Chapter 8
Memories engraved in the season's[CONTENTID1]
It has been almost a month since their marriage and nothing changes. Kyungsoo gets down right after JongIn leaves for work and walks to the kitchen, finding the usual breakfast JongIn makes for him. He calmly grabs his plate and stabs the bacon with his fork and bits into it, immediately pressing his lips to resist the urge to spit it out. If anything that he got to know about the alpha over the past month, he is a terrible cook. Don’t even ask the times he tried to cook him lunch. So much of a talent for being the brother of celebrity chef Junmyun. He sighs, calmly finishing his food and washing the dishes. He stops by the fridge to get some water and finds the usual note stuck to it
“Good morning Kyungsoo-shi! I left you breakfast but I couldn’t take care of lunch. Feel free to order something. I actually realized that I never gave you enough money to buy some groceries to cook yourself. It’s not good to have too much outside food so I am leaving some money by the counter to buy the stuff you need. I will give you a card once I settle your bank account and please Kyungsoo-shi, even though I say it every day don’t skip your meal. Hope you have a nice day.”
Kyungsoo looks at the counter to find a wallet filled with 100,000 ₩. He puts it back on the table and walks into the kitchen to check out the racks. He never cooked since the day he stepped into this house so he doesn’t even know what’s there but what he didn’t expect was for the racks to be almost empty. He looks into each and every rack and finds them as empty as the rest. Now that he realized even the fridge was empty, except for water bottles, juice cartons, and some rotten vegetables. He sighs; this definitely was a bachelor house. Kyungsoo takes a shower and dresses up to go out to find a mart. He gets out of the condo, locking it and getting into the lift when it stops by another floor and a lady gets in. She was wearing normal clothes but you can say that they are all branded stuff. She looks up smiling at Kyungsoo before she speaks.
“Oh, I haven’t seen you here before.”
“Yes, I recently moved in into the penthouse.”
“The penthouse?? Isn’t that where the owner of this building stays? That young master Mr. Kim, who is the CEO of Elyxion Group?? What relation do you have with him?”
“Hmm...I am …I am his husband.” He says with a small voice.
“What?? His husband!?? When did he even get married? I never heard of his wedding in the news.”
“It was a private wedding. We didn’t want to have too much attention.”
“Is that so? Oh, I can see your wedding band. It’s so beautiful. As expected from a CEO.”
The door finally opens with a ding on the first floor and that lady gets out. She turns back with a smile before saying.
“it’s nice meeting you Mr. Kim, I actually stay in 1608, just a floor below you. If you need anything don’t hesitate to come to our house. See you later then.”
Mr. Kim?? It felt odd, all of a sudden being called a Kim when he had been called a Park for almost a year. But it somehow felt right; he is a Kim now so he is supposed to be called that.
He finds a Mart nearby and buys all the groceries needed for the empty kitchen. He arranges the stuff into the racks and glances around the house to see how much of a mess that place is. Again, it’s definitely was a bachelor's house. He walks around, rearranging and cleaning the whole place. The chores made him existed by the end of the day, making him fall asleep on the couch.
JongIn comes back late at night to a dark house. He loosens his necktie as he slowly walks into the kitchen to grab some water when he finds a figure lying on the couch. Walking close he realizes it’s Kyungsoo and it surprises him since it’s been so long since he actually saw the omega. He slowly shakes him awake and Kyungsoo opens his eyes, slightly rubbing them.
“Oh, your home JongIn -shi.”
“Yeah, what are doing here??” He speaks in a low voice.
“Hmm, I actually cleaned the house, so I think I fell asleep here.” he breaths out in a mere whisper.
“Did you have your dinner??” He asks and Kyungsoo’s stomach growls, giving him an answer.
“Looks like you didn’t. Pleases sit at the dining table, I will try to make something.”
He goes into the kitchen and opens the racks to find them filled. So Kyungsoo did go out. He was about to pull out a pack of ramen when he remembers something that can bring his mood up.
JongIn walks out of Starbucks holding his coffee, pulling out his phone to call his best friend. He waits for the latter to pick up as he sits down on one of the benches.
“Hello”
“What a proper way of greeting.”
“Oh, it’s you. I didn’t see the name. Anyway, how did the meeting go?? Don’t tell me you screwed it up because it was boring.”
“Dude, I know I find those old people blabbering around really boring but I would really appreciate it if you have a tiny bit of faith in me, thank you very much.”
“Ok fine, I trust you. So what are you doing now, your flight is tomorrow morning right??”
“Yep, I am enjoying the view in Macau right now.”
“Why don’t you go back to the hotel and take some rest JongIn -ah.”
“Well I was about to go back to the hotel, but not for taking rest, instead change into a more appropriate outfit for the night and go..”
“Banging.”
“Nooo, god, Clubbing!! Well, that as well if I find a nice .”
“JongIn, Ser..”
“Oh my God Chanyeol, STOP, I say no more to your speeches. I am not like you, the responsible husband who goes back home early.”
“JongIn”
“Aren’t I right?? I am sure you are already home by now.”
“No, I am in a convenience store right now.”
“What are you doing there?”
“Actually, I am with Kyungsoo, you see, whenever he is a bit down and moody, I just have to take him out to a convenience store and buy a cup of ramen and chat about my day. Like magic, he gets back to normal.”
“Maybe I wasn’t totally right but you are those boring husbands.”
“JONGIN”
JongIn looks back and immediately locks eyes with Kyungsoo as he softly speaks
“Shall we….. go to the convenience store?”
