10:30 p.m.

Taehyung sighed, glancing over the clock for god knows how many times. He's been like this for a month, waiting for Jungkook to arrive in their home, late at night almost everyday.

He stands to check the food he cooked in the dining table, realizing it's cold again. He has reheated it for a couple of times already, thinking that his boyfriend will arrive any moment now and he doesn't want him to starve after a tiring work he always has.

Taehyung never regrets going back to Jungkook, eventhough they barely see each other due to the younger's demanding work.

Just a month ago, his lover was offered an opportunity to work on a huge modelling company where he's going to be the official photographer.

Taehyung can still remember the joy in his boyfriend's face as he tells him this big news, asking him if it's okay to accept the offer which he gladly agreed on.

He doesn't blame Jungkook for not having enough time with him anymore. He needs to work and enjoy his passion, and Taehyung doesn't want him to hold back just because of his petty shit.

However, Taehyung misses him so much it hurts.

Whenever the younger comes home, they just talk for a short moment before going to bed. They sleep together, but Taehyung still feels that Jungkook is slowly drifting away from him.

Sometimes he thinks that he's so near, just beyond his grasp, yet so far. He missed their simple moments together, like cooking meals, going on small dates, and just spending time cuddling.

Taehyung sighed, reheating the food again. He sets the timer to five minutes, counting on his head as he stares at the food turning inside the oven under the heat.

He was down to three minutes of counting when he heard the door open, Jungkook coming inside, shoulders looking tired.

Taehyung immediately runs toward the raven, his hand automatically peeling off his jacket, kissing his lips in a greeting.

"Hi." Taehyung whispered, smiling brightly at the younger.

Jungkook smiled back, instantly wrapping his arms around Tae's slim waist.

"I'm so tired. Let me recharge." Jungkook murmured, burying his face over Taehyung's soft brunette locks, inhaling the mild cherry blossom scent coming from it.

Taehyung also wraps his arms around his lover's body, basking in the heat that comes in contact to him. He felt all his worries wash away just from the simple touch of their bodies. He felt a surging emotion coming out of his beating heart.

Jungkook stiffened, hearing small quiet sobs coming from the older. He quickly lifted Tae's face, only to see him crying.

"H-hey baby, what's wrong?" Jungkook's voice was soft and full of affection which only made the older cry harder.

The raven caressed Tae's face with both hands, gently wiping away the tears from his eyes.

"Baby, tell me what's wrong." Jungkook whispered, eyes not leaving the brunette's orbs.

Taehyung shakes his head, not wanting to burden the younger even more. He bowed down, looking away from the raven's analyzing eyes.

Jungkook cups his face, carefully lifting it up again until the brunette stares back.

"Baby, please tell me. You know I hate to see you crying." He uttered, face full of concern for the brunette.

Taehyung cried even more, desperately clinging to Jungkook's arms before plunging himself to his body.

"I-I miss you Kookie.. I miss you so much." He confessed in between sobs.

Jungkook felt the longing in his voice, and this hurts him as if a knife is piercing his heart.

"Baby, I'm sorry." He whispered, slowly caressing Taehyung's back, trying to ease his pain.

Jungkook felt guilty. He knows he's been neglecting his responsibilities to his baby because a lot of shit is going on with his work, he even has a photo exhibit two days from now.

"I'm sorry." He apologized one more time, feeling the shaking of Taehyung's body from crying.

The older shakes his head, not wanting Jungkook to apologize for something he can't do something about.

"n-no Kookie, it's not your fault. I-I'm just really being petty, that's all."

Jungkook doesn't agree with this. He knows he's the one to be blamed and he's willing to do all it takes to make it up to the older.

He carries Taehyung bridal style, the older clinging on his neck, still crying. He carefully walks to their bedroom, placing the older male on their bed. He came lying down as well, arms instantly wrapped around Taehyung.

"I'll make it up to you babe. I promise." Jungkook shower's the older's face with kisses. He settles his head in Tae's neck, loving the warm feeling of his flesh.

The two cuddled the whole night, rekindling the love they have for each other. They slept with contentment in their faces.

Taehyung stands in front of the mirror, checking himself for the last time.

Today is the day of Jungkook's photo exhibit that he works on for quite awhile, and he wants Taehyung to attend so they can go on a date afterwards.

The brunette has been picking the perfect attire for this event for an hour, finally settling on a white buttoned down shirt with grayish suit and pants.

(I had to add this cause why not? Tae looks like a total daddy here even though we all know he's a baby. 😉)

He checks on his watch and almost cursed under his breath, realizing he'll be late if he won't hurry up.

He looks at the mirror one last time before heading out where a car awaits him, picking him up.

The drive is not that long, and Taehyung finds himself standing outside a huge building.

He quickly walks toward the door, passing through a couple of people who stare at him and murmur something he doesn't really understand.

He shrugs his shoulder, not really paying attention to them anymore. He went to the usherette standing by the door to ask for the directions.

He was a few meters away from her when her face lights up, smiling brightly at him.

"Mr. Taehyung Kim, you've arrived. This way please."

Okay?

He followed the woman down the hall and into the closed door. She opens the door for him, eyes beaming in excitement.

"Enjoy, Sir."

Taehyung heard her, before stepping inside.

The moment Taehyung's eyes landed on the pictures decorating the walls, his breath instantly hitched. The people inside automatically stared at him, their eyes shocked to see the man in real life.

The muse in every picture inside the hall in flesh, right in front of everyone's eyes.

Taehyung has his mouth opened in utter shock, his eyes brimming in tears as he scans every picture.

It's all him.

There's a picture of him smiling, staring at nothing, sleeping, and even pouting.

Jungkook must have taken them without his knowledge.

He felt his heart beat with joy he can't describe. So this is what Jungkook has been working on everyday. He made sure to capture all of Taehyung's faces with him and turn them to art, amazing everyone.

Taehyung slowly walks forward, eyes scanning the pictures hanging on the wall. His eyes landed on the biggest one, in the middle.

It's a picture of him wearing glasses and smiling brightly like the sun, Jungkook's figure reflecting on the lenses.

This picture captures the moment when Taehyung is happiest and that is when he's with Jungkook.

He walks nearer, hands covering his mouth to prevent his sobs. He saw Jungkook standing near the picture, eyes holding tenderness and love only for him.

Taehyung rushed his movement, plunging himself to the raven into a tight hug. He doesn't care if there are a lot of people staring at them.

As of that moment, he only cares about Jungkook, the man he loves with everything he is, more than himself.

He kissed him in the lips, savoring the greatest feeling he has ever felt in his life.

His love.
