Seokjin's Pov:

"Not only are the babies doing well, but so are you! I am happy to see that." As he assisted me in sitting up on the bed, Jimin informed me. "How have you been feeling? Have you been experiencing a lack of energy?"

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate for him to ask me these questions before he told me I was doing well? I am interested in learning about his background and how he became a doctor.

"I am doing fine."

"That's nice to hear since I had the impression that Mr. Jeon would be with you today, which is why I didn't object to the visit taking place in the office. If I had known things would turn out differently, I would have visited you instead."

I don't know why everyone believed I needed to be confined to the home while they were allowed to go anywhere they pleased outdoors. What difference does it make if Jungkook isn't here? Is going to the doctor's office alone a punishable offense?

After adjusting my clothing, I stood up from the bed and glanced at Jimin. My nerves settled down as I gazed at him, and it was very difficult for me to act impolitely toward him. He was charming and good-looking, even though he lacked some skills and knowledge where he needed it most.

"Jungkook is not my bodyguard, nor is it necessary for him to follow me everywhere I go. I can go to my appointments on my own; moreover, he is too busy being a CEO to worry about me or my appointments."

I go to most of my appointments alone, at home or in the office, so I am not sure why he was expecting Jungkook to be there suddenly.

"I understand. However, I think he worries about you and the appointments as he usually calls me before and after."

"Why?"

"Well, it's just to check in."

Lies.

"Are you afraid of him?"

Jimin looked away from me, "I wouldn't say I am afraid of him, but-"

"You are afraid of him. Got it, now why does he call you before and after my appointments?"

"Well, he often calls ahead of time to find out my treatment plan before I meet with you. I also have to go over the previous visit with him because he wants to compare whether or not I thoroughly recalled what I had told him previously, and then he will let me know if it matched up correctly. Before I can disclose the findings of your blood work with you, I have to first go through them with him.

After each appointment, I must follow up with him by providing him with an update on what transpired, as well as advising him of the subsequent appointment and the purpose of the appointment. Oh, and I am required to inform him at all times of the location of each baby, in addition to providing my assessment of your overall health."

Where did he find time to do all of this? That was my first thought.

"So, did you talk to him before this appointment?"

"Yes, it was at that point that I realized you were going to come by yourself."

At the very least, it seems that he is concerned.

"Okay, thanks for letting me know. My husband is busy; as you know, being a CEO takes a lot of work. Well, maybe you don't know, but it does. He, however, always makes me a priority, as you can see, to think of our babies and me."

As Jimin gazed at me, I heard him laugh and remark, "Mr. Jeon was absolutely right when he said you are one of a kind."

Wait, they talk about me?

"He talks to you about me? Why?"

"No, not like that. I will never stop feeling guilty about what I did, even though I am relieved that things worked out well for the both of you. However, Mr. Jeon once explained why I shouldn't feel bad about it because he sees you as his perfect companion."

As he should.

"I can understand; he tells me the same thing repeatedly. Because of your mistake, he received a priceless present and owes you a sincere expression of gratitude. I really hope you get a good payment from him. It's within his financial means to pay you well."

Jimin broke into a grin as he said, "He has given me far more than I deserve, and I will be eternally thankful to the two of you for enabling me to continue practicing medicine and for being so good to me. My oversight was serious, and while I regret it, I am relieved that, for the time being, I will only be responsible for your care as my patient. This will allow me to regain my concentration on several issues. Even my husband and I have had a lot more time to spend together, and we have made it a point to have a date night every night.

To tell you the truth, I was apprehensive when Mr. Jeon requested me to be a doctor just for you since I anticipated that it would be a difficult position to hold given your husband's standing and other factors. On the other hand, I hardly ever hear from you that sometimes I feel like I was paid much too much."

Wow, I was left with a better impression of Jimin each time we conversed. It was commendable that despite his extensive fashion knowledge and excellent taste, he never attempted to be daring or unduly expressive in his demeanor. It was unusual to encounter other individuals with whom I shared similar fashion traits.

"If you believe you are getting paid too much for what you do, you should come to my house more often and spend time with me. Because of his job, my best friend cannot pay me a visit as often as I want him to. Therefore I spend most of my time alone.

Also, what activities do you and your husband like on date nights? Since we've been married, Jungkook and I have only gone on one date, and it resulted in me having to stick to a severe budget plan. It would be helpful if, when you chat to him later about my appointment, you could mention some of the dates that you do with your husband and tell him that my mental well-being is poor since I don't get to go on many dates or get to see him very frequently."

Jimin gave me a nod, "I can do that for you. Also, if I am invited, I would love to come to your house whenever you want me to. I actually thought today you would want to go shopping again."

Oh no, not my weakness!

I felt like crying as he mentioned it, "I would love to, but I can't."

"Oh, you already have plans?"

"I wish! Jungkook has promised to bring me a special gift if I stop shopping until he returns from his trip. But if I do that, I won't be able to get the special present. I really want to go shopping, but more than that, I want him to surprise me with a wonderful gift. Since we got married, he hasn't given me any presents, so I am extremely eager about what he will get me.

It has been so difficult, I almost bought shoes last night, was checking out and everything, but he saved me by calling me, then we talked for a long time, so I forgot about it, but now I remember my shoes. "

I was on the verge of tears; he had better bring me a nice present. I swear that I will appear on true crimes if he does not.

"Aww, that's really sweet. The gift sounds better than the shoes. You can always get the shoes after the gift; it will be a win."

Whoa, this guy is very savvy! The price I pay now will get me two victories in the future. Indeed, he is a real doctor.

*****

Being outside the home was a lot better than being within it. Shopping was the only thing I could think of doing when I was at home. I had a long list of items I wanted to purchase, but the one thing that kept drawing my attention was Jungkook's present to me. It might be diamonds, as I had requested, or it could be a vacation since I would also very much like going on a trip. I haven't traveled anywhere in a very long time, so going on a vacation before I have my peanut butter cups would make me really happy.

I hauled the ladder with me upstairs from the storage area in an effort to divert my attention from the fact that I needed to go shopping. I had just started decorating the nursery, but I could not reach the upper portion of the walls where I planned to begin on the borders.

For the time being, I was experimenting with several themes, and depending on my preferences and color schemes, I would be able to determine what would work best for their space.

After putting the ladder in place, I was able to experiment with the various hues and patterns that I was capable of producing. As I proceeded, I began to feel rather pleased with myself. Although there was no overarching theme, it seemed to be quite endearing. Which is exactly what I wanted for my children. I envisioned a sophisticated but one-of-a-kind atmosphere for them to enjoy in their space.

I believe I died unexpectedly and then came back to life as the brush slid out of my hand simultaneously as I felt arms around my waist.

"Why are you on a ladder?" I attempted to control my breathing as I heard Jungkook's voice question. I was frightened by him.

"You almost gave me a heart attack. Are you crazy?"

"What do you suppose almost happened to me when I returned home to discover you in this situation? Get down!" He held tightly to my waist and lifted me from the ladder.

When he placed me on my feet, he swung me around to face him and said, "Why are you doing such a dangerous task yourself?"

"It's not dangerous."

Having him concerned for me in such a way is very attractive. Perhaps I ought to do that on a more regular basis.

"Seokjin, I do not want you to act this way while I am not at home. This is quite alarming."

"I was feeling bored and didn't know what to do other than this," I said as I nestled my head against his shoulder while attempting to conceal my smile. "I didn't think you would arrive so early, either."

"If you are bored, read a book or watch a movie, but not this! I am serious, Seokjin."

The fact that he was acting so seriously amused me all the more.

"I missed you," I told him to change his mood.

Of course, it worked.

"You did? I have missed you as well." He encircled me with his strong arms and held me closely. "Have you already eaten dinner?"

"I always miss you when you are not around."

I could sense him smiling without looking at him.

"Do you mean it?"

After hearing the tone of his voice, which indicated that he was really interested in finding out whether I was playing a joke on him, I withdrew myself from him. "I'm not going to say anything I don't mean to you. Sincerely, I've been missing you. Do you have any idea how alone it is to be here by oneself? However, I shouldn't miss you because you spend most of your time at home working and not with me."

"I don't do that."

"Yes, you do, and you know it."

"That's not true." He closed the gap between us and brought his lips to mine, "how much did you miss me?"

"Enough to make you something."

He pulled back and raised an eyebrow, "you made me something?"

"I did."

"What did you make me?"

"Where is the gift that you promised me?"

"Did you go shopping?"

I rolled my eyes at his question, "you track all my spending and movements; shouldn't you have the answer to that."

He gave me a grin and said, "You surprised me. I was expecting you to go shopping, but you didn't."

I surprised myself too, so you ain't the only one.

"It really wasn't that big of an issue. In any case, where is my present?"

"You get to decide; whatever you want, I will give it to you."

Is he being serious?

"You are joking, right?"

"No, I am serious; you may have whatever you choose."

"So, you are saying that you are incapable of choosing a present for me, and your surprise is telling me that I'm free to choose whatever I want? Is that the case?"

He seemed perplexed as he glanced at me for a while before saying, "you seem upset."

"More likely disappointed because you claimed you had a surprise gift for me, but how is it a surprise if I choose the gift myself? I was under the impression that you had gone through a lot of trouble to get something special for me. Only for you to come home after leaving me for two days and tell me I get to choose whatever I want. I do that daily; I don't need you to tell me that."

"I thought you would prefer choosing your gift-"

"You had the wrong idea! Why can't you treat me by taking me out on date nights and doing other things along those lines? Do you not enjoy spending time outdoors with someone like me? Jungkook, are you embarrassed by who I am?"

His eyes widened, "Seokjin, what nonsense are you saying. Why would I be embarrassed by who you are? You are my husband! I am sorry, maybe I was wrong about this-"

"Very wrong."

"Okay, I understand it. I am wrong. Give me till tomorrow to resolve this issue."

"What are you going to do to fix it?"

"I am uncertain, but I will. What type of date nights do you like? Are you thinking about dining out?" He eyed me with curiosity.

I shrugged, "that's for you to figure out."

"This is a new experience for me, Seokjin."

I was not going to help him.

"I know you didn't wake up one day and realize that you're the CEO of a company; it took effort, right? So, whatever you did to turn yourself into one, you should utilize it to discover how to give me a memorable romantic experience. Yoongi was quite good at organizing romantic evenings."

As soon as the words left my lips, I quickly exited the room, but I could only go so far before he caught me.

"What did I tell you about comparing me to him?"

"I wasn't making a comparison; I was making a statement. Because I haven't had the chance to go out on a date night with you, it would be unfair for me to make a comparison between the two of you. I can't compare what doesn't exist."

"I prefer not to be compared to him, Seokjin. I don't believe our marriage will be successful if you continue behaving this way. I know he was the most ideal and greatest spouse you could have wished for, but you now have me. Admire me! Find things about me that impress and provoke thought. I don't want you to think about anybody else, regardless of whether he was your spouse before me. I want to be the sole guy that you consider. Similarly to how you are the only guy on my mind."

As I listened to him speak his thoughts, I held his hands in mine and said, "You are right, and I promise not to make any more comparisons between you and him. Please understand that I have only been thinking about you. I already think very highly of you in many ways. I value your openness, sincerity, and truthfulness. You amaze me every day with the things you do. I love how you don't hesitate to show me how much you care and how you feel. You admit it to me without being arrogant when you don't know something. I admire so many things about you, Jungkook."

I was the only focus of his attention, yet I still couldn't decipher what was going through his mind. Because I found the silence between us unsettling, I went in close to give him a kiss, and as I did so, I said against his lips, "Jungkook, I am extremely happy with you."

Because his hands were no longer firmly grasping mine, he was able to encircle me with them and bring our lips back together. Soon after, I felt his hands underneath my shirt, prompting me to move away as swiftly as possible.

"Why did you do that?"

"Remember, I made you something."

"Show me afterward." He said and drew me closer to him.

"No, you should see it now."

"You are attempting to divert my attention."

Fuck, how did he know?

"No. That's not true."

"Then prove to me that is not the case." He smirked and leaned forward, returning his lips to mine. 

He wants me to do what now?
