Chapter Text
Night, Songhwa’s Working Room.
Songhwa is doing some paperworks for her next conference in Russia, and suddenly Ikjun is peeking out from the door of her working space.
“Songhwa-yaa.” he calls out.
“Hmm.. Why, Ikjunie?” Songhwa answers him without looking at him.
“Can I get your attention for 10 seconds?” Ikjun asks with pleading eyes.
That makes Songhwa divert her eyes from her laptop to him. “Wae? Do you need something?”
“I love you!” Ikjun exclaims then runs out.
“YAHHH! I thought it was something important.” Songhwa scoffs, returns back to her works.
Afternoon, Songhwa’s Room at Yulje.
“Good afternoon, Songhwa-ssi!” Ikjun shouts out while opening Songhwa’s door. Ikjun’s voice makes Songhwa shocked in her room when making a cup of coffee. Luckily, she doesn’t throw the hot kettle to Ikjun's face.
“What do you want, Ikjun-ah?” Songhwa sighs inwardly.
“I’m sorry, but I love you!” Then he leaves to catch up on his surgery.
“This man really wants to trigger me everyday.” Songhwa murmuring under her breath while continuing to pour the hot water to her coffee.
Evening, In Front of Operation Room.
Songhwa just has finished her surgery and walks out from the operation room. She is stretching her stiff body because of the long surgery, when Ikjun is coming up out of nowhere.
“Hello, Songhwa–”, “Owh—”. Songhwa has already smacked him before he can continue his sentence. Ikjun is rubbing the spot where Songhwa has hit him to reduce the pain.
“Why do you use violence on your boyfriend?!” Ikjun whines, Songhwa is glaring at him right now. Ikjun grins as wide as he can.
“But that doesn’t matter. I love you, Chae Songhwa.” Ikjun whispers to her ears.
Ikjun then leaves her.
“YAHHH LEE IKJUN!!!” Songhwa runs towards him.
Morning, Their Bedroom.
Songhwa is woken up not by the alarm nor the birds chirping outside. She slowly opens her eyes, then realizing there is someone who has been staring at her face for she-doesn’t-even-know-how-much-long.
“What’s again, Ikjun-ah? Was I talking in my sleep that wakes you?” Songhwa asks him, rubbing her sleepy eyes and yawns.
Ikjun is shaking his head, subtly giving her signal for a no.
“Then?” Songhwa raises one of her eyebrows, looking confused.
Ikjun is preparing to open his mouth, “ I—”
Ikjun hasn’t finished his sentence when Songhwa is already interrupting him with a quick peck on his lips.
He freezes. He is flustered with her sudden action, of course. His eyes widened as he was shocked.
“I love you too, Ikjun-ie.” She turns her backs then goes back to sleep.
“YAHHH!! Waitt.. What–Why do you answer before I say something?” Ikjun stammering, feeling the tips of his ears are burning.
Songhwa is silent. Ikjun decides to back hug her, “I love you, Chae Songhwa”. Songhwa doesn’t reply, but she is smiling while her eyes are still closed.
