A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person

"Jungkook, don't move too much. Ugh, Jungkook! How many times should I tell you not to splash water at me?", Hana yelled at the guy who was sitting in the bathtub with a cheeky smile. She grunted and sat down on the stool again to help him.

"Jungkook, I swear if you do anything stupid, I will leave you here by yourself", she warned and he pouted like a baby. She looked down to hide her smile caused by his cuteness. She can't be serious at him for more than a minute and he knew that well.

"Didn't you promise me? Didn't you tell me, that will take care me like your bunny?", he asked, with the pout plastered on his face and she blushed at his words. She made many promises and all of them are just so adorable to him.

"Jungkook, stay still now. Let me bathe you first. Don't be a kid", she ruffled his wet hair and he smiled. She started rubbing the sponge on his body, ignoring all the intense and loving stares from the man in front of her. She knows what he is trying to do.

"I can do that myself", he told her but she just ignored and continued washing his naked self. He is not embarrassed but he is almost recovered. He doesn't want to trouble his dear wife for this. All the time he wants to shower together which she denies even after a thousand pleas.

"It's been 6 weeks Hana. I think I can do it myself. Why are you struggling so much? You always wake up early for me, walk up and down to get things I need. You know, right? I am recovering", he asked her and she nodded. He raised her chin with his index finger and locked his eyes with hers.

"Jungkook", she called and he smiled.

"What are you scared of, Hana? Are you scared of losing me?", he asked and she looked away. The air turned serious now. She is scared of losing him, ever since that accident happened. Though she knows he is fine, a part of her is always scared of that. Also, the guilt of treating him badly when all he did was trying to save their love is haunting her every day.

"Can we talk about this later? We are in the bathroom", she spoke and he chuckled.

"We are both alone and isn't it better here? No one can come in, even by accident", he spoke and she sighed. He gestured her to come near him and she did as he asked her. He pointed the place beside him and she shook her head immediately.

"Come on, Hana, the bathtub is spacious enough for two people. Don't worry, I will make sure things do not get hot. Not now, at least", he spouted and she widened her eyes, her cheeks turning warm with his nonchalant words. 

"Just come already, please", he displayed his puppy eyes and she had to submit. Well! Does she have another choice?

She got in the bathtub and slowly placed herself beside him, making sure not to hurt his leg. As soon as she settled, he put his wet arms on her shoulder, causing her to flinch a bit. She was in her bathrobe and it turned completely wet as she dipped her body into the water. The cold water met her skin but she is more affected with Jungkook beside, completely naked, and still on the verge of recovering.

It is not like she doesn't want to do the things with him but she is concerned about his condition. Though Jungkook really makes it difficult for her to control her fantasies, she makes sure to only restrict to a long and deep kiss. 

"Darling", he called her softly and she turned to him. He looked at her as his only world and she knew that gaze from the time he first confessed, during the college times. 

"You know this is not the first time I am telling you this. But you should not be like this, Hana. I will never ever leave you, not even by accident. I know things have been bad between us but this is not the way we should be, Hana. We should not live with fear", he entwined her hands and rested his head on her shoulder. 

"Jungkook-", she tried to speak but he cut her off.

"Let me complete, Hana", he spoke and she remained silent.

"I agree that we are not advancing our physical relationship because of my injury and I completely understand that. I believe we don't need that to stay stable. But the fears within us can lead to something bad which we can't expect, Hana. We can't guess what will happen next in our life so don't be bothered by those thoughts. You know how much I love you, don't you?", he asked her, lifting his head. She nodded and he smiled, now locking their foreheads, leaving a minimal gap between them.

"So don't ever fear about me leaving you. I would never do that, even if the world has to end. I would walk to the ends of the moon to protect our love, Hana. I will never leave my darling. She is the reason why I violate the laws of nature", he spoke and she looked at him, confused at the last sentence. Her heart whelmed at his first words but she didn't understand the finishing line.

"I don't need oxygen, you know? You are enough for me to breathe", he whispered in her ear and she slapped his arm lightly, getting all red at his cheesiness.

"You look red, darling. I didn't even do anything. I wonder which color you will turn when I start doing things on you and that date is not any far", he whispered huskily in her ear, causing goosebumps all over her body. It isn't amusing to her. She knew he can control her senses with the slightest actions and there he is, proving it without much effort.

"Stop it, Jungkook", she buried her face in his shoulder bones and he giggled, brushing her hairs with his fingers. Pulling her close, he planted soft kisses on her hairs and she smiled, drawing small circles on his naked chest.

"Hana, I know things went harsh between us. But see us now, we are back to normal. It is just a test for us to see if we can withstand the obstacles in our path. I know you are feeling guilty but I don't want you to. I did it for me, for you and it got us here. You were just confused and things got complicated with you. It's not completely your fault that we have gone through such a phase. Please don't blame yourself, darling", he raised her head and kissed her forehead. Her eyes started to turn moist at his warm words. She knew, out of all the men in this world, he is the right one for her by every mean and every cause.

"I am so sorry, Jungkook. I don't know why but I always feel this. I don't deserve you Jungkook. I don't deserve all this love. I treated you so bad and had been a bad wenc-", she was cut off as he pecked her lips.

"Dare you try to call yourself that name again, I will stop talking to you. You are an angel to me, Hana. What can I say then? I do feel like I don't deserve you but I swear I will not let you go at any cost. I love you, Hana, and let's leave the past now. We have a long way to go and I don't want us to waste time sulking over our past", he expressed his thoughts and she smiled, hugging him from the side.

"I will try my best to not bring any of that in front of us again", she muttered and he pecked her lips in response.

"We have so much to do, darling and I can't wait till the day I am completely well. I swear I will not let you step out of the room once you find me all good. I think I am completely fine but as long as you say, I won't go ahead. But trust me, darling, once I lay my hands on you, there is nothing in this world that can stop me", he uttered in a huskier voice and she turned even redder. He smiled in satisfaction and trailed his wet fingers on her face. She closed her eyes in cue and he leaned to take the lead. 

He pressed his lips on her and she encircled her arms around his neck, pulling him close. Each and every time they kiss, they knew they are transported into another world of intense delight. Every time, they explore each other, it gives them a new yet so familiar feeling. Drowning each other into their unparalleled love, they drifted into their sphere of eternal love

 From the time Jungkook got discharged, Hana took sole responsibility for his well being. Of course, Jin and Ara are there to help her but Hana's only job from the time the sun rises to the time when Jungkook snores is to take care of him. 

She took extreme care of him and treated him like a glass doll. She took care of his diet, his medicines, his checkups, and all his needs including helping him with his toilet stuff. She even did the bed bathing when he was strictly restricted to bed in the first days.

Jungkook was so overwhelmed with her love and insisted on depending more on the maids of the house but Hana was stubborn. She doesn't want a single mistake to happen while taking care of him. 

Ara's competitions started and she became quite busy. And Jin took the responsibility of the company and had a hard time managing both his acting and the business. Though in the latter days, Jungkook started working sometime from the home itself.

The six weeks went well with the friends visiting them in between. Hana and Jungkook repaired their relation to a greater extent and didn't waste a moment without being romantic. Hana is ready to do anything to make her man happy and Jungkook is all ready to take in her love.

"Darling", he called her as they pulled out and she looked at him to continue.

"I am wondering if you have another heart", he asked and she looked at him, trying to decipher what he is intending.

"Because someone stole mine", he completed and she blushed, slapping his chest lightly.

"You should start a dairy product business. You are full of cheese these days", she muttered and he tittered at her words.

"Now, let me bathe you. Jin Oppa will kill me for taking too much time. We need to get ready and get down", Saying this, Hana got out of the bathtub while Jungkook frowned.

"Can't we be like that for some more time?", he asked with a pout and she shook her head, reaching the sponge to cleanse him.

"Well! Remember that I am saving everything for later, Hana", he smirked and she blushing, continuing to bathe him.

"Once you allow me, I will make sure to do you until you beg for air, darling"

"Ara is having a match today and I am scared", Jin sighed as he got seated on the table, after helping Jungkook to get seated. 

"Why?", Jungkook asked as he knew noona is always ready for the match.

"She is not feeling well. She is constantly puking and I am scared if that would affect her match", he explained, and the younger couple stole glances at each other. Jin looked anxious and he didn't even serve himself food.

"Oppa, since when is she having that? Is she having morning sickness?", Hana asked and Jin thought for a moment. 

"She told me she is feeling that for three days but I don't know precisely. She only told me today about the whole thing, I am dead worried about her. She will not be herself if she loses the match", he exhaled a long breath, fiddling with his fingers.

"Oppa, do you know when girls have that kind of feeling? I mean..", Hana tried to get the proper words and Jin looked at her, trying to decipher what she is trying to convey.

"Hyung, did you use the protection?", Jungkook blurted and Jin's eyes widened.

"You mean there could be a chance of Ara being pregnant? We always used protection but..", he stopped his words and clutched the spook in his hands.

"There could be a chance. It is not for sure", Hana tried to calm him but he started shivering already.

"What the hell did I do? If she gets pregnant, her career will be at stake. How can I be so careless?  I am sure she will leave everything to bear the child. Shit! I don't want that. I don't want to hinder her career", he panicked with his eyes turning moist.

"Hyung", Jungkook placed his hand on his shoulder.

"I made a mess Jungkook ah. I can't forgive myself for this. I just can't..", Jin let out tears and Hana got up, to stand beside him. She pressed her hands on his shoulder and he looked at the ground.

"It's not confirmed, Oppa. And it's not your fault that it happened like this. Ara will understand", Hana tried to assure him and he nodded. He knew it's not confirmed but a part of him is scared if it's true. He loves to be a father but now is not the right time.

Ara is young and she has a long way in her career. A pregnancy at this time could only slow her down and make it tough to get back on track. Being a mother is a responsibility and Ara wouldn't think twice to leave anything for the betterment of their child. 

"I will talk to her after the match"

#####

"Did you do the test?", he asked and she nodded, from the other side of the phone. She is in Japan for one of the annual boxing championships. Unfortunately, she lost the match but it didn't bother her when Jin expressed his doubts about their pregnancy to her. She is scared, dumbfounded, and blank, and many other emotions mixed together, making her feel overwhelmed. 

"Ara, why are you silent? Tell me what is the result", he grumbled and she looked down.

"Jin, I am..", she stopped and held the pregnancy test module.

"Jin, I am....."
