The two of them had only been dating for six months when Jaebum surprised himself and Jackson by suggesting that they pool both their incomes and buy a flat together.

“I mean it’s only practical, right? You’re always over at mine anyway; you’d be saving time and money if we lived together,” Jaebum said, doing his best to seem nonchalant. Much like the sun, Jackson’s resulting smile was so bright that Jaebum couldn’t stare directly at it for too long.

“What? What are you really saying here? I’m not that easy, you know. You have to say it,” Jackson grinned while wiggling in his seat. Jaebum pretended to heave a sigh before he took Jackson’s hand and pulled him into his side.

“Come and live with me, Jackson-ah,” Jaebum huskily breathed into his ear. Jaebum felt his hearing briefly go from Jackson’s high-pitched screech, and he felt the breath leave his lungs as Jackson wrapped his arms around him.
