40- The Closest Weve Ever Been #2
"Does it look good on me? When did you buy it?" she asked softly, looking down to admire how the metal caught the dim light.
"Long ago," Taehyung whispered, his voice thick with restraint. "I wanted to give it to you then, but it wasn't the right time. Now it is. And you look breathtaking in it. Your waist is doing things to my self-control, babycake... how am I supposed to hold back now?"
Jungkook's cheeks burned scarlet at the new, tender nickname."Thank you, hubby. It looks so good on me."
Smiling softly, Taehyung leaned forward and rested his forehead directly against her bare stomach, closing his eyes as he wrapped his arms securely around her hips, breathing in the sweet, familiar scent of her.
Jungkook looks at him with loving eyes and gently strokes his hair. "You must be so tired from working hard all day. Come on, let's go to sleep," she says tenderly.
Taehyung rests his head against her stomach and replies like a child, "I am tired, but not yet. Right now, I just want to stay close to you."
"You can stay close, but on the bed. Let's go, we have a lot of work tomorrow with two weddings lined up, and you'll get exhausted too," Jungkook explains softly with care.
"Hmm, just a little while longer," Taehyung whines playfully like a kid, and playfully bites her waist, making Jungkook gasp in surprise and let out a small yelp.
"Why did you bite me?" she asks, pouting with puffed-up cheeks.
"I felt like it, so I bit you. My wife, my rules," he replies with a cheeky smile.
After a while both laid down on the bed, taehyung immediately pulled Jungkook in his arms tightly embracing her from behind.
He slid his hands on her waist and caressed it gently cupping her b*east, he whispered in her ear.
"Your b*east is so soft!, gonna suck it one day if you allow me" he said s*cking her earlobe
Jungkook felt her panty getting soaked, she's dead sure she's flowing river down there. A sudden, hot wave rushed low in her stomach at his bold words. Her breath caught in her throat.

The Next Day
Taehyung arrived at his office and immediately noticed Minho. The corner of Minho's lip was bruised, the mark Taehyung himself had left after punching him the previous day.A faint pang of guilt settled in his chest.
Without saying anything, he walked into his cabin. A few minutes later, Minho entered carrying Taehyung's usual morning coffee.
"Good morning, sir. Here's your coffee."
He placed the cup on the table and bowed politely before turning to leave.
"Mr. Jeon."
Hearing Taehyung's cold voice, Minho immediately turned around.
"Yes, sir? Do you need something?"
"Come here. Sit down."
Without wasting a second, Minho quickly took the chair opposite Taehyung. Taehyung looked at him for a moment before speaking.
"I want to apologize for yesterday. I shouldn't have raised my hand against you. What I did was wrong."
Minho hurriedly waved his hands.
"No, no, sir! Why are you apologizing? It was my fault. You don't have to say sorry. It doesn't suit someone like you."
A small smile appeared on Minho's face.
"Like sister, like brother", Taehyung thought to himself.
"No," Taehyung replied firmly. "An apology is necessary. What I did yesterday upset my wife, and I never intentionally do something she dislikes. On top of that, I ended up disrespecting Mom and Dad as well. I'll apologize to them too."
He paused before continuing.
"But... that was the only way to make your marriage with Tzuyu happen."
Minho frowned in confusion.
"The only way? What do you mean?"
"What happened a few months ago affected our entire family, especially Uncle Minjun and Mom Sana. After everything that happened, they weren't willing to listen to a single word I said."
"So...I had to put on an act."
"An act?"
Taehyung nodded. "Yes. Everything that happened yesterday was part of my plan. Hitting you, gathering everyone there, and creating a situation where your marriage with Tzuyu would be finalized."
A faint smirk appeared on his lips. "I figured you could survive a few punches for the sake of your love."
Minho's eyes instantly became watery. "S-So... Sir... you're not angry with me?" His voice trembled. "I thought... I thought you hated me. You really scared me."
A small smile appeared on Taehyung's face. "If I had simply brought up your relationship with Tzuyu, neither she nor the family would've agreed. This was the only way."
His smirk widened. "As for your sister... I've already convinced her."
Minho let out a relieved breath.
"Now I just have to apologize to Mom and Dad." Taehyung sighed dramatically.
"Look at what I sacrificed for you. I've ruined my reputation in the market. Now everyone thinks I'm an old-fashioned, narrow-minded man." He shot an imaginary glare toward the readers.
Minho burst into his bunny smile.
"Sir... I misunderstood you so badly. I'm really sorry." He lowered his head before looking back up.
"And honestly... I don't even mind that you hit me. I accepted those punches like a younger brother would."
Taehyung smiled softly. "Enough with the emotions. Focus on your work." His expression instantly turned serious. "Your wedding is only a few days away. If you don't finish your work on time, I won't give you leave."
A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes. "And if you don't get leave..."
He leaned back in his chair. "You won't be getting married."
Minho shot up from his seat in panic. "No, no, sir!! I'll work! I'll make the entire department work! We'll finish one month's worth of work in just two weeks!"
He clasped his hands together dramatically. "Please... also give me leave for my honeymoon, jiju."
Taehyung rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "If you don't leave this cabin right now..."
He looked at him with a straight face.
"forget the honeymoon, you won't even survive your wedding night."
The moment those words left Taehyung's mouth, Minho bolted out of the cabin as if his life depended on it.
Taehyung chuckled, shaking his head. "What a crazy man."
He leaned back in his chair, resting his chin on his palm. "Good thing my wife isn't like him" A soft smile unknowingly spread across his face.
"Though, even if she were" His eyes filled with warmth as he thought of Jungkook. "she'd still look adorable while throwing a tantrum."
Lost in thoughts of his wife, Taehyung sat there with the gentlest smile on his lips.

Meanwhile, at the Sarpanch's Mansion...
The entire mansion echoed with the furious roars of Mr. Lee Juseok, the village sarpanch.
He stood in the middle of the living room, his face burning with rage. News had just reached him that not one, but two weddings were being prepared in the Kim family.
"Two weddings?" he bellowed. "After sending my son to the gallows, they're celebrating? How dare they find happiness after destroying my family!"
His breathing grew heavier with every word. "My son... Jinho..." His voice trembled with grief.
"I raised him with all the love and care a father could give. I fulfilled every wish he ever had... and those people snatched him away from me. They sent him to his death..." His eyes turned blood-red with hatred.
"And now they're celebrating?" He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. "No... I won't let that happen."
His voice dropped into a dangerous whisper. "Kim Taehyung... you started all of this." A cruel smile spread across his face.
"But I'll be the one to finish it. I swear... I'll avenge my son's death."
Consumed by rage, Juseok raised his pistol and fired three shots into the air.
The sound echoed throughout the mansion.
Just then, footsteps echoed from the staircase.
Descending with calm, composed steps was Lee Yeonho or rather, Dr. Lee Yeonho.
(What? Did you really think I forgot about him? ??)
A senior doctor at Hope Hospital, Yeonho walked straight toward his father, effortlessly took the gun from his trembling hands, and handed it to one of the servants.
"Baba... what are you doing?" His voice was calm, yet dangerously cold.
"Revenge isn't taken by shouting or firing bullets into the air." He looked directly into his father's eyes.
"Yelling and cursing won't achieve anything." A sinister smirk slowly appeared on his lips. "We need to think bigger."
"This time..." His eyes darkened with murderous intent. "we'll make a plan so perfect that not a single member of the Kim family survives."
He paused before speaking again.
"I loved Jinho too,he wasn't just my younger brother.... he was a piece of my heart. And I will avenge his death..." His smile widened. "no matter what path I have to walk."
Juseok silently looked at his son before slowly leaving the room, trusting him to handle everything.
The moment they were alone, Yeonho's expression turned darker.
"Jungkook" A dangerous chuckle escaped his lips. "Dr. Jungkook..."
"So, you're happy after marrying my enemy?" He tilted his head with a wicked smile.
"Enjoy it while you can, because I'll turn you into a widow" His eyes filled with obsession. "and then I'll make you mine." His smile became terrifying.
"As for Kim Taehyung" He slowly clenched his fist. "his death will come at my hands."
