Chapter 30 pt. 2

"He's outside on the lawn?" Kyungsoo asked quietly. Chanyeol nodded.

"You better go out to him," Taeyeon said. "He seemed upset and worried about you. It would make him happy to know that you're okay."

Kyungsoo nodded and walked towards the door leading to the terrace. The people in the living room watched after him, until he had closed the glass door behind him. Then they returned to their board game, and Kyungsoo slowly walked down the small hill towards the swimming pool, where he could see Jongdae sitting not far away from it. Jongdae was sitting on a blanket with his back faced to Kyungsoo, so he didn't notice him until Kyungsoo was standing right behind him and he spoke.

"Hi," Kyungsoo said and Jongdae turned with a twitch, a bit startled.

"Oh hi," Jongdae replied and stood up. He walked closer to Kyungsoo. "I am so sorry, Kyungsoo. I didn't mean to forget our anniversary. I don't know what came of me! I am so mad at myself and I really have no excuse! I even planned something, Kyungsoo; the days just flew past so quickly, I don't..." Kyungsoo put his hand in the air, pausing Jongdae from his blabbering speech.

"Don't apologize, Jongdae. I'm the one who's sorry. I don't know why I got so upset. I mean it's only our 9th anniversary, it's no big deal," Kyungsoo said. Jongdae looked shocked.

"What are you talking about? Of course it's a big deal! 9 years of marriage with you! 17 years together as boyfriends! 21 years of knowing each other in general!" Kyungsoo couldn't help but smile at Jongdae's excitement and encouragement. "You do deserve something truly special, Do Kyungsoo. And I'm a jerk for not giving it to you." Then Jongdae smiled proudly at himself. "And yes, I did just figure out how many years we've known each other."

Kyungsoo giggled. "Well done, Jongdae," he applauded.

"But seriously though, Kyungsoo, you deserve something special, and I am so sorry I got caught up in this vacation so I shortly forgot about our anniversary. Can you forgive me?" Jongdae became serious. Kyungsoo took his hand.

"Of course, Jongdae. Now, can you forgive me? I did overreact a bit."

"Of course I can, my love." Jongdae kissed his hand lovingly. "Now sit down, I've prepared you something," he said and gently pulled Kyungsoo down to sit on the blanket. "I'll be right back!" He hurried towards the glass door, leaving Kyungsoo confused as he looked after him. Then he waited for his husband to come back.

Not even five minutes passed, before Jongdae came back with a bucket and a pack of strawberries.

"What's this?" Kyungsoo asked curiously, when Jongdae sat down on the blanket.

"This is champagne and strawberries!" Jongdae announced proudly and Kyungsoo noticed the bottle wrapped in ice cubes inside the bucket. "When you were out, me and Chanyeol contemplated what to do to make it up to you. We decided to drive to the market to buy some champagne and strawberries," he explained.

"Fancy," Kyungsoo commented.

"Yeah... I'm sorry it wasn't my idea though... I just figured it would be nice and romantic..." Jongdae admitted. "Chanyeol can be very romantic, actually."

"That's okay," Kyungsoo said. "I don't care if it wasn't your idea."

Jongdae smiled to him and started figuring out how to open the bottle. Kyungsoo sat slightly back, when Jongdae aimed somewhere far away from them with the bottle in his hands and pushed the cork from the bottle off with a 'plop!'. The champagne foamed from the action and Jongdae had to hold it away from his body, so neither he nor the blanket would get soaked. Kyungsoo laughed at him.

"Shoot! I forgot glasses!" Jongdae remembered, still holding the bottle over the grass. Then he noticed the laughing Kyungsoo and smiled. It warmed up his heart to see Kyungsoo happy again, and he wouldn't miss any sight of it. "Oh well." He shrugged and put the bottle to his lips, tasting the sweet sour flavor of golden champagne.

After he had taken a sip he handed it to Kyungsoo, who tasted too.

"Remember the strawberries!" Jongdae said, taking a strawberry from the package and put it to Kyungsoo's lips, while his husband was holding the champagne bottle with both hands.

"Tastes good," Kyungsoo said and Jongdae smiled. "I'm glad you and Chanyeol came up with this idea." Jongdae beamed at this, but then Kyungsoo said, "But what about the kids?"

"What about them?" Jongdae asked back. "They're in good hands. Everyone is playing a board game or something inside. They're having fun!"

"But what will everyone eat?" Kyungsoo seemed worried. "Who will cook for them?"

Jongdae smiled at his caring husband."You're so sweet," he said. "You don't have to worry about them, Kyungsoo, they're doing fine. You don't have to always look after everyone. They're big kids all of them; some of them can even be considered adults!" Kyungsoo smiled at this, almost laughing. "It's nice that you care so much, but I assure you that they can handle themselves now. And Yixing hyung and Minseok hyung promised that they will make sure Namjoo and Jonghyun eat. They even offered to put them to sleep."

Kyungsoo furrowed his eyebrows. "Why would they do that? Are we going somewhere?"

Jongdae smirked. "No, but they figured we might want some privacy..."

Kyungsoo rolled his eyes, but couldn't help to smile. "I've told you before, Jongdae. I'm not sure I can do that here."

"I know, and I've also told you that I'm fine with that!" Jongdae assured him. "But Minseok hyung and Yixing hyung just thought that maybe just for one night, we didn't want to worry about the kids. Just for one night, we only have to think about ourselves. And I'm not suggesting anything else."

Kyungsoo seemed to be in thought after this, considering. As Kyungsoo still didn't say anything after a while, Jongdae took it as a sign that he liked the idea of not having to worry about others for just one night, but that he just couldn't believe it. Jongdae leaned in slowly and kissed his lips, and Kyungsoo didn't reject it.

"Happy anniversary," Jongdae whispered against his lips.

They stayed outside for some time and at one point they figured that the others must have eaten. The two didn't have anything other than champagne and strawberries, and after an hour of sitting out there, they decided to sneak inside to get something from the kitchen. It was only some of the adults who were sitting in the living room; they told them that the others were off playing with the kids in various rooms. So luckily Kyungsoo and Jongdae could successfully sneak in and out of the house, without having much attention drawn to them.

As they had eaten the sandwiches they'd quickly made, they sat an hour talking about everything and anything outside on the blanket. They had finished up the strawberries and champagne as well, and Jongdae had to admit that he felt a bit tipsy.

They laid down on the blanket, Jongdae's arm around Kyungsoo, and looked at the sky. It was almost ten o'clock and they figured the kids had gone to bed - or at least were in the middle of the usual discussion by bedtime. The couple was kissing, lying on the blanket on the grass under the summer evening sky. Suddenly Jongdae broke the kiss with a smirk. He went closer to the swimming pool.

Kyungsoo raised an eyebrow at him. "What are you doing?"

"Come on," Jongdae just said, motioning towards the water with a nod by his head.

Kyungsoo shook his head. "You're not serious."

"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be? Come on!" Jongdae pleaded with a smile.

Kyungsoo sighed, but stood up, standing beside Jongdae on the edge. "Are you sure?" Jongdae nodded.

"Dead serious!" he yelled and jumped, fully clothed, into the water. Kyungsoo stared at him with wide eyes and somewhat of a grin on his face. He shook his head.

"You're crazy! And drunk!" He laughed, but jumped in as well. The two swum some rounds in the pool, and finally met up in the middle.

"Only drunk in love." Jongdae put a finger under Kyungsoo's chin and he leaned in, kissing him passionately. Kyungsoo didn't pull away, just put his hands on each side of Jongdae's waist and pulled him closer. Jongdae made Kyungsoo wrap his legs around him easily, due to the nonexistent weight under water, and walked towards the edge slowly, leaned up against it, all while never letting go of either Kyungsoo nor separating their lips.

They were both caught up in the moment. Kyungsoo had lost his restrictions, and suddenly Jongdae had pulled his own shirt off and Kyungsoo kissed his bare neck.

When the morning sun arose, the two were lying on the blanket, sleeping, with their arms around each other. Jongdae didn't have a shirt or pants on (only boxer shorts), and Kyungsoo somehow had lost his shirt too. All their clothes were floating around in the water. And Baekhyun couldn't help but laugh slightly when he saw them.

"Good morning," he said with a grin. Jongdae and Kyungsoo slowly opened their eyes, squinting at the bright morning sun.

" 'Morning," Jongdae mumbled. He was kind of hoarse.

"We had a nice night, didn't we?" Baekhyun teased and wiggled his eyebrows, looking at the two sleepyheads and at the clothes floating in the swimming pool.

"Don't," Jongdae mumbled, putting his head back down on the blanket and closed his eyes. They had been awake throughout most of the night and they were both tired. Also the sun was burning straight into their eyes.

"So what did we do?" Baekhyun teased.

"Can you please stop talking in first person plural…? It creeps me out," Kyungsoo said. Baekhyun shrugged.

"We didn't do anything..." Jongdae said. "At least not what you think we did."

"Oh really?" Baekhyun said with a smirk and raised an eyebrow.

"Really!" Jongdae looked at him with a narrow glare and Baekhyun put his arms up in surrender.

"What are you even doing out here?" Jongdae then asked. He looked at the watch Kyungsoo had had around his wrist the evening before. Now it was lying on the blanket. "It's six am in the morning!" he exclaimed and groaned.

"Well, I just figured you wouldn't want your kids to find you half out here when they wake up," Baekhyun said nonchalantly with a shrug. "I thought you didn't want them scarred for life... And also I wanted to be the first to tease you."

A/N: Yay, ChenSoo! I let it be up to you to imagine what they did ;) (in my head they didn't do anything ual, though)
