Chapter 41: For the first time in forever.

The Heart Never Forgets


You were smiling in your sleep. 
Familiar hands were around you. 
You had a beautiful dream last night. 
You dreamt that you lived with Daehyun and had two kids. 
And he was teasing you the whole time as the whole family baked a cake together. 


You gave a giggle, it was unconciously a sound you thought you made in your dreams, ended up realising you gave a giggle too. 
You suddenly felt warm skin around your lips. 
It was plump and soft. 
It was moving with yours. 
It was teasing your lips. 
Slow and sensual. 
You found your lips growing wider in response. 
"M-mor-ning.. " you managed to mumble through the kiss. 
You felt him smiling too. 

His arms moved lowered down your body frame and with a firm tug, you were up against his chest. 
You used your hands and pull his head closer to you. 
He ran his fingers through your messy hair. 

Then... the sound of smacking lips grew silent as both of you lose your breath. 
You gently open your eyes, taking time to let the whoozy and dizzy surrounding settle. 
There wasn't much anyways, it was just him in your vision now. 

For the first time in forever, he was finally beside you. 
You're going to fight for a war, but more importantly, he is here. 
Beside you. 

He was grinning. His eyes glittered with love, like sequins on your dress, full of shine and sparkle. 
You let your curious finger traced his face. 
You let them feel his eyebrows, his cheekbones, his nose, his jawline. 
And his lips. 
He gave a smile when you reached his lips, " I miss you too. " He said it barely audible. 
But that's the thing about love, you don't need to speak loudly to get the message across. 
You understand the meaning behind the words even if it was a whisper. 


You smiled and closed your eyes.
Your hands that was already around his waist were used to pull you in closer and you snuggled up against his chest. 
You feel the beating of his heart. 
It was so serene and calm. 
It was... love. 
Sound of love too. 


"Did you sleep well ? " His hoarse morning voice caused vibrations across his chest, and you felt it. 
His fingers were still running through your hair. 
It was as if he was handling a gentle glass figurine. 
Every touch of his was so delicate and full of love. 

You nodded lightly. 

"You?" 
You pushed your head upwards to meet his eyes. 
They were half-lidded. Absolutely adorable. 

He smiled and pecked the top of your head. 
"Never better. " 


You giggled, " Shall we get up?" you asked without wanting to comply. 
It felt so nice to be sleeping beside him. 

He grinned, " Do you want to? " 

You shook your head and fall back into his embrace like a little girl hugging her teddy bear. 
He gave a low chuckle. 
"Silly girl." 
He used his thumb to lightly and tenderly carressed the skins of your shoulder. 
It was a warm and slow touch, full of love. 

"Only silly when I'm with you. " you teased. 

He chuckled and pulled you in tighter. 

"I like the sound of that. " 


Silence took over the remaining of the conversations. 
Both of you appreciated the silence that both of you are sharing in that moment. 
It felt so right, it felt so warm. 

Your mind was so tempted to relive the past pain and fears. 
But with him in your arms, everything felt so right. 
It was as if you wouldn't be half surprised if pigs floated across his windows with wings. 

"Yeon-ah.. " he broke the silence. 
It sounded so nice for him to call you that. 

"I can't stay in for too long. " 

That word struck you.

 
"Why? " You pouted. 

(Remember that I set Christmas as Wednesday? -Today is Thursday... 
in reality too xD) 

He gave an upset look, " I have performance later. " 

That tasted bitter. Real bitter. 
You know you were in for such reality, but it taste so bad now. 

"What time? " you tried to put across quick so he wouldn't catch that upsetness in your tone. 
You were being childishly angry, but.. it felt so upsetting. 
Especially, more to the deja vuu side...  
(Chapter 2) 

He chuckled, "10am. " 

You gave a grunt as you fight against gravity and get up to peep at his clock. 
"Ughhh... Ahh... We have two hours. " 
You gave him a raised eyebrow and a sweet smile. 
He chuckled, " Hey, you're up early for a change. " you , as you tried to scramble back under the covers. 

He grinned as he let you back into his embrace. 
" I've been up since seven and staring at you. " 

You raised your eyebrows at him again, " Creepy much? " 

He burst into smiles, " I remembered someone did that too.. " he pinched your nose. 

You found yourself blushing as you recalled kissing him while he was asleep that night. (chapter 2) 
"Aigooo.. you're so adorable when you blush, I should tease you more to see you blush. " 
"Don't! " You widen your eyes and point a finger at him. 

He tried to control the breaking of another wide grin, but failed and eventually went with hugging you tighter. 
"I didn't hear anything! I didn't hear!~~ " 

You giggled. 

" Pabo. " 

It sounded more like a compliment. 

"Only yours. " 

"Hey!"  he exclaimed after some time. 
He hurriedly got up and grabbed something from the side table. 
You got up with him, and he firmly turned you around. 
He draped his hands above and in front of you, and soon, in sight, you knew what he was doing. 
He softly voiced, " I thought that we were missing something from the present. " 

You giggled, but you immediately stopped yourself. 
Sometimes Daehyun can get too over with his cheesy words. 
"Yeah, your present! " You turned around and smack his chest. 
You helped him with the necklace. 

"Me... " he pointed to himself. 
" I am your christmas present. " 
"Pabo! " You gave him a fake frown as you clasp the necklace. 

"Only yours! " 
He cheekily replied as he pushed you back down the bed and tickled you. 
"St-Stop!!! " You were laughing uncontrollably! 
"Tell me that you love me! " 
"Y-you're s-so c-childish!!! " you refused to complied. 
He tickled harder. 
"Okayokay! 
I love you i love you i love you! " 

He finally stopped and gave you an innocent look. 

" Me tooo! " he sanged. 






Finally both of you decided to get up. 
You went to grab a new toothbrush for yourself. 
"Yah... don't don't, take mine. " 
He wiped his mouth dry as he shoved his toothbrush to you. 

" Ewww.... " you gave him a face of disgust. 

"What? " 

"I am not going to share with you! " 
You haughtily walked into the bathroom like a princess. 
He chuckled, " Why? We share saliva when we kiss too! " he tried to reason his way out. 

" You're disgusting. " 
You scoffed as you shoved the mint covered tooth brush in your mouth and start to brush. 
"Aigooo... " he pinched your cheeks as you brushed your teeth. 
You threw him an annoyed look. 

"Okayokay... " he brought up two hands as if to surrender. 
He took out his shaving cream and started spreading across his chin, below his nose, everywhere just missing his lips. 
You couldn't help but steal a glance. 
You almost forgot your mouth was full of toothpaste. 
His lips pulled into a grin, and you immediately realised and started to brush even more vigorously to hide your "sin" and spit out the toothpaste almost instantly. 

" I like it when you're like this Jaki.. " 
He teased as you witness his hand reached for the shaver. 

"Pshhh.. Like what... You're silly Daehyun. " 
He shrugged his shoulders




You let your eyes follow his hand movements. 
From the top of the cream, in a downward motion. 
You watched the white stuff disappear from his face. 
And.. for some odd reasons, he looks absolutely charming. 
He deposited the cream in the sink with a couple of knocks against the ceramic sink as he took a glance at you peering eyes. 

" First time seeing this? " he asked casually. 
You really hate him teasing. 

" For the first time in forever, " you played with him, bring your fingers to your chin as you rubbed against your chin, 
"You look manly. " You gave a smirk. 

" Yah! " He throw you a playful glare. 
"You're going to regret that so much. " 

But.. honestly you're enjoying so much. 
Soon, his hand reached for a white towel, and you watch him pat his chin and mouth dry. 




He gave you a smirk, " Hey... you can't stare at me too long. I'll get shy. " 

You gave a fake chuckle, " Who's staring at you?? " 
You hurriedly tried to walk out. 

" You haven't wash your face! " he yelled. 

You stopped short in your tracks. 
You spinned yourself around and walked back in. 


You pouted and embarrassed looked at the white sink as you reached for the face wash. 
He chuckled and gave you a peck. 
"I'll make breakfast for us. " 

And he left. 

You hurriedly rubbed the face wash against your face and rinse it off. 

You took a longer time to stare at your reflection. 
"This is just like our dream. " you found yourself saying. 

Waking up with Daehyun next to you. 
Doing morning routines with him. 
Have him or you making breakfast. 
Off to work. 
And come home to see each other again. 
Occasional dates. 

 " That's more than enough. " you reminded yourself. 

It is a common fault to be drown in the present blessing and eventually greed may appear and strip you off this happiness as you desire more. 
You will not expect him to give you all his time. 
You will be an understanding girlfriend. 

" Jaki! " 
His voice broke your thoughts.  

"Coming! " 
You hurriedly set the towel back in place and went out. 

He had really prepared breakfast. 
It was just plain toast, but he had fried scrambled eggs added with herbs and cheese. 
He beamed proudly as he present this to you. 

You gave a smirk, as you crossed your arms across your chest. 
"Very.. Well.. " you nodded your head as you said that. 

He chuckled and ushered you to your seat. 

"Coffee? " 
You nodded. 

He came back with two cups of coffee and set them on the coasters. 

"Oh, where are the rest? " 

He replied without looking up, " They knew we will be sleeping in, so they took a night at the hotel they partied. "
You nodded. 

"Dae... that's enough for you? " 
He glanced up.. 
His face scrunged up, " Diet. " 
That four-lettered word sounds so.. ughs. 
You gave a pitiful stare back. 
" Take mine, just eat more for breakfast. " 

He pouted and bit his lips. 
" I can't... I promised to be on diet. 
The Babyz wa.... " he cut his words short. 
He hurriedly added, " I promised manager hyung. " 

You bit your lips. 
" Just eat... " you said softly but firmly. 
 

You stood up to wash rice and set them inside the ricecooker.
You cut some meat and threw it into a boiling water and added some spices and kimchi. 


Soon, you were done and gave him his share. 
You took a tiny bowl. 

"Yah... " he glared at that miserable bowl of rice. 

" Diet. " You gave an embarrassed laugh. 
You wanted him to eat more. 

" Just eat... " he imitated you. 

You found yourself smiling. 

" Okay... " 
He scooped more rice for you and added some of your stew into your rice. 

(He had finished both of your toast and egg. ) 

" Dae... " 
He was still eating enthusiatically. 
You were just looking at him. 

" This feels like we're married. "  you gave a silly laugh at your comment. 

He chuckled and set his bowls down. " Get used to this, I will marry you eventually, so it wouldn't be any different. " 
He winked at you and took his bowl up. 

You found yourself blushing so badly as you bit your lips. 

" Pabo.. " 

This word sounds more like a compliment the more you use to describe him. 
Your pabo. 





Soon breakfast was finished, and he insisted on cleaning the bowls. 
You just sat on the kitchen chair and stared at his back view. 


 A sudden urge crept up on you 
You found yourself walking to him and wrapping your arms around his waist and leaning against his sturdy back. 

He gave a chuckle and still continued washing. 

"Bored...? " his tone was like talking to a child. 
You would have scolded him for that but... 


"No.. " you replied softly. 

He was about to ask you another question.
You interrupted him. 


" I just feel like hugging you. " 
You said simply. 

" Cause for the first time in forever, I have the guts to stand up, walk to you and tell you how much I love you. 
For the first time in forever, I have the courage to give you a hug when I want to. 
I don't know how long willl this moment will last. 
But all I know now is just that  I wanna hug you. " 

And for the first time in forever, you can say such words to him. 
And you didn't cry. 
It felt so blissful at that moment. 

You know he was probably grinning. 


He took off the pink gloves and hung them across the edge of the sink. 

He turned around and hug you proper. 
"Me too dear, me too. " 
He patted your head and bend his head down slightly to  bury them at the crook of your neck. 

" I know, " he firmly added, " We are stronger this time. " 

"And.. I just want you, that's it. I have no other plans in my head. " 

You smiled, " That was my plan too. " 

He chuckled and gave you a quick peck on the cheek. 
"Go and pack your stuff or something, I'm leaving soon. " 

He turned back around and started washing the remaining bowls. 





Soon, both of you prepapred to leave. 
He pulled you back, " Number first. " 

He passed you his phone. 
" I had such a hard time because I don't have your number. " he grinned. 
There was no hint of sadness. 
That's what you love about Daehyun. 
He could be emotional at times, but he always look at the bright side of things. 

You grinned and punched in your numbers. 

"I'll leave first... Bye yeobbo! " 
He stole a peck on your lips and ran off first. 


You watched his back view leave your sight. 
As the elevator door close and you let him leave your sight. 

You glanced at your phone clock and after fifteen minutes, you took your leave. 


You head outside and hailed for a cab. 
You lead it back to your apartment. 


You opened the doors and set your stuff down. 
You changed your clothes and head back out. 
You wanted to meet the rest of the B.A.P members. 
Now that you have passed Daehyun his present, - and as you thought of this, you the ring in your hand and the necklace around your neck-, you wanted to pass B.A.P theirs too. 
You found their presents and head to the TS Entertainment with packets of food. 
It was near noon and you weren't sure if they had left for M! Countdown. 




"You! " A familiar voice yelled at you. 
You turned around, and you gasped.

Chapter 51: Mangie is a nice sasaeng, but still a sasaeng... Though she chose the wrong person because she should be after purplegyu... I need to tell her.

Ahahah I'm not confused at all because I know who was talking with who (or more accurately I guessedit because you haven't told me anything) but it's nice not to say it now.

Ahahah maybe Dae was just hungry and he wanted to go to a late night restaurant and now his.

Chapter 50: Is it this chapter confusing people ? Case it's not really confusing. It's totally normal Jiyeon doesn't feel good enough to be revealed as Daehyun's boyfriend, when we all know how fans usually react when you tell them their biases have girlfriends. And it's a happy ending.. Well a happy ending chapter okay, but still it's fluffy and stuff and it's adorable and you just want to hug them both because they're adorable (... yeah yeah more than I am XD).

I look forward to reading the next chapters, cause right now there are some black holes I need to understand ^.^'
