Jaemin loves Sundays.
A little because he gets to sleep in (though he could do that most days anyway), but a lot because he gets to wake up next to the love of his life.
Sundays are the one day during the week when Jeno doesn’t choose the siren call of a bike ride over sleeping in next to his boyfriend. Not that Jaemin doesn’t totally appreciate the effort of Jeno trying to stay fit. Because trust him , he definitely does.
Sundays are slow-down days though. They are wake up late, snuggle, shower, and cook breakfast together days. But this Sunday, Jaemin wakes up to an empty bed and a text from an apologetic boyfriend.

im sorry love
i went for a ride this morning
was feeling cooped up:(
So Jaemin takes revenge in the most Jaemin way he knows how. He takes a shower ( alone ) and makes pancakes ( alone ), and he smirks to himself about how disappointed Jeno will be to see that he doesn’t get to appreciate a naked and wet Jaemin this morning.
Until he gets another text from his flaky boyfriend telling him to close his eyes and not to peek until he says so. He does as directed - of course - and shuts his eyes, curled up on the couch in his little corner.
Jeno cautiously opens the door, just to make sure Jaemin has listened to him before he comes inside. He moves in front of his boyfriend, and somehow, the other can sense him, raising his face up in the direction of Jeno.
“Are you peeking?”
Jaemin sighs, shaking his head, exasperatedly. “No, I am not. Why are you making me do this?”
Jeno chuckles, shifting around and laughing some more. “You ready?”
“For what?”
“Put your hands out,” he continues. He watches as Jaemin reluctantly reaches out his arms, not sure of what Jeno could be planning. All the dramatics are worth it when he gasps at the pile of fluff that’s been placed into his hands.
His eyes shoot open, a grin overtaking his face when he sees the puppy. “Oh my god, Jeno! What is this?”
The older laughs, falling onto his knees so he can be closer to the pure white puppy and his boyfriend. “Our new dog. What do you think?”
“Is this where you went this morning?”
“Yep,” Jeno nods, looking up at Jaemin then, his eyes curved into the most perfect crescent moons. “I found him about a week ago but couldn’t pick him up until today.”
“Now I feel bad.” Jaemin squishes the puppy closer to his chest, breathing in heavily.
“For what?”
Jaemin looks at the older, trying for puppy dog eyes. “For being spiteful when I woke up to your texts.”
Jeno cocks his head to the side, looking adorably similar to the puppy in Jaemin’s lap. “What’d you do while I was gone?”
The younger shrugs, breaking the eye contact to stare down at the bundle of fur in his arms instead. “Everything,” he mumbles.
“You did our whole Sunday routine without me?” Jeno gasps, slapping a hand over his chest like he’s been mortally wounded.
Jaemin pouts at his boyfriend, leaning forward. “I’m sorry. I was just upset when I thought you had broken the routine to go biking. If I had known-”
Jeno cuts him off, lifting a hand to stroke the younger’s cheek. “No,” he laughs, “I figured you’d do something to get back at me.” That only makes Jaemin pout harder. “But it’s okay, love. We can have pancakes for dinner too!”
The little puppy in Jaemin’s lap lets out the smallest, squeakiest
arf
, making the couple burst into giggles.
“Not before we buy this lil man some food and toys, though,” Jaemin coos. “And we need to film a video!”
Jeno smiles at them both, his cheeks red and eyes lost at how in love he feels in the moment. “Of course, honey.” Jeno leaves a kiss on his boyfriend’s forehead. “But you’re cooking.” He chokes when Jaemin hits him with a couch pillow.

Jaemin loves his job.
Being a YouTuber means working from home, it means being himself for a living. And no office job can ever really beat that (no offense to Jeno and his grown-up, “real” job).
He’d been doing the youtube thing for about a year when he’d met Jeno, who thought it was an interesting way to make a living but couldn’t possibly sustain a lifestyle as the one Jaemin lived. Of course, he was proven thoroughly wrong when two years of youtube lead to millions of subscribers who gave Jaemin the ability to splurge on a much bigger apartment than they had originally been shopping for. (It’d made quite the video/boyfriend reveal on Jaemin’s channel, garnering almost viral video stats.)
Now, going five years strong on youtube - four years strong in his relationship -, Jaemin is happy with his career. He makes his own schedule and only puts out the content that makes him happy.
Like the video he was shooting today.
A baking video with Jeno, in which the twist would be Jeno having to bake with the directions Jaemin gave him, except not only would Jaemin be blindfolded, but the labels on all the ingredients would be covered.
Jeno, who was staring at Jaemin like he was crazy when he presented the blindfold.
“We’re gonna make poison.”
Jaemin laughs, patting Jeno’s shoulder soothingly. “Don’t worry, babe. You got this. I believe in you.”
Jeno eyes the ingredients left out in front of him on the counter, all the names covered with washi tape to really test his abilities in the kitchen. His gaze turns to Jaemin (who is happily tying a blindfold around his eyes) then to the camera recording them. He shakes his head, letting it drop toward his chest as he heaves a sigh.
“I blame you for anything that goes wrong,” he murmurs, reaching for the apron laid out on the sink.
“What, babe?” Jaemin looks wildly in the direction he last saw Jeno, the blindfold now neatly tied around his face.
“Nothing, love. Nothing at all. Let’s just get this over with.”

Johnny Suh Jaemin, what are you doing to this poor man
⤷ na.jaem nothing hyung😣 he loves it
Mark Lee pregnant WHEN🧍♂️ this is now the only content i ever want to watch
“Jaemin, I can’t do this with you right now.”
Jaemin loves Jeno. He really, truly does. He’s never loved anyone as much as he loves Lee Jeno. But right now, he kinda wants to rip his hair out and maybe take some of Jeno’s as well.
“Well, you don’t have a damn choice, cause it’s right now or not at all.”
“Are you kidding me?” Jeno says, turning around on his heel, swinging around to glare at Jaemin where he stands at the end of the hall. “What is that supposed to mean?” Jaemin lifts his chin, refusing to answer. “Are you saying that if we don’t discuss this now you’re going to break up with me?”
“I don’t know,” he says, shrugging his shoulders. “What do you think I’m saying?”
He doesn’t mean that at all. He doesn’t really mean anything, he’s just mad and wants Jeno to talk to him.
Jeno lifts his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, taking a deep breath in.
The apartment is silent around them, Baby off somewhere hiding from the shouting, and it grounds Jaemin for the first time in almost an hour. For the first time since Jeno got home and announced he wouldn’t be going with Jaemin to visit his parents for the holiday weekend coming up. And for some reason, it had sent Jaemin off the deep end. He’d been so mad that giving Jeno the silent treatment for 30 minutes hadn’t been enough, and when Jeno went in for a snuggle on the couch during their show, he’d just snapped.
“Jaemin,” Jeno breathes out. He’s much better at controlling his anger than Jaemin could ever hope to. “I know you’re lashing out because you’re angry. I get it.” He drops his hand from his face and his eyes- they look so guilty, so sad, and they’re sparkling with what could only be tears. “But this isn’t my choice. My firm has a huge deadline coming up, we all have to be there.”
Jaemin turns away. The only things running through his mind are nasty and spiteful and he doesn’t really want to yell at Jeno anymore. So he moves toward the living room again, glares at the city view twinkling beyond his windows, and flops onto the couch. He has his alone time for all of 2 minutes before a warmth is settling on the floor next to him, an arm reaching out to stroke through his hair.
They’re quiet, both lost in whatever thoughts are racing through their minds.
Then Jaemin turns his head so he can see his boyfriend. His wonderful boyfriend who works so hard and bought him a dog .
“Just quit,” he mutters, making Jeno bark out a laugh in surprise.
“I can’t do that-”
“Yes, you can. I make enough money from youtube. We’ll just do that forever. Who needs a retirement.” Jaemin scrubs his face against the cushions, causing Jeno to tsk .
“I want one for us. And I like my job, honey.” He prods at Jaemin’s head, coaxing him to turn and look at him. “I’m sorry, Jaemin. You know if I had a choice, it wouldn’t be this.”
Jaemin nods solemnly, letting out a puff of air. “I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have gone off on you like that, Jeno.”
“I understand why you did it. And you’re right, you shouldn’t have. But I forgive you.” Jeno leans over to plant a small, sweet kiss on the bridge of Jaemin’s nose. Then another on each cheek, and one more on his pursed lips. “Cmon, baby. It’s time for bed, I think.”
“Me baby or puppy Baby?” Jaemin sniffs, shifting up onto his knees and wrapping his arms around his boyfriend’s shoulders.
Jeno chuckles lightly, his hands running down Jaemin’s sides to the backside of his thighs to lift him onto his hips. “You baby. Plus, I think Baby is already in our room, ready for bed.”
This makes Jaemin giggle, snuggling his face into the crook of Jeno’s neck. “Yeah, I think so too.”

J aemin loves Baby.
He loves the way Baby trots around the apartment and the dog park, the way his bark sounds when he’s begging for treats, and the snuggles he gives the two of them when they’re all curled up on the couch together. Baby is so sweet and he makes perfect fodder for Instagram likes.
They couldn’t have got luckier with the puppy that Jeno brought home that day.
But for some reason, today Baby is acting indifferent, almost aloof to Jaemin and he can’t quite figure out why.
Every time Jaemin tries to track him down in the apartment, Baby disappears into Jeno’s office, tail fluffed up and nose in the air like he’s too good for owner #1. (He doesn’t tell Jeno he considers himself #1 and Jeno #2.) And try as he might, Baby refuses to come to him.

JENOOOOO why is baby ignoring me:(((((
From LOML♡♡♡
im not??? im working honey
not youuuu BABY our DOG he won’t come to me at all:((((((
im sorry love:// he’s just hanging out in here with me
Jaemin sighs, annoyed and slightly concerned that their pup won’t even look his way. He throws himself onto the couch, legs and arms splayed wide like a starfish, eyes trained to the ceiling. He’s decided to just let it be, wallow in the misery of being puppy-love-less when Baby comes bouncing into the room, bounding onto Jaemin’s chest to give him kisses all over.
“You do still love me,” Jaemin cries, wrapping his arms around the wiggling dog. Baby fights the hold, snuffling near Jaemin’s ear. He’s almost broke out of Jaemin’s vice-like grip when he feels something digging into his shoulder. Jaemin grabs ahold of Baby to lift him up, his body flailing in the air.
Something is wrapped around Baby’s collar, a note tied on with a leather strap. Confused, Jaemin tugs it free, letting Baby go in the process, who bounds away again in a cloud of white fluff and indignation.
The note is a ripped scrap of paper from a journal, just the words “MEET ME IN THE OFFICE” scrawled in Jeno’s handwriting. Jaemin’s confused, but more than anything, he’s annoyed he has to get up off the couch. He’s just found the most comfortable spot.
So he yells, “Why can’t you come out here!”
“Jaemin just get your ass in here already!” Jeno shouts back.
Grumpily pulling himself off the couch, Jaemin slinks toward the hallway. He’s startled to see flickering lights coming from the office, and when he pushes the door all the way open, his breath is stolen from him.
Jeno kneels among a terrifying amount of lit candles and flowers, his face blushed all over. Tears immediately spring to Jaemin’s eyes when he catches sight of the little box in Jeno’s shaking hands.
“N-no,” Jaemin sobs, covering his mouth with his hands.
“Is that your answer?” Jeno chuckles, tears misting in his eyes as well, watching as Jaemin stumbles closer to him.
Jaemin shakes his head violently, now in front of Jeno’s form. “Oh my god, Jeno.”
“Let me get this out, okay?” he begs. When Jaemin nods, Jeno clears his throat, trying to dislodge all the emotions building up. “Na Jaemin, you are the love of my life. I have never, and will never, love anyone as much as I love you. But don’t tell Baby.” Jaemin giggles. “These past 4 years have been insane, totally unexpected, but so amazing. I have had the pleasure of watching you grow as a person, seeing you every morning when your hair is fluffy and your face is swollen, and I’ve seen you make a living out of something you absolutely love. And I still feel like the luckiest person in this world. Jaemin, will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?”
Jaemin flings himself onto Jeno, a choked “YES!” breathed into Jeno’s neck. “Oh my god Jeno, yes,” he cries, hugging his now-fiance tighter than necessary, scared to wake up and find this was all a dream.
“Thank god,” Jeno laughs, wrapping his own arms around Jaemin, holding him close to his body.
Jaemin laughs, his voice coming out funny from his stuffed-up nose, “Were you worried?”
“Of course!” Jeno leans back so he can see Jaemin’s face. “You deserve so much better than me. I’m always worried you’ll wise up and realize it.”
Jaemin shakes his head, resting his forehead against Jeno’s. “Never gonna happen, Lee Jeno. You’re it for me. My always and my best match.”
The older sniffles, looking into Jaemin’s eyes, lost for a moment. “You’re my always, too, Na Jaemin.”
Jaemin grins - the most beautiful smile Jeno has ever laid eyes on - and he falls forward, catching Jeno’s lips with his. They kiss for what feels like forever before a whining interrupts them, forcing them apart with twin laughs of endearment.
“Guess he wants in on this,” Jeno jokes, lifting their puppy up so he can rest between their chests. Baby gives them each a kiss, happy to be snuggled in their warmth.
“Our family is just beginning,” Jaemin coos, tweaking one of Baby’s ears gently. “I’m so excited.”
Jeno looks at him, all the fondness in the universe stored in his eyes, and he murmurs, “Me too,” before leaning forward and capturing Jaemin in another sweet kiss.
