Nine Months

Chapter 35

His eyes opened as he was sleeping on the couch. His vision laid upon Haru who was on the bed in front of him, his lips bore the semblance of a smile.

He could feel the warmth that woke up his soul. Like he was hanging on the threads of positivity. He quickly got up to get himself ready for the day, thinking that it would be the best day he would ever have.

He decided to use the bathroom first so that it would be available for her later when she wakes up. She woke up, her lips mumbling something. As her eyes settled on the unfamiliar room, she wanted to see Jungkook. No reason, she just wanted to.

As she looked around and couldn't find him, she could hear the long dragging beats of her heart. A faint note of hysteria overpowered her eyes.

She sat up, searching for her frantically. The bathroom door opened revealing him, his dampened locks slightly drenching his grey shirt and a towel around his neck which he was using to dry his hair.

A wave of pacification rode over her as if she found everything she had been looking for. As if she was watching the moon that was hidden by the clouds. She got up in a hurry and instantly hugged him, she didn't know what was happening to her, what was making her so clingy to him but she just wanted him by her side.

He, on the other hand, couldn't be happier. A fine morning initiating with his wife's beautiful face and then getting a hug as soon as he freshens up himself, her ambrosial scent clearing his senses. How very euphoric.

This time he had no doubts about hugging her back, "Goodmorning," he greeted.

"Goodmorning," she responded parting from the hug. He smiled, he felt like a song, all the emotions that he meant to write, all the lyrics he had been trying to find. It was all in her and he could see it.

They sat at the dining table, eating their breakfast. Jungkook was all set to leave after that and it was bothering her.

"Jungkook," she mumbled.

"Hm?" He looked up from the plate to meet her eyes, but hers were down, her face contorting a ruminative gaze.

"Are you going?" She asked.

"Where? I am here. We don't have tours-"

"Are you leaving for work?" She interrupted and that confounded him a bit. He nodded.

She pouted, playing with the food with the spoon.

"Any problem? You wanted anything?"

She wanted it. She wanted his presence, but she couldn't verbalise it. Jungkook was confused but understood that something was off.

"Do you wanna accompany me? Everyone would be happy seeing you," he offered and he could watch how her face sparkled like fairy dust as she nodded jubilantly. He couldn't hold back his smile, not that he ever wanted to stop it.

"Oh, Haru?" Suga noticed as a first when she entered the studio behind Jungkook. She smiled at him.

"Dude, I missed you, and the baby," Taehyung chimed, instantly getting on his knees to reach the level of her baby bump. He placed an ear on her tummy wishing to hear from the baby.

"How're you doing?" Jin asked and she smiled and nodded simply. Her aura felt different, different to what she had been for the past few months.

"I just asked who is the best uncle and it just said TaeTae," Taehyung responded with wide eyes.
