Those same words repeat like a mantra in his head, as he looked at the empty seat across their dinner table.

This was another night Taehyung has stood him up, and another night he had to throw away the cold food that mocked him to no end. Only this time he threw away his own food as well, losing his appetite at the thought of eating alone in their spacious apartment.

The man he loves and gave his heart to has now broken yet another promise.

Jungkook just sighed as he wiped his hands after cleaning up the dishes, taking his phone in his hands he read the time.

11:43 pm

He understood that it was a tough job being a CEO, especially since Taehyung was handling one of the biggest companies in Korea at the moment. It would be nice however if Taehyung had been more upfront instead of making an empty promise.

Jungkook shook his head and walked to the bathroom to freshen up and prepare for bed. In his head he felt ridiculous, pathetic even.

'I'm not a modern-day housewife for God's sake'

Jungkook thought to himself as warm water splashed against his body.

No matter how much he convinced himself that he was overthinking the whole situation, it still didn't stop the tinge of pain that he felt in his heart. These nights had happened so often, yet Jungkook never got used to the emotional pain it brought.

Of course, the next morning when Jungkook asks him about his whereabouts Taehyung would give him the regular short answer.

'Things have just been tough at work baby'

In all honesty, Jungkook doesn't know why his husband is so flooded by work. Jungkook doesn't know when or how it started but Taehyung slowly stopped talking about what's been happening at the company. Instead, he gave short and vague answers. It had gotten to the point where Jungkook has stopped asking all together since it never led to anything meaningful.

Jungkook isn't used to Taehyung being so distant. Usually, his husband would come home and rant off about everything that happened in his day. He'd give every single detail, down to what he ate and who he met. It's one of the things that Jungkook liked about Taehyung, he was an open book.

Jungkook was the same way, telling Taehyung everything he could after photoshoots. Although, being a photographer never gave much crazy experiences. Taehyung still listened as if it was one of the most interesting stories he's ever heard.

Now, it feels like they barely communicate at all...

After washing up, Jungkook slid himself under their duvet. The cold sheets pressing against his skin giving him goosebumps. For the first time in their 4 years of marriage, the smaller male had never felt so alone.

Jungkook laid there, trying his best to sleep away his worries. Until finally he had enough of his anxious thoughts, he picked up his phone and decided to text the subject of his worry.

To: My tiger <33

From: Mr. bunnie

2:03 AM

Where are you? Can you please come home... idc if you missed dinner... just come home.

Sending the text, Jungkook let out a sigh.

'He obviously won't read it right away 'kook! You just have to wait'
