A Husband Who Follows His Wife Everywhere

The next morning, Taehyung woke before dawn.

The first thing he noticed...

Something warm was wrapped tightly around his waist.

"..."

He slowly looked down.

Jungkook.

The taller man was sleeping soundly, one arm and one leg draped over Taehyung like a giant child hugging his favorite pillow.

Taehyung tried to move.

Jungkook tightened his embrace.

"..."

He tried again.

Jungkook buried his face against Taehyung's shoulder.

"Wife..."

Taehyung sighed.

"Jungkook."

No response.

"Wake up."

Still nothing.

Only a soft snore answered him.

Outside, Mother Jeon knocked gently.

"Taehyung? Are you both awake?"

Taehyung smiled awkwardly.

"Y-Yes, Mother."

"...Can you come for breakfast?"

"I'll be there soon."

He looked at the sleeping man beside him.

"...If he lets me go."

After several minutes of struggling, Taehyung finally managed to slip out of Jungkook's embrace.

Just as he reached the door—

"Wife!"

Jungkook suddenly sat upright.

His hair pointed in every direction.

He blinked around the room in panic.

"Wife gone!"

Seeing Taehyung standing near the door, his face immediately brightened.

"Wife!"

He jumped off the bed barefoot and happily ran over.

"I thought Wife disappeared."

Taehyung chuckled.

"I was only going to eat."

"Oh."

Jungkook grabbed Taehyung's sleeve.

"Then I eat with Wife."

At breakfast, Father Jeon placed a small cloth bag on the table.

"There are only a few vegetable seeds left."

He looked at Taehyung.

"We'll plant them today."

Taehyung nodded.

"After breakfast."

Before he could take another bite...

Jungkook picked up a steamed bun and held it toward him.

"Wife."

Taehyung blinked.

"What?"

"Open."

"..."

Everyone around the table smiled knowingly.

Mother Jeon covered her mouth to hide her laughter.

"Kookie wants to feed you."

Taehyung felt his ears warm.

"I can feed myself."

Jungkook pouted.

"But I want to."

"..."

Knowing Jungkook wouldn't give up, Taehyung reluctantly leaned forward and took a small bite.

Jungkook immediately clapped happily.

"Wife ate!"

The family laughed.

"Our Kookie is becoming a good husband," Father Jeon said with amusement.

Taehyung lowered his head, embarrassed.

After breakfast, everyone headed toward the field.

Taehyung carefully measured the distance between each seed before planting them.

His movements were steady and practiced.

Father Jeon watched curiously.

"You've done this before?"

"A little."

Actually...

In his previous life, he had studied sustainable farming for disaster relief.

He simply couldn't explain that.

Jungkook knelt beside him.

"Wife."

"Mm?"

"What am I doing?"

Taehyung looked down.

Jungkook had accidentally planted three pebbles instead of seeds.

"...Those are stones."

Jungkook blinked.

"Oh."

Without hesitation, he dug them back out.

Then he proudly handed the stones to Taehyung.

"Wife keep."

"...Why?"

"They're pretty."

Taehyung looked at the smooth little stones in his palm.

One was white.

One was pale green.

One had a tiny heart-shaped mark.

For some reason...

He couldn't bring himself to throw them away.

He slipped them into his sleeve.

"Thank you."

Jungkook smiled so brightly that even the sunlight seemed dim beside him.

As noon approached, the family rested beneath a large tree.

The eldest sister-in-law suddenly frowned.

"I feel dizzy."

Mother Jeon immediately helped her sit down.

"Don't work anymore."

"Your health comes first."

Taehyung quietly checked her pulse.

The baby was healthy.

She simply needed better nutrition.

"I'll gather some herbs later."

The eldest sister-in-law smiled gratefully.

"Thank you, Third Brother-in-law."

The second sister-in-law watched silently.

Her lips smiled...

But her thoughts did not.

"Why is everyone praising him?"

"Even Mother listens to him now."

"He's only been here three days..."

Taehyung pretended not to hear.

He knew jealousy could not be solved with words.

Only time would reveal people's true hearts.

That afternoon, the family returned home.

As Taehyung organized the herbs he had collected, a loud knock echoed from outside.

Father Jeon opened the gate.

Standing there was the village head.

Behind him were several curious villagers.

The village head smiled politely.

"I heard your eldest daughter-in-law is finally expecting."

Father Jeon grinned proudly.

"Yes."

"And..."

The village head looked toward Taehyung.

"I also heard your new daughter-in-law knows medicine."

Taehyung stood respectfully.

"I know only a little."

The village head sighed.

"My grandson has had a fever for three days."

"The village healer's medicine isn't helping."

"I wonder..."

"Could you take a look?"

Before Taehyung could answer—

Jungkook suddenly stepped in front of him with both arms spread wide.

"Wife tired!"

"No take Wife!"

Everyone blinked.

The village head chuckled.

"Kookie, I only want to borrow your wife for a while."

Jungkook shook his head vigorously.

"No!"

"Wife mine!"

Mother Jeon gently patted Jungkook's shoulder.

"Kookie."

"The child is sick."

Jungkook frowned deeply, clearly struggling to understand.

After a long moment, he slowly turned toward Taehyung.

"Wife... go?"

Taehyung smiled softly.

"I'll come back."

Jungkook immediately grabbed his sleeve.

"...Promise?"

"I promise."

Only then did Jungkook reluctantly let go.

Still...

He quietly followed behind Taehyung.

One step.

Then another.

Like a loyal puppy afraid his owner might disappear.

The villagers couldn't help laughing.

"Our village fool has truly become inseparable from his wife."

No one noticed that among the crowd stood a familiar figure.

Taehyung's older brother.

Hidden behind a tree, his face twisted with envy as he watched Jungkook treasure the sibling he had always looked down on.

His fists clenched tightly.

"That place..."

"It should have been mine."
