12:34 pm

 

The heels clicked faintly on the marble floor of the building as you walked out of the elevator to the cabin while stopping by the secretary's table who was seated on her chair focused on the laptop. 

 

"Good afternoon, Ms. Bae." 

 

You greeted her, placing your arm on the table where she looked up, shooting a smile. "Good afternoon, ma'am." 

 

"Not that ma'am again." You pursed your lips as Ms. Bae chuckled. "Okay, Ms. Kim." 

 

"So, Is he busy?" You asked, gesturing towards the cabin where Ms. Bae shook her head. "Not right now, but he has a meeting in forty five minutes." 

 

You nodded, smiling. "Thank you!" 

 

With that, you walked away towards the cabin before giving a soft knock on the door, you heard a faint yes through the door and you pushed the door a little to pop your head inside. 

 

There he was, seated on his swivel chair behind the table, dressed in his formal black suit which's blazer was hung behind on his chair while the white shirt sleeved up and paired with the black tie loosened around his neck with his eyes focused on his laptop. 

 

A smile curved on your lips. "Hi." 

 

He took a glance at you before looking back at the screen then looked back at you with a surprised look. "What are you doing here?" 

 

"Expected question." You giggled, "But can I come in?" 

 

"Obviously," He trailed off, standing up."And I have told you just come in without knocking-" 

 

"But I don't listen, I know." You completed his sentence as you walked in, approaching him with your arms opening wide. "Surprise!" 

 

"Surprise, my foot." He giggled, locking his arms around your waist as you hugged his neck while each other in a hug where you felt him lifting you up making you giggle.

 

"When did you arrive? And why didn't you call me?" He questioned, sternly as he leaned away and you crossed your arms over your chest. "My meeting ended early and I couldn't rest a day more there so I came back directly from the meeting." 

 

"I could have picked you up, Daisy." 

 

"Of course you would have," You cupped his face with a light squish. "But you're busy with your work and I can come back on my own." 

 

"Fair enough." He nodded, before taking a concentrated gaze up to down at you, clad in a grey blazer and skinny pants with white silk shirt tucked in. "Have I ever told you how gorgeous you look in that formal suit?" 

 

"Yes." You giggled. "But did you really have to introduce me as your wife?" 

 

"Why?" 

 

"I heard someone calling me Sister-in-law." You told, and his lips curved in a bright smile. "Really? I should give that person a treat." 

 

"Shut up." You slapped his arm and he giggled, before taking your hand as he caressed the silver ring around your ring finger while kissing the back of your hand. "We have just a few months to get married anyway." 

 

You bit your lip, smiling. "But can I take a seat first? My feet are hurting." 

 

"Your feet-" He halted, as he looked down, finding your feet in black heels where he looked back at you with a serious frown. "Really? Why the hell would you wear this damn thing?" 

 

"Because it matched well with my dress." You shrugged, but gave him a sheepish grin as you found his frown not disappearing before gasping as he scooped you in his arms swiftly where you held onto his neck. 

 

Walking further, he placed you on the couch gently as the heels slipped off through your feet where he took a seat next to you while taking your legs on his lap and you gave him a surprised look. "What are you doing?" 

 

"Be quiet." He frowned, giving your legs a gentle squeeze and your heart fluttered at the little gesture of his where he began to nag like usual. "Look at your feet, they are almost swollen and why did you even bring shoes when you are always wearing this painful thing?" 

 

A smile curved on your lips as you placed chin on your palm where your elbow rested on your thigh as you kept your adoring gaze on him and he stopped his babble when he found your soft gaze on him. 

 

"What are you smiling at?" His forehead creased and you shrugged. "You just look really adorable right now." 

 

And he blinked a couple of times at your sudden heart fluttering words as he bit his lower lip, blushing. "You think that would stop me from scolding you?" 

 

"No?" You tilted your head, smiling and he couldn't help but smile as he chuckled. "No." 

 

"It's working though." 

 

"No, it's not." 

 

"It is." 

 

"No." 

 

"Yes." 

 

"No." 

 

"Yes." 

 

"No." 

 

"No?" 

 

"Yes." 

 

"It worked!" You exclaimed, giggling and he stared at you with a surprised look as the scene felt too familiar to be forgotten as he scoffed, playfully reaching out to pull your cheek. "Seriously?" 

 

"Seriously." 

 

You smiled, pulling his cheek back as you pulled his face close to you where he smiled, while leaning back against the couch as his arm extended on the headrest and you leaned your head against his arm. 

 

"So, how did your meeting go?" He questioned, tucking the bangs away from your face and you hummed. "It was tiring but it was good since it went well and I have to go back to work because I gotta discuss the next photo shoot with Seulgi." 

 

As you continued your speech, he had been listening attentively and staring at you intently with warm eyes but you stopped when you noticed him smiling as your brows raised. "Why are you staring at me like that?" 

 

"Because you look adorable right now." He uttered, and you squinted your eyes at him before cupping his face to squish his cheeks. "Look at you talking like me." 

 

A knock erupted on the door where Baekhyun asked to come whoever was outside who turned out to be Ms. Bae as she opened the door only to close it swiftly with a flustered state after seeing the sight while apologizing immediately and informed him that the client will be arriving soon before leaving. 

 

Both of you turned to each other with a confused look until you realized the position as a heat rushed up your face where your eyes widened. "Oh my god, what would she be thinking?" 

 

You attempted to pull away your legs but instead, he held onto it as he slipped his arm under your legs while the other draped around your waist and you shot him a confused look before gasping as he pulled you closer by slightly lifting you up to place you on his lap. 

 

"What are you doing?" You stared at him surprised, and he shrugged. "Ms. Bae would be thinking how loving we are and now she won't disturb us." 

 

"Disturb from what?" Your forehead creased, and his corner of lips turned in a smirk as his eyes turned playful. "You know?" 

 

A smile curved on your lips as you noticed the familiar expression and immediately turned your face the other way. "No." 

 

"Why?"

 

He whined, dropping his head on your shoulder and you giggled, patting his head but your breath hitched, feeling his warm lips brushing against the curve of your neck to trail up to your jawline where you held your breath till his face came in your sight. 

 

He had that font gaze in his eyes which he always stares at you with, and your heart flutters every time when he bores intently into yours where a soft smile curved on your lips as you reached out, palming his jaw to caress it softly before leaning in to press your lips on his in a soft peck. 

 

As you leaned away, he palmed your back to pull you back against him as he pulled in another kiss where a chill ran through your spine when he deepened the kiss and your arms locked around his neck tightly as you responded back. 

 

Your heart would always beat crazily, and exactly the way you had kissed him for the first time as it always makes your heart warm and happy and you just know that he also feels the same way because his lips would smile against yours every time. 

 

A sudden knock on the door erupted, making you detach your lips from his as you breathed out. "Wait-" 

 

But he had crushed his lips on yours swiftly, as he held onto your waist where you held onto his shoulder to pull away as you took a deep breath while he seemed to be doing the same as well. 

 

"You are supposed to be meeting someone today." You managed to utter out, where he blinked a couple of times before his eyes widened as he realized. "Right, Kim Minseok." 

 

"Yes." You stood up, sliding your feet in your heels before feeling him standing up behind you as you turned to him only to burst out laughing as he stared at you confused. "What?" 

 

"Wait." You gave me a nod, still laughing as you walked to the table making him follow behind you as you fished out some tissues before turning to him and began to wipe his lips while still laughing. "Oh god." 

 

He let out a laugh while poking your waist. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?" 

 

You shook your head, giggling before throwing the tissues in the trash bin while he unfolded his sleeves to button them up where you reached out to grab his blazer as you helped him wearing it. 

 

Standing in front of him, you fixed his collar and tie with a smile. "Now, go and make me proud." 

 

"Aren't you already proud of me?" A frown appeared between his brows and you chuckled, fixing his hair. "Of course I am and I will always be." 

 

"That's what I'm talking about." He pinched your nose, making you scrunch it lightly. "Then, I'll leave now." 

 

He nodded, holding the back of your head as he kissed your forehead. "Take my car and drive safely." 

 

"How would you come to me then?" He questioned, and he shrugged. "Pick me up." 

 

You chuckled, nodding before turning around only to turn back to him as he shot you a confused look where you held his nap and pressed your lips on his cheek. "Good luck." 

 

Without even letting him utter anything, you turned around to walk away but stopped by the door when you heard him saying. "I have got that already and soon, permanently." 

 

Looking over your shoulder to him, a smile crept on your lips where he smiled back fondly before opening the door to walk away. 

 

Well, time surely passes by when you are the happiest in your moments, as after coming back from the Switzerland trip, all of you got busy in your own respective jobs. 

 

Baekhyun and you started working in your family business like you both had decided, which goes the same for Kyungsoo and Chanyeol whereas, Seulgi and Sarang were working in their professions. 

 

A few months back, both of you had gotten engaged and were going to get married in a few months and as much as it felt surreal, it was a happy moment for both of you.

8:39 pm 

 

"Kim Minseok is really handsome." 

 

Baekhyun's hand halted midway in front of his mouth as he was about to shove the spoonful of rice but had stopped upon hearing your words beside him as he turned to you only to find you munching joyfully. 

 

He looked ahead at his mother in law, and nudged his chin toward you. "We are yet to get married and your daughter is already praising another man infront of me." 

 

You frowned, stopping your spoonful infront of your mouth as you looked at him confusingly. "What? I was just being honest." 

 

He squinted his eyes at you before grabbing your wrist as he shoved the spoonful in his mouth where you gave him a look and he swallowed. "When did you even meet him?" 

 

"I didn't," You trailed off, taking a sip of your water. "I just saw him passing by the elevator." 

 

"And you found him handsome just by a glimpse?" He shoved another spoonful with a scoff and totally came off being jealous and you just loved teasing him about it. "Sometimes you can just tell by a glimpse you know." 

 

"You never told me by looking and talking to me though." He pressed, as another scoff left his lips and you bit your lip, suppressing your laugh. "How would you know that?" 

 

He rolled his eyes, as he let out a huff. "I know enough." 

 

"Look at them already quarreling when they are yet to get married." Samuel remarked, sitting across from you, bedside your mom on the dining table as your mom chuckled. "Let them be, that's their charm you know." 

 

You smiled as you looked at him only to find his grumpy look to which you imitated him where he eventually chuckled, shaking his head making you giggle back. 

 

The doorbell rang as Baekhyun stood up to check since he was done eating while you stood up with your mom to help her with washing the dishes with Samuel helping with the remaining ones. 

 

"What are two doing here?" Baekhyun asked, as soon as he opened the door to find the two girls standing and Seulgi palmed her waist. "Then what about you?" 

 

"This is my home." He gave both of them a look and Sarang rolled her eyes as she walked past him inside with Seulgi behind. "And it's my bestie's home so technically my home too." 

 

"Ji-Ah!" 

 

"Coming!"

 

You walked out of the kitchen to find your besties already seated on the couch in the living room as you smiled. "What's happening?" 

 

"Ji, give me your phone charger." Sarang held out her hand, "My phones dead." 

 

"There it is." 

 

You pointed at the table by the couch while taking a seat on the armchair beside Baekhyun who instantly leaned his head against your torso while Sarang grabbed it as she unplugged the charger off from your phone where the screen lit up. 

 

"Oh, what's this?" She muttered, as she walked up to you to grab your hand to scan your thumb against the screen to unlock the phone and you stared at her confusingly. "What are you doing?" 

 

"Ji, you have gotten an invitation." Sarang's eyes focused on the screen as she scrolled down where Seulgi frowned. "What invitation?" 

 

"High school reunion." She told, and everyone silenced as even your mom and Samuel stopped their steps midway from the kitchen while everyone's eyes averted to your blank look including Baekhyun's. 

 

"Oh." The only sentence you could blurt out was this, as your mind was still blank and confused about the news and Sarang raised her brows. "Oh?" 

 

"Go and charge your phone." You said, taking your phone from her as you gripped it firmly which didn't go unnoticed by Baekhyun as he stared at you worryingly yet understandingly knowing the reason behind. 

 

"That's not important right now." Sarang crossed her arms and you sighed, waving your phone. "This is also not important because I'm not going." 

 

"What do you mean by you're not going?" Seulgi questioned, as she shot you a confusing look. "I think you definitely should go, Supergirl." 

 

"I am not going and that's final." 

 

You stated, standing up as you jogged upstairs quickly leaving everyone sighing as Baekhyun looked at your mom who motioned him to go after you as he gave her an assuring nod before following you to your room.
