Work Text:
Kim seungmin is a man of discipline and rationality. Being the CEO of one of the most popular Civil Companies in Seoul , he had a hardworking and responsibility Nature. His dedication to work caused neglect to his personal lifestyle and health at times. Thankfully, God had gifted him with an angel, his wife Lina who reminded him to enjoy at all times.
Falling in love in university all an unrealistic reality for both of them. They were like a pre-measured, perfect couple. They had many similarities yet differences. Lina was caring and full of love. She knew how to make their home feel cozy and joyful, something Seungmin often forgot in his busy life. Seungmin might struggle in the kitchen, but Lina had magic hands that never failed to delight his mind. They balanced each other perfectly, like two pieces of puzzle.
The clock struck two in the morning, and the silence of the night was broken only by the soft tapping of keys on a laptop. The dim light from the screen illuminated the living room, casting shadows on the walls. Seungmin, seated on the couch with his laptop balanced on his knees, was deeply engrossed in his work. His brows were furrowed in concentration, and his glasses had slipped slightly down the bridge of his nose. He was tired, but the responsibilities of being a CEO weighed heavily on him, driving him to push through the exhaustion.
In the bedroom, Lina stirred from her sleep. She had grown used to the sound of Seungmin working late into the night, but tonight, something felt different. Her eyes fluttered open, and she reached out to the side of the bed where Seungmin usually slept, only to find it empty. The faint glow from the living room seeped under the door, and she knew he was at it again—working late, neglecting his rest.
With a soft sigh, Lina pushed the covers aside and got out of bed. She was dressed in a simple nightdress, the fabric soft and comforting against her skin. Her bare feet padded silently across the cool floor as she made her way to the living room. As she stepped into the room, she saw him, hunched over his laptop, his face illuminated by the screen’s blue light. He looked so focused, so dedicated, but also so very tired.
Lina’s heart ached as she watched him. She knew how hard he worked, how much pressure he was under, but she couldn’t help but worry about his health. He was always like this, always working, always pushing himself to the limit. She loved him for his dedication, but she also loved him too much to watch him wear himself down like this.
She approached him quietly, her presence unnoticed until she gently touched his shoulder. Seungmin looked up, startled at first, but then relaxed when he saw her. He gave her a tired smile, his eyes softening at the sight of his wife.
“Lina, you’re awake,” he said, his voice low and slightly hoarse from the long hours of work.
She nodded, her eyes full of concern as she looked at him. “It’s late, Seungmin. You should be resting.”
“I know,” he replied, rubbing the back of his neck. “But there’s just so much to do. I need to finish this.”
Lina shook her head, her expression determined. “You also need to take care of yourself. You can’t keep working like this without any rest. Your body needs a break.”
He sighed, closing the laptop slightly but not entirely shutting it down. “I’ll rest soon. I just need to finish this one last thing.”
Lina wasn’t convinced. She knew him too well—one last thing could easily turn into another hour of work. She decided to try a different approach. Slowly, she slid onto the couch beside him, her body pressing against his side as she wrapped her arms around him, hugging him softly.
“Jagi,” she murmured, her voice soft and almost pleading. “Come to bed. I miss you. I want you to be with me.”
Her words, combined with the warmth of her touch, sent a shiver down his spine. He looked at her, really looked at her, and saw the genuine concern in her eyes, the worry etched into her delicate features. His heart softened. How could he deny her when she asked so sweetly?
Lina, with eyes full of love leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. “You work too hard,” she whispered against his skin, her lips brushing against him with each word.
Seungmin leaned to her touch. He needed, truly needed this. Just seeing his beautiful wife makes him fall for her again. He loved her, he still does and at times when he feels low then he knows that she is there for him. To soothe him, to kiss his worries and to cuddle him to sleep. In front of her, he is just a baby.
Seungmin felt the tension in his shoulders begin to melt away. He turned to face her, cupping her cheek with his hand. “You’re too good to me,” he said with a small smile, his thumb gently caressing her skin.
Lina smiled back, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “That’s because I love you, silly. Now, come to bed.”
Before she could protest further, he shifted closer, his lips meeting hers in a tender kiss. It was a soft, lingering kiss, one that spoke of love and warmth, of shared moments and unspoken promises. She kissed him again, this time more insistently, her hands moving to cup the back of his neck, pulling him closer.
Seungmin couldn’t resist her any longer. They kissed, his laptop forgotten as he let himself be lost in the moment. The kiss deepened, becoming more passionate as he pulled her onto his lap, his hands resting on her hips. Lina smiled against his lips, feeling the familiar spark of warmth and desire that always ignited when they were this close.
When they finally pulled apart, both of them were breathless, their foreheads resting against each other’s. Seungmin chuckled softly, his hand moving to brush a strand of hair away from her face.
“Alright, you win beautiful,” he said, his voice full of affection. “I’ll go to bed. But only because you asked so nicely.”
Lina grinned, her eyes shining with happiness. She pecked him on the lips and said “Good. Now, let’s get you to bed.”
Without warning, Seungmin wrapped his arms around her and lifted her effortlessly into his arms. Lina let out a soft gasp of surprise, but she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, laughing softly as he carried her toward the bedroom.
“You didn’t have to carry me, you know,” she teased, resting her head against his chest.
“I know,” Seungmin replied with a smile, “but I wanted to.”
They reached the bedroom, and Seungmin gently set her down on the bed before slipping in beside her. Lina immediately curled up against him, her head resting on his chest, her hand over his heart. The steady rhythm of his heartbeat was comforting, and she felt herself relax completely in his embrace.
“Thank you for taking care of me,” Seungmin murmured, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.
“Always,” Lina whispered back, her eyes closing as sleep began to pull her under. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” Seungmin replied, his voice soft and full of wunder. Slowly, their lips met in a loving kiss which literally made him forget all his worries. With his wife in his arms, their breaths mingling into one, he wants nothing and feels warm. It’s home, Lina is his home.
With that, he finally let himself drift off to sleep, his arms wrapped around his wife. She is his source of love, comfort, joy and with her, he wants nothing else.
The thought of his incomplete presentation obviously was not gone. Seungmin did complete it within a few days, but the thoughts of the Presentation Conference day used to make him nervous.
Lina was always there to help him, in whatever way she can. Sometimes it's just perfect when you have an other half who is older, wise and comforting. Seungmin was pacified and cheered up by her motivations.

"How is the editing? Is it alright? Any corrections?" Seungmin asked Changbin after he showed his preparation on the digital screen.
"It’s totally fine. Don't stress too much. You literally edited and prepared such a good presentation bro". Changbin said laughing.
"Lina said the same thing. I just feel a little nervous because it's my 1st presentation". Seungmin said.
"Don't worry. Tomorrow is the day. Sleep well". Changbin told Seungmin.
"I hope so." Seungmin replied.
Lina was so proud to see her husband presenting himself with confidence and a bold aura. She was there, watching his amazing presentation and his
amazing speech associated with that.
She met him after event, when he came from the out conference hall. Wrapping his arms around her body, Seungmin was thrilled to see her there.
"Lina, You’re here? I'm so happy". He said, kissing her forehead.
"Yes, you spoke so well, Jagi. I'm proud of you. "
She said kissing his cheek.
"Thank you, I really made up, now after 3 days the result will be out". Seungmin told, locking their hands as they head towards the car.
"Be positive dear". Lina said.
Seungmin was thrilled when he saw his phone notification. It was unbelievable. His presentation was successful and now his company will be In a great partnership team of the biggest companies of Seoul.
The great news delighted everyone. His mother got emotional when she heard the news. It was so proud to see her son becoming successful by his own hardwork. Hats off.
Lina was not aware. Telling her about this was like a surprise plan.
Seungmin returned home early. Lina was in the kitchen, humming a song, making hot chocolate. The sound of clinking keys and quick steps made her aware of the presence of her husband. She halted her activities and approached him.
She saw him, looking tired and miserable. She got it, *the result was not good*.
She followed him to the bedroom, helped him take of his tie as he sat on the edge of the bed. He was quite, something he did when things were not right.
"What happened?" Lina asked softly.
"Come here". He took her hand, and made her sit on his lap. He then hugged her with love, so much love, she instantly melted.
"Don't be sad love, if not this time, then next time, you will ace this. Don't be sad, it's alright if your presentation was not selected, but no, wait, this is not right. How can you be not selected, yours was so-
Her words were cut off by his laugh. She blinked her eyes, looked at him. He was laughing, his beautiful smile with his hair disheveled on his face, looking like a teen actor.
"What"? She asked.
"I got selected and I'm a part of the oraganization baby". He replied, pecking her nose and smiling.
"Then why such drama? Can't you tell me normally?" She slapped his chest when he pulled her oven closer. Kissing her again and pulling out.
"It's fun to tease you". He replied, smiling with a grin.
"Bye then, I'm going". She said, pulled herself from his hold.
He immediately stood up, pulled her wrist and picked her up, wrapping his arms around her back and thighs, in bridal style.
"What are you doing? Put me down". She blushed and protested but did nothing to free herself from his hold.
He carried her to the living room to the couch. Gently placed her there and went to the entrance where he had kept something in the rack.
She watched him, coming with a box. It was pretty pink colour, white ribbon tied on top. It was see through material, but she was not able to make out because of his hands.
"I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes". Seungmin said.
The word surprised literally shifted her mood. He instantly closed her eyes. "What is it?" She asked.
He placed the box in her hands. "Open your eyes and see".
She opened her eyes. Though she was already impressed the the packaging but still, she opened the box, her eyes with delight.
"Strawberries?" She said with enthusiasm. It had been a long time since her husband bought her. It is actually very special because they Strawberries were the one that Seungmin had gifted her on their 1st date, after she told him about her favourite fruit.
"Yes, your love for Strawberries is incredible. Now taste". He picked one from the box and bought it close to her mouth.
She took a bite, looking at him the entire time. It was sweet, just like him. She was overjoyed. He got her Strawberries, oh wow.
"Thank you, love. They're amazing". She said.
He took the box from her hands and kept it on the table. He then took both of her hands into his, fitting perfectly and looked in her eyes.
"Lina". He said
"Today everyone Congratulated me, Mom and dad would even visit us in few days. Won't you congratulate me?"
"Congratulations". She said.
"Just that?, Oh I didn't know that the wife of CEO Kim Seungmin is so heartless towards her husband". He said softly.
"What do you want?" She asked softly, so softly that he fell for her again.
He pulled her to a kiss. It was soft, sweet but turned passionate when he licked inside her mouth. She tasted like Strawberries, and oh, the way she nibbles at his bottom lip and melts in his arms is insane.
They kept making out, him leaving kisses on her face and neck.
"I'm proud of you my husband ". Lina said as she kissed his nose. He pushed her back, hovering over her.
"Thank you my wife, I love you so much". Seungmin said, looking in her eyes.
"I love you too". She says, sweet, before he dives to kiss her again.
