chapter 5

The next morning, as Jungkook had instructed, Y/N woke him up early. The morning air carried a slight chill, and the golden hues of sunlight peeked through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the bedroom. She handed him his neatly ironed suit and stood before him, her fingers carefully working on his tie.Clearing her throat, she finally spoke, breaking the comfortable silence."Uh... J-Jungkook, when will your cousins arrive?"Jungkook, who had been watching her fingers move with delicate precision, blinked and focused on her question."Their flight lands at 4:30 p.m., so they should be here by 6:00 p.m."Y/N nodded, a small nervous smile forming on her lips."Oh... that's great."Jungkook frowned slightly. He knew her well enough to sense when she had something else on her mind."Do you want to say something else?" he asked, his voice calm yet observant.She always found it fascinating how he could read her so easily. Taking a deep breath, she hesitated before finally voicing her thoughts."Actually, since your cousins are coming, I was thinking of cooking something special for them. So, I need to go shopping for groceries and a few other things..."Before she could finish, Jungkook pulled out his wallet and handed her his sleek black card."Here. Buy whatever you need. Just make sure everything is perfect."She looked at the card in his hand before meeting his gaze, surprised by how easily he trusted her with it."Don't worry, I won't let you down," she said with a bright smile.Jungkook stared at her, his fingers still holding the card, hesitant to let go-not because he didn't trust her, but because, for a brief moment, he was lost in her smile. It was rare to see her like this, and for some reason, he couldn't look away.Realizing he was staring, he quickly shook off the thought and cleared his throat."Are you done? I'm getting late.""Oh! Yeah... umm... done."She was about to step back when she noticed something in his hair. Without thinking, she lifted her hand to remove it, but Jungkook instinctively pulled away."W-What are you doing?" he asked, slightly startled.Y/N chuckled softly. "Relax. You had something in your hair." She removed the small piece of paper and showed it to him. "See?"Jungkook glanced at the paper and then at her, feeling oddly flustered."Hmmm. I'm leaving now. If you need to go somewhere, tell the driver to take you." He grabbed his suitcase and turned toward the door."Okay. Bye... take care."Jungkook didn't respond as he walked out, but as he reached the car, he let out a deep sigh. His hand subconsciously brushed over his tie, the one she had fixed for him."Why does my heart have to beat like this whenever she comes closer?" he muttered under his breath before getting into the car.---Evening - 3:30 P.M.After spending hours shopping for ingredients and decorations, Y/N finally arrived home, her arms filled with bags. She wasted no time, quickly freshening up and heading to the kitchen. She had already planned the menu and asked Mrs. Kim about Jungkook's cousins' favorite dishes.Leena loved spicy food.Bora had a soft spot for anything sweet.Zaid preferred something light and healthy.With everything set, she rolled up her sleeves and got to work.Meanwhile, at the office...Jungkook's meeting had ended at 2:30 p.m. It had been a success-he had secured yet another major deal. But as he sat in his office, reviewing documents, his stomach growled loudly.Frowning, he looked around his desk for the familiar lunch box Y/N always sent him. But to his surprise, there was nothing.His brows furrowed."Did she forget?"Jungkook picked up the phone and dialed his secretary."Tony, come to my office. Now."Within moments, Tony entered, standing upright in front of his boss."Sir, you called?"Jungkook leaned back in his chair, his gaze sharp."Where's the lunch box?"Tony blinked in confusion. "Lunch box?""Yes. The one my wife always sends. Did you forget to place it in my office?"Tony's eyes widened slightly. Jungkook had just referred to Y/N as his wife. That was new."Uh, Sir... Miss Y/N didn't send any lunch today. Your driver didn't bring anything either."Jungkook stiffened. Y/N never forgot. Even on days when he didn't eat, she still sent it."Oh. Okay. You can go now."Tony bowed before turning to leave. But as he walked out, he couldn't help but mumble under his breath."So today, Sir was actually waiting for the lunch. Then why doesn't he appreciate his wife's efforts? Hmph. Rude and ungrateful human. I don't know how Miss Y/N lives with him."Jungkook sat still, his mind replaying the morning interaction with Y/N. Was she too busy preparing for his cousins that she forgot? He tried to brush off the thought, but an unfamiliar feeling tugged at his chest.---Evening - 5:30 P.M.When Jungkook returned home, he was slightly surprised to see that Y/N wasn't at the door to greet him like she usually did. Instead, the warm, inviting aroma of food filled the air, leading him straight to the kitchen.He unconsciously followed the scent and found Y/N moving swiftly, preparing the final touches on the dishes.Clearing his throat, he spoke. "Everything ready?"Y/N turned around, flashing him a gentle smile."Welcome home."Jungkook nodded. "When did you get back?""Around 3:30. How was your meeting?""It was good. We got the deal."He paused, slightly confused. He never shared these things with anyone. Yet, with her, it came so naturally."Wow, congratulations! How was the lunch?" she asked, excitement in her voice.Jungkook raised an eyebrow, his arms crossing. "Like you sent one."Her eyes widened. "Oh my God... I completely forgot!" She was about to apologize when the doorbell rang."I think they're here," she said quickly.Jungkook went to open the door while Y/N smacked her forehead."Ah, you stupid girl. How could you forget? I'll ask him to forgive me later. First, let's welcome the guests."She untied her apron and rushed to the living room. Jungkook was already greeting his cousins."Jungkook!"One by one, they hugged him tightly, laughter filling the space.Y/N froze. She had never seen Jungkook smile so widely before. It was warm, genuine, and full of affection."I missed you guys.""We missed you too! And man, you've become even more handsome!" Zaid teased."And hot," Bora added, making them all burst into laughter.Y/N smiled, watching their bond.But then-"Where's our sister-in-law?" Zaid asked eagerly.Y/N was about to step forward when Leena's voice cut through the laughter."Wait. Jungkook... you married her?"Jungkook's smile disappeared."I thought you were going to marry Mia. She was your love, right?"The room fell silent."Then why did you marry her?""Who is she?"Now what will happen?Will y/n get to know about Jungkook's love?🧐Are you all excited?🤩Stay tuned to know more. ❤️Don't forget to tell me 🥺Your Coconut 🥥
