Summary: You and your boyfriend Haechan decided to go on a sweet and sunny picnic date, but the rain decided to change your plans for the day.
a/n: I’m still experimenting with my writing, so your kind comments would be more than welcome! thank you and happy reading ^.^
“Pink and green or blue and white?”, you said as you twirled around “gracefully” in front of your boyfriend, Haechan whilst holding up two of your outfit choice to wear for the beautiful Sunday picnic date. You both have been waiting for this weekend picnic date since forever — well, mostly YOU.
You’ve been counting the days to be able to be with your loving boyfriend again after being away from each other for 2 weeks due to work commitments. “You look pretty in both of them”, your boyfriend said with a cheeky smile as he took a few steps in front of you and held you by the waist to peck you on your right cheek. You were caught off-guard by his actions and now your cheeks were flushed in peachy tints mixed with your cherry red hued blusher you’ve just applied.
“hey, nooo..”, you cupped your cheeks abruptly as you laid the outfits you were holding one second ago on the edge of the bed. “I just did my makeup, now you’ve just smudged it”, you showed a pouty face at Haechan. To which he replied with “ awww its okay c’mere let me touch up the blusher for you, okay?” he smiled reassuringly to you—but his face was a few inches away from you. He picked up the blush brush and expertly re-applied your blusher with short but precise strokes along your cheeks. He has been watching you apply your makeup for quite some time now so sometimes you do have a bonding session with him through it—oftentimes, it ends up in a pillow fight because he would make you look like a clown...well that’s Lee Haechan, your beloved boyfriend for you.
Shortly, after the both of you finally got dressed and as usual you are always infatuated by your boyfriend’s cologne scent that is mixed with his natural body scent. Hints of pine, velvet and the woody earthiness of sage wafts through the air as he spritz his branded cologne on. You always wonder how his scent always lingers on him throughout the day when he only uses it very deliberately. You are convinced that your boyfriend just has a natural scent to him that would always smitten you from across the room.
“Let’s go, shall we?”, Haechan said as he donned black jeans, white top and his dark washed denim jacket on, finishing the look with his favourite snapback back. You nodded and went straight to the car whilst holding the picnic basket filled with yummy food, sparkling water, red and white checkered picnic blanket and cute wooden cutleries.

You arrived at Han River whilst the sun (the literal sun and your favourite sun in human form, Haechan) was shining brightly. It felt so good to let the sun brush against your skin delicately after weeks being coped up with work commitments. The air was fresh and crisp as the light breeze lightly swayed your white skirt. With Haechan’s hand finding its way to find your delicate fingers and intertwines with your soft hands, you were feeling giddy and excited for your date!
As you and Haechan found a cozy corner under a big shady tree across the park, you both started to lay out the picnic items and took photos of each other candidly. You took your time and laid on the blanket with Haechan after you both had settled down being cheeky with each other. You faced each other and unexpectedly locked eyes. You felt your heart thumping from being flustered. Haechan, on the other hand, was very confident in his gaze to you as he intently looked at you with admiration and love—honestly, he questioned himself everyday how did he end up with such an angel like you.
Suddenly, Haechan leans forward to your face and lands his soft plush lips on your nose for a quick peck. “ I love you!”, he said on a whim. You hide your flushed red face with your hands. “I love you too!”, you mumbled to him as he stayed in a 5cm position away from your face. “...but let’s eat now okay?” you said with a chuckle. he nodded in response with a sheepish smile.
You started to nibble on snacks and drink sparkling water in a fancy iridescent frosted glass flute that Haechan recently bought for you since you loved collecting fancy and cute glassware items recently. Your likes and dislikes are always observed by him and you are honestly so blessed to have him in your life. It’s always the little things.
You were talking about mundane things and chuckling like teenagers when you felt a droplet of rain on your arms. It started to drizzle moments after, you and Haechan scurried around to pack the things and run to the nearest gazebo that was not far from your picnic spot. As you both were running quickly to get to the shade as they were partially drenched already.
Being a natural romanticist for you, Haechan held up his denim jacket above your head as you held the picnic basket in your hand. It was as if he knew this was going to happen—he doesn’t usually wear his denim jacket to a picnic date. Once you’ve safely arrived under the big white gazebo, he gives his denim jacket to you in one hand to make sure you keep yourself warm and another grabs the handle of the picnic basket to place it on the ledge.
You passed the basket to him and wore his denim jacket over your shoulder. “Are you okay?” “Still feeling cold?” do you want something warm to drink `” or do you want to go home?” Haechan was rapping all these to you. You chuckled, “ no, no, don’t worry okay? I'm fine”. You smiled at him as he had a worried look written all over his face. You knew how much Haechan wanted this date to go well but sometimes the weather just alters your itinerary for the day.
You gave Haechan a sudden back hug because you wanted him to stay warm as well whilst waiting for the rain to stop. “Let's keep you warm too, okay”, you said briefly as you lay your chin on his back. But, your boyfriend’s hands gently held your arms that were on his waist to shift the position to warm his arms on your waist instead — yes, now he was giving you a big warm back hug.
His lightly calloused fingers encircle your waist and bring you close to his chest to let his natural warmth radiate through close proximity.
“You know, I’m the only one who can give you a back hug and keep you warm, okay?”
He gave you a sweet peck on the side of your cheek from behind and swept your silky brown hair behind your ear only to mutter;
“Sorry the date didn’t work out as planned but let’s go for some ice cream after this okay and we can watch our favourite kissing booth movie together okay?”
You nodded and a smile crept up your lips as if it was a voluntary response from your body for Haechan.

Summary: You and your husband Haechan decided to go grocery shopping together and stumbled upon someone that made you want to ask whether you were ready to build a family.
It was a Sunday morning and both you and your husband Haechan were beat from last night’s impromptu karaoke session that went on till 4am since your husband just can’t stop serenading you his favourite Micheal Jacksons’ songs. It was definitely sweet of him to share his Spotify playlist(S) with you back when you were still his girlfriend. But not when you’re now his wife and would have to listen to his anthem Smooth Criminal at least thrice a day — but you also fell in love with him because of that. He really proposed to you to be his girlfriend through his Spotify playlist!
As of right now, you’re just too madly in love with this man to deny anything from him. “hey, morning”, he muffles his words under the blanket and slowly stretches his arms around your waist. “so, what are you doing today?”, you said as you positioned your face in front of him and tugged the blanket he used to hide his face in. Haechan was smiling through the blanket as he playfully peeps at you through the blanket and stared at you face for a bit before answering you, “maybe we should go grocery shopping together today, what do you think, hm?”, you smiled playfully and nodded through the blanket that was once on Haechan’s head. You both knew that it was still a tad bit early to go now so you just cuddled together for another 10 mins or so you thought—it was actually an hour later when you both got up and got ready to go to the nearby supermarket to buy your groceries.
As soon as you and your husband arrived at the supermarket it was packed with people and you were already thinking whether you should just go home—but you husband was adamant to still pick up the necessary items like milk, bread and chocoballs (Maltesers to be exact, his absolute favourite). So you just went in the automated glass door entrance of the Groceria whilst Haechan grabbed the trolley. Once you found the perishable food aisle you asked your husband if he wanted some more tofu and kimchi since he loved to cook kimchijiggae at least twice a week. “of course! yes yes” he cheered to you and with a smile he winked and you were a bit flustered because you can never get used to your husband’s love language (flirting with you 24/7 at the most random times). “alrighty haechan i get you now turn down a notch... there are people staring at us” haechan smirked and strolled the trolley to the bread section that was a few steps away.
Unbeknown to you, suddenly you felt someone tugging your maxi dress from behind. You were about to scream your husband’s name aloud because you were already internally screaming for a split second. You quickly turned around to see a very small figure with a height just above your knees tugging your dress tightly. The tiny baby girl had long hair in a ponytail and eyes were wet with tears. “Are you okay sweetheart? Where are your parents? Are you alright? don’t cry, okay let’s find mummy and daddy”, you bombarded her with questions since you were feeling flustered as the small figure’s crying didn’t stop.
Haechan saw you and was about to approach you but stopped his tracks as he saw your maternal side when you started to hug the child’s small figure to calm her. He felt weird. Not the bad kind of weird — rather, something in him was infatuated by the sight of you and him having a child together. To have his very own small family. He was lost in his own thoughts but quickly brought back to reality as the mother of the child in your hands scurried through the crowd to reach her crying baby girl. “I'm so sorry! Eun Hae tends to run off on her own sometimes whenever she gets a little too giddy but would also then cry when she loses her way to me” the mother rambles and sighs at the end as she tells you about her daughter. By this time your husband was beside you and also trying to entertain the small girl to ease her cries whilst the mother was explaining to you. Shortly after, the mother then thanked you again and left the both of you again now walking towards the freshly baked bread section of the Groceria.
You noticed that haechan was stealing looks at you. “um, is there something on my face?”, you quickly brushed your face with your fingers. He smiled “no, you don’t” and briefly chuckled. Both of you went back to shopping for the groceries together speedily since the supermarket was now very packed. The queues were long and you both kept things minimal and bought only the absolute necessities ( yes, Maltesers included) and went to the self checkout counter to make your payment.
As soon as you were in the car and loaded the shopping bags in, haechan was still stealing looks at you. “Ok haechan tell me...what is on your mind?” You just knew that at this point he wasn’t trying to get your attention to flirt with you or any of his mischievous acts since he had “I have something to tell you” written all over his face. Haechan quickly adjusted his body to face you from the driver’s seat. “Okay so actually just now when you were calming the little girl from crying... i was— well I’ve been thinking about it for awhile now... do you think we should... you know... have our own little family?”, he said as he looked into your eyes earnestly. “I saw how you looked at the little girl and how you calmed her down...I just know that you will be able to be the best mother for our children” he continued. You, on the other hand, were feeling relieved and over the moon when your husband finally asked you this. You’ve always felt unsure on how to bring up this topic with him to discuss because it was always either you were both too busy with work or just unsure how to word it to you husband—mostly due to the latter.
You positioned yourself upright as you face your husband in the car with just the white noise of the wind blasting through the car’s air-conditioning chambers. “I- thank you haechan. Thank you and yes! yes I would love too”, you mumbled to him as you looked back at him at the verge of tears streaming down your peach tint cheeks.
You both hugged each other and savoured the moment into the embrace. “okay but let's go home first okay? or else your maltesers’ going to melt”, you said with a chuckle.
