"Today has been absolutely exhausting day," Jungkook exclaimed, his voice laced with fatigue, as he collapsed onto the bed.

Taetae sat beside him, his eyes filled with empathy, and his gaze fixed on Jungkook's face.

Taetae then gently climbed into Jungkook's lap, cradling his face in his hands, and his eyes locked onto the small scar on Jungkook's left cheek - a testament to Jungkook's bravery when he stood up to those bullies.

Taetae caressed Jungkook's cheeks with his hands, his touch gentle and soothing, as he felt his heart ache at the thought of his beloved wifeu in pain.

"Taetae is sorry, it all happened because of Taetae," he said, taking all the blame upon himself, his voice filled with remorse.

Jungkook smiled warmly and wrapped his arms around Taetae, tenderly stroking Taehyung's hair with his fingers.

"Oh, baby, don't blame yourself. It's not your fault, okay? As your wifey , it's my responsibility to protect you, even though you're the one who should be protecting me," Jungkook said, thinking the last part to himself as he gazed lovingly at Taetae.

"Are you feeling sleepy? Do you want booboo?" Jungkook asked, using a term of endearment, as Taetae shook his head to indicate no.

"No, Taetae wants his wifeu close to him," Taetae said, his voice filled with love, as he hugged Jungkook's neck, nuzzling his face into the crook of Jungkook's neck, savoring the intoxicating scent of his wifey.

"Wifey is only here with you near you, Taetae," Jungkook said, continuing to caress Taetae's hair, when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Who's there?" Jungkook called out, as a female voice was heard from the other side.

"It's me, Kookie," Mrs. Kim said, and Jungkook quickly put Taetae down and rushed towards the door, opening it wide after realizing it was his mother-in-law.

"Come in, Eomma, sorry for making you wait, and you don't need to knock," Jungkook said, moving aside to let Mrs. Kim enter.

As Mrs. Kim entered the room, she saw Taehyung lying on the bed, spread out like a starfish.

"It's okay, dear, as you two are a couple, we should always enter after knocking, understand?" Mrs. Kim said softly, making Jungkook nod his head in agreement.

As Mrs. Kim sat on the bed, Jungkook pulled up a chair and sat down beside her.

"How did you get that scratch?" Mrs. Kim asked, gently caressing Taetae's hair, whose head was now laid on Mrs. Kim's lap.

"It was just a minor altercation," Jungkook said, casting his gaze downward, which prompted a sigh from Mrs. Kim.

"And what led to this fight?" Mrs. Kim inquired, her eyes fixed on Jungkook.

"They were simply bullying taetae, so I stepped in to protect him," Jungkook replied, his voice barely above a whisper, causing Mrs. Kim to sigh once more.

"Come, sit beside me," Mrs. Kim said, gesturing to the space next to her. Jungkook rose from the chair and sat down beside her. Mrs. Kim tenderly stroked Jungkook's cheeks and asked,

"Does it hurt? Would you like me to apply some cream to help it heal?" Her voice was infused with gentle concern.

"No, no, Eomma, please don't worry, I'm fine," Jungkook reassured her, taking Mrs. Kim's hand in his own, and offering a gentle smile.

"Please wait here, I'll be right back," Mrs. Kim said, carefully placing Taetae's head on the pillow, who let out a soft whine.

Mrs. Kim then briefly left the room and returned with a cream in her hand. She sat beside Jungkook and began to gently apply the cream to his cheeks, who gazed at her with a soft expression.

After finishing with the cream, Mrs. Kim put it aside and gazed at Jungkook with a warm, reassuring smile.

"Your injury will heal soon," she said. Jungkook suddenly wrapped his arms around Mrs. Kim, resting his head on her shoulder.

Mrs. Kim was initially taken aback by the sudden hug but warmly reciprocated, gently stroking Jungkook's hair with her fingers.

"What's wrong, dear?" Mrs. Kim asked, her hand gently stroking Jungkook's hair.

"You've never let me feel the absence of my mother," Jungkook replied, his voice filled with gratitude, which made Mrs. Kim smile warmly.

"You're the best mother-in-law I could ask for, and I feel so fortunate to have you in my life," Jungkook said, his voice filled with emotion, as he nuzzled closer to Mrs. Kim.

"And I'm equally fortunate to have a kind, mature, and understanding son-in-law like you. My Taehyung is truly blessed to have a life partner like you," Mrs. Kim said, her voice filled with warmth, as she felt a sense of joy in her heart.

"Why are you crying, my dear?" Mrs. Kim asked, pulling Jungkook away from the hug and gently wiping his tears.

"They're just happy tears, Eomma," Jungkook replied, smiling through his tears.

"Now, sleep dear, it's already late at night," Mrs. Kim said, as Kook nodded his head in agreement. Soon, Mrs. Kim left after wishing the couple a good night and giving them a peck on the cheek.

Kook looked at Taetae, who was sleeping while sucking on Kook's b**bs. Kook sighed and caressed Taehyung's hair, thinking to himself,

"When will you come out of your little space?" Kook was eager to meet the real Taehyung, not just the little Taetae persona.

He really wishes to meet the real Taehyung and wonders how the bigger Taehyung will be.

Oh, boy, he had no idea that if the real Taehyung were to emerge, it would be a completely different story. Poor Kook had no clue that the real Taehyung was far more different from his little space personality.

" Big Taehyung is coming soon "
