❝I love you;
_______________________________________________________________________________
                                  - that's more like it -

Taemin parked his Range Rover Sport in front of her apartment entrance door , fixing his hair whilst looking out to the lobby to find her. it's still early and he knows that she'll be hating him for coming here this early. it's 830 in the morning. the fact that he told her he'll be here at 9 makes him laugh under his breath. 

There she is , walking out from the lobby entrance with a frown on her face . he laugh softly 

"i hate you" she mumble when he hop off from his car to the boot and help her with the bag . 

"aw , should i thank you for that?" she frown before he close the boot and smile to her 

"good morning" 

He smile before leaning for a quick peck on her lips making her blush , slowly that frown turn into a smile after the quick peck on her lips. One thing about Taemin and she love the most , he always do things unexpectedly , for example .. the kiss. he'd kiss her during the time she less expect him to do. its always a surprise for her , a good one. 

and yeah , the other one is that he's a good kisser 

They don't kiss as much as most couple people would kiss out there , Jinri doesn't complain about it . she actually like it that they keep it this way. for her , if they ever kiss every day , every minute or even second , she's afraid that she'll get bored of it. it's true, she's afraid that she'll feel nothing but just a normal kiss from him. 

This way , every time he kisses her , there's butterflies in her stomach and it sure feel .. amazing 

"so where are we heading to?" she asked as she fasten the seatbelt. 

"hm .. should we start our deal?" her eyes widened at the smirking guy 

"now? ... what's in your mind huh big boy? you sneaky guy! what do you have in your mind?!" he laughs when she jokingly cup his face with her one hand and patted it before sitting up straight and look at him

"nothing.. nothing. you said we'll figure it out later" 

"then why are you smirking!" he laughs at the loud Jinri and smile . he misses this , he's glad to finally be able to spend more time with her after 2 months. 

"do you know how much i've learned about you for the past months we're together?" he started out whilst facing her , resting his arm on the steering wheel before making a huge circle sign with his arms making Jinri chuckle

"that much?" she ask as he nods

"but there's one thing i've never seen it from you" he mumured softly before staring straight to her 

"what?" 

"you never look sad nor cry hard in front of me" she scoff before looking out to the window , avoiding him 

"do you want me to cry til my eyes turn red and puffy?" he chuckle as he shake his head

"not that i want you to cry , i just can't imagine how you'll look or react when you're crying that way" 

"i don't cry , i mean i do , but that was long time ago. there's no reason for me to cry now. i'm a big girl" she smile 

"yeah you are, but i've seen once .. but you were smiling instead" he cup her face gently with a smile before gently caress it , staring right to her eyes making her heart flutters , butterflies in her stomach knowing how gently and sweet he is , she did not really expecting this from Taemin , not right from the start where he's just a cool kind of guy . 

She never look at him as this sweet and gently before. and now she knows that he is more than what she expected. 

"so , where do you want to go? straight to Southlea?" he asked after he left his hand from hers , went back to the steering wheel. 

"i don't mind , take me anywhere you want" he chuckle at the way she smile , smirking at some point . 

"okay ma'am" 

They stops at some place that's near to Southlea , it took them pretty long to get there as there's a lot of cars , and the traffic was hectic which Taemin didn't expect it at all , he came here in less than an hour and now it took them almost 2 hours to get there . And the way he look at Jinri , the fact that she kept yawning and sighing makes him thought that she's tired.

"do you want anything? i'm going to buy some pastries and a cup of coffee.. tea?" he asked as he unbuckle his seatbelt

Jinri turn around a little bit and wrap her arms together as she lean her head on the seat , smiling softly at her guy who looks so handsome right now even though he had been brushing his hair with his fingers quite sometimes. It gets messy , but it looks so much better like that on him

"a cup of tea would do" she mumble softly 

Taemin chuckle at his tired looking girlfriend as she tried to prevent herself from sleeping , he patted her lap once before hop off from his car and asked Jinri to lock it . So she did or else he won't leave the place which really made Jinri smile

It took him a while to come back from the cafe , Jinri did fall asleep once he was gone because she couldn't take it anymore , the fact that he got to her house earlier than what she thought he'd be and now she is slowly falling asleep. 

a soft knock was heard making her jolt a little , seeing outside to see Taemin holding two cups in his hands and a plastic bag hanging on his wrist. Jinri quickly unlock the doors and let him get it , helping him with the bag and rest back on the seat , eyes half opened making him laugh softly 

"i guess it's my fault for coming and pick you up early" he mumble before taking a sip of his hot coffee 

"finally , you realised it" she mumble with her eyes closed , again gaining a soft chuckle from her boyfriend. 

"just sleep , i'll wake you up once we've arrived" he mumble softly before driving off to continue their journey to Southlea

"Minho" Soojung patted on the sleeping Minho when she felt something strange in her baby tummy

Her husband just hummed before roll over towards her , blinking few times before finally open his eyes to meet his wife who's trying to fight the slight pain. He quickly got up when he realised that she's in pain . He is fully awake when he sit up straight and have his hand on her back for some support

"are you okay?" he asked , worried about his wife

"i'm f-fine . it's just a slight pain" she murmured but looking down and eyes closed 

Minho doesn't know what to do , he look back and forth , right and left before back to his wife , gently rub her back. He genuinely doesn't know anything and worried sick as this is their first time though Soojung knows some things more than him because she'd read some books about pregnancy and clearly he did not 

"is it okay now?" he ask and Soojung slowly nod her head 

They are close to the due date , the baby bump is so big that they thought they'd get a twins or triplets or something. A month to go , or probably more than a month but it's so near that both of them are excited and nervous at the same time. 

"it happened before .. right?" he asked once she eases down a little 

She nods before looking up to him , that he realised that she had felt this before when he was not around. It makes him feel so bad for leaving her behind . as right now , they are getting closer to the due date , he decided to take 2 months break from his work though Soojung really against it. 

She even cried a little when they argued about this , she did . It was an arguement but it was never a bad one , Minho knows her well plus she's pregnant .. he knows that pregnant woman always emotional even with a small thing. 

She accepted it eventually , and he promised to himself and to her that he will take care of her until she deliver the baby . 

Taemin is more than excited when Minho told him about Soojung and the pregnancy , the baby and everything. The fact that Minho wants him to be his first child's godfather and even asked for Jinri to be the godmother , but Taemin hasn't told her yet , he will one day. 

Minho and Soojung keep the gender as a secret , they want it to know the gender once she'd deliver the baby and welcome him or her wholeheartedly. Whether it's a girl or a boy , they wouldn't mind at all. after all , it's their child. 

"hmm .. i'm up" he mumble , looking to his left to see the alarm clock showing 9 in the morning.

"sorry for waking you up" Soojung mumble softly at his side before gently get up onto her feet. 

He chuckle softly as he look at his wife walking off to the bathroom with the fluffy slipper of hers . 

"i'll make the breakfast then" said Minho before rushing down to the kitchen 

✈

"Jinri .. babe.." she jolted even though Taemin called her softly , tapping her lap softly 

She hum before blinking few times , looking up to him . He chuckle as he look at her sleepy face 

"oh god" she cover her face with her palm making him laughing softly at her . cute 

"are we here already?" she look out the window to see his parent's house , the one that she adores so much . 

"yeah , here , drink this up . it's cold already" he give her the tea that he bought for her , she didn't drink any single sip of it because she just fell asleep once he drive off from the rest area. 

Taemin unlock the car and let her get off first but she didn't . She pick up some of the plastics to put in the garbage and the cups , making sure there's no rubbish in this car . She turn back to see him trying to reach out for something , squinting her eyes a little and saw a tiny white plastic bag . she knows exactly what plastic it was , and it gets more suspicious when he quickly hide it under his jacket when he'd reach out the plastic

"what is that" as always , she'd ask . being a straight forward girl sometimes scares her 

It happens before where she asked a random guy about something and it actually made the guy mad and how his expression was so scared , it makes her want to scream and run . The guy didn't beat her , but he told her to back off.. 

"w-what?" he asked , stuttered

"i-i'm sorry to ask.. i.. i didn't mean to s-" 

"it's fine.." he mumble softly as he slowly pull out the bag that's under his jacket

It's true , she know it must be something about medicines. a part of her say it's not his , but the other part says it's his.. 

"is it yours?" she asked , worried 

"no .. actually these are for my dad" though she felt relieved when he said no , she's still worried when he said it was actually for his dad. 

"it's a long story .. " he just mumble before looking up and saw hi
