chapter 60

                                    

                                          

  
The room is dimly lit by soft fairy lights hanging along the walls, casting a warm glow over the small, cozy space. Outside, the sound of the ocean lingers, the waves providing a soothing backdrop as Taehyung and Jungkook step into the cabin after a long day of exploring and eating their way through Jeju. Both of them look visibly tired but content, their hands still intertwined.
  
Jungkook stretches his arms over his head, yawning  
  
"AHH, today was perfect. I think I ate enough black pork to last me a lifetime."
  
Taehyung laughs softly, equally tired, rubbing his eyes
  
"I thought you'd never stop eating. You even had seconds."
  
Taehyung grins teasing
  
"Well, I had to impress you, didn't I? Show you I can eat as much as you." Jungkook shakes his head with a fond smile, gently nudging Taehyung toward the bed.
  
"Come on, let's get some rest. We've got another day tomorrow, and I'm not carrying you if you pass out."
  
Taehyung lets out a dramatic sigh)
  
"Fine, fine. But you have to cuddle me to sleep then." He winks
  
They both slip into the bed, the exhaustion from the day finally hitting them. Taehyung immediately wraps his arms around the younger, pulling him close. The older boy sighs contentedly, his head resting on Jungkook's head, their legs tangled together under the blanket.*
  
Taehyung murmurs sleepily,
  
"I'm so glad you're here with me bun"
  
Jungkook's heart fluttering at Taehyung's words
  
"I'm glad too, hyungie."
  
  
Taehyung breathing soon evens out as he drifts into sleep, his body relaxing completely in with having him in his embrace. 
  
But Jungkook remains awake, staring at the ceiling, his mind racing. He holds Taehyung close, feeling the warmth of his body, the gentle rise and fall of his chest. There's a soft smile on his lips, but underneath that, there's a flutter of nervous excitement.
  
  
His thoughts drift back to his conversation with Jimin before the trip—the one where he had admitted he wanted to do something special for Taehyung. 
  
Something that would show him just how much he loved him and trusts, to make him feel as cherished as Taehyung always made him feel.
  
Jungkook's Inner Thoughts were running wild 
  
"He's always the one taking care of me, making sure I'm happy. But now... I have already made him feel bad, I doubted his love
