Nightime
Bedroom Place
Day before Honeymoon Travel

“Honey…
I will just go to the bathroom alright…
You may sleep ahead, I will just follow…”

Before going though, Hyeong Seop makes a quick subtle pass to the cupboard to get something.
Without his knowledge ever since Key knew about his illness, he has been on guard watching over his husband.
He knows how unbearably painful during attacks and he can sense it that it’s about to happen.

“You want company…?”

“No way…!
Just relax, I will join you on a minute…”

“Okay…”

Key hears the abrupt sudden shut of the door.
This is his worry.
He thinks…

**If only I can tell straight to his face that I know what’s going on with him.
His illness.
And the pitiful merciful act of consolation called, marriage…
And I am really so sorry…**

Key helpless takes a deep breath and mutters…

“How…?”

“AAAHhhh…
Itt hhhuurrttss…”

And comes the loud bang.
Key gets up from the bed and heads toward the bathroom.

“Baby...
Is everything alright…?”

No response from Hyeong Seop, so that, Key knocks on the door.

“Am alright, I accidentally shoved the perfume bottle…”

“Can I come in…?”

“NO…!
Key do not enter…
I said, I will be out in a minute…
Am sorry…
But, please...”

“Oh…
Okay…Baby…”

“(panting) Thank you…uuhhhmm…aaammmfff…”

Key could still hear the muffled painful sound Hyeong Seop makes, clenches both of his fists in frustration.
He can only comfort his partner if the latter opens up to him about his illness.
Hyeong Seop has been suffering in a lot pain physically, mentally and emotionally; and that, the only support he can provide as this moment is not to put his partner in a lot of stress and to pretend not knowing about his sickness.

As said, Hyeong Seop comes out of the bathroom in full bliss mode.
Key’s chest tightens just as the sight of his partner trying to appear strong despite of his illness.
He discreetly rubs his chest to ease the pain.

“Hi Honey…
Thank you for waiting…
Let’s sleep because tomorrow is the start of
our long period of our honeymoon…
(plunges at Key)…”

“Uugghh…
Careful Baby…”

“Oooppss…
Did I hurt you…?”

“Of course not, silly Hyeonggie…
Come lay on top of me…
So I can hold you better…”

Hyeong Seop on all fours crawls and position himself between Key’s legs then lower his body down and snuggles his head on the other’s shoulder.

“Thanks Hon…
I need this so bad…”

“You’re welcome…
(reaches for Hyeong Seop’s lips and plants a
deep wet kiss)
no art of seduction tonight…?”

“Gosh…
Am always hungry for that but…
hhhmm… not tonight…
Save our energy for tomorrow…”

“(chuckles) As you wish my love…”

Hyeong Seop giggles.

Then after, silence fills the entire room.
Key could hear Hyeong Seop’s heavy stressful breathing so he instantly caresses the other’s back.
Hyeong Seop giggles.

“Thank you Hon…”

Key remains silent and just continue comforting Hyeong Seop.
He also does not want to let Hyeong Seop think that he’s worried of him so that he is watchful of his behavior as well as his physical composure.

“Key…?”

“Hhhmm…”

“You know that I have loved you since we were kids…”

“Yes…
I remember how so brazen you were that in
front of your parents you told them when we
grow up, we’d get married…”

“(giggles) Those times…
Key…? Oh…
Did you inform Mommy Tiff about our marriage…?”

“Yes…Of course…
How about you?”

“Yeah…
I told Mom and Dad few minutes after you told
me about it…
They were very happy for us…”

“Sorry that I only wanted just the two of us for
the wedding as I wanted to have it as soon as
possible you know…
Marriage preparations normally takes a lot of time…”

“I don’t mind…
I like those unplanned events you know…
It is more exciting and wonderful…
How you did it, was really great…
I was really surprised…”

“Ha ha ha…Yeah…
Watching you that day was so gratifying and
fun at the same time…”
