The next day, Baekhyun and Serie embraced the luxury of a lazy morning, snuggled up in the comfort of each other's arms, savoring the warmth of their entwined bodies as they slept in until noon. As they woke up,they shared lazy kisses and whispered sweet nothings with no rush to start the day. They decided to have a leisurely breakfast in the privacy of their cozy room, enjoying the simple pleasure of each other's company. The air was filled with carefree banter and laughter, as they playfully fed each other bites of food and engaged in lighthearted conversations. The room seemed to radiate with an undeniable sense of contentment, as if time itself had decided to pause for their happiness. As they playfully discussed which pancake topping was superior and who could tell the goofiest joke, Baekhyun's phone buzzed insistently, a reminder of an important online meeting he couldn't afford to miss. He sighed apologetically, his eyes reflecting a hint of disappointment at the interruption. Serie, understanding the demands of his work, offered him a reassuring smile. "It's alright, Baekhyun.I understand. Duty calls, right?" she said, her voice infused with warmth and understanding. Relieved by her understanding, Baekhyun leaned in to give her a tender kiss. "I promise I'll make it up to you," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. As Baekhyun attended to his work, Seri took the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing shower, the warm water soothing her senses. But after a while, she felt the familiar twinge of discomfort in her stomach, signaling the arrival of her period. "Of course, it has to come when I'm on vacation," she muttered to herself with a hint of annoyance, wishing for better timing. When Baekhyun's meeting finally ended around noon, they decided to change and continue exploring the vibrant streets of Barcelona. The sun, high above, painted the city in a warm glow as they stepped out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As they strolled, the atmosphere between Baekhyun and Serie was light, filled with the joy of exploring. However, Serie couldn't ignore the escalating cramps, and a wave of discomfort began to overshadow her. Baekhyun, attuned to these subtle changes, observed the slight pallor on her face. Concerned, he gently reached for her hand, fingers intertwining in a gesture of both care and curiosity. Baekhyun gently squeezed her hand. "Hey, baby, something seems off. Are you okay?" he asked, his voice laced with genuine worry. Serie hesitated for a moment, a touch of embarrassment coloring her cheeks. "Yeah, I'm fine," she replied, trying to downplay her discomfort. Baekhyun, though, wasn't easily fooled. He sensed that something wasn't right but chose not to press her.They continued their walk, but Serie's discomfort intensified. She couldn't ignore the cramps any longer and the need to sit down became more pressing.Slowing her pace, she mustered the courage to voice her request. "Umm, Baekhyun, can we sit for a while?" Serie asked, her tone carrying a blend of vulnerability and a hint of discomfort. "Hey, something's up, right? You don't look so good," he said, guiding her to a nearby bench where she could rest.Serie gingerly sat down,her discomfort clearly written on her face. Serie sighed, not wanting to overly concern him, but her discomfort was too apparent to hide. "I've got these annoying stomach cramps. I just need a moment to sit down," she confessed, a hint of shyness coloring her expression. Baekhyun pondered for a moment, connecting the dots about what might be happening. "You're on your periods?" Baekhyun asked, understanding her hesitation. Serie nodded, her face slightly turned downward. "You should have told me," Baekhyun said softly, his eyes filled with concern as he observed Serie's discomfort. "I know, but I felt kinda embarrassed," Serie admitted. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, baby," Baekhyun reassured her, gently rubbing her back. "I'm your husband now, and you can tell me anything. If you're not feeling well, I want to be here for you." His fingers delicately brushed against her hair, skillfully tucking a loose strand behind her ear. In that simple act, there was a tenderness that spoke volumes, offering comfort beyond words. It was as if Baekhyun had an innate ability to soothe not just the physical unease but also the emotional strain, turning a mundane moment into a small, cherished connection between them. Serie couldn't help but smile, momentarily forgetting the discomfort in the warmth of Baekhyun's caring gestures. "Maybe we should head back to the hotel. We can come back here tomorrow. It's probably better if we take it easy and rest in our room today," Baekhyun suggested, his eyes filled with concern as he noticed Serie lightly clutching her stomach. Serie nodded gratefully, appreciating his thoughtfulness. "I'm sorry, Baekhyun. Normally, I don't have cramps this bad. I don't know why they suddenly became worse," she explained, feeling a mixture of frustration and discomfort. Baekhyun's caring demeanor remained unwavering as he gently reached out, his fingertips tenderly caressing Serie's hair. "It's okay, sweetheart. Don't apologize," he murmured. His concern for her comfort was evident in the way he spoke and the softness in his eyes. "Let me call a taxi so we can go back to the hotel, and then we'll find something to help with the pain, alright?" Baekhyun continued, his hand still gently her hair. Serie nodded, appreciating the warmth of his touch and the understanding in his eyes. "Can you wait here for a moment while I arrange the taxi?" he requested, giving her a reassuring smile. Serie nodded again, grateful for Baekhyun's attentiveness. As he stepped away to make the arrangements, Serie couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort in the midst of discomfort, knowing that she could rely on him to take care of her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After their return to the hotel, Baekhyun fetched some painkillers from the bathroom, hoping they would bring Serie some relief. "This might help," he gently offered the small pills to her. "Thank you," Serie replied, a soft smile gracing her lips as she accepted the medicine and swallowed it with a sip of water. "Do you want to lie down for a bit, baby?"Baekhyun, sensing her fatigue, asked softly. Serie nodded, appreciating his thoughtfulness."Yeah, that would be good," she agreed, realizing that some rest might provide some relief. Together,they made their way to the bedroom. Serie settled onto the soft mattress, feeling the weight of exhaustion in her body. As Baekhyun turned to leave, assuming she needed space to rest, she reached out, "Can you stay with me?" her voice filled with a gentle plea. A warmth spread across Baekhyun's face, his eyes softening with affection."Of course I can, sweetheart," he reassured her, recognizing the comfort she sought in his presence. Without hesitation, he joined her on the bed, their bodies finding a cozy spot where they fit together effortlessly. They lay there together, Serie nestled in the crook of Baekhyun's arm, finding comfort in the rhythm of his breathing and they both felt asleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After some time, Baekhyun stirred, the two of them still wrapped in each other's embrace. He leaned down and softly planted a tender kiss on her forehead. Feeling the warmth of his lips, Serie began to wake, her eyes slowly fluttering open. Their gazes met. "Feeling better?" Baekhyun inquired gently. Serie, wrapped in his arms, sighed contentedly. "Hmm, much better." They lingered, cuddled in each other's warmth, a comfortable silence enveloping them. Then, Baekhyun's voice broke the silence. His words were tender and filled with care. "Baby, can I ask you something?" he inquired softly, his eyes searching hers. Serie leaned slightly out of their embrace, her gaze meeting his, curiosity sparkling in her eyes. "Of course, Baekhyun," she responded, her tone gentle and attentive. Baekhyun carefully broached a sensitive topic, his voice filled with genuine curiosity and concern "I couldn't help but notice you've never spoken about your mother. If you're comfortable, would you mind sharing a bit
