CL woke up the next morning with a big smile on her face. What happened last night was like a dream. Everything was just so surreal. She felt, surprisingly, refreshed – almost like she was a new person. Her heart skipped a beat when she suddenly felt a hand grabbing her waist, pulling her closer.

“Good morning, beautiful,” Himchan said with a sleepy voice, his eyes still closed.

The golden rays of sunlight were streaming through the window beautifully. The sounds of the lake, the morning breeze and the birds singing outside were really serene. Everything just seemed so perfect that they wished time would somehow stop at that moment, so that they could cherish every single bit of it longer.

CL turned around to face her husband. She rested her head on his bare chest and drew invisible circles on it. His skin felt so warm and soft, and his scent was beautiful and calming. “How are you feeling today?” he asked.

“Sore but great,” she chuckled shyly, her warm breath tickling his bare skin.

“Sorry if I were being too rough on you last night,” he sighed, feeling a bit guilty; and kissed the top of her head, his fingers lacing through her soft hair.

CL rolled over and on top of him, laughing slightly. Himchan finally opened his eyes and looked at her with confused yet loving eyes. “You’re amazing, do you know that?” she giggled and Himchan couldn’t help but smile widely.  

She slowly leaned down to kiss him but quickly backed away right before their lips touched. “What’s wrong?” asked Himchan, totally baffled.

“I uh- I haven’t brushed my teeth yet,” she muttered, her eyes wandered the room nervously.

Himchan couldn’t control himself and laughed loudly, causing her to frown. “Silly, do you think morning breaths would stop me from kissing you? Na-uh,” he chuckled before sitting up to claim her lips with passion.

They both closed their eyes as they kissed each other tenderly, their hearts beating in sync like a beautiful melody. A smile instantly crept on their faces once their lips parted and they just stared at each other with so much love. “So, do you think I got you pregnant last night?” Himchan smirked, earning himself a loud smack on the head.

It was too strong and painful that he yelped. CL immediately stood up and headed towards the bathroom, leaving her bemused husband behind. “Where are you going?” cried Himchan, his hand still rubbing his head, “Do you think you can get away with this easily, missy?”

“Yeap,” she replied simply and gave him a devious smirk before taking off Himchan’s shirt that she had put on last night, revealing her body.

Himchan’s eyes widened at the beautiful sight right in front of him and he was suddenly again. “Such- a- tease. Ya! Lee Chaerin!” he cried again and started running after her but CL has already shut the door and locked it even before he could reach it.

“Sorry, honey. You can shower with me another time,” Himchan groaned in frustration when he heard her chuckling through the door.

“That’s much better but you guys still need to work more on some things. Let’s take a 10 minute break,” said the choreographer.

The boys immediately plopped down on the dance floor, panting heavily. They have been practicing for roughly five hours now and they haven’t even got the chance to have a proper meal yet. “Why is hyung being extra hard on us today?” whined Youngjae.

“Stop complaining, this is all for our own benefits,” replied Yongguk with a very stern voice and the room became awkwardly quiet all of the sudden.

“He’s not mad at you, Youngjae-ah. Relax, everyone’s just as tired as you are. We got through this before, so we’ll get through it again,” Himchan, the so-called mother of the group, tried to enlighten the mood.

“Anyway, hyung. How was your honeymoon?” asked Jongup with curious eyes.

“Pabo, how do you think it was? Of course it was amazing, right hyung?” replied Daehyun, rolling his eyes at the clueless boy.

“Well, how should I know? I wasn’t even there. It could’ve been hell for all I know,” replied Jongup, still very clueless about everything, causing everyone to burst into laughter – including Yongguk.

“What?!” cried Jongup again, a bit annoyed this time.

Daehyun and the other boys just shook their heads, amused by how innocent he was. “Look, what do you think a man and a woman do when they go on a honeymoon?” asked Youngjae.

Jongup pouted his mouth and looked up the ceiling to think. And it took him a couple minutes to finally say something, “I don’t know, go on dates? Having fun?”

“Ya! Moon Jongup! You are too innocent for your age, do you know that?!” Daehyun finally lost his patience and strangled his neck jokingly.

“They had , you idiot!” said Zelo out of nowhere before leaving the room, slamming the door shut.

The other boys were extremely stunned by his bluntness. Zelo was never the one who would touch on that particular subject. Heck, he barely even talked about girls. So the hyungs were really, really shocked that he even dared saying the word ‘’ in front of them. “What the hell is his problem?” asked Daehyun.

“He’s just growing up, unlike someone,” chuckled Yongguk and the others looked at him, surprised.

Daehyun and Youngjae continued to nag Yongguk on how Zelo shouldn’t be so rude like he was and how he was too young to be thinking about such things while Himchan just laughed his off. Usually, he was the one who did the nagging. So seeing someone else nagging Yongguk really entertained him. “Whatever, guys. I’m going to go out for a bit,” Himchan chuckled and headed to their locker room, ignoring Yongguk who was giving him a death glare.

CL was playing around with a bunch of kids when her phone beeped, indicating that she has received a text message. A smile slowly crept onto her face when she saw her husband’s name on the screen.

‘Hey, beautiful. Just wanted to check up on you. :)’ – Himchan.

‘Hey, handsome. Sean oppa brought us to the hospital to play with the kids. It’s really fun, you should join us some time. :) Anyways, shouldn’t you be practicing?’ – CL

‘Yeap, having a break right now. I have to go soon, though. I’d definitely love to join next time. Maybe we can bring our kids to play with them in the future. :)’ – Himchan

‘That would be very lovely. Hee. You should go, I don’t want you to get into trouble because of me. Love you.’ – CL

‘Alright. See you later. I love you too.’ – Himchan

“Ya! Lee Chaerin! I think you owe us a story,” cried Bommie form the other end of the room, startling CL.

She just let out a deep sigh. She kind of knew what the other girls were on about – her honeymoon, which she didn’t really want to talk about with other people. She’s not really a kiss-and-tell type of person, you know. Soon, the three girls have surrounded her. Their faces were plastered with invisible question marks. “Why didn’t you tell us you were going on a honeymoon?” asked Bommie rather excited.

“Yeah, and I had to find out about it from Jiyongie?” Dara said with a rather disappointed voice, “Do you know how worried we were that you suddenly went missing?” she continued.

“Well, I wasn’t that worried. I kind of knew that she was with her husband,” Bommie retorted, feeling a bit proud that she knew something about CL that Dara had no clue about.

Bom and Dara continued arguing over CL for several minutes and the younger ones could only sigh at their childishness. “And they’re supposed to be our eonnies,” said Minzy sarcastically.

“Guys, can you please stop arguing?” CL finally spoke up, pinching the bridge of her nose.

“Sorry, we got a little carried away,” chuckled Bommie.

“A little?” Minzy rolled her eyes, earning her a slap on her right arm.

“Anyways, how was the honeymoon?” asked Dara excitedly.

“It was fun,” replied CL, genuinely happy, “I really had a great time.”

“Did you guys use protection?” asked Minzy, leaving Bom and Dara with their mouths wide opened, “What?! I was just curious. Besides, don’t you think it’s a bit too early to have kids? I mean, both B.A.P and us are still very busy.”

Everyone suddenly became very quiet. Not even a single word was uttered for the next five minutes or so. CL sighed and sat down by the hospital window. She seemed rather distressed and Minzy suddenly regretted bringing the topic up. Yes, she was concerned about their leader but it was definitely not her business to interfere. She has, obviously, crossed the line.

“Eonnie, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to-”

“Nah, you were right. We’re probably not ready to have kids yet,” CL replied, sadness was apparent in her voice.

“No, no, no. You’re such an amazing woman. I’ve seen you with kids. For example, just now, you were really good to that Haneul kid. You helped him changed, you fed him, and you even read him a storybook. You are more than ready to be a mother, eonnie. Trust me, you are,” Minzy tried to cheer their leader up but it seemed that it wasn’t fully working.

CL got up and just gave the other members a faint smile before uttering, “It’s okay, we’ll have kids when the time’s right.”

[HIMCHAN’S POV]

Even though we’re back to our busy lives, I was still very happy. The beauty of not seeing each other that often, in my opinion, was that we were able to learn to love and appreciate our partner even more. It’s definitely hard but it’s still bearable. Those short, sweet text messages we exchanged every now and then were enough to brighten up my mood every time I was in a bit of a stress and whatnot.

I finally got home after a long, tiring day of practice, practice and more practice. I was exhausted but I just couldn’t stop smiling at the thought of seeing CL’s face and cuddling with her. I rushed into our room excitedly and there she was, lying peacefully on our bed.

“Baby,” I said softly as I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

She turned around and I was really shocked to see her expression. She seemed really sad, like something was really troubling her inside. I’ve never seen her like this, not even when she was worried about their albums or anything. I couldn’t help but to feel really worried. She sounded just fine earlier, so what could’ve happened that had led to this drastic change in her mood?

“Baby, what’s wrong?” I asked.

“Nothing, just thinking,” she tried to sound normal but she sounded the total opposite.

“No, there’s obviously something bothering you. What is it?” I asked again and she just sighed, burying her face in my chest, “Baby, you know you can talk to me about anything, right?”

Instead of answering me, she just gave me a soft peck on my lips. There was definitely something she was hiding but I didn’t want to force her to say anything if she wasn’t ready so I just kept quiet and played with her soft locks. “Channie,” she finally broke the silence, “do you really want to have kids with me?”

“Oh my god, is that what’s been bothering you?” I asked in disbelief and she nodded, “Of course, I do. I want to see mini me’s and mini you’s running around the house, screaming our names. I want to hug them every morning before they go to school. I want to go to their talent shows or soccer games, whatever they choose to participate in the future. I want to teach them how to play traditional instruments. I want us to go shopping together and be the most fashionable family on earth. I want us to walk by the beach holding hands. I want to do a lot of things together with you and our kids.”

I was totally zoning out at that point of time that I didn’t even realise she was looking at me with amused eyes, laughing her off. “You’re so cute,” she giggled.

“Finally, I missed that smile,” I said and she started to blush like crazy, “Why did you ask about that anyway? Don’t you want to have kids?”

“No, that’s not it. I really do want to have kids. It’s just that-.” she paused for a few moments and sighed.

“What is it, baby?” I asked again.

“The girls said thought maybe we’re too busy to have kids right now,” she finally finished her sentence.

I let out a deep sigh upon hearing that. What she said was true. We’re both busy and having kids sounded really impossible at this moment. But something told me that we were ready to be parents. “Hey, look at me. What do you think? Do you think you’re ready to become a mother?” I asked, looking her straight in the eyes.

“Yes, I think I am. No, I know I am!” she replied, her eyes were sparkling.

“That’s good because I know I am ready too. As long as we know we’re ready, what other people think is irrelevant. Just remember that I will always be here with you through thick and thin. Besides, it is so not you to be bothered by what others think. Come on, you’re CL,” I chuckled before kissing her gently.

A big smile appeared on her face when we parted our lips and I couldn’t help but to smile back at her. There’s no word to describe how happy I was to see her smiling again. “So, should we try making babies again?” I asked teasingly only to be hit on the head really hard.
