Work Text:
"Congratulations, Atty. Choi!"
"Hey Atty! Congratulations!"
"Boss, congrats!"
"Atty, shot!"
"Thank you. Thank you." I mindlessly thanked my colleagues. I had a palm on my forehead and my eyes closed from time to time as I fastened my pace out of my office with my blazer hanging from my shoulder.
Home. I need to get home.
Just like what I wanted, note the sarcasm, a great surprise uh surprised me. Note the sarcasm. "Atty Choi! Congrats for winning the case! This calls for a celebration! There's a new bar having their soft opening on the weekends, this is a go go."
Where is my husband? I want my husband.
I was about to lash out and release my inner demons but considering my last sense of kindness, I held onto that.
"Hi yeah thanks. That sounds great and all, but the case really took a toll on me and all I wanna do is sleep for 24 hours straight, you get me? So maybe next time , Gyu. Sorry." I rested my weight on my waist. I can't stand up for any longer.
"Ah shit sorry, I was insensitive there. Get yourself a well deserved netflix and chill. Let's have fun some other day. Anyway, you get going now!" He waved goodbye to me which shamelessly made me sigh in relief as I almost ran to my car to go home.
Don't go over the speed limit.
These thoughts were lingering on my mind as I count down the seconds to quickly get the feeling of home.
3.
I parked the car.
2.
I got out of my car.
1.
I opened the front door.
"Love!"
There you are.
"I'm home, baby." I wrapped my arms around his petite figure, planting my face on the crook of his neck, sniffing his scent.
"Tired?" He says in a soft voice as he carded his way through my hair. His hand rested on my head, letting me lean on him.
I hummed in response. Almost a groan, but still a hum.
We stayed like that for a couple of minutes before he kind of woke me up to eat.
"I'm full and my everything is aching. I will sleep." I announced to the world as I got comfy in my socks and a face mask on my face.
I spotted Jeonghan, my beautiful human, applying cream on his face. I just knew he smelt good even from a distance.
I walked behind him, watching our reflection from his vanity mirror.
"Hey." I smiled, sticking my cheek on his'. I gave his temple a kiss. I got a whiff of the cream he used, it was mild, but he still smelled oh so good.
"You smell good, baby." a necessary opinionated phrase.
"Thank you~" he turned to look back, wrapping his arms around my neck, pulling me in for a peck on the lips.
"Talk to me about the case tomorrow when you get enough rest." He caresses my cheek.
"Let's get a week off?"
His eyes widens. "Really?! Yeah! You deserve that!" He held my face with a bright smile.
I nodded. It's all for you, baby.
Lights dim.
"Love, I'm getting sleepy." Jeonghan says while his face was buried in my chest.
"You can sleep, baby." I brushed his hair with my fingers.
"You sleep first, I wanna see you sleep."
I chuckled before mumbling an okay.
"Then I'll sleep now, my love."
He looked up at me, his hand going to my cheek to rest on it.
"You tell me everything tomorrow, hmm? You did well today, yesterday, the days before that, and in the future you will do well as well. I'm so and really proud of you. You're proud of yourself too, right?" He sleepily whispers, asking me.
"Mhm. I'm proud of me." I gave him a small smile.
"Good. You should be."
"I love you." I whispered, giving him a peck in the forehead as I tightened my embrace around him.
"Love you too, always." he ran his hand up and down on my back, comforting me.
I'm home. You are home.
Lights off.
