Moon Young Jae tried to find warmth to cuddle more only to realise that the bed was cold. He reached out for his phone only to find there was no notification. There was a sad smile. It was not that he hoped for a miracle to happen and his family to call and apologise. He got used to it. The phone was showing 10:14 am. Irrespective of having slept for long, he still felt tired. Maybe because he was emotionally drained, dragging his protesting-tired body to his boyfriend's washroom, he got freshen up.
The term boyfriend bought all the warmth to his heart and made him feel happy. Stealing his boyfriend's t-shirt, which fits him perfectly from the wardrobe, Young Jae walked to the hall.
The scene in the hall made him feel love and warmth. His cousin sister Moon Chin Sun was watching an English series with Yang Ming Jee and his best friend, Kim Shin. Chin Sun asking about the meaning of the English word she didn't know and Ming Jee explaining it with patience bought a smile.
Shaking his head, he decided to find the love of his life so that he can complain about not liking waking up to cold bed to his heart content. The gears in his head were running faster to find a way to punish his boyfriend as he set out to find him.
He found his boyfriend in the kitchen with half-eaten carrot tightly gasped between his lips and copping… scallions?
Ah! Ming Jee wanted Kimchi, and she was nagging his boyfriend yesterday.
With a happy sigh, he slowly sneaked on his boyfriend whose attention was on the scallions.
Snaking his arms around Min-Jun's hip, he was disappointed by his boyfriend's lack of startle reaction. Min Jun turned only to give a soft peck on his lip and turned back to place the scallions in a bowl.
Young Jae refused to let go of his boyfriend as Min Jun tried to move to the fridge. He was adamantly clinging on to his boyfriend as an unsaid punishment for leaving him alone in the cold bed.
Min Jun engaged his boyfriend's clinginess with a chuckle and took a cold coffee from the fridge. Taking the cold coffee from him love Min Jun, Young Jae smiled. It made him feel giddy as his boyfriend always caters to his needs without even a request from him.
Min Jun went back to chopping, but this time it was cabbage, and Young Jae hurried behind him for the hug.
Right hand holding cold coffee, his left hand snaked around his lover's waist and left cheek pressed on his boyfriend's broad shoulder, Young Jae hugged his man tighter. Cold on his right hand contradicted with the warmth he was feeling through his body. He felt safe and home.
Without even realising, he blurted out what was in his head. "Min Min, You are always warm, and I don't want to let go of the warmth."
He couldn't help but scold himself an idiot for the lack of control, only to hear a soft laugh.
"Who asked you to let go then? After all, I am all yours…" Min Jun said as indulging as he had always been.
"Be aware of what you say. You are encouraging me to be possessive and clingy… Then you can't even complain in future about it…" Young Jae couldn't help but scold him even though it came out with adorable affection.
Having a couple of sips from his cold coffee, Young Jae kept the mug on the kitchen counter. He wanted to properly back hug and snuggle into his boyfriend's warmth.
"When have I ever complained about you, 'my dear tokki'?" Min Jun asked teasingly knowing how his boyfriend, cringes at the name.
The body attached to Min Jun like a glue a minute ago moved away from him in an instant. An unruly fist started to hit Min Jun on the shoulder, which did not cause any harm. But the perpetrator frowned at the lack of reaction and chose to use a spatula kept on the kitchen counter.
Min Jun glared at the offending object, spatula with a distaste. He held the hand, attempting to hit him. Young Jae tried to pry his right hand by his left hand from his love's hold only to let his left hand be captured as well.
With both his hand being imprisoned on either side of his body with a firm grip but surprisingly not painful, he glared at Min Jun. His face was turning red in anger and embarrassment.
"Wang Min Jun!!! Let me go…" Young Jae failed to sound angry. He huffed when a specific irritating person who dared to laugh at him.
"You, becoming red in angry at me only wants me to make your face turn red for so many other reasons…" with the playful glint Min Jun inched his head close to his 'tokki'…
Whose eyes were wide with a surprised-shock. How did the plan to complain and punish his boyfriend turn into this?
Young Jae's face was competing with the cherry tomato and lips shivering with anticipation. Definitely for so many other reasons his boyfriend just mentioned...
