your warm face. “See? I’m not the only one who wants you to have my kids!” Jeongguk says shutting off the music, he puffs out his cheeks happily as he watches you stare at the road as you drive. “What else happened? What else? Ah! I asked my cute, sexy girlfriend to move in with me but she said she had to think about it but I know she’ll move in with me. After sleeping next to her I don’t think I’ll be able to be without her.” Jeongguk says as teases you. “Yah.” You mumble putting your hands to your cheeks as you pull yourself back into the car. Jeongguk chuckles to himself, as he grabs a hold of your hand once more. “I’ll stop. I’ll stop.” Jeongguk says getting a hold of himself.

Garen knelt by the artifact and picked up the magical stone. He didn’t bother dusting himself off, the weight of it felt heavy in his hand. How many lives were sacrificed? All for just this one little stone. He was glad he intervened when he did. The opposing parties were at each others throats for years, each side vying for the power within the stone. It only served to reaffirm his dislike of magic.

The old building that housed the magical stone was new, and built hastily. It was no wonder it was torn apart so easily by enemy invaders. The stink of bodies, hot metal and ash permeated the air and choked his senses. Garen coughed and used the blue cloth around his neck to block out some of the smoke. That didn’t stop it from stinging his eyes and blurring his senses. Burned wood smoked and crackled, parts of the building still smoldering. He emerged, dazed and confused, unsure which side he had come out of. One of his lieutenants was running up the hill to check on him, his worried face a relief to the tired general. 

That’s when he felt the first pull.

Garen tried to walk forward but was shoved back by an invisible force. Confused, he tried again, his feet sliding in the grass as he was forced backwards once more. He couldn’t figure out what exactly was wrong until he saw the lieutenant stop abruptly, eyes wide and mouth agape at something behind Garen. 

He tried to look behind him to see what caused the shocked reaction, but his hand suddenly stared to burn. The stone artifact was glowing bright and hot in his hand, and before he knew it something sucked him backward and for Garen, the world went white. He was deaf as well as blind for only a moment, but it was enough to disorient him.

The next thing he knew, he was face first on the floor. Or what he hoped was the ground. It felt like he had been flung by a catapult and landed just as gracefully as he might have imagined. He gasped for breath, his hair and skin singed and smoking. The parts of him beneath his armor were untouched by whatever it was that just happened to him. He cursed and groaned as he tried to roll over. Maybe his lieutenant would have a better idea of what happened.

Instead of his lieutenant, Garen looked up to see bizarre creatures hovering around him. Panic set in, and the soldier rose quickly. He stumbled to his feet and pain shot through his body. He finally dropped the blackened stone that had nearly adhered itself to his closed fist, now devoid of any magical properties it had.

Damnable magic.

Chapter 13.

intoxicate (v) -  (of alcoholic drink or a drug) cause (someone) to lose control of their faculties or behavior.

Jeongguk stands awkwardly, his hands clasped together in front of him as Jimin gets up, eyes narrowed at the both of you. "Did I just witness what I think I just witnessed?" You clear your throat and look at Jimin wearily. "I mean... I just... We.." Jeongguk stutters before looking down at the floor. Jimin goes wide eyed before copying Jeongguk's stutter. "We.. He... She... I mean... Just... Just what?!" He says loudly, you step forward. "Jimin, it's just that-." Jimin yells incoherently before putting his finger to his lips. "Jeongguk, did I just witness what I think I did?" He asks putting his hand up blocking your face from his vision. Jeongguk stands up straighter before picking his head up. "Yeah, Y/N's my girlfriend." Jeongguk says before giving you a smile. You look at Jimin as he assesses the information. You both stand with baited breath as Jimin looks at you both with his hand over his mouth. "We went to my parents and we just y'know got together." You say feeling your ears get hot. "You mean you defiled each other." Jeongguk side eyes you as Jimin slams himself back down on the couch. "So you're in a relationship then? None of that friends with benefits stuff?" You shake your head, "Y/N is my girlfriend." Jimin blinks once before tilting his head. "Cool! So what's for dinner? I'm starving!" He says standing up and walking past you. You look at Jeongguk as he looks at you wide eyed. "You can't like... Tell anyone. Or anything." You tell Jimin confused by his actions as he picks up the bags on the floor. "Marinated crabs? Hell yeah!" Jimin says happily putting the bags in Jeongguk's kitchen. "Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. Secret relationship until Y/N gets all pregnant because Jeongguk can't keep his peepee in his pants." Jimin mutter waving his hand as he digs through the bags. Jeongguk chuckles gently before kissing the top of your head. "I keep telling her to just let me give her a baby." Jeongguk says walking over and grabbing a water from the fridge. "Ew!" Jimin says putting down the pickled cucumbers. He looks up and shoves Jeongguk with a mouth full of food. "I'm eating! You nasty kid!" Jimin yells through his food. "Don't talk with your mouth full." You tease Chim as you sit down on the couch. Jimin swallows his food before running past Jeongguk and jumping on the couch next to you. "Just because your Kook's girlfriend doesn't mean you're going to abandon your best friends, right?" Jimin asks you with a cute pout. You snort before ruffling his hair. "Of course not, I love you guys." "But, you love me more right?" Jeongguk asks sitting on the other end of the couch. You give him a knowing smile making him chuckle. "Hyung, did you know that Y/N is moving in with me?" You open your mouth to refute Jeongguk's statement, "That's awesome! You guys will be able to hang out all the time. What about the house?" Jimin answers excited, you were taken aback by his excitement. Maybe it wasn't so far fetched then... "She's going to sell it and save the money for our babys tuition." "Yah!" You yell at Jeongguk as he chuckles quietly before sipping his water. "What's wrong with him?" Jimin asks looking at you with a laugh, "I don't know. He's ridiculous." You say making Jimin laugh. "He falls in love and he acts like a moron." Jimin jokes leaning back into the couch. "I didn't fall in love." Jeongguk says loudly making you snicker along with Jimin.

"Ah, are we hiding this from Tae?" Jimin asks as you three munch on fried chicken take out. "He has a big mouth, that hyung." Jeongguk says looking over at you. You nod understanding what he means. Taehyung can never keep his mouth shut even if he knew what is best for him. "Alright then, but it defeats the purpose of the key tattoo." Jimin mutters under his breath as he picks up a chicken wing. You make eye contact with Jeongguk and he shakes his head as if to tell you to let it go. "Well I'm happy you finally figured out that you were right for each other. I was getting so tired of how Jeongguk would look so longingly at you and then pussy out before saying anything." You snort choking on your cola. Jeongguk frowns deeply, "I did NOT!" He whines putting his head back. "Uh, yes. You did. I can attest to it." "Hyung." Jeongguk whines loudly, "It was kind of cute in a gross puppy dog kind of way. Kind of like how Y/N complained about being in love with you that one time while she was wasted." You cough loudly flapping your arms wildly. "I DID NOT!" You scream standing up. Jeongguk puts his tattooed hand in front of his mouth as he chuckles. "Oh really? Tell me about it." He says leaning in pulling the hood of his black hoodie up. You can't recall that memory, "I don't remember that so it didn't happen." You say folding your arms as you look down at Jimin. He scoffs before grabbing his beer and leaning back into the couch. "Just because you don't remember, doesn't mean it didn't happen. I remember that night really well." You roll your eyes as he takes a sip of his beer. "It was two years ago I think, or last year..."

You hop out of the cab with Jimin on your tail as you walk towards your house. Jeongguk was visiting his parents and brother in Busan but you missed him. It always felt like a part of you was missing if you didn't see him every day. "I'm so tired, why are schedules so constant influxed?" Jimin comments as you unlock your door. You were probably the only person in Korea to still use keys. It made you feel safer. "Well at least we have off for a few days." You reply taking off your shoes. Jimin does the same before running into the living room and jumping on the couch. "That's what I mean though, we have off for three days conescutively and then BAM Run BTS, practice for concert, practice for comeback, get our hair re-dyed, do commercials. I'm tired man." You pout as he sits up carding his fingerd through his blonde hair. "Hwaiting." You say walking through the living room and dining room before reaching your kitchen. "Red or white wine?" You call to Jimin. "White!" He replies as you grab two large stemmed wine glasses. "Is Taehyung coming over?" You ask pulling out your wine opener and the bottle of white wine. "He's going out with Yuna after the studio, he'll be here later." Jimin calls back, you give a nod to yourself before walking back out juggling everything easily. You sit back on the couch as Jimin leans forward opening the bottle up. "So, you missing Kookie yet?" Jimin asks nonchalantly as he pours you a glass of wine. You scoff loudly before rolling your eyes. "No! Why would you even ask that?" You say loudly, Jimin hands you the glass before smirking. "Okay, don't have to get so defensive." You grab the glass before narrowing your eyes at him. "I'm not being defensive." He hums in agreement before leaning back into your couch. "To friendship that last forever." Jimin says before smiling at you. "Cheers!" You say before clinking glasses with him and taking a sip. You stare off at the wall of collage pictures before tapping your finger against the cup of your glass. Jimin follows your gaze before smiling. "I like the picture from when we went to Jamaica for your birthday. Although you only have a picture of you and Jeongguk which makes me feel like the lame best friend, third wheel shitter." Jimin mumbles making you chuckle, "The picture of all eight of us is right there." You point to a picture of you all on the beach. "We took plenty of selcas that are not on that wall." Chim deadpans at you. You take a sip of your wine before clicking your teeth. "What are you trying to say, Chimmy?" He sighs loudly before pouting, "That you love Jeongguk more than me and Tae and you want to love him forever and make babies." You go wide eyed, "Shut up! I do not!" He purses his lips before folding his arms. "Yeah. Uh-huh. Whatever you say." You scoff before putting your feet up on the table. "Annoying ass." You mutter to him.

Yoongi and Taehyung finally arrived at your house after their time at the studio. You were drunk, beyond drunk actually. The proper term is black out. Yoongi watches you with his tongue to the roof of his mouth as he laughs at you. "How much have you had to drink?" He asks as you throw yourself onto the couch. "Enough Min Min, enough." You say putting your finger to your numb lips before giggling, Jimin watches you with humourous delight as he runs his fingers through his hair. "She's been like this for an hour already." Jimin tells them, Yoongi lets out a chuckle before sipping on his wine. "Why are you drinking so much anyway?" Taehyung asks lifting your head on to his lap. You stare at the ceiling as the room spins before shutting your eyes. "Because I wanted to, okay?" You snap putting your hand over your eyes. "Ew. Rude. Fine." Taehyung mumbles folding his arms and pouting. "There has to be some reason behind it." Jimin mumbles to Yoongi, you look over at him quickly before huffing out loudly. "I'll tell you but it's a secret. Like, a secret secret." You say sitting up and sticking out your pinky as Jimin sways in your view. He grips your pinky before smirking, you being drunk was always so funny to him. He always thought it was adorable. "I promise." He says leaning in and looking you with a big smile, eyes closed and all teeth. "I miss him." You whisper, he looks over at Taehyung quickly and Taehyung lets out a silent snort as he covers his mouth. "Who?" Yoongi asks getting nosy as he leans in. "You know who!" You yell throwing your head back as if you were about to have a tantrum. "You have to be specific." Taehyung says before widening his eyes as you throw yourself back. "You know, that really cute kid we helped raise to be one of the most handsome, down to Earth, kindest boys out there." Yoongi clears his throat leaning back letting Jimin's small body block him as he laughs silently shutting his eyes. Everyone could see what effect you have on Jeongguk but no one has ever seen you acting like this before. "He just left me all alone and went all the way home without me. Like I don't know his parents! Or his brother! You know? I-I-I should have been invited! But. He left and now I'm just sad because I just wanna hug and watch that stupid fucking t.v. show he likes that I've seen seven times over." You ramble, Taehyung takes a big sip of his wine as if motioning he was sipping tea. "Uh-huh." Jimin goads you on, "Right? And I mean like yeah! You're so hot! But, also you're my best friend? Right? Like back off! Don't fucking look at me like you want to fuck me!" Yoongi chokes on his wine before hurling forward and coughing loudly. Jimin and Taehyung stay silent as they stare at each other with humour alight in their eyes. "So what if I kind of love you but don't say anything?" Their eyes widen as they look in any other direction from you as you rant waving your hands wildly. "You would think he would be a man and make a move already but that would ruin our friendship and that's what's most important or whatever!" You yell smacking yourself in the forehead as you rock front to back. Taehyung opens his mouth to speak as you fall back closing your eyes. "Jeon Jeongguk! I LOVE YOU. OKAY? ARE YOU HAPPY? YOU CAN GO BACK TO BEING MY BEST FRIEND! I'LL NEVER DATE YOU! HAPPY NOW? YOU HANDSOME LITTLE PRICK!" You scream loudly to the silent house. Yoongi scratches at his head with an awkward smile before looking over at you. "Do you mean that? Do you really love our Kookie?" He asks happily, you don't respond. "Y/N?" Taehyung asks shaking your shoulder, you fall over to your right, mouth open ajar as you sleep. "Well then." Yoongi says with a laugh as he drinks his wine. "Time to watch the be frustrated over each other until they either die or get together." Jimin says raising his wine glass with a laugh as the rest of the guys clink their glasses to his.

Chapter 11.

Tenderness (n) - feelings of deep affection ; devotion

Jeongguk wakes up with a jump as the door upstairs slams closed. He groans quietly before feeling your naked body press closer to him as you tuck your face closer to his chest. Yesterday feels like a dream, a beautiful experience that Jeongguk couldn't possibly wrap his head around. He finally did it, you were his girlfriend! He smiles up at the ceiling raising his eyebrows, you wriggle against him and he takes this opportunity to look down at your naked figure. "Wow." He whispers tracing his fingers delicately over your tattooed arm. He almost had an idea of how this would be but now that he fully gets to experience it is something so amazing on its own. You turn away from him as you continue to sleep. Your hair splayed out over the pillow. Jeongguk sits up before leaning in a kissing your bare back. He slides out of bed trying not to wake you before slipping on a t-shirt and sweatpants getting ready to sneak over to the door. The room smelled like sex making him smirk, he really got to do that with you. He opens the door quietly opening his mouth as he sneaks out.

He steps into the hallway trying to be feather footed and slowly closes the door behind him. Jeongguk peaks down the long hallway, his eye drifting all over to see if he could locate your parents. He was nervous to see them after what you both did last night. He guessed they they heard you both, it was pretty loud as he replays the night in his head. As he walks down the hallway, he takes in the childhood pictures of you. The ones of you with your parents at Disneyworld Japan, you on a set of swings, you without three front teeth as you smile making him chuckle and lean back against the wall. Jeongguk smiles to himself as he pushes himself off the staircase wall and continues down the hallway. He looks at a picture before doing a double take, your parents had put up the picture of your birthday two years ago. It was a selfie of you and Jeongguk smiling on the London Eye. He folds his arms before sniffing, “Aish, look how cute we are.” He mumbles to himself before sighing happily. Jeongguk finally gets to the end of the hallway before peaking up the winding stairs. The house was very quiet. He scurries off towards the kitchen before finding a note on the fridge. “Gone out for the day, see you both tonight! Mom is making samgyetang.” Jeongguk smiles widely before thinking back to what your dad was saying to him yesterday. Your dad was making jokes about how his son-in-law needs to know the business of ginseng so he could pass it on. He also made a joke about how ginseng is good for a mans sex drive. Jeongguk snorts before opening the fridge and grabbing a water bottle. Maybe if they’re out of the house you both could go on a date!

Jeongguk jogs back to the room before opening the door, you were just getting up, rubbing your eyes. “SEXY LADY!” Jeongguk screams loudly in English with a smile before jumping on you. “Kook!” You yell laughing, smacking his arm. Jeongguk looks down at you as he fixes his position. “Hi, sexy.” He mumbles before bending down and kissing you gently. You kiss back before smiling. “Parents?” You ask him as he jumps up and down above you, “They went out for the day.” You look at your phone before nodding. “It’s Sunday. They went to church and then they’ll go to a bible barbeque.” Jeongguk snorts before bending down and kissing you again. “So then, I know how to start our day.” You raise an eyebrow, “How?” Jeongguk licks his lips before looking at your breasts, “The best way possible.” He whispers rolling off of you. He pulls you on top of him before putting his tongue to his cheek. "Let's go on a date." He says before wrinkling his nose. He giggles as you lay down flat on his body. "Unless you want me to fill you up again." He whispers gently into your ear, making you blush. "It's a bit sore." You admit making him chuckle, "A date it is then. Put on some clothes." He says before tweaking your nipple. "Yah!" You yell smacking him on the shoulder. He chuckles before picking you up and setting you down on the floor. "We can to the garden that you like or we can walk by the water." You tell him as you open up your small luggage. "Ah! That sounds fun!" Jeongguk cheers clappily quickly. You grab a black bra and panties before slipping them on. "I'm not going to put on any make up on today, you'll have a fresh boyfriend look today." Jeongguk says happily before jumping out of bed. "You don't need make up." You tell him as you grab your ripped black jeans and a short at the front, long in the back t-shirt with the Gucci symbol all over them. "Oh! I got you that shirt." Jeongguk says smiling widely you slip it on before twirling around. "How does it look?" You ask as he walking towards you putting his arms out. "You look beautiful, as always." He says before bending down and kissing you wrapping his arms around your shoulders. He pulls away before smirking. "Baby?" He whispers before wrinkling his nose, he tilts his head looking at you expectantly. "Baby." He says louder making you snort and nod. "Yes." "Baby." He says seriously before fixing your hair behind your ear, "Yes?" You ask louder. He puts his tongue to his cheek before widening his eyes. "BABY?" He yells and you snap your fingers before nodding understanding. "Babe." You say back and Jeongguk gives you his bunny smile. "I love that word from your mouth." He says before picking his suitcase up off the floor and throwing it onto the bed. "The garden will be beautiful today. I brought my camera so we can take pictures!" Jeongguk says oulling his camera out of his suitcase. "What should I wear today?" He asks as you comb your hair. "Anything you want. You look good no matter what." He tilts his head before looking back down at his clothes folded nicely. "I'll go simple." He says pulling out blue ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. "Which belt?" He asks holding up two designer belts. You swallow looking at the expensive items. "The black one." He nods happily before slipping on boxers. His whole aura oozes confidence and sexiness making you bite your lip. "Are you going to fix my hair today hairstylist or can I wear a hat?" You smirk over at him before grabbing your comb. "I don't have all my stuff to do your hair." You say as he sits on the bed putting his head back so you can comb his hair. "I'll be so sad when management tells me to cut your hair." You say as he scratches over his half sleeve of tattoos. "Oh, so you like me because of my hair? Shallow." You roll your eyes before kissing the top of his head, "Shut up." You mutter before combing through his thick brown hair. "I want a cool hair color." You raise an eyebrow. "Do you mean cool as in when you fucking dyed your hair half red on your own to get back at me for not being able to hang out with you that night?" Jeongguk chuckles silently opening his mouth wide and nodding his head slightly while laughing. "Should have just said you were going to hang out with me." You shove him with a breathy scoff. "Wasn't my fault that you're a baby. You were filming!" Jeongguk wrinkles his nose before turning around and hugging your waist. "But now I'm your baby." You laugh putting your head back as he rests his cheek on your breast. "Oh, comfy."

The garden as you presumed earlier was gorgeous, so many flowers were in bloom on this fine spring day. "Look at these flowers!" Jeongguk says happily picking up the camera around his neck. You smile folding your arms as he pulls down his face mask. Your parents town was relatively quiet and the people that owned houses around here had lots of money, not many people went to the garden but just to be safe you both wore face masks. "This is a very healing place. You remember when we came here with the guys? The day when Taehyung was chased down by the bees?" You laugh with a nod recalling the incident. “You guys always have so much fun going out. It’s so nice to see.” Jeongguk picks the camera up and takes a few shots of you walking ahead of him. “You’ve been a big part of that too, y’know. You are a big part of us even if ARMY and others don’t see it. You, Jisung hyung, Ha Won, you all make us who we are. You’ve been with us for so long that you’re our family too.” Jeongguk says looking down at the pictures he took of you before smiling. You turn your head towards him and smile widely. “You’re all my family too.” He smirks before tilting his head quickly. “If it’s family we’re talking about I would be the equivalent to your husband while Namjoon hyung is your annoying older brother, right?” Jeongguk asks stopping next to some white daisies. You roll your eyes with a snort. “Yeah, yeah. Exactly.” Jeongguk winks at you before pulling down his black face mask. “Let’s go sit down. My legs hurt.” Jeongguk mutters before walking next to you, “Why is that?” He stops for a second before intertwining his fingers into yours. This was your first time holding hands and it just felt... right. Your small hand fitting perfectly into his as he begins to swing them cutely as you continue to walk. A small smile plays on his lips as he scratches at his neck. “Because fucking you really took a toll on my legs.” “Yah!” You say smacking his shoulder with a laugh. “You asked.” He mumbles before spotting a bench betwen two shaded trees.
