**********************************

Waking up in a perfectly good weather, wrapped on a soft and cozy blanket, legs were tangled unto each other underneath the covers, their arms snaking around each other's body, and of course, the older's beautiful face just an inches away from the younger's as soon as he opens his eyes,

This...

This kind of mornings are, Yugyeom's favorite.

He didn't know how early or when did he wake up, but he was sure that he had been staring at the older's lovely sleeping face for a while now and he didn't think he would stop any moment. He didn't even know what time is it already and honestly, he didn't care about it at all. He just didn't seem to mind any other things anymore when the older is beside him. His smiles grow bigger as his mind had completely registered that at last, after those agonizing three weeks of not having the love of his life around him, finally, Jinyoung is back...his boyfriend is back.

'I missed you so much, hyung...'

He thought, and scooted a bit closer to him.

Somehow, he still couldn't believe that he was already here sleeping beside him. He was honestly expecting that he'd bear another week of being far away from him just like what, Jinyoung had informed him with their last call. He was longing so bad for him last night, so to say that he was surprised is an understatement. He was astound! His head suddenly feels lighter and he couldn't say or do anything anymore other than throw himself to him and told him how much he misses him.

'It's just three weeks, but it felt like years to me...'

He thought again and carefully brings his hand to softly caress the older's hair.

Just how many times, Jinyoung have gone to work on a short film away from home? Starting from the day that he got a job, at first, he had been working for short films near the place and then after three months, that's when he started working out of the town, and he have gone for at least, four times already throughout the following months, five times actually including the most recent one. The duration of his work would vary depending on how long the short film would be. The shortest was only a week and the longest so far was a month and a half, which actually almost drives him nuts during those times.

'You won't be leaving all too quickly again, right hyung?'

He secretly asks, and he hopes he has the courage to ask him that verbally right now...because he seriously thought, he can't.

Just like his friend, Youngjae, he didn't want the older to think that he was making his dream and his job an issue between them. As much as possible, Yugyeom wanted to give him all kinds of support towards his dreams because he knew that, Jinyoung do really want it. So, whatever that can make his boyfriend happy and satisfied, he's more than willing to endure and do every possible thing to help him reach it.

'I love you and I will always support you...even if it means not having you beside me most of the times.'

He secretly promised as he watches him more on his sleep.

Yugyeom immediately reaches for the alarm clock on the bedside table to turn it off before it could even wake the older up. It's not that he doesn't have a plan of getting up today, he knew that they both have some important things to work on and that they shouldn't be late for their respective tasks. But is it too much to ask for another minutes of just laying here beside his lover after not having him around for almost a month? He just wanted to savor this kind of mornings since he doesn't know whether he'll be going again after some days or not?

So really, it wasn't too much ask, right?

He asks himself, but as his phone beside the alarm clock started ringing instead, the younger couldn't help but secretly let out a small groan. He stretches his arm to reach for it and immediately declined the call as soon as he got a hold of it and put it back down, not even feeling sorry to whoever it was that is calling him so early in the freaking morning.

"Who's that?"

Jinyoung mumbled the moment the younger goes back on facing him. His eyes were still closed as he says that.

"No one."

Yugyeom whispered back as he kisses the top of his head when the older snuggled more on his chest. Jinyoung didn't say anything anymore and just lets the younger softly running his delicate hands up and down on his arm, slowly bringing him back to sleep. They just stayed like that for a few more minutes until his phone started ringing again.

'Damn you to whoever you are that is calling me right now!'

He thought as he reaches for the device again and quickly turn it on silent mode, obviously getting so done with it.

"Who's calling you this early?"

Jinyoung asks with a muffled voice since he was still snuggling close on the younger's chest.

"Probably one of the guys?" He answered and just softly kisses the older's forehead once he had slowly opened his eyes to look at him. "Good morning, my love."

Yugyeom sweetly mutters, sending butterflies all over, Jinyoung's stomach.

"Good morning, why are you up so early?"

Jinyoung mutters with his still sleepy voice, he lifted his hand to softly caress the younger's cheeks as he stares at him lovingly even between his sleepy eyes. Yugyeom leans on his soft touch and stares back at him before answering.

"So I could watch you sleep,"

He said and maybe to other people it would sound a little a creepy, but for Jinyoung, he didn't mind at all because he does that a lot too. The older leans in closer and gently kisses the tip of his nose, making the younger's heart melting right on the spot as he suddenly realizes how much he has truly missed those touch and kisses from him.

"What time is it?"
"You don't need to know, hyung."
Yugyeom playfully whispered as he started pulling the older closer to his body, making the other guy giggle.
"Are we to skip work today?"
"Can we?"
Yugyeom asks expectantly.
"Of course, we can't."

Jinyoung answered and the younger automatically have that bitter smile on his face. He suddenly misses their school days together. At least before, skipping classes aren't that much of a big deal compare to work. 

Yugyeom lets out a deep sigh as the older squirms off of his embrace and sits up, checking the time at the clock on the bedside table.

"You should get up now, you only have like, one hour to prepare and drive,"

The older said while looking down at him and waiting for him to go get moving, but the younger only pursed his lips as he looks away and pulled the blanket to his face, not wanting to get up even though he clearly knows that he should.

"Yugyeom..."

He heard his boyfriend calling him and pulling the covers off from his face, but the younger still chooses to be stubborn. He looks down instead, not wanting to meet his eyes as he knows he would end up getting off the bed once he did.

"Come on, get up now and take a shower, I'll prepare the breakfast,"

Jinyoung added and just decided to leans down to give him a quick consolation kiss, but before he could even pull back, Yugyeom suddenly held his nape and pulls him back down as he effortlessly switches their position so he would be the one hovering on top of him. Jinyoung doubtlessly submits to him and just lets his lips moving against the younger's since he had honestly missed those lips too.

They just made out for who knows how long until the older finally remembered that they were supposed to be preparing now for work. He carefully pulls off from the younger's lips despite his own lips secretly wanting it more, both of them were panting as they stare back at each other's eyes.

"We should really get up now, you'll be late..."

He mutters as he softly patted the younger's head, encouraging him to go get moving. Yugyeom stays on his position for a few more seconds, still fighting his inner self who keeps on telling him to just don't mind everything and just stay, but of course, that needy Yugyeom wouldn't win in any way right now, so he just he lets outs a sigh and leans down again to give him one last deep kiss before finally getting up from the bed and walking straight at the bathroom.
Once inside the bathroom, Yugyeom heaves out another sigh as he lazily took off his clothes and twisted the shower knob. Unlike with his previous experiences from this being away thingy, Yugyeom always feels so overly giddy once his lover was back, but right now, he just didn't know why do he feels so sulky. There's just this feeling inside of him that keeps on bugging him, and it's not that he's not happy that Jinyoung is back. It's just that he really couldn't help but worry about the following days. He keeps on thinking about, now that he's back, how long can he be with him before Jinyoung tells him that he would be leaving again for another project? What if tomorrow he started asking him again if it's fine for him to accept that project? That he needs to stay out of the town again for another weeks or months? It's fine if it is just around the area, but what if it was somewhere far again?

'If only I could say no...'

He thought as he lets the water running down his body.

If only he could disagree with him then it would be much easier for him, and it's not that he couldn't go against him about everything because he loves him. They do shared some little arguments from time to time too and would disagree with each other if they think something's not right. He can freely say no or don't, if he wants, but not with this one. Not with his boyfriend's dreams. Also, don't get him wrong, he wasn't, in any way, complaining about, Jinyoung constantly leaving for this and that, he wasn't mad or tired of him and he will never be. He was just really anxious about the upcoming days because as much as possible he wanted to maximize the days that he was with him since they were always busy with everything.

'Good thing, this internship would be done soon.'

He thought, suddenly feeling a bit hopeful as he remembers that after a few weeks they will be all free from working inside the journalism department.

'That means, I will be able to spend more time with, Jinyoung hyung too.'

A smile finally appears on his lips. He just wishes that his boyfriend won't have something yet for the following weeks so he could take him out to dates and short vacations once he's done with the internship. He smiled even more with the thought of it. 

ooOoo

"Oh, at last!"

He beams as he saw the small dining table filled with, Jinyoung's cooked foods.

"I badly missed your food, hyung~" 

Yugyeom said as he goes straight to, Jinyoung and hugs him from behind.
Jinyoung smiles happily as he carefully transfers the food from the pan into the plate. 

"Yah, can you let go of me for a while? I'm still not done preparing the table?"

He said as he tries his best to turn around to place down the plate on the table while still having the younger clinging on him like a koala.

"No."

Yugyeom stubbornly said against his shoulder.

Jinyoung only heaves out a playful tired sigh and just continues what he was doing.

"How's your thesis going?"

The older asks when he's finally done preparing the table and had successfully shakes off the younger from him. They were now sitting across each other while eating their breakfast.

"We're halfway done, hyung!" Yugyeom answered with a muffled voice, still chewing his food. He gulps it down and sips some water before speaking again, "We just need to validate the questionnaire, so we can finally conduct the survey,"

"Have you guys already found someone to validate it?"
"Yeah, it was Jimin's professor from last year,"
"That's good to hear, I'm glad you guys are doing well with your thesis unlike us last year?" 
"Oh, you mean that thesis episode of you and, Mark hyung where you guys almost called for a friendship over because of how stressful it was?"

"Yeah, that." Jinyoung answered, and they both started laughing a bit when they suddenly remembered the old days. "You know what, if you come at me during those times, I'll definitely turned you down without the slightest hint of hesitation."

He added, suddenly remembering how chaotic it was during their own thesis making and suddenly being thankful that, Yugyeom came by, just days after the final defense, because he seriously thought that if he approaches him during those times, he'll literally kick him away without turning his head back because of jam-packed stress.

"Well, honestly hyung, I do wanted to approach you during those times, so I could at least help you, but you always have that fierce and exhausted look as if you'd be snapping out with just one wrong move and I'm so scared about it, so I disregarded the thought," Yugyeom confessed, now realizing how much of a coward he was before, "And seriously speaking, if it wasn't for Jackson hyung's party, I think I would never have the courage to confessed and wouldn't be sitting now here with you?"

Jinyoung starts laughing again as he imagined it, slightly feeling sorry for scaring him during those times. Also, he suddenly feels relieved that his best friend had dragged him to that party, because if not, and if ever he did chose to just read books at his apartment that night, he wouldn't definitely be here sitting and eating breakfast with the younger too.
Now he suddenly thought of how amazing chances are.

Would you even believe, that he doesn't even think of him, even for the slightest bit before? But just look at him now...it's like all of his thoughts now were about him...just about, Yugyeom alone...

'That's cringy, but it's true.'

The older thought.

"How are the other guys doing anyway?"

He asks again after the comfortable paused.

"Still the same idiots from before,"
"You talk as if you're not?"
"Yah hyung, I'm smarter than them!"
"Uh-huh?"

Jinyoug hummed while giving him a judging look. Yugyeom lets out a defeated sigh and just chuckles on his own.

"Fine, but you love me anyway, so?"

He added and proudly shrug his shoulders, making the older shaking his head slightly.

"Then how about your short film, hyung? How's it?"

Yugyeom asks after a while. The older took his time to chews his food before answering.

"It's fine. The shoot ended earlier than we expected,"

"Oh about that!" Yugyeom beams when he suddenly remembered something, "Didn't you told me with our last call that you'd be working for another week for it? What happen?"

"You sounded like you didn't want me back?"

Jinyoung said as he let out a scoff and frustratingly puts down his utensils on the table, acting as if he was really mad and offended, but he's honestly not, he just wants to tease his boyfriend.

Yugyeom obviously got worried as he quickly held his boyfriend's hand and hold it firmly.

"Aye, hyung! That's not what I meant! I love you and I'm the happiest that your back, okay?!" He blurted out in panic that instantly made the older chuckling at him. Yugyeom then let go of his hand when he realizes that the older wasn't serious about it all, he throws him a disbelief look as he can feel his own lips tugging into a smile. "Wah~ you're seriously having way too much fun teasing me, hyung aren't you?"

"I do." Jinyoung confidently answered after he's done laughing at him. "But anyway, about that, it's true that were supposed to have another week for it. There's just something that had been messed up during the start of the filming and we thought it wouldn't be done on time, so we proposed another week for allowance, but then everything suddenly goes smoother with the last four days, and surprisingly the shootings had been done earlier, so they all agreed to use that allowance week to just enjoy and tour around the place before going back to the city."

Jinyoung explained.

"Then why didn't you tag along with them, hyung?" The younger asks. Quickly raising his hand to explain himself before his boyfriend started teasing him again, "And no, it's not that I don't want you back, I'm just curious okay?"

He said which actually made them both laughing.

"You exactly know why, why are you even asking?"

Jinyoung sarcastically said, trying his best to suppress that shy smile forming on his lips.
"I really don't?" Yugyeom innocently said, acting as if he doesn't really know the reason behind it, but that goofy smile of him didn't really go unnoticed by the older. "Come on, hyung~ tell me why?"

He added with that teasing tone of him while looking at the other guy as if he's just waiting for him to give in.

Jinyoung couldn't help but chuckles a little and slightly shakes his head in disbelief as he know the only way to end that teasing is to just say it.

"Well," He started. Suddenly feeling a little shy, "I honestly thought it's fun to roam around the place, but....I know someone was waiting for me at the city so..."

He said as he looks back at the younger and suddenly feels his cheeks heating up as he saw how the younger was smiling so wide at him.

"So?"

The younger ask expectantly.

"So...yes, I asked, Erick-si if I can head back first, because a giant sulky baby is waiting for me and I badly misses him too,"

He confessed.

Yugyeom smiles and eyes turns softer. It just feels so right to hear that from his boyfriend, it's like all of those days that he was missing him was suddenly being payed of.

"Do you love me?"

The younger suddenly blurted out with his soft voice. He already knows the answer himself, but hearing it from the older would be more satisfying than reminding himself about it.
Jinyoung's insides were wilding as his ears and cheeks turns redder than usual.

'Why is he even asking?'

He thought, finding it funny at the same time cute.

"I do, Yugyeom, I do."

ooOoo

"Are you sure you didn't want me drive you there?"

Yugyeom asks for the last time as he stops the car just beside his hyung, who's standing in front of the gates about to head to work, too. He wanted to drive him at their company, but Jinyoung refuses it saying that he'll just get a cab because he didn't want him to be late since it was on a completely different direction and it was far from the younger's workplace.

"It's fine. I don't want you to be late than you're already was right now,"

He said and the younger couldn't help but chuckles about that because it's true anyway.

"What time are you getting off from work today, hyung?"

He asks again when he suddenly thought about something.

"I'll leave early, I think? There's not much to do today, just some meeting about the film's promotion,"

He answered and the younger only hummed as a response as he nods his head a little.

"Why're you suddenly asking?"

Jinyoung asked as he notices that the younger suddenly became quiet as if he was suddenly thinking about something deep?

"Oh, uh..." Yugyeom started, his lips slowly forming into a smile as he unconsciously fiddles with the steering wheel, "Let's go out for a date tonight, hyung,"

He said and finally lifted his head to look at him.

Jinyoung wasn't really expecting for it at the moment, so he was kind of speechless right now, and he knows he shouldn't be getting all shy and shocked about it because of course, they'd been together for almost a year and they've gone for some dates before, but he just didn't know why he was suddenly getting so freaking shy and giddy deep inside as if it was the first time that the younger was asking him for a date?

"It's been a while since the last time that we got out?"
Yugyeom mutters. They haven't got a lot of chance to go out for some dates these past few months because of work, and it has no difference right now, but Yugyeom really wants it tonight.

"Aren't you...going to be that tired later?" The older carefully asks. Even though he loves the thought of it, he was still concern about the younger's health. He knows he has tons to do today and he might get exhausted after all of it, "I mean, I would love to, but...I don't want you getting sick again?"

He said, cheeks tainted with a shade of pink.

"I'll be alright, hyung...I just really want to take you out tonight,"

Yugyeom answered with that endearing smile on his face.

Jinyoung still couldn't believe how the younger can make his heart beating so fast with everything that he's doing and saying. It's like even after all of those times of having him around, it would always feel like the first time.

"Okay then...let's go on a date tonight,"

The older finally agreed and smiles back at him. Yugyeom brightens up even more and they just stare at each other for a few more seconds before the younger started speaking again.

"Can you come closer, hyung?"

Yugyeom requested and the older took some steps closer to the car, not really sure why the younger was asking for it, but as his boyfriend tucks his head up from the car's window and kissed his cheek, he finally understands why.

"I'll see you tonight, hyung. I'll go now!"

He goes back on sitting properly inside the car at the driver's seat. The older only nodded his head as an answer, still blushing and speechless by that sudden sweet gestures. 
Yugyeom smiles at him one last time before he finally decided to drive away. He looks at the side mirror to check on his boyfriend and chuckles a bit when he saw him still standing there while smiling. 

He lets out a contended sigh as his whole being suddenly feels so light and relieving. Now he was sure to have a perfectly good mood throughout the day, and he knows he should be getting nervous, because he was literally late now for an hour at the company, but who cares? At least he got a chance to spend more time with his lover earlier.

ooOoo

Yugyeom spend the whole time driving and planning about their date, that he didn't even notice that he was already near his workplace. He finally maneuvered inside the company's parking lot, grab his things and finally got out of the car and run towards the elevator. He carefully swifts his way to the journalism department, constantly shifting his head from left to right to check if some higher personnel were around before carefully entering their office glass door,
