Chapter 14

Waking up slowly would have been just the ticket but that wasn’t the case, Yunho would have smiled happily lying beside his wife for the morning, it would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the ringing of his phone. Couldn’t he just have one blissful morning, trying to do things right for once? Yunho scurried from the bed with the phone looking over his shoulder to check if Jaejoong had awoken. He pulled the door across, ‘Umma would you stop with the excessive calls,’

‘Yunho is that any way to speak to me, I was just checking in.’ His mother answered, ‘I’m can’t stop...

‘Umma I'm sorry, Jaejoong resting I don’t want to wake him.’ Yunho interrupted her knowing full well what she would say, his mother was a frequent caller.

‘Oh dear, I keep forgetting the time difference. How is Jaejoong by the way?’

Here we go, Yunho thought yes Umma don’t ask how your own son is, not that he really cared, Jaejoong was his concern to, he knew his mother well and she was relentless there was no stopping her. ‘He’s okay, this break is doing him good I hope.’ he hadn’t meant to say the last part it came out

‘Yunho you don’t sound so sure, has anything happened?’ No, nothing had happened that warranted questioning from his mother. They had been away for a week, Yunho was doing his best to get closer to Jaejoong and sleeping in the same bed sometimes helped Jaejoong get the sleep he needed. Yunho would wake up most night if Jaejoong was moving around the bed, but he found if he rubbed Jaejoong back or cruelled his hands around Jaejoong. Jaejoong would settle for the night, maybe if he changed the subject, he could get his mother to leave him alone. ‘Yunho are you still here.... hello.’ Maybe if he pretended, he wasn’t his mother would hang up.

‘I’m still here Umma, Jaejoong is fine, where both fine I'll call you if there is a problem.’ Yunho hung up, she was surely going to ring again, so Yunho did the most sensible thing, he switched off his phone. ‘Sorry Umma.’ his eyes gazed on the phone when the bedroom door open. Yunho eyes met Jaejoong tired eyes.

‘Was there someone on the phone?’ he asked.

‘Just Umma doing her routine call of checking in.’ Yunho told him, placing his phone on the side cabinet. ‘How are you feeling?’

‘Should you really be switching it off?’ Jaejoong asked.

‘Only so we can get some peace Umma will understand after a while....you okay? Yunho asked again.

‘At this very moment I feel good,’ Jaejoong answered him honestly. They had spoken a good bit over the last few days. Maybe even getting a tiny bit closer, but it was a start. Honesty was something they had spoken about. Not to shy away from what they should be talking about. They were married they should depend on one another more.

‘Good do you want me to run you a bath?’ Yunho asked,

Jaejoong shook his head no, ‘thank you but no, I was thinking you and I would go for a walk or something?’ Jaejoong was very precise about his wording.

‘I would like that,’ Yunho told h
