As Yoongi's eyes fluttered open in the soft morning light, his gaze immediately fell upon the peacefully sleeping figure next to him. Jimin, his husband, lay there with a serene expression, his delicate features bathed in the gentle glow.

Yoongi couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth as he watched Jimin sleep, marvelling at the beauty that he was lucky enough to wake up to every day.

Quietly, Yoongi leaned in closer, studying Jimin's features as if committing every detail to memory. He traced the curve of Jimin's eyelashes, the graceful arch of his brows, and the way his lips formed a subtle, contented smile even in slumber. His heart swelled with a deep affection that never seemed to fade.

With a soft sigh, Yoongi reluctantly pulled himself away from the sight, knowing that he had to get his day started. He gently planted a tender kiss on Jimin's forehead before slipping out of bed. Padding quietly to the bathroom, he began his usual morning routine, the sound of running water and gentle hums filling the space.

After his shower, Yoongi stood in front of the mirror, clad in his crisp formal attire. He carefully combed his dark hair, watching as it fell into place. Lost in thought, he almost missed the faint movement on the bed behind him. Turning, he saw Jimin stirring, his eyelids fluttering open slowly.

Jimin's gaze met Yoongi's, and he offered a soft, sleepy smile. "Morning," he murmured, his voice husky with sleep. He shifted slightly, wincing as a soreness radiated through his body, a reminder of their passionate night together.

Yoongi's heart ached at the sight of Jimin's discomfort. He hurried back to the bed, concern etching his features.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked gently, brushing a strand of hair away from Jimin's face.

Jimin nodded, his smile never fading. "Yeah, just a little sore." His eyes sparkled with affection as he reached out to touch Yoongi's hand. "But it's a good kind of sore, you know?"

Yoongi chuckled softly, relief washing over him. "I'm glad you think so." He leaned down to press a soft kiss against Jimin's lips, his touch gentle yet filled with love. "I'm sorry if I got carried away."

Jimin's fingers found their way to Yoongi's cheek, his touch warm and reassuring. "Don't apologize. I love it when you get carried away."

They shared a tender moment, their eyes locked in an unspoken exchange of emotions. The depth of their connection was palpable, a silent understanding of each other's feelings and desires.

As Jimin slowly sat up, Yoongi offered a helping hand, his concern never wavering.

"Let me get you something for the soreness," he said softly, a mix of protectiveness and adoration in his voice.

"You're too good to me, Yoongi." Jimin's gaze held a mixture of gratitude and affection.

"And you mean the world to me, Jimin." Yoongi brushed a thumb over Jimin's knuckles, his heart swelling with affection.

Jimin slowly eased himself into a sitting position, the soreness in his muscles reminding him of the intensity of their shared moments the night before. He winced slightly but kept a soft smile on his face, appreciating the warmth that emanated from Yoongi's presence.

Yoongi disappeared briefly into the bathroom, returning with a small container of soothing lotion. He settled on the edge of the bed next to Jimin, his touch gentle as he began to massage the lotion into Jimin's shoulders and back. Jimin sighed contentedly, leaning into the touch.

"Better?" Yoongi asked softly, his fingers working the tension out of Jimin's muscles.

"Mmm, much better," Jimin replied, his eyes closing momentarily in sheer bliss.

"You have magic hands."Yoongi chuckled, his touch tender as he continued his ministrations.

"Just doing my part as a loving husband."Jimin's heart swelled at the endearing words.

"You're always so attentive, Yoongi."A hint of a blush tinted Yoongi's cheeks, but he didn't break his rhythm.

"Well, you deserve all the attention and care in the world." As Yoongi's hands worked their magic. Jimin's mind drifted to how lucky he was to get such a husband. Jimin turned to look at Yoongi, his eyes holding a mixture of playfulness and affection.

Their eyes held each other's gaze, a silent exchange of sentiments passing between them. Yoongi leaned in, his lips brushing against Jimin's temple in a tender kiss.

"I love you more than words can express," he whispered. Jimin's heart fluttered at the words, his smile radiant.

"I love you too, Hubby. More than you'll ever know." They stayed like that for a while longer, the world outside their cocoon of affection fading away.

It was in these quiet moments that they truly felt the depth of their bond, a connection that had weathered storms and blossomed into something beautiful and enduring.

With a final, loving squeeze, Yoongi's hands left Jimin's shoulders.

"Feeling better now?" Jimin nodded, his expression one of pure contentment.

"Much better. Thank you." As they sat side by side, their fingers entwined, they knew that their love was a treasure to be cherished, a source of strength that would carry them through any challenges that life might bring their way.

Yoongi stood by the bedroom door, dressed impeccably in his office attire. His briefcase was in one hand, and he looked every bit the part of a professional ready to take on the day. However, a layer of concern clouded his eyes as he gazed back at Jimin, who was still nestled in bed.

Jimin had propped himself up on the pillows, his gaze soft and understanding. He knew Yoongi had to leave for an important meeting, but the lingering soreness in his body was a reminder of their passionate night together. He managed a small smile, trying to ease Yoongi's worry.

"I'll be okay, Yoon baby," Jimin said, his voice gentle. "You don't have to look so concerned."

Yoongi's lips curled into a small smile, but his eyes remained filled with a mixture of affection and reluctance.

"I know, but I can't help it. I feel bad leaving you like this."

Jimin's smile widened, and he patted the space beside him on the bed.

"Come here."

Yoongi stepped closer, setting his briefcase down before joining Jimin on the bed. He sat down beside him, their shoulders touching.

"What is it?"

Jimin reached out to take Yoongi's hand, lacing their fingers together.

"I just want you to go to your meeting without worrying about me, okay? I'll be fine. I'll rest up and take care of myself."

Yoongi's thumb caressed the back of Jimin's hand, his concern still evident in his eyes.

"I know you'll take care of yourself, but I can't help worrying. You're important to me, baby."

Jimin's gaze held a warmth that matched Yoongi's affection.

"And you're important to me too. This meeting is important, and I don't want you to be distracted."

Yoongi's shoulders relaxed slightly, his fingers tightening around Jimin's hand.

"You always know how to put my mind at ease."

Jimin leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Yoongi's cheek. "I've had plenty of practice," he teased gently.

A genuine chuckle escaped Yoongi's lips, his mood lifting. "You're right. You're the expert at making me feel better."

They shared a moment of quiet intimacy, their foreheads resting against each other as they held onto each other's hands. The unspoken love and understanding between them was palpable.

"I'll text you when the meeting is over," Yoongi said, his voice soft.

Jimin nodded, his fingers tracing patterns on Yoongi's palm.

"I'll be waiting to hear from you."

With a final lingering kiss on Jimin's forehead, Yoongi reluctantly stood up from the bed. He picked up his briefcase, his eyes locked on Jimin's.

"Take care of yourself, okay?"

"I will," Jimin promised, his smile reassuring.

As Yoongi left the room, his heart felt lighter, knowing that Jimin was strong and capable. As he made his way to the meeting, his thoughts were never far from the one he loved, wishing for his swift return to the warmth of their shared space.

♧♡♧

The door swung open, and Jimin was immediately enveloped in a bone-crushing hug as soon as he stepped inside. He could feel Yoongi's arms around him, holding him tightly, almost as if he never wanted to let go.

It was a silent expression of how much Yoongi had missed him and how much he had worried during the time they were apart.

Jimin held onto Yoongi just as tightly, burying his face in Yoongi's shoulder. He could feel the steady beat of Yoongi's heart against his own chest, and it was a comfort beyond words.

"I missed you too," Jimin whispered, his voice muffled against Yoongi's shirt.

Yoongi pulled back slightly, his hands cupping Jimin's face as he gazed into his eyes.

"Are you okay? How was your day?"

Jimin nodded, a soft smile curving his lips. "I'm fine. Just rested and took care of myself like you told me to." He brushed his thumb over Yoongi's cheek, feeling the familiar warmth beneath his touch.

Satisfaction and relief washed over Yoongi's features, his fingers interlocking with Jimin's.

"Good, I was worried."

Jimin's smile widened, his heart swelling with affection.

"I could tell by the hug when you came in."

Yoongi's cheeks tinged with a hint of embarrassment, but he didn't let go of Jimin's hand.

"Yeah, well, I missed you a lot."

Jimin leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to Yoongi's lips.

"I missed you too, Hubby."

As they shared a lingering kiss, Yoongi's arms slipped around Jimin's waist, and before he knew it, he was being swept off his feet. Yoongi carried him bridal style, their eyes locked in an unspoken understanding.

Jimin wrapped his arms around Yoongi's neck, his heart fluttering as he was carried to their room. Once there, Yoongi gently laid him down on the bed, never breaking their embrace.

Jimin felt Yoongi's warmth and the steady rhythm of his breath against his neck, and it was a sensation that grounded him.

"I've missed this," Yoongi murmured, his lips brushing against Jimin's skin.

Jimin's fingers threaded through Yoongi's hair, his touch soothing.

"Me too. It feels like home."

They stayed like that for a while, wrapped up in each other's arms, the world outside fading away. It was in these quiet moments that they found solace, a refuge in each other's love and presence.

Yoongi lifted his head, his eyes meeting Jimin's with a soft intensity. "I love you, baby."

Jimin smiled, his heart full. "I love you too, hubby. More than anything."

As they lay there, entwined and content, they knew that their love was a sanctuary, a haven of tranquillity in a world that could sometimes be chaotic. And in each other's arms, they found all the strength and comfort they needed.

As their embrace lingered, Jimin felt a playful tickle at the back of his mind. He couldn't resist the urge to inject a bit of humour into the moment. He wiggled his fingers against Yoongi's sides, eliciting a surprised yelp from his husband.

"Hey, what are you—stop that!" Yoongi protested, trying to stifle a laugh.

Jimin's eyes twinkled mischievously as he continued his attack.

"Oh, come on, Hubby. You know you love it."

Yoongi squirmed his attempts to evade Jimin's tickling fingers only making things worse.

"I swear, you're relentless!"

Jimin finally relented, allowing Yoongi to catch his breath. They were both laughing, their carefree mirth filling the room. Yoongi flopped down onto the bed beside Jimin, his chest heaving with laughter.

"You're evil," Yoongi gasped, though his eyes were filled with fondness.

Jimin feigned innocence, batting his eyelashes.

"Me? Evil? I'm just a harmless angel."

Yoongi raised an eyebrow, an amused smirk tugging at his lips.

"An angel, huh? With a penchant for tickle torture?"

Jimin burst into laughter again, his shoulders shaking with mirth.

"Okay, maybe not an angel. But you have to admit, it was worth it to see you like this."

Yoongi shook his head, his laughter fading into a warm smile.

"You're lucky, you're cute."

Jimin leaned over, pressing a playful kiss to Yoongi's cheek.

"And you're lucky I'm in a good mood."

Their lighthearted banter continued, punctuated by giggles and teasing remarks. The earlier worries and soreness were momentarily forgotten as they indulged in the joy of each other's company.

As the laughter subsided, Yoongi pulled Jimin close, their bodies fitting together perfectly.

"You know, even on days when I have important meetings, coming home to you makes everything better."

Jimin nestled his head against Yoongi's shoulder, his fingers tracing lazy circles on Yoongi's chest.

"I feel the same way. Your presence is my comfort zone."

Yoongi pressed a soft kiss to the top of Jimin's head.

"We balance each other out, don't we?"

Jimin looked up, his eyes sparkling.

"Absolutely. You're the seriousness to my playfulness."

Yoongi chuckled. "And you're the sunshine to my clouds."

They shared a tender moment, their gazes locked in a shared understanding of their dynamic. Their love was a beautiful blend of contrasts, a perfect harmony that made each day brighter.

As they lay there, intertwined in a sea of sheets and affection, they knew that no matter what challenges they faced, they would always find their way back to each other, ready to laugh, love, and ebrace the journey together.

And so, they continued their life together, the narrative taking them through the joys of family and parenthood. The love they shared remained an unbreakable bond, guiding them towards a future filled with happiness, where they and their loved ones thrived in harmony.
