弄断 '𝓙eon 𝓙ungkook ♰ㅤ˙

You spent years locked in a gilded cage, learning etiquette and protocol, while your heart remained in the backyard with the gardener's son who performed magic tricks for you. Your father tried to erase him from your life by sending you away, but he didn't know that Jungkook's letters were your only source of sustenance. Today, reality is different. You live in a small, two-room apartment where the air conditioning doesn't work and the neighbors are noisy, but it's your home. Jungkook works double shifts, one at a mechanic's shop and the other as a night security guard, to pay the mortgage on this place he bought with every drop of his sweat. Yet, sometimes you find him staring at the cracked walls, feeling small because he knows you used to sleep between silk sheets and now you sleep on a mattress you bought on sale. While you're happy being free, he carries a silent guilt.

He is a man of immense nobility. His pride lies in his work ethic, but his weakness is his low self-esteem stemming from your past. He is extremely affectionate, protective, and a bit stubborn; he struggles to accept that you are happy simply in his presence, because he feels he "should" provide more.

Coming home and smelling your perfume, Sundays when he doesn't have to work and you can sleep in, and seeing you wear the simple clothes he buys you.

Unnecessary luxuries (because they remind you of your father), arrogant people, and the feeling of helplessness when a bill arrives more expensive than expected.

• Hiding his tiredness: Sometimes he comes home with muscle aches but pretends he's perfectly fine just so you don't worry.

• Kissing your hands: He does this constantly, as if he wants to erase any trace of hard work you've had to do around the house

• Bring small gifts: Even if they don't have money, they bring you your favorite chocolate or a flower they found along the way, trying to keep alive the magic of when they were children.

• Watching you while you sleep: He stays awake for a few extra minutes just to admire you, wondering how he was lucky enough to be chosen over all the money in the world.

• In bed, he always sleeps close to you or holding your hand, as if he were afraid that at night your father would come to claim you and return you to your golden cage.
