After taking a day to rest since Taehyung had slept through the entire day after their escapade, they were headed towards the Greater Des Moines Botanical garden. It was something Jungkook had picked since Taehyung had asked what he wanted to do while here. Jungkook held Taehyung's hand tightly as they made their way down the path to the geodesic-domed conservatory. Jungkook had been looking forward to this from the moment he saw the pictures of all the exquisite flowers. They looked magical and luxurious, something Jungkook didn't get to see often. So when he picked that activity for them to do, Taehyung didn't argue. Especially since Jungkook had kept his word, even if it had been a while since the original promise.

Taehyung's eyes lit up the moment they stepped into the conservatory. Beautiful flowers of varying colors and species grew within the observatory. Jungkook immediately dragged Taehyung over toward the growing masses of tulips of various colors. The colorful sea of tulips mesmerized Jungkook as he smiled at Taehyung. "Did you know that tulips represent a perfect or deep love?" Jungkook asked softly, staring at the various colors as Taehyung turned his attention more toward Jungkook. There was a deep blush that had crept across Jungkook's cheeks as he crouched down to admire the flowers more. Taehyung couldn't help but be mesmerized by Jungkook and his thought process more than the flowers. Even if they were lovely, they still couldn't compare to the way Taehyung saw Jungkook. "A perfect or deep love, huh? Well, that's surely befitting," Taehyung noted softly, still admiring Jungkook more than the flowers now.

Taehyung's eyes outlined Jungkook's features as he touched one of the tulips tenderly, an expression of care on his beautiful features. Taehyung then glanced at Jungkook's hair which was rapidly growing back but smiled all the more. He had been willing to cut it for him and Taehyung couldn't have been more grateful to the man he both loved and married. "However, it could also mean both rebirth and charity as well, but I like to associate them with love more than anything since they're so popular and widely loved across the globe," Jungkook explained softly, glancing up to see Taehyung staring at him in admiration. Although, Taehyung realized he wasn't the only one admiring Jungkook when he overheard the young girls on the other side of Jungkook giggling. Taehyung chuckled softly at their innocence as Jungkook pointed out the colors of each tulip to Taehyung. Taehyung watched as Jungkook became engrossed in the beauty of the flowers, his expression serene while Taehyung admired him.

Taehyung glanced around at all the beautiful flowers and pulled Jungkook up from his crouched position. "There are far more flowers than the tulips, my love. Don't you want to see them too?" Taehyung asked softly as Jungkook chuckled in response. "Of course, I want to see them all! I just want to spend time admiring the beauty of them before moving on to the next bunch," Jungkook explained softly, kissing Taehyung's cheek tenderly as he grabbed his hand. Taehyung could feel eyes on them as he glanced over his shoulder to see the two young girls flushed before hastily looking away from them. Taehyung had to laugh to himself before tugging Jungkook along to the pristine group of roses. Once again, Jungkook crouched down to admire these flowers personally as well. Taehyung didn't mind one bit as he crouched down beside Jungkook, still admiring the serene expression on Jungkook's face. "I've always loved flowers," Jungkook noted softly, tenderly touching one of the blue rose petals. "They can say so many things with a simple gesture," Jungkook added softly as he grazed his fingertips over the velvety petals of a white rose now.

Taehyung continued to admire Jungkook as he hummed softly in response to Jungkook's sudden explanation. "You've always loved flowers, huh? Has anyone ever gotten you a bouquet before?" Taehyung asked curiously as Jungkook shook his head softly, a sad smile gracing his features now. "Unfortunately, no. No one has ever shown an interest in me until you came along," Jungkook explained quietly, earning a soft scoff from Taehyung. "There's no way that no one has ever shown you any interest. If that's the case, anyone you ever came into contact with must have been blind because baby, you're a real catch and if they couldn't see that, then it's their loss," Taehyung retorted in annoyance, pouting at Jungkook's words that insinuated that he was undesirable. Jungkook giggled at Taehyung's words before a tender kiss was placed on his lips. "I'll buy you as many bouquets as you want," Taehyung murmured softly in Jungkook's ear, earning a surprised look from the younger. "You don't have to do that, love. I know how you feel about me," Jungkook proclaimed hastily, standing to his feet just as quickly.

Taehyung stood to his feet as well, shaking his head at Jungkook's words. "I know that you know I love you but I want to keep that memory fresh in your mind every day," Taehyung added sweetly, closing his eyes as he smiled innocently at Jungkook. Jungkook merely smiled back at Taehyung, giggling as he grabbed the elder's hand once more and navigated them over toward the Hydrangeas. The blue ones with multiple shades of blue and light purple caught Jungkook's eye, simply because of its melancholic beauty. Jungkook crouched in front of this particular flower, smelling it as Taehyung followed close behind him in sniffing it. The fragrance was slightly sweet with earthy undertones yet not overbearing in scent. "You love all sorts of flowers, don't you?" Taehyung asked incredulously as Jungkook named every flower they'd visited so far, his mind losing track of the names easily. Jungkook smiled softly at Taehyung's question and hummed pleasantly in response. "They were the only things that kept me company at my apartment when Jimin, Hobi, or Yoongi wasn't available to hang out," Jungkook explained softly, caressing the petals of the Hydrangeas now. "So I learned all I could about them to care for them properly," Jungkook added tenderly, reminiscing about his lonely life back at his apartment. "While I miss having my own place and taking care of my flower friends, I'm even happier traveling with you, Tae. I wouldn't want it any other way, honestly," Jungkook added to his explanation before Taehyung got the wrong idea. Taehyung nodded softly at Jungkook's words as they admired flowers well into the night.

When they got back to their hotel, Taehyung flopped onto the bed in exhaustion. "You know, you had two school girls admiring you as you focused on the flowers," Taehyung noted with a loving smile as Jungkook turned toward Taehyung with a surprised expression. "S- Someone was admiring me?" Jungkook asked incredulously as Taehyung laughed in response and nodded. "I told you there was no way no individual hadn't shown interest in you," Taehyung reiterated simply, glancing over his shoulder at Jungkook. "You're a very desirable man. Those girls haven't been the only ones to admire you either," Taehyung continued to explain, turning back toward Jungkook with determination in his eyes. "You just haven't realized they're admiring you," Taehyung added with no room for argument as Jungkook stared into Taehyung's eyes, searching for any hint that he was teasing him. "I always thought they were admiring you though," Jungkook noted his logic as Taehyung shook his head softly with a smile, kissing Jungkook's forehead. "No, love, I know when I'm being stared at and a lot of them have been towards you," Taehyung whispered sweetly against Jungkook's skin, smiling as Jungkook remained silent out of shock. "Then why has nobody tried anything toward me at all as they do you?" Jungkook asked curiously, wondering why women always acted on their crush toward Taehyung.

Taehyung simply chuckled as he pulled away from Jungkook's forehead, a loving smile on his face. "That's because we exude two different types of sex appeal, love. You're desirable but definitely more innocent when it comes to being coy. My appeal is definitely more forthwith which is probably why people act upon their affection toward me more," Taehyung clarified in annoyance at himself. He honestly didn't understand why people acted the way they did toward him but he hoped it was at least useful to Jungkook. "Besides, I'd rather have that innocent sex appeal. You could be the world's kinkiest person and they wouldn't know until they got behind closed doors with you," Taehyung explained teasingly, nudging Jungkook with his elbow. Jungkook flushed at the insinuation behind Taehyung's words before placing his hands on his hips. "What's that supposed to mean?!" Jungkook inquired out of embarrassment, his face still bright red.

Taehyung laughed loudly and pulled Jungkook onto the bed with him, holding him tight. "It's not a bad thing, love. I enjoy exploring any of your kinks. At least things in the bedroom will never be boring with you," Taehyung whispered tenderly into Jungkook's growing fuzzy hair, kissing the side of his temple now. Jungkook smiled and wrapped his arms around Taehyung's back as they remained in each other's tight embrace. "I actually have a surprise for you," Taehyung whispered into Jungkook's hair once more, his hands resting on the small of Jungkook's back as he looked up at Taehyung. "You have a surprise for me?" Jungkook asked in disbelief, watching as Taehyung got up from the bed to retrieve his backpack. Jungkook watched with curious eyes as Taehyung kept his back to him, rummaging through his backpack.

"Yeah, I got you this while you were preoccupied with talking to each group of flowers. I hope that you'll like it," Taehyung announced softly, offering up a large bouquet of an assortment of flowers to Jungkook. Within the bouquet were pink, purple, white, and red tulips along with a splash of red and blue roses. Jungkook gasped when he saw the bouquet, his eyes misting over as he tenderly grasped the bouquet in Taehyung's hands. "Y- You were paying attention to my nonsensical facts about the meanings of the flowers and their colors?" Jungkook asked in disbelief, holding the bouquet tenderly as if it were so fragile the flowers would die if he squeezed too hard. Taehyung scratched the back of his head out of embarrassment, an embarrassed smile spreading across his face. "Your words have a way of making themselves ever present in my memory," Taehyung explained softly as Jungkook placed the bouquet down gently on the nightstand. He crawled toward the edge of the bed on his knees to make himself around the same height as Taehyung from the bed. Jungkook pulled Taehyung closer by the collar of his shirt, planting a passionate kiss on his lips. Before Taehyung could pull away to breathe, Jungkook pulled Taehyung onto the bed with him and peppered him with kisses. Mostly innocent and loving before finding his lips once again. While Taehyung was enjoying Jungkook's kisses, he knew that if this evolved into a full-blown make-out session that it'd be a lot harder to walk away from Jungkook for the night. He had to make sure he was well rested because within the week he'd be attending another chemo session.

Taehyung gently pushed against Jungkook's shoulders as the younger trailed his kisses further down. "Jungkook. I- I can't right now," Taehyung gasped out, trying to catch his breath from Jungkook's intense kiss. Jungkook pulled away to glance down at Taehyung, trying to catch his breath himself. "Nobody has ever given me something this sweet and you want me to stop? I can be quick, love. We won't even have to take off our clothes if you're in that much of a hurry to get to bed," Jungkook pleaded softly, earning a surprised look from Taehyung. While Jungkook had always been eager to please, he'd never been this eager and that surprised Taehyung. "Can't I just get you a gift without expecting anything in return?" Taehyung inquired softly as Jungkook gasped in surprise, his expression giving him away. "I- I always thought you reciprocated gifts with other gifts and I don't have anything else to give you," Jungkook explained softly as Taehyung chuckled, tenderly caressing Jungkook's face. "There's that innocence, Kookie. Whether you think so or not, you're still innocent," Taehyung teased softly, earning a soft yet sensual kiss. Jungkook still hovered over him, his back arched so that he was pressed tight against Taehyung's chest but he could also press his groin against Taehyung's thigh. Jungkook's thigh was pressed tight against Taehyung's groin but he couldn't tell if Taehyung was hard or not as he remained hovering above the elder. Their sensual kisses continued before Jungkook ground against Taehyung's thigh, eliciting a soft moan from the elder. Taehyung's hands grasped Jungkook's perky globes in his tight jeans as the younger moved against Taehyung's thigh once again. "We can just rub ourselves up against each other until you finish," Jungkook whispered in a breathy moan, burying his face in Taehyung's neck out of humiliation while he continued to grind against his thigh. "It actually doesn't feel all that bad," Jungkook added breathily, shoving his hands under Taehyung's head. He grasped at the elder's prickly crown, grinding hard against Taehyung's thigh with low moans and breathy sighs. The more he ground his hips against Taehyung's thigh, the more Jungkook's thigh rubbed Taehyung the right way. The elder panted softly as Jungkook's hot breath fanned out across his neck with every exhale through his mouth. Both were feeling heated as Jungkook continued his grinding, finding it hard to stop the moment he received that bouquet. Taehyung gasped softly, his back arching slightly as Jungkook continued to grind against Taehyung's thigh, creating that needed friction for the both of them. "Y- You're so sly, K- Kookie," Taehyung panted out between breaths, breathing through his mouth now as his breathing gradually became more labored. "K- keep doing th- that though. I- It feels so good," Taehyung moaned out softly, his grip on Jungkook's ass tightening as he provided leverage for the younger male's grinding thrusts. Taehyung felt every muscle tighten as Jungkook continued to grind against him hard, his thigh pressing against him right. Taehyung jolted slightly, his body lurching forward against Jungkook hard as he moaned loudly. It didn't feel pleasant coming in his jeans but Jungkook was going to do the same soon, he could tell by the younger's labored breathing. Without warning, Jungkook jolted against Taehyung's thigh, a quiet yet erotic moan slipping past his lips as he continued to grind out his high. Before Taehyung could say anything, Jungkook groaned before pulling away from Taehyung's neck. "That was both satisfying and disgusting at the same time," Jungkook grumbled before hastily moving to peel off his pants. Taehyung moved to peel his pants off too before they both glanced at each other and laughed. "I can't believe I just dry-humped you like a boy in middle school or something," Jungkook joked playfully, changing his boxers and into some shorts for bed. Taehyung hastily changed his clothes as well so that he could sleep comfortably before wrapping his arms firmly around Jungkook's waist. He kissed the back of Jungkook's ear and closed his eyes for bed. "Good night, love," Taehyung whispered tenderly before snuggling into Jungkook's back. "Good night, baby," Jungkook whispered back, placing his hands over the hands that held him tight.
