° gong yoo & hakyeon's

@gong yoo of course i do, hyung. you’re honestly so sweet to me. /smiling softly when your lips meet mine, i hike siyeon up on my waist before i slip away, sinking into the rocking chair to attend to siyeon, casting a quick glance up to you and lift a hand to wave to you with siyeon cradled on my belly
i’ll be done soon, im sure. you be careful out there, okay? i love you, hyung.

@cha hakyeon I'm glad that you do, Yeon-ah. I was hoping you would. /with Siyeon reaching out for you, and you taking her into your arms, I take the opportunity to wind another arm about you and place a proper kiss on your lips; when you move away to go to the rocking chair, I give a small shake of my head/ I'm just making sure our daughter doesn't end up with too high ideals about me. I like the sound of that though, Yeon-ah, you know I do, so I'll go handle cleaning up the kitchen and our dishes.

@gong yoo it's a wonderful gift, hyung. i love it. i really, really do. /rising up a little on my toes,i manage to press a kiss to the corner of your mouth; the second siyeon is reaching out for me, im quick to drop back down to the flat of my feet and scoop siyeon from my arms with a little coo, holding her to my chest with a little sway as i step toward the rocking chair in the corner of siyeon's room
im not just talking you up. im giving compliments where they're due. now i'll get siyeon to sleep, and then we can have some alone time. how's that?

@cha hakyeon Yeon-ah, I just wanted to give a gift to my fiance. /with you winding your arms about me, your belly between us to the point I can feel our sons kicks against my own stomach, I hold you close; looking to Siyeon as you turn your attention to her and she pulls her thumb out of to reach out for you, I give a small shake of my head in response/ Your mother is just talking me up because I did something nice. Yeon-ah, I don't want you to have to be on your feet that much. I'll take care of the kitchen if you want to see if our little princess will sleep.

@gong yoo oh hyung... you're so thoughtful, you know. /shaking my head a little, the softest of laughs leaves my lips, and i reach to wind both of my arms about you, squeezing you in a tight hug before i turn my attention briefly to siyeon, placing a kiss on her forehead and brushing a hand over her head while speaking to her before my attention goes back to you
siyeon-ah, you have such a lovely father, you know. he's truly an angel. hyung, shall i see about getting siyeon to bed soon? or shall i clean up in the kitchen?

@cha hakyeon Well... /my voice trails off and I exhale along with it, the words taken from me as I wait for you to open the door; the moment you do, Porkchop is there to wind between your feet, happy to see you as he brushes against your ankles; coming over to you myself, I shift Siyeon in my arms to carry her in one arm and bring my other arm around you in my best effort at a hug/ It's not done just yet, but I thought it would be nice if you didn't have to worry about painting the walls or putting any of the furniture together.

@gong yoo what do you mean? /with a hand resting on my belly, our son kicking just under my fingers, i look from you to the door, then take the few shuffling steps to open the door to the nursery; my concern for porkchop is gone the second my eyes fall upon the nearly finished nursery, and it's clear you've been working on it; stepping into the room, i look around, amazed, before my gaze falls back on you, and there's a wide smile on my face and my eyes are glassy
hyung..

@cha hakyeon /following behind you, I hold my breath on the small chance that somehow Porkchop had got himself closed into Siyeon's room; as you open the door, my gaze falls toward the floor but there's no sign of Porkchop running toward you and your feet; with my hope abandoned, I inhale softly through my nose, glancing over to Siyeon first as if for strength while she seems more busy with her thumb; when I look back to you, it's with a lopsided smile/ I was hoping for it to be a surprise.

@gong yoo you're a silly man, my jicheol-ah. /shaking my head playfully, i make my way to siyeon's room, expecting to see porkchop run from the room the second the door opens, but i dont, and instead i peer into the room while stepping in, making little calling noises for the cat before i hear another meow from the doors separating the nursery, which i believe is unfinished, and siyeon's room
hyung, how did porkchop get in there?

@cha hakyeon I still think it's beautiful and charming. /when it's clear I've lost the fight, you already up and handling Siyeon's sippy cup, I opt to clean up our daughter's face and then free her from her highchair to hold her in my arms, intent on following you when I know you're about to discover the surprise that I was trying to hide as long as possible so that it would be finished, and though I agree that it's okay, I quietly hold Siyeon against my side and rise to follow after you toward her room and the adjoining nursery/

@gong yoo even so, its silly for me to be blushing all of the time. /shaking my head a little, i gently pluck the sippy cup from siyeon's little hands right when it seems like it's about to be launched from her hands, my motherly instincts kicking in as i waddle to the kitchen, setting the cup in the sink before i look over to you as i begin making my way toward siyeon's room
it's alright, hyung. im already up. i'll be right back, okay?

@cha hakyeon But you're still beautiful. /the sound makes me a little panicked, knowing that more than likely I accidentally closed him in our son's nursery, the freshly painted walls, the assembled crib and changing table, and the rocker recliner plenty of evidence that I had been working on it while you were away; when you push yourself up I hesitate, about to launch myself from the table, though I fear that would only be all the more suspect/ Maybe. Are you sure you don't want me to go take a look, Yeon-ah? You can stay with our little princess.

@gong yoo its embarrassing, silly. /shaking my head a little, i watch over siyeon fondly while my hands brush over my belly, humming softly to our son who seems eager to be home, kicking lightly upon hearing your voice; as i hear the yowl, my brows furrow, tuna peering up from over the couch upon hearing his brother's meow, and i slowly manage to push myself up from the chair, a hand still on my belly
maybe he got locked in siyeon's room? let me go check on him.

@cha hakyeon You're just as beautiful when you blush, Yeon-ah. /as we eat, I finish with my plate and lean back in my chair, admiring you across the table before I turn my attention to Siyeon; our daughter is happy to tip her sippy cup to the last drop, though I keep an eye out all the same for one less thing we might have to clean after; at the mention of the cats, I hesitate, realizing that Porkchop should be out here with us, at worst sleeping on the couch if not sitting beside the high chair to see if any errant food might come his way; as if on cue, there's an almost yowling meow from down the hall/ I... guess he isn't napping.

@gong yoo you're going to make me blush, hyung. /even as i speak, i dip my head, a faint blush rising to my cheeks before i lift my hand once more; taking note of you not eating much of your rice, i remind myself to make sure not to go too heavy on the more unhealthy foods when cooking for us in the future; smiling to you, i shake my head a little, then quickly nod as you speak of what's in order for the night, a soft hum leaving my lips as i look to siyeon
i think that's perfect. as soon as siyeon goes down for bed, i'll have to spend some time with our little kitties, too. i've seen tuna -- do you think porkchop is just napping?

@cha hakyeon But that's not the point, Yeon-ah. It's still something you do. /while Siyeon is still occupied, I eat, quick to finish my fish and vegetables, my rice eaten sparingly as I consider the fact I'll be acting again before too long and I'll need to be in shape; watching you rub your belly brings a fond smile to my lips, the corners of my eyes crinkling as I watch you/ My poor Yeon-ah. Tonight it sounds like a good massage and cuddles are in order. I'll need to have a little heart-to-heart with our son too after this long.

@gong yoo but its nothing much more special than anything else i do, you know. /shaking my head a little, i watch you for a long moment, entranced by your figure before i dip my head to continue eating what remains on my plate, humming softly through bites and smiling to you with a small little shake of my head, only to pause and nod, my hand rubbing over my belly
he's been wonderful. nothing too crazy, though im sore and im tired all of the time. he missed you, though. he missed you a lot.

@cha hakyeon What you do is plenty special to me, every day, Yeon-ah. /the near slip brings a grin to my face, though I wouldn't admit that I had nearly done the same not that long ago; with Siyeon preoccupied by her cup, I bring a hand to my hair, fingers brushing through before I return to eating, the fish slowly growing cold but still flavored well enough-- thankfully/ High praise coming from my beautiful fiance. Has our son been behaving, Yeon-ah?

@gong yoo its not like i do anything special. i just love my hus-- fiance and daughter as i should. /smiling softly even through my stumble of words, i brush a hand over siyeon's head as she takes the sippy cup and begins drinking it, and once i sit i look over to you, a hand resting on my belly and brushing slowly over it while i cant seem to take my eyes off of you
you're so handsome, hyung.

@cha hakyeon Of course he loves you. /the feel of your lips greeting my forehead is an affectionate gesture I hadn't expected, and though I miss the opportunity just yet to show similar affection to you and to our unborn child, I focus on our daughter while you fill her cup for her; as she eats, needing the occasional wipe of her lips to keep from leaving too much food spilling everywhere, I look up when you return/ Your eomma takes such good care of us, doesn't he, Siyeon-ah? Oh-- Yeon-ah, you don't need to do that for me. I'll just eat while she drinks.

@gong yoo good, im glad he loves me very much. i dont know what i would do otherwise. /smiling softly, i watch you with an adoring gaze while you seem to drink in this moment with us together at home at last, and i take a moment before rising from my seat with only a little bit of struggle before pressing a kiss to siyeon's forehead, then come to brush your hair back from your forehead, pressing a similarly affectionate kiss to your forehead and heading out of the room to grab a sippy cup of water for her and coming back to gently place it in her hands, gesturing to your food
take some time to eat, hyung. i'll feed siyeon once she finishes her drink.

@cha hakyeon Your silly man loves you very, very much. /when Siyeon seems to take a particularly long moment, more than likely just playing with the puree on her tongue, I opt to take a couple more bites of my fish; my eyes fall shut for a moment as I consider the peace of having you both home, everything seeming to be settled after such a long time of disorder; looking back to Siyeon, I smile at our daughter, coming to feed her another bite and then offer a glance back your way/ That's a good idea, Yeon-ah. We'll be right here.

@gong yoo mhm, my silly man. and i love my silly man very, very much. /as i speak between bites, smiling up at you as i chew with such an adoring gaze; while i eat, i watch you with siyeon, a soft hum leaving my lips as i tip my head to watch you, sitting back a little as i reach out to ghost my fingers over the top of siyeon’s head as she looks to you
i know you will, hyung. i know. let me go get a drink for siyeon.

@cha hakyeon I'm your silly man, more specifically. /as I feed our daughter, and myself after every few mouthfuls she indulges in, I steal a glance over you; there's something very pleasing about watching you eat for yourself and for the sake of our son, and I find myself distracted a moment just by the sight; looking back to our daughter, I use a napkin to lightly dab at her lips and cheek to clean up some of the puree smeared against her skin/ You know that I will always do these things for you, Yeon-ah. Before it was different, but that was before.

@gong yoo you're a silly man. i missed hearing you say such silly things. /caught up in eating, whether its the fish, vegetables, or rice, im eager to feed myself and our son, something so drastically different that its clear im really buckling down on this, doing it right for our son who the doctors say is just a little underweight and size; looking up at you, then to siyeon as she waves, i cant help but smile
but you have to know, this isnt something im used to. in general, at least. from you, yes.

@cha hakyeon Then I will, if I get to have that treat. /smiling to you, I pause in feeding Siyeon to take a bite of my own meal, flaking the fish and gathering up a floret of broccoli to chew and eat between taking care of the little princess, who waves her arms, either for attention or sheerly out of the ability to do so/ I'm glad you think so, Yeon-ah. You really should stop thanking me for everything though, hm? I'm doing what any man would do for his family-- or should do, at least.

@gong yoo maybe i'll treat you, and let you carry me to bed once siyeon's down for bed. /my gaze is playful when i look up at you, reaching for my fork to carefully take a bite of the food, humming from flavor and just from enjoyment of the moment, sinking back in my chair a little and brushing my hand over the dome of my belly before taking another bite
ooh-- eomma and aegi are definitely loving this, huh little miracle boy? hyung, really-- thank you for this. really.

@cha hakyeon Which is a shame, because I know that I could. /seating myself at the table, I quietly take the spoon from you, urging you to eat while I see about getting Siyeon to finish off what's left of her dinner while my own sits for a moment; as I manage to get her to eat, I look over toward you with a fond smile/ Eat up, Yeon-ah. You can tell me if it needs anything. I'm hoping I seasoned it well enough.

@gong yoo hyung, you have to know i wouldnt let you do that. /shaking my head a little, i sigh as i look you over, rolling my eyes a little as i turn my attention to siyeon to begin feeding her; while she seems so occupied with watching you, i manage to get a good amount of food in her system before you come back with the food for us, and i nod in agreement with you, smiling softly as i prop my chin on my hand
i agree. its really nice-- honestly, i think as soon as we put siyeon down after dinner, it's time for a nice long cuddle.

@cha hakyeon Yeon-ah, if you would let me I'd even carry you to bed tonight. /murmuring quietly, when I leave you with the food for Siyeon, I bow above you, pressing a light kiss to your hair and the crown of your head while giving your arm a small squeeze; when I leave your side to return to the kitchen, I busy myself with plating our meals as cleanly and artfully as possible without making you wait too long; with you as far along with our son as you are, I make sure to give you the larger of the two salmon steaks and a slightly larger portion of the steamed vegetables; returning to the table, I set your place in front of you and then my own in front of the seat to the other side of the highchair while putting out the utensils for us both/ It's nice just to have my family back home.
