Mark is busy slicing the watermelon in the kitchen while you take a nap on the living room couch. Quietly humming some random song, he loves days like this. When he can stay at home and be with his family.
Especially now that another Little Lee is on the way.
You've reached that point in your pregnancy where you're constantly tired, you feel bad about not being as active to take care and play with your son, Minjung, but he really is the best boy. He's been very understanding, he always makes sure you're okay. Just like how his dada taught him.
"Mom, are you awake?" you hear a tiny voice whisper, you can't help but smile and open your eyes. You weren't really sleeping. Just resting your feet and back.
"Yes, love. What is it?" you ask him
"You need water, mama? snacks?" he asks you
Chuckling at your cute son, you shake your head. Instead you pat the vacant spot next to you, Minjung carefully lays next to you.
"I miss hanging out with you, sorry mommy can't run and play outside with you" you tell him
"It's okay, mommy. Daddy says it's because you're growing little sissy right now so we need to take care of you and her"
You smile upon hearing your son's words. Only 5 but already he's wise beyond his years. One thing doesn't change though is his cute face looking more and more like his father's everyday.
Speaking of, Mark walked back to the living room to see his two favorite people on the couch having a small talk. He can hear the conversation between you and Minjung, quietly listening behind.
"You'll tell mama if you need anything okay? Once baby sister is here, it might seem like we're taking care of her a lot but we love you just as much"
"It's okay, mommy. I love you too"
You can't help it, he's just too cute. You squish your little boy's cheeks, hugging him as close as you can. Savoring these last moments of Minjung being an only child.
With the next one on the way, you've been worried about Minjung and how he'll react once the baby is here. But you know your son, he's smart and always kind. The moment you told him he's about to have a sibling, he's been very excited.
"Got room for one more?" Mark decides to finally interrupt, wanting to be a part of this special moment.
"Of course, come here" you open your arm, hugging both of your boys.
"Oh did you feel that?" you ask, making the two boys move away from you
"What?! You okay?" Mark worriedly asks, immediately getting off the couch and crouching on the floor instead. Gently pulling Minjung with him.
"She kicked, here" you take Mark and Minjung's hand and put it where you felt the kick. A few seconds later you felt it again
"Oh, is that little sissy?" Minjung asks you with an excited look on his face
"Yea, she's excited to meet you too"
"Does it hurt, mommy? When she kicks?"
"Sometimes, only when she kicks me here by the ribs but it's okay. She doesn't mean it. She's just trying to move around and stretch a bit" you explain to the little boy, Mark listening to the two of you while his hand draws circles on your tummy. Waiting for his little girl to kick again.
It's the second time but moments like this still amazes him. He can still remember the first time he felt Minjung kick in your tummy like it was yesterday, now the three of you are here feeling the baby girl's kicks. He hasn't met her yet but the amount of love Mark has for his daughter is already beyond this universe.
You, Minjung and this little baby girl is his whole world.
A few weeks later, it's time for Minjung to meet his new little sister
"Okay when we get there, we need to use inside voice okay? We wash our hands first" Mark tells his son, looking down at him.
The two boys make their way to the hospital where you're currently resting. Mark holding Minjung's hand while he holds a bouquet of flowers in the other.
"Okay you knock" he tells him, Minjung knocking gently on the door
"Come in" you say from the other side of the door, Mark opening the door. Immediately you see your baby boy, it's only been two days but it felt like forever since you last saw him.
"Hi, baby. I missed you" you tell him, already feeling the tears build up. Mark chuckles at you, while you roll your eyes at him. Mark helps Minjung wash his hands before the little boy walks over to you.
"Hi mommy, we got you flowers" he says, showing you the flowers
"Thank you, baby. I love them. Can mama have a hug?" you wait for Mark to help Minjung up the bed
"Careful with mom okay, gentle" Mark reminds him, you just smile at the two. Immediately you hug your little boy, compared to little newborn currently in the crib Minjung seems so big.
The thought enough to put tears in your eyes
"I was gone for two days, and you're already a big brother. Mommy missed you so much, buddy" you tell him, peppering kisses all over his face making the boy laugh.
"I missed you too, mommy. Is baby sissy okay?"
"Yea, she's here. You want to meet her?" you ask him, the little boy nodding excitedly.
"Okay, why don't you sit here while I get her?" Mark helps Minjung down from the bed, pointing at the little couch. Mark gets baby girl from her crib before walking towards where Minjung was seating.
Meanwhile you get your phone out to capture the moment.
"Minjung, meet your little sister Minjee" Mark tells his little boy, showing him the little bundle of joy wrapped in the pink blanket. Minjung looked a bit unsure at first, looking at his dad first.
"You can hold her, here she loves holding your finger like this. Gently okay?" Mark lets Minjung hold out one finger so little Minjee can hold it. You wipe the few tears that escaped, smiling at your family
"Hello, Minjee. I'm Minjung, your brother" he says happily. shaking his finger like they're shaking hands for the first time. Mark smiles at his son, kissing the top of his head before looking at his daughter.
"You're going to be the best of friends, you have to teach her how to color and play the piano and how to ride a bike. It's going to be so much fun" Mark tells him, "Would that be okay?"
"Mhm, we can play. I'll share my toys with her" Minjung answers
"Thanks buddy, that's very nice of you" Mark tells him, putting Minjee on his right arm so he can hug Minjung with the other one.
"I love the both of you very very much, more than anything. We take care of her like we take care of mommy, okay?"
"Okay"
"That's my boy" Mark mumbles, hugging Minjung tighter. Looking over at you to see you wiping more tears away.
"Guys, I love this moment but you're making me cry so much" you joke, Mark laughs before gently standing up to walk over to you. He passes Minjee over to you before he kisses you on the head.
"Good job, mom of two"
"Oh shut up, you did this to me" you joke, "Hey, as long as you're willing to. I can do it all over again. I love our babies very much, I don't mind having a few more" he tells you, you know what he means by that. At the end of the day it's your body that goes through a lot.
But looking down at the bundle of joy in your arms and your little man, you know you'd do it over and over again.
"Can we do it until one looks like me?"
"Dude, what are you talking about? She kinda looks like you"
You shoot him a deadpanned look, it's too soon to tell but even know you can see your daughter takes after her dad much like her older brother. As for Minjung, well one look at him and you'd know he's Mark's son.
"Kinda? She looks just like Minjung when he was born. She'll probably look like you too. I don't hate it though, more mini Mark's" you smile at your husband

ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠхёк вообще не мастер в готовке, а в выпекании просто профан. по всем фронтам в готовке пролетает, но марк, его обожаемый хён, он говорил, что очень хочет печенье и хэчан слишком любит того, чтобы не попробовать обрадовать сделать это. запах живой ёлки и открытое настежь окно не спасают, запах гари никуда не исчезает; за три с половиной часа донхёк уляпал всю кухню, хёновскую футболку, одолженную очень давно, и печенья подгорели, потому что не уследил за временем. ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ
ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ— хёкки? — на кухню залетает перепуганный марк и чуть не роняет на пол пакет с продуктами из списка. оставлять донхёка одного не всегда лучшая идея, — что произошло? ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ
ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ— хён, я... прости, я.. — младший теряется неожиданно, опуская голову на подгоревшие печеньки в виде зверушек и хлюпает носом, не зная как всё объяснить, — прости, хён. я пытался делать всё как указано в блоге, даже по времени почти уследил, но оно всё равно подгорело и теперь пойдёт только в мусорное ведро. ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ
ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠмарк смеётся громко и так приятно, что тело младшего покрывается мурашками, а уши краснеют, выдавая смущение. позже, разобрав по местам покупки и проветрив кухню, канадец с удовольствием уплетал печенье, которое, хоть и подгоревшее, но не менее вкусное. ᅠ ᅠᅠᅠᅠ

No matter how many times Haechan denies it, his friends would think the exact opposite. In the words of his good friend Huang Renjun, the reason why Haechan never shuts up is because he’s so in love with himself he just loves the sound of his own voice.
Rightfully so, Haechan always reasons out. Why would he not love it when he consistently scores high 90’s whenever they have karaoke nights. One game he know he doesn’t have to cheat his way into winning.
"Oh god, shut up please" Renjun groans
"What, I'm right though. If only I work out a bit more, I'm sure I can beat Jaemin on arm wrestling. Give me until the end of the year"
"I'd give good money to see that" Jaemin mumbles
"You'll bet on me right?" Haechan asks Renjun
"That's stupid, here why don't we make a bet. I bet you can't keep your mouth shut for the rest of the night" Renjun proposes, he knows just how competitive Haechan can get.
"If I win?"
"I'll be your personal slave for a week"
"Make it a month" Haechan negotiates, waiting for Renjun to say yes.
"Deal" Renjun says, knowing his friend would last 5 minutes. "If I win, you'll be my personal errand boy" Haechan rolls his eyes, acting like he's zipping his lips and throwing the key away.
"Goodluck with that" Jaemin laughs, waiting to see who wins. He knows Renjun would, Renjun is never wrong.
"Who needs another drink?" Jaemin asks, ready to stand up but Haechan stops him. "Oh, you haven't lost yet but since you're offering. I'll get 1 more beer" Jaemin tells him
"Same here, make that 2 more"
Haechan salutes to his friends before walking away, keeping his lips shut tight. If there's something Haechan loved more than his voice, it would be proving Renjun wrong.
He grabs four more beer cans from the cooler, trying to hold all in his hands. When he turns around he accidentally bumps against someone or something, losing his grip on some of the cans.
"Oh shit, sorry. Wait I'll get that"
Before Haechan could say anything, the other person was already leaning down to get it.
"Here, sorry again" standing straight back up you hand Haechan the cans, only to see him just looking at you
"Uh you okay?" you ask, he just nods
"Okay, well I'm gonna go now. Sorry again" you mumble then excused yourself, walking towards the other room. Haechan wanted to punch himself, he wanted to say something he should've said something.
He don't even know you and yet he was ready to lose the stupid bet with Renjun even if it meant he'll be a personal slave.
"Dude, I just bumped in with the prettiest girl I swear I need to find her. God that was stupid, I looked stupid I just stood there. I didn't even ask for her name. What the fuck was wrong with me, now I'll never find her again. What if I never find her again?"
Renjun and Jaemin just share a confused look while Haechan rambles on
"What the fuck are you going on about?"
"The mystery girl! My mystery girl! I let her get away" Haechan groans, slumping down on his previous seat sulking like a little child who didn't get to buy his favorite candy.
"You know you just spoke right?" Jaemin asks
"Fuck that, I already missed my chance" Haechan grumbles
"I'm sure you'll find her again. Now open that beer for me" Renjun says,
"Why don't you open it?" Haechan sneers at his friend
"Well I won right, why would I do things I'm fully capable of doing when I have you?" Renjun teases Haechan, taking one of the cans to open it only for the can to burst out
"Oh fucks sake" Haechan shouts while his two friends doubles over with laughter, tonight is definitely not his night.
Ever since that night, Haechan has been on the look out for his mystery girl. Hoping fate is on his side and he'd bump into you again but it's been two weeks and not a single sign of you.
"Dude, I'm dying here. Can't you help a friend out?" Haechan exaggeratedly says as he takes the seat beside Jaemin
"And what can I help you with? Finding your mystery girl?"
"You know her?"
"No"
"You should be nicer to me, I literally woke up for this. I don't see Renjun doing this for you" Haechan glares at Jaemin
"Can you just order coffee, please. We need to finish this report by 11" Jaemin brushes him off, too busy typing away on his laptop
He copies Jaemin's order mockingly as he makes his way to the counter. Busy scrolling on his phone, he didn't pay that much attention around him.
When he got to the counter, he orders for him and Jaemin only to find that he forgot his card. Again.
"Shit I don't have my card, can you wait a moment my friend's over there"
"Sorry can't hold orders" the cashier says
"I literally go here everyday, he's right there. I don't have cash on me"
"I got it, here's a 50" someone says from behind him, sliding the money on the counter which the cashier takes with a smile
"Thanks, here's your change" the cashier says, handing the change to you. Only then Haechan looks back to see you.
"It's you" he mumbles
At first you weren't sure he was talking to you, so you didn't notice. But then you feel someone's gaze on you, he seemed familiar but you can't quite place where you met him before.
"Have we met before?" you ask him
"yes, yea I mean yes at the party. You helped me with the beer"
"Oh, that was you. Hi, guess I saved you again" you joke
"Yea, thanks I owe you. Twice. I'll pay you back though, give me a moment" he leaves while you order
"Hey, give me money" Haechan tells Jaemin, his friend shoots him a confused look "Quick! I'll pay you back, okay thanks" he takes the money quickly before jogging back to where you were waiting for your order
"Here you go, and next time I'll buy you coffee. For you know the first time you saved me" he smiles at you, hoping it would work
"Don't mention it" you answered with a smile. Someone calls from the counter, guessing it was yours because you went to take it. Remembering your name this time.
"Wait uhm can I have your number?" he's never been nervous to ask someone their number but right now he can feel his palms get a bit sweaty.
"Haechan right?" he nods at your question
"I have a feeling we'll see each other again, I'll give it to you then" you smile then walk away.
"Why not now? What if we don't see each other for a long time?"
"Then you'll have something to look forward to, see you around Haechan"
Leaving Haechan to watch after you mesmerized.
He already knows he'd wait all day or week or no matter how long just to meet you again. It's like you got him under some spell.
Haechan walks back to their table, holding his and Jaemin's coffee.
"Why are you smiling like that? You're scaring me"
"You can't ruin my day. This is like the best day ever. Give me the handouts I'll do it" he tells Jaemin, taking the laptop from him and getting to work.
"Why why why did you drag me here?" Haechan grumbles as Renjun practically drags him by his sleeves to the art wing.
"Because I need to talk to Chenle about something and you're driving me home. But knowing you, you'd probably forget and leave me, so I'm taking you with me"
Renjun lets go of his sleeve to get his phone, "Yah Zhong Chenle, I'm here. What do you mean? Okay and? Fine what's her name?"
Haechan wasn't listening to the conversation, making himself busy by reading some random flyers on the wall when suddenly he hears another voice speak
"Hi, sorry are you Renjun?"
Haechan knows that voice, immediately he turns his head and there you were speaking to his friend
"Y/N?" Renjun asks, "It's you" Haechan mumbles
"Yea, here's Chenle's stuff. He left earlier and forgot about it. Good thing I was still here" you explain with a smile, both you and Renjun still oblivious to the boy smiling stupidly on the sidelines.
When you sensed someone looking at you, you looked over to the side to see Haechan already looking at you
"Hi, you're Haechan right?"
You remember him. You actually remember his name and you really did meet again. Haechan internally panics.
"You two know each other?" Renjun asks, you just nod your head. "Yea, I kinda saved him twice" you joke
Renjun looked back to his friend before looking at you again, "He's being weird, I think it's time to go. Thanks again" Renjun waves bye at you.
You say goodbye and watch him walk away, expecting Haechan to follow but he stayed behind
"You okay?" you ask
"You said you'd give your number when we meet again" he blinks at you, "I did?" you chuckled. You do recall telling him that, not expecting him to remember it though.
"Yea"
The two of you stared at each other, he was just about to say something again when suddenly you smile at him and it's like the wind got knocked out of his lungs.
He takes his phone out only to see it dead, he looks up at you like a kicked puppy. You can't help but giggle. You take a pen from your back pocket then you took his hand. Writing on the back of his palm as gently as you could, "There. Call me if you need saving again" you joke, "I guess I'll see around" you add before saying bye and walked back inside the room.
"Yah Lee Haechan! What are you doing?" Renjun shouts at his friend, breaking him from his stupor
"That was her! Renjun that was her!" He runs excitedly towards his friend, looking at your number written at the back of his hand
"Who? What the hell are you talking about?"
"That's the girl I've been talking about. This is fate, we met a few times now. And look she gave me her number"
Renjun has known Haechan for a long time, he has seen his friend in different situations but never once has he seen Haechan act like this. Be this excited, not even when he beats Jaemin when they play games. Or that time he won over Renjun when they played monopoly.
"Oh god, if this is how you act when you're in love please spare me"
The next time he sees you is during the town fair. Some of the fraternities and clubs from university participated in the booths so a lot of students were roaming around.
He has sent you a few texts since the last time he saw you and he could never get past the introductory stage. It's obvious he's attracted to you, but to him that's not enough. Being attracted to someone can just mean you like them physically, he wants to know you. What you like, what you don't like. How you drink your coffee in the morning, what your favorite song is and all of that.
It's kind of silly to be this invested over a girl he met only a few times but there's just something about you that enchants him.
And just like that, it's like the universe heard his thoughts. There you were standing amongst the crowd, like that slowmo moment in movies when everyone else disappears and all he can focus on is you. Before he can stop himself, he's already walking towards you.
"Hey" someone said from behind you, making you turn around.
"Oh hi, I haven't seen you around campus and we finally meet here" you smile at him and Haechan swore your smile is brighter than all the lights in this carvinal fair combined.
"Yea, been busy. Are you alone or are you with your friends?" he notices
"Just me, I asked Chenle to come but he said he has basketball training. He's my blockmate and friend"
He wanted to be your friend to, he wanted to be more than that. He wanted to be just someone to you. He thoughts.
"Have you gone on any of the rides?" he asks, you shook your head
"Want to come with? I can join you" he offers
"You sure, didn't you come with your friends?" you ask back
"Nah, I mean I did but I already lost them so I guess I'm coming with you. If that's okay"
"Sure, kinda afraid of that ferris wheel though" you say, pointing at the tallest ride.
"Noted, we won't even come near it. How about we just walk around and check out the booths?"
That's how you spend the next few hours, playing games, trying out the food and just having unexpected fun with this guy.
When the sun was just about to set, you stood by the barriers to watch it. Loving how the colors of the sky change, you admire it like it's the first time you're seeing this happen.
While your attention was on the sunset, the boy beside you was very captivated by you. Haechan couldn't tear his eyes off you. He pulls his phone out to capture the moment,
"What was that?"
"Mhm?"
"Did you just take a picture of me?" you ask him
"Yea" Haechan answers carefully, scared that he might have overstepped your boundaries. "Sorry, I should've asked first but you looked pretty. I mean the moment looked pretty so I uh yea" rubbing the back of his neck as he tries or more like fail to explain
Instead of getting mad at him, you just laugh. Smiling at the boy beside you. "That's a fine, the sunset is beatiful" you mumble
"I meant you" he said, "Huh, that's a first"
"Nobody has ever taken a picture of you?"
You shake your head before speaking "Being called pretty, even though you took it back a second after saying it" you tease him
Looking straight ahead again, watching the sun disappear from the horizon. From your periphery you can tell he was still looking at you, "I didn't it say so I can fish out more compliments from you, I just thought about it so I said it. I'm being cynical again, don't mind me"
"You're beautiful, you know? And I'm saying that because that's what I can only think of right now" he tells you, his eyes never leaving the side of your face. He was committing every detail to his memory, this moment can be one of new core memories.
"Can I see the picture you took?" you ask, changing the subject
"I'll post it, you can check it there. Don't worry, you look cute there" he says as he put his camera away
"Hey Hyuck, thank you for today. I was getting stressed with school, this was like a breath of fresh air" you tell him, resting your cheek against your arm.
He follows your actions, eyes staying on yours
"Anytime, you can call me anytime. It's always good to watch the sunset after a long day, reminds us that even the long hard days end"
"Yea, I like the sunset"
"I can be your sunset, when you have a tough day just call me. I'll try to make it better" he tells you, voice sounding like your favorite tune.
"Okay" you mumble, a few moment passes just looking at his features being kissed by the last light of the day before it disappears.
Suddenly, you think endings aren't that bad after all. If this is how all your days end, if he's there to promise another tomorrow to you then maybe that one movie line was right. Sometimes endings are the best part.
After that, you and Haechan started to grow closer together. When you're not texting, you're on a call with him. You sometimes spend your vacant period and study in the library together.
You also notice how attentive the guy is towards you. You're not naive, there's definitely something there but for now you don't say anything. You don't want to assume, because what if you're the only one who thinks that way.
So you just let things happen, let fate run its course.
Props to Haechan because he is a very consistent guy.
"Hey Y/N, your boyfriend's here" Chenle says when he entered the studio, earning a very confused look from you
"Huh? Who?"
"Dude with brown hair, friends with Renjun"
You try to piece his description together, only to think of one person
"Haechan's here?" you ask, putting your brush down
"Yea outside, hey you're still wearing your apron!" he shouts after you but you were already out of the room
"And she tells me she doesn't like him like that" he says to himself with a chuckle.
Meanwhile you walk towards the entrance and sure enough Haechan is standing there. "What are you doing here?" you ask, catching his attention. Immediately he smile at you, striding across the hall to stand directly infront of you.
"It's raining, you hate going home in this weather so I just kinda took a chance if you're still here. Good thing I bumped into on of your classmate" he says, referring to Chenle
"Didn't your class end early?" you ask him
"Yea, I went back to my dorm then it started to rain. So I came back"
"You came back? For me?"
"You hate the rain" he says as if it was the only explanation he got when in reality he really wanted to see you today. The both of you have been very busy so apart from the few messages, you haven't gotten the chance to hang out. Reality is, Haechan couldn't wait another day to see you again.
"Did you bring an umbrella?" he asks you when you didn't speak, shaking your head to answer him
He chuckles before showing you the bright yellow umbrella he brought, "Good thing I came then"
"You didn't have to"
"I wanted to, we haven't hung out in a while. You probably buried yourself again with work, you need to rest" you were just about to say no but he takes your paint covered hand
"I can't wait to see your next masterpieces, I'm sure it's all precious to you and you want to finish it. But you're precious to me too, so I need to take care of you" he says, looking down at your hand in his. Smiling at how perfectly it fits right there.
You can ask a thousand question and he will always come back to you with an answer. Not once since you met him did he ever make you feel any sort of doubt.
"I'll just go grab my stuff" you tell him, giving his hand a squeeze before dropping it. Walking back to the studio to get your bag. Chenle was already gone, probably took the other way when he went. So you get your bag, took your apron off, turned off the lights before walking back to where Haechan was.
He spots you down the hall, taking your bag from you to sling it on his shoulder. "Ready to go?" he asks you
You nod, "Thank you, you saved my day once again"
"What did I tell you? I'll always be here to make your tough days better" he smile at you before throwing one arm around you to pull you closer, he opens the umbrella with his other hand making sure it covers you.
You did hate going anywhere in this weather. If you're home right now, you wouldn't mind it that much. Being out and about when it's raining stresses you out. You always feel anxious about commuting or driving or going anywhere when the weather is bad.
But right now while sharing this yellow umbrella with the boy you potentially like, you don't hate it as much so long as he's there to hold you and walk with you under the rain shower.
"It's your birthday soon, got any plans?" Haechan looks over at you, waiting and hoping for a favorable answer. One that would go well with his plans.
You shake your head, you weren't even aware "Didn't even know it's August already"
You didn't like making a big deal out if it, to you it's another normal day.
"So you're not going out?"
"Probably not, it's a weekday so I might have a class. I'll just go to the studio if I don't have any class that day. Why?"
"If you're not busy, do you want to have dinner? with me? do you want to go get dinner on your birthday with me?" he asks you, feeling nervous for no reason. He practiced this in his head many times but he can't say it straight now that he's saying it to you.
You giggle at his question, "Dinner? Sure"
"Really?"
"Yea, I don't have anything planned" you shrug
"Okay, cool. Uh how does 6pm sound? You can come by at my place" he tells you, he can feel the heat rushing to his cheeks. Hoping you don't notice it, you do.
"Okay"
Fast forward a couple of days later, it's your birthday. When you woke up you had one message, sent exactly at 12:01 am from one Lee Haechan.
"Happy birthday, I wanted to be the first one"
That alone was enough to make you smile for the day. You prepared for the day, did some school works until it was time to go over at Haechan's place.
Ringing his doorbell once, you waited for him. You hear a click then the door opens, Haechan welcomes you with a smile.
"Hey! You're here, happy birthday" he greets you, letting you in before closing the door behind you. You walk inside his place to see the table set up, looking back at him
"You cooked for me?" you ask him, trying to fight the smile making it's way on your lips but you fail
"Yea, it's your special day and I know you'd like this ten times better than going out. Plus I got you cake, wait did you want to go out?" he asks, worried he just ruined the night. It's your birthday, the first one you'll celebrate together so he wanted to make sure it was special.
You didn't say anything at first then you jogged to where he was standing, throwing your arms around his shoulders to engulf him with a hug
"I love it, thank you thank you" you tell him, Haechan can hear the smile in your voice and just like that his worries were washed away. He puts his arms around your waist to lift you up, hugging you tighter. He kisses your temple, "Happy birthday, I'm glad I got to meet you in this lifetime"
You pull away from where your head was buried to look at him in the eyes, "Me too, I hope all versions of me meet their version of you"
He smiles at you, setting you back down on your feet again.
"Let's enjoy this dinner then, how about a movie after?"
"Sounds like a lovely night" you beam at him
"Oh I got you something, it's not big don't worry. Just something you might need, I thought of you when I saw it"
You take the bag from him, opening it excitedly to see what's inside. A yellow thing catching your eye, when you take it out you see it's a big cute scrunchie. You did mention you needed a new one.
"It's cute thank you, I need one when I do work at the studio. This is perfect. Thank you, Haechan. Really this whole night is perfect. I don't like celebrating this day but maybe it isn't too bad when I get to celebrate it like this"
"Then I can say mission accomplished, if you're happy then that's all that matters. It's your day today, I wanted to celebrate this day with you"
You smile at him, hugging him again. Immediately he hugs you back, resting his cheek on your head he hears you mumble
"Thank you"
It's past 10pm, yet again you were too busy finishing your work to even check the time. You remember telling Haechan you'll text him when you get home but you're still at the studio.
"You're still here?" someone asks, making you look behind you. Chenle standing by the doorway, "I thought I was the last one here" he adds
"Just need to finish this piece, I'm just cleaning up actually"
"Surprised to see you here, it's raining cats and dogs outside" just then you here the rumble of thunder outside
"Headphones" you tell him, "Well you better go now, traffic is bad. There was an accident in town. A few cars piled up" He tells you
"Oh that sounds bad, was anyone harmed?"
"Not sure, Jisung just texted me on his way home to find another route since it was still there when he passed by. I think it's near your place too"
"I should go now then, maybe I'll take a cab" you say, picking your bag from the floor and following Chenle down the hall
"Oh wait Haechan was asking for you, I thought you went home earlier so I said you're not here anymore" Chenle recalls seeing Haechan outside the building maybe an hour ago
"What do you mean Haechan was here?" already your mind was racing, a hundred bad scenarios playing
"He went out to find you, I don't know where he is- HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING IT'S POURING OUTSIDE!" Chenle shouts after you but you were already out of the building.
You weren't sure where you were running off to, but when you heard there was an accident near your place you got this bad feeling in your chest.
"Y/N? What are you doing there?" Renjun asks, rolling down the window the car, you spot Jaemin from the driver's side. They also had a late night at campus, not expecting to see you running outside at this hour of the night when Haechan left to pick you up earlier.
"Haechan? Where's Haechan? I need to see him" you utter, the rain beating down on you. The two guys share a worried look, Jaemin already searching for an umbrella inside the car while Renjun throws his jacket over him before running over to you to get inside the car
"Haechan" you say
"We don't know where he is, have you tried calling him?" Renjun asks, you nodded your head. You did try but he wasn't answering, now you don't even know where your phone is
"I'll call him" Jaemin says, taking his phone to quickly dial his friend's number. After a few tries still no answer
"Can you drive near my place, I heard something happened. What if-"
"Hey don't freak out, I'm sure he just forgot to charge his phone again" Renjun comforts you as Jaemin drives away.
Due to the heavy rain and accident, the traffic was bad. You couldn't wait another minute so for the second time tonight you ran through the rain
"Yah Y/N, where are you going?!" Renjun shouts as he watch you run through traffic
"I really hope Haechan's okay" he mumbles, looking over Jaemin who is calling Haechan again hoping the other would pick up.
Running as fast as you could, you finally reached the block before your apartment where the crash happened. You look around the busy street, police were still there but no sign of any medical personnel.
You look left and right, turning your head over and over again trying to see a familiar face.
Haechan was getting worried, it's late and raining hard. He should've charged his phone but he left his charger at home, now it's dead and useless. Wondering where you are at the moment, then he looks outside again to check if they're letting cars through.
Something catches his eye, someone running by. It was as quick as a second but he knows that yellow scrunchie, he can tell from a mile away.
Without a doubt, he gets out of the car to chase after the person. There he sees you standing in the middle of traffic looking terrified. Then he was screaming your name, he needed you to see him, he needed to be close to you this instant to ask you what's wrong.
You don't know if you were dreaming but you definitely heard him, looking around again you see someone standing a few cars back. You hear it again.
Then you were running. Leaping straight into his awaiting arms, throwing your own around him trapping him there like you were afraid he was going to float away.
"Hey, you okay? What were you doing running through the rain? You're gonna sick" Haechan tells you but you can't hear all his word, the sound of your own beating heart was louder.
"You're okay" you keep on repeating, when he felt you calm down a bit he broke away from your embrace but still kept you in his arms,
"What happened?"
It's like a switch has been flipped because the next second you were hitting him, "Ouch! what I do?!" Haechan asks
"You weren't answering your phone! I thought something bad happened to you! I couldn't find you, I thought-" then you were crying again, hoping he can't tell since it's still raining. Your tears mixing with the raindrops but Haechan knows.
Instead he just takes your face in his hands, cradling it ever so gently to comfort you.
"I'm okay, I'm right here see. I'm sorry, I'll call next time"
"You scared me" you mumbled
"Sorry" he tells you with a small smile, those three words were more than enough confirmation for him. He knows just how much you hate thunderstorms, your love and hate relationship with rain. And yet here you are, running through the worst weather because you were looking for him.
He hugs you again, "I'm here" he tells you
"Let's get you out of this rain, we're both gonna get sick" he says as he guides you back to his car. Once the two of you settle inside, Haechan turns the heat on and looks for something else to keep you from freezing.
"Wait, Renjun and Jaemin was right behind me. I need to text time but I don't know where my phone is" you say
"Well my phone is dead, I'll text them when we get back"
He was just about to say something else when someone knocks on his window, it was Renjun. "Did you see Y/N? She dashed away- Oh you're there. Well then, make sure you take a warm shower when you get home. Also next time, charge your phone please" he tells Haechan before waving goodbye to you.
Haechan lets out a chuckle before rolling his windows up, looking over at you again.
"You okay? Do you need anything?"
You shook your head, rubbing your hands together to generate some warmth. Now that you've finally calmed down, you can definitely feel the cold. Haechan ofcourse notices this, taking your hands in between his before putting it against his lips. Blowing gently on it to keep you warm.
"Next time, I promise I'll text you when I go out this late or when I leave somewhere so you don't go out running in the rain. You could've gotten hurt or worse"
"I don't know what I was thinking, I wasn't even thinking. You weren't answering your phone and then I heard something happened here, my mind freaked out" you tell him, watching him continue his actions of rubbing the back of your hands and blowing on them
"You were really worried about me?"
You chuckled, "I forgot I was scared of thunder and rain. I don't think I would even mind if a lightning struck right infront of me" you tell him. And it was the truth. Your fears were outweighed by your worry for him. It didn't matter to you, all you needed was to see him.
"I'm glad you're okay" you whisper, Haechan smiles at you putting down your hands. He then cradles your face again, leaning over the console to get closer to you. Tilting your head down a bit to kiss you on the forehead.
When the two of you arrived to his dorm, he immediately got towels to help you dry off. He showed you the bathroom to change, giving his extra clothes.
While waiting for you, he changes also then goes back to the kitchen to prepare hot chocolate for the two of you.
"Thanks for lending me your clothes" you say from behind him, when he turns around it's like his heart leaped out of his chest.
It's not that big of a deal, but seeing you in his clothes does something to him. He's pretty sure he's blushing right now.
"Yea sure, uh I'm making hot choco" he stutters, if you noticed you don't comment on it and he silently thanks you for it.
The two of you sit on his couch, waiting for the rain to stop while sipping on your hot choco.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure" you answer
"Why don't you like the rain?"
"Something happened, I got in a minor accident. I was driving home from school too, it was raining hard I couldn't even see the road. The car swerved off the road, thankfully I wasn't badly injured but it was very scary. I hated going out when it's raining ever since" you explain while Haechan listens attentively
"I'm glad you're okay" he mumbles
You chuckle, putting the mug down before pulling your legs up to hug them. "I was in high school, ever since I couldn't drive at night or when it's raining"
The two of you talked about everything, he wanted to know all about you and here you are letting him. You didn't even notice how the time passed.
"Hey the rain stopped" Haechan suddenly says
"Oh yea, I guess I should go. Oh wow is that the time" you see it on the wall clock since your phone is still nowhere to be found, probably left it in Jaemin's car earlier during your mini freak out.
"I can drive you home" Haechan offers
"It's late, I can take a cab or walk"
"Absolutely not, I'm driving you home. Come on" he pulls you up, holding you by the arm.
"Hey Haechan"
He stops, looking back at you. "Yea?"
"I'm glad you're okay" you tell him
He smiles at you, this time he pulls you to him. Hugging you.
It was unexpected. For a second he thought he did the wrong thing, but then he felt your arms go around him holding him tighter.
He kisses the top of your head, a silent assurance. He won't dare to say anything, soaking the moment.
When the two of you broke apart, he just smile at you before speaking again.
"Let's drive you home"
That was like the calm before the storm.
Haechan don't get it, was it something he said? Something he did?
It's been days and you're avoiding him. He sent numerous calls and texts. When he asked Chenle if you were coming you class, he did say you attended regularly.
What he didn't know was you were having a war with yourself.
You like Haechan. You like him so so much it scares you.
It scares you because what if this is all temporary. What if he's only doing it to be kind to you. What if he gets tired of you like all the boys you've liked before.
That's why for the past few days you couldn't face him. You don't know what to say to him, you don't understand your own feelings how can you even explain all of that to him.
Chenle knows all about your dilemma, after all he is one of your closest friend. Which is also why he's the first person Haechan looked for when he couldn't contact you,
"Just give her time, plus it's you. Give her a few days and she's talk to you again"
"What do you mean it's me?" he asks, confused
Chenle chuckles before answering, "I'm not about to pour out her feelings for her. You need to talk to her about that. All I know is ever since she met you, she's been happier" then he points at the latest piece you were making
"See that? She's been working on it for a while now, it's not an assignment. She said it just reminded her of one of her favorite days"
It was a painting of a sunset, looking so similar as the one the two of you saw before.
You weren't even there but that painting said a thousand words and confirmed everything to Haechan. All his doubts going away. He knew this was your way of talking to him.
This is how you confess to him. In your own way.
Haechan smiles as he stares at it.
He thinks he gave you enough time.
Meanwhile you were at home, half sulking half overthinking. This is the longest you went without talking to Haechan. It wasn't until you started to avoid him you realized just how big his presence is in your day to day life.
Hearing a knock on your door, you were hoping it was the boy you've been thinking about for days. But no.
The last person you expected to see on your doorstep: your ex-boyfriend, Lee Jeno.
"What are you doing here?"
"Can I come in?"
"Why?" your face void of any emotion.
It's been a while since you last saw him or even talked to him, he still looked the same but not really. Like this wasn't the version of Jeno you once knew and loved.
"I just want to talk"
It took you a few seconds before you open the door, letting him in your apartment.
"I don't have anything to say to you, so make it quick" you tell him
"Well first, I'm sorry for that messy break up. You deserved more"
You cut him off, "I did, I do. I deserve more that being broken up over text message with a measly reason of you being tired. What exactly did you get tired of? Do tell, since you're already here"
"I felt like I was never going to be on the same page as you, you had everything planned out. You're so sure of yourself while I don't even know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I was afraid you're going to meet someone else out there and realize he's better than me"
"I told you I didn't care, that night I said I was ready to wait whatever it is you need to accomplish first. I was okay with learning everything with you. You're the one who closed that door. You're the one who walked away, you don't get to walk back and ask if we could do it again"
He looks at you with apologetic eyes. Once upon a time that would've made you crumble and say yes to whatever he bids. But just as you realize this isn't the Jeno from before, you're also not the person you used to be.
"If you told me that a year ago, I would've come running back to you. For days, weeks, months all I thought about was where did I go wrong. Many times I had to stop myself from saying I missed you until I realized I deserved more than that. It wasn't the wrong love at the wrong time, there's no such thing as that. I loved you at the right time, it was short but I was happy. But that was a memory ago, Jeno"
"So I really am too late" he shows a sad smile
"One day when you meet another girl and you tell her about your plans in the future, about making more memories, I hope that it's true. I hope you find her again" you smile at him.
Neither of you said much after that, he said his goodbye knowing that this time it really might be the last one. This time he knows you really finally let go. There was no one waiting for him.
When he walked out your door, you didn't feel sad in the way you just got your heart broken. You feel sad for the girl who cried so many nights, who asked if she was ever worth to love.
You cried for that version of you who was so ready to love and yet fate forbade her to.
Before it got too much, you decided to take a walk to clear your mind.
Your first thought was to call Haechan until you stopped yourself. It's unfair to unload this baggage on him. He doesn't deserve it. Even though he told you over and over again you can lean on you him you can never bring yourself to fully do so.
What you didn't know was Haechan already knew what was happening. A few days ago, Jeno approached him and asked him what was going between the two of you. It was weird since he wasn't that close with the guy.
It wasn't until Jaemin told him that you and Jeno used to date, it's like the puzzle pieces fell into place. You never directly told Haechan about him but he's sure Jeno is the reason and the guy behind all your stories.
He wanted to pay you a visit when he saw Jeno walking out of your building, getting in his car and driving away. Meanwhile Haechan stayed inside his car. Thinking and waiting for the moment until he saw you walking out with nothing in hand.
He already knew what was happening.
So many things running through his head at the moment. How he's so mad at Jeno for making you go through this again, how worried he is about you and how he just wanted to hug you while telling you everything was going to be okay.
But above all he was hoping you don't retreat back to your old self, he doesn't want you to feel like you need to suffer alone and let your emotions eat you from within.
Of course he can't let you walk alone this late at night, he quickly got out of his car. Following a few steps behind you to make sure you're safe.
He watch you enter the park and sit on one of the benches. For a while he just lets you be. He knows you needed a moment for yourself. You needed the quiet to clear your mind.
A minute turned into five, then turned into ten until thirty minutes have passed when he finally decided to approach you.
"I knew I'd find you here"
You don't move from where you were standing, still looking up the skies counting all the stars over and over again.
"You know if you want to get away, you can just ask me. I'll drive you anywhere, you had my worried" Haechan continues, still you didn't say a word to him
"I can go if you want, I just need to know you're okay" he adds
"Why are you here?" you finally speak, asking him
"I can't let you walk this late at night alone, I was looking for you all day too"
"Well you found me" you tell him
Haechan feels frustrated, he's not even mad anymore when you won't any of his calls or texts. Or when you suddenly disappeared without a word.
He had his fair share of arguements, his friends know he'll never back down until he can prove himself right. But with you he can't seem to fight back. And right now it feels like he's about to go into battle.
"You need to tell me how you feel, I'm trying to understand you but you won't let me. How long will you keep on running away from me?"
"Why are you tired? You think I'm hard to get to?" you ask, this time looking over at him.
He looks back at you, checking if you're okay. Apart from the obvious tiredness, he's glad to see you unharmed. Atleast that's one less thing he was to worry about.
You wait for him to say something, the two of you just looking at each other. Before he speaks, he shrugs his jacket off before throwing it over your shoulder. You know he's upset with you but he's still taking care of you.
He takes a deep breath before speaking, “Was that what all the boys before me said? that you’re hard to get? because they got you all wrong. You’re not hard to get, you’re easier to read than my favorite music sheet. I can tell just want you want to say before you say anything”
“Oh so now you’re an expert on me?” you stop him but he was quick to answer back, not yet ready to back down.
“Is that so bad? Is it such a bad thing to want to know you? I am trying to understand and know you. That says more than any of them. You’re not hard to get, you’re hard to earn and that's a thousand times better. You like ketchup beside your fries not on them, you hate summer because of the heat, you like your coffee cold even in the morning. You eat Nutella with a spoon but you don't like it on bread. If me talking my tongue off, following you until the soles of my shoes crumble, run until we run out of road I will not stop trying to earn you because that’s what you deserve. You deserve a man who will go the lengths and beyond for you. You’re not a girl anyone can get, you’re a girl only the worthy can earn”
Nobody has ever fought this hard for you, it's always you fighting for the person. For so long you felt like a lost cause, a mere stop along the way until Haechan came and made you feel like this was a trip worth going to. Like he didn't mind what the destination would be, all he wants is to be on this journey with you.
"And how long will you think that?" you whisper
Looking at you right now, Haechan can tell all fight just left you. And not in a bad way. Right now you're waving the white flag, surrendering your walls and maybe finally letting him in. So he takes this chance and leaped to give you what you needed to hear,
"Until you believe me, and even after that. Until all the flowers wither away, and they bloom again. I'll tell you over and over again until the day that when you think even for a second if you're worthy to love, you won't hear their voices but mine. You'll remember my words, me saying over and over again that you're worth to love, my love" he breaths out, with each word the distance between the two of you minimizing until the ends of his shoes touches yours.
"I'll tell you again and again, when you forget I'll look right into your eyes and tell you you're perfect enough" he whispers, resting his forehead against yours.
"Do I deserve this? Do I deserve you-" "Yes, yes you do"
Then he was kissing you, wiping every doubt every question away. Remembering how to fall in love, that warm feeling you only feel whenever he's around. When he smiles at you, when he greets you goodmorning and goodnight, when he holds your hand.
He kisses you like he's sealing a promise, right in this moment he didn't need anything else. It was perfect, nothing like he ever imagined because this is so much better.
When the two of you broke apart, he's smiling ear to ear
"I love you"
Like the first time you met, he just looks at you. This time with love in his eyes. Looking at you like you're the one who painted his skies, like you're the sun of his universe, like you're more than enough.

"Hey can you pass me the salt?" Jaehyun said, holding his hand out expecting you to hand him the salt. A few seconds passed, surely it wouldn't be hard to hand him the salt since it's just right beside you.
Wondering what was taking you so long, he looks over at you only to see you already looking at him with this goofy grin on your face.
Instantly he mirrors your smile, internally gushing how cute you looked. If only there was an award for being the most smitten husband, Jaehyun's sure he'd have that award in the bag.
"What's with that look?" he asks you, a smirk on his lips. Loving how smitten you looked, nothing but love in your eyes. Love he knows is only for him and him only.
"Nothing, you just look hot right now" you tell him, getting the salt from the spice rack before passing it over to him. Pursing your lips as if to stop yourself from spilling the secret to him too early.
"I'm just cooking here peacefully and you're over there thirsting over me" he tells you, playfully pinching you on the side earning a yelp from you. When he stopped with his attacks, you stand on your tiptoe, hugging him sideways.
Jaehyun looks over you, rubbing his nose against yours before you close the gap between your lips. Loving the flavor of his chapstick, your favorite one. Jaehyun being the good husband, remembering that time he kissed you and you mentioned to him how you liked that flavor of chapstick so of course Jaehyun stocked up on that specific one.
You smile against his lips, kissing him for a few more seconds before stepping away.
"I say it's a good bargain, I'll go set up the table" you give him one more smooch before walking away. Jaehyun lets out a laugh, loving every domestic second of this life he shares with you. It's been a few years since the small intimate wedding, the two of you settled well.
You love your job and managing your now few shops, yes you have since then expanded your business. Some people would think marrying Jung Jaehyun made that possible but really it was all you, and Jaehyun's so proud of you for accomplishing all of that. He would never claim the success you earned by yourself, he's glad to be standing beside you cheering you on while you make your dreams into reality.
The best part of your day though would probably coming home to him. He's a busy man, managing his family's business, taking trips overseas and the extra long meetings but even then Jaehyun never made you feel like you weren't top of his priority list. When you asked him if it's okay to finally have that big wedding Johnny has been bugging you about (yes, he never gave it a rest) Jaehyun all but proposed to you again.
"So, everything's set for the wedding right? We didn't forget anything?" Jaehyun ask, stepping out of the bathroom after his shower to find you looking through the wedding planner notebook
"Nope, everything's all set. All you have to do is show up and say I do" you playfully answered, beckoning for him to come to you.
Like you had control over his body, Jaehyun steps towards you. Leaning down to capture your lips against his. He feels your arm go around his shoulder, pulling him down on the bed along with you. Careful not to crush you under him, he continues on kissing you like it was his only purposes in life.
When the two of you broke apart you had this smile on your face, "I have a secret to tell you" you whisper even though it's just the two of you
"Do tell, Mrs. Jung"
"Promise first it'll be our little secret for now" you say, holding out your pinkie for him to take. Jaehyun chuckles before linking his pinkie with yours. Kissing you on the nose, eliciting a giggle from you.
"I'm pregnant"
It felt like time stopped when he heard you say those words. You wait for him to say something, afraid he was mad because of the news you just told him but then he was off you, tugging you along with him.
"Say that again" he asks you, holding you an arms length away
"I'm pregnant" you mumble, about to burst out in tears then suddenly but gently he engulfs you in a hug. Kissing every surface of your skin he comes in contact with.
Jaehyun is over the moon.
He's going to be a dad, you're going to a mom. The you of you are going to be parents.
"Are you sure? How do you feel? Are you and the baby okay?" he asks
You laugh at his reaction, hugging him again. "Yes, I'm sure. I took like 20 tests. They're all in the guest bathroom cabinet. I feel okay now, but remember when I got sick last last week and I thought it was just a bad flu well turns out it wasn't. It's actually your kid causing it" you joke
"We're going to have a kid?"
You can't help but melt over your husband's words. He looks so excited and happy it's making you even more excited for this next chapter of your lives.
"Yes" you tell him and Jaehyun swears he just fell in love with you even more.
After that, Jaehyun demanded yes demanded cuddling time with you. So now the of you are in bed just talking about all random things to do in the future with your kid.
"Wait, so how long have you known?" he asks
"Two days, I was going to tell you before the wedding as a gift but I didn't want to freak you out too much so"
Jaehyun nuzzles his face on your neck as you explain to him how you found out. It still feels surreal you created another human being together, just thinking about you carrying his child gets him so excited for the future.
"Should we move?"
You haven't thought about that but now that he mentions it, it seems like a good idea. The penthouse has been your home since the two of you got married, since it was just the two of you the place has been more than enough.
"Should we? Is it a good time thought?" you ask back
"After the wedding we don't have anything to do, if it isn't too much trouble for you then I say why not. We'll need the extra space for the babies"
"You mean baby?"
"Babies, I'm preparing for the future" that earned him a playful punch.
"I haven't even given birth to this one and you're already planning the next one?"
"Baby, I'm willing to be the father of however many kids you want to carry. It will always be up to you, I'll just be here to hold your hand and give you everything you need"
"Even when I crave something so random and hard to find?" you ask him, Jaehyun looks back at you. Staring you directly in the eyes, communicating the words he isn't sure how to say. Just like just how much he's willing to do for you, if and when you ask him he'd go to the ends of the Earth if that's what you desire for him to do.
"Even then, love. Don't worry about wanting to anything. just say it and I'll get it for you okay?"
Kissing him again, there's really one thing you crave the most. Him.
