" SEOKMIN AA ! SEOKMINA ARE YOU GONNA COME OUT OR NOT ? LEE SEOKMIN ! " Seungkwan banged on their bedroom door for the 13th time . The door finally opened halfway to reveal Seokmin , who gulped nervously at the sight of Seungkwan.
" I already came out tho , that's why we are dating Seungkwana " Seokmin joked , Seungkwan's glare intensified. " Don't tell me you just joked "
Seokmin zipped his lips at that second . " What were you doing in the room ? Don't tell you were eating secretly " Seungkwan peeked in through the little space Seokmin was allowing . " Ofcourse not Kwannie , we just ate lunch half an hour ago " Seokmin laughed casually , Seungkwan crossed his arms in suspicion.
" Move aside , open the door wide " Seokmin shook his head , trying to move out instead . " Lee Seokmin , MOVE " Seungkwan declared , Seokmin was actually startled .
Seungkwan didn't wait , he shoved aside Seokmin and walked into their bedroom which smelled of Peri peri fries and ramen . Seungkwan picked up a leftover fry from the ground , showing it to Seokmin . " We didn't have fries for Lunch , what the hell is this ? " Seungkwan screamed , Seokmin held the door for support.
" I .. was .. was .. hungry , sorry Kwannie " Seokmin apologized . Seungkwan scooted under the bed and found the ramen bowl , he grabbed it and walked closer to Seokmin who stumbled back . " I just bought this special edition ramen last night , you know what I went through for it ? " Seungkwan choked on his voice , Seokmin maintained his innocent look.
" I had to pull the hairs of Middle aged aunties and crawled into the limited space to get that 2 packets of Special edition ! One of the aunties even farted that terribly smelt of spoiled chicken and mustard sauce ! You know how terrible it was !! " Seungkwan punched Seokmin's chest , crying over the sufferings his nose underwent in that few minutes .
" I'm sorry baby , I'll get you 10 more of this I promise " Seokmin pulled Seungkwan into his embrace , softly caressing his head . " 20 , 20 ! You heard that ? " Seungkwan whined , Seokmin nodded aggressively .
Seungkwan pulled back and walked out of the room with Seokmin . " I'm gonna leave for work , if you eat anything before I come I'll kill you . Got it ? " Seungkwan warned , Seokmin nodded with a salute.
" I'll seriously kill you , I've already told you twice "
Once Seungkwan left , Seokmin peeked outside through the window . " Thank god he forgot about the almond chocolate "
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seungkwan didn't have the mood to work , he had his head laid down over the table for the past few hours . He eventually kept staring at his laptop lockscreen which was a picture of him with Seokmin . His fingers traced over the screen , a sigh eventually escaping his lips.
" Do you mistake sighing for breathing Seungkwan ? If you sigh one more time you'll hit a century " Mingyu commented , scooting closer to Seungkwan with his rolling chair . " Last time our Manager asked the sales in Namsan , you forgot your ability to count . Suddenly you recalled the talent to count my sigh ? " Seungkwan asked with a flat voice , Mingyu rolled his eyes.
" Seems like someone woke up on the wrong side of bed once again " Mingyu muttered , Seungkwan sat up straight to conveniently give a side eye to the figure on his right. " Seokmin simply can't stop eating ! He participated in that Eating competition last month and inhaled food everyday for practice , now he just can't stop . The prize for the competition itself was like 100000 won and he emptied that already in a week over food deliveries . He doesn't stop with that , he eats all my food too ! I don't know what to do with him . I hate him so much , so much so much so much " Seungkwan complained throwing fists at the monitor , Mingyu almost snorted.
" That's some serious problem , but he doesn't seem to have gained weight tho . I saw him two days back when he came to pick you up , he looked just fine " Mingyu stated .
" He isn't me who gains weight just by reading the word ' Food ' . He doesn't gain weight easily plus he hits the gym everyday , ofcourse he looks fine " Seungkwan scoffed . " Yeah , you also need to hit the gym at times Seungkwan " Mingyu smirked , Seungkwan threw a pen right to his forehead.
" Give me some solution will you instead of mocking me ? " Seungkwan threw his head back frustrated , Mingyu hummed in deep thought.
" Maybe you should break up with him Seungkwan , you can't handle him " Mingyu advised , Seungkwan froze . " Break up and then ? " Seungkwan asked , averting his eyes to Mingyu.
" Date someone who doesn't eat your food maybe " Mingyu added casually , Seungkwan clenched his jaw and stood up .
" Are you seriously asking me to break up with my boyfriend of 8 years for this ? Are you insane ? Do you think I'll leave my Seokmin for food ? Absolutely no , NO ! " Seungkwan closed his ears dramatically , Mingyu blinked slowly .
" But you are the one who -- "
" You homewrecker ! I wanna see Seokmin right now , I can't believe I scolded him in the morning for this . I hurt my baby , you get lost " Seungkwan pushed Mingyu away and grabbed his bag , leaving his desk . Mingyu glanced at him in disbelief.
" Is he for real ? What the hell is wrong with him ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Night fell by the time Seungkwan returned home . He entered quietly , a small smile played over his lips when he heard the sound of water from the Kitchen , Seokmin was washing the vessels . Seungkwan didn't wait and hugged Seokmin from behind , wrapping his arms around the elder's waist.
" Welcome back home Kwannie , you are home earlier today " Seokmin smiled watching the younger over his shoulder while washing the last bowl for the day . " Heard something too annoying that I couldn't sit there anymore , I missed you Minnie " Seungkwan rested his chin on the elder's shoulder , watching him cutely.
" I bet that was from Mingyu . I also missed you Kwannie " Seokmin turned and cupped the younger's face , followed by quick pecks to his lips . " I'm hungry Minnie " Seungkwan rubbed his tummy with a pout . " Dinner is already on the table , let's go and eat " Seokmin interlaced their fingers and walked him to the Dining room.
" Today's special is your favourite Spaghetti ! C'mon quickly taste it " Seokmin served him the plate , Seungkwan slurped in the Spaghetti and clapped his hands in joy . " You are the best Minnie , you know how to make up with me huh ? " Seungkwan shot him a playful smirk , Seokmin mimicked his expression . " Ofcourse I know my dear future husband " Seokmin winked , Seungkwan blushed throwing fists on the elder.
After dinner , Seungkwan proceeded to freshen up and slipped into his pajamas . When he came out of the washroom , he saw Seokmin seated on the floor leaning against the bed . Seungkwan sat on the edge of the bed , Seokmin suited himself to sit between Seungkwan's swaying legs . Seungkwan leaned to hug the elder , resting his chin on top of Seokmin's head.
" I'm sorry for what happened in the morning , I was very rude " Seungkwan apologized , Seokmin shook his head while softly caressing the younger's hands . " I'm sorry too , I bought you the 20 special editions ramen as promised " Seokmin looked behind to see his boyfriend's reaction , who gasped covering his mouth.
" What the hell Seokmin , really ? Wasn't it a huge trouble ? " Seungkwan asked in concern . " Not really , because my fart was probably strong enough to chase away the others . It was nothing " Seokmin shrugged his shoulders , Seungkwan broke out into laughter.
" I love you so much , you are the best " Seungkwan giggled pulling Seokmin to the bed , the elder chuckled cuddling him . " I love you too "
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A week passed , Seokmin seemed to be in a normal state . Seungkwan checked the cupboards everyday , things stayed in place . He also checked their shared bank account transactions everyday , there weren't any unnecessary spendings on food . With the saved up money , Seungkwan was planning to buy Seokmin a new cardigan.
One fine afternoon in the office , Seungkwan's phone rang with a name he finds annoying . " What is your problem Soonyoung aa , we spoke for nearly 2 hours in the call just 3 days back . Jihoon shouldn't have went on that business trip , you are literally torturing me every week " Seungkwan grumbled , all he heard was an unbothered laugh from the other end of the call.
" But you still pick up my call Seungkwan aa , no need to act like you hate it " Soonyoung teased .
" Only because Jihoon agreed to pay me to babysit you through call , I literally unblocked you only after the bank credit notification "
" Hey you are so mean , you know ? Are you only sweet with Seokmin ? I'm literally your friend of 15 years ! " Soonyoung whined , Seungkwan sighed with a curse under his breath.
" Don't you drag my boyfriend into it . Now tell me what is it , did you again burn the pan ? Or is it the microwave oven this time ? Is the Washing Machine still in good condition ? "
" Everything is in place , c'mon Seungkwan I'm not that clumsy " Soonyoung pouted . " If you say so " Seungkwan sassed .
" I called to call out your ungrateful ass . I sent the Dubai chewy chocolates through courier two days back , you received it yesterday and didn't have the courtesy to send me a ' Thanks ' sticker . I didn't raise you like this Seungkwan aa , I'm so disappointed . You didn't have to send me Kimchi in return , but a thank you -- "
" You sent me what ? Dubai chewy chocolates ? I didn't receive anything what are you blabbering Kwon Soonyoung ? " Seungkwan frowned , Soonyoung gasped over the call. " Yahh , I knew this would happen . Check your Kakao talk , I've sent you the notification from the Courier service . You are lying right to my face ? "
Seungkwan checked the notification , his lips parted in shock . " What the -- Yahh Soonyoung , I'll call you later . If you call me before I do I'll block you again , let Jihoon kill me I'll see him in another life I don't care " Seungkwan hung up the call and dialed Seokmin's number.
' The number you are calling is not answering , please leave a message in 10 seconds '
Seungkwan dialed his number a dozen of times , but the reply didn't seem to change . " He usually picks up my call in 2 rings , what the hell " Seungkwan panicked and left his desk hurriedly Seungkwan ran all the way to his home , panting heavily once every twenty seconds . ' You should hit the gym often ' He punched Mingyu's face in his mindvoice and continued to run on the familiar path.
Once reaching the door , he typed the passcode in a hurry . The Door opened half way to reveal Seokmin , with a Chewy chocolate peeking out of his mouth . Seungkwan let out the most exasperated sigh known to mankind .
" Why ? WHY ? You were supposed to eat this together with me , WHY ? " Seungkwan whined with tears dwelling his eyes .
" I -- it was tasty , I was planning to tell you " Seokmin replied with guilty eyes , Seungkwan threw fists to Seokmin's chest .
" Did you eat everything without me ? "
" No - no , I have some left for you " Seokmin swallowed the chocolate , looking into the younger's eyes .
" They aren't even trending now , why are you doing this to me ? " Seungkwan hugged Seokmin who embraced the younger warmly . " I have some left Kwan aa "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Silence prevailed in the house throughout the week . Seokmin stopped stealing food , he couldn't even think of having three proper meals with Seungkwan avoiding him in the house . Seungkwan wouldn't even eat with him anymore , Seokmin knew he messed up big this time.
The following Wednesday , Seungkwan messaged Seokmin to meet him near the Han river . Seokmin made sure he wore blue coat which the younger bought him as a birthday gift , a small attempt to make his boyfriend forgive him . He saw Seungkwan leaning over the railings with a solemn face , Seokmin stood silently next to him.
" I don't think I can continue this relationship Seokmin "
Seokmin's eyes widened , he held the younger's shoulders and looked into his eyes . " No , Seungkwan No . I'm really sorry , I shouldn't have done that . I deeply regret my crime every minute , please Seungkwan "
Seungkwan shook his head , pushing Seokmin away . " No , you won't change . I'm tired , I can't deal with you anymore . Let's break up Seokmin "
" Seungkwan , we aren't ready for the breakup . You know that too , we can't do this Seungkwan . Look at me , please give me one more chance " Seokmin cupped the younger's face , caressing his cheeks softly with his thumb . Seungkwan turned his head away , stepping back from the elder.
" The minute you ate my favourite chocolate without me , we were done . How can I ever trust you again ? No , leave me . We should end this ! " Seungkwan wiped away his tears , Seokmin fell to his knees .
" Seungkwan , please . Let's talk this over your favourite meal , we can talk through it Kwannie " Seokmin pleaded.
" I'm talking about breakup and you are talking about food again ? THIS IS WHY IM BREAKING UP WITH YOU , BYE ! " Seungkwan screamed and walked away .
" FROZEN SANGYEOPSAL ! " Seungkwan paused in his place.
" Beef Gopchang ! " Seungkwan turned to look at his boyfriend .
" Bluberry cake , Iced Americano ... they are all your favourites Seungkwannie , will anyone else remember all your favourites like I do ? Will anyone else buy you them like I do ? " Seokmin cried , still on his knees .
Seungkwan sniffled , helping Seokmin stand up . " Are you seriously going to buy me all of them ? "
" Yes , everything you want . My treat Seungkwannie " Seokmin pressed his forehead against Seungkwan , caressing the younger's cheeks.
" Okay , let's go " Seungkwan agreed , Seokmin smiled wrapping his arm around the younger's shoulder and proceeded to walk towards their favourite shop.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seokmin bought everything he promised and watched Seungkwan devour them all . " You eat so well baby , I can watch you forever " Seokmin chuckled with fond eyes , Seungkwan giggled sipping his drink .
" I am sorry Seungkwan , I lost my mind for the past few days . I promise I won't act like that ever again , I promise " Seokmin apologized , Seungkwan nodded caressing the elder's hand. " I am sorry too , I shouldn't have brought up breakup when we are about to get married in less than a year " Seungkwan apologized , Seokmin smiled softly pressing a kiss to the younger's forehead.
" Is this Boo Seungkwan and Lee Seokmin by any chance ? " Soonyoung called from behind , the two turned behind to be met with the owner of the voice . Seokmin and Seungkwan screamed in sync .
" Yahh Soonyoung , did you really have to bring your face so close ? " Seokmin rubbed his chest while breathing heavily , Soonyoung grinned . " I know I am too handsome to handle , c'mon guys y'all still can't be starstruck with me " Soonyoung laughed proudly taking the opposite chair.
" Starstruck ? The day I bury your hamster ass in the burial grounds isn't far Kwon Soonyoung , your count is decreasing at 2x rate " Seungkwan warned , Soonyoung threw him an offended look. " Tchh c'mon Seungkwan , I am going to be your best man in your wedding and look at what you're saying , I'm disappointed " Soonyoung took a sip of Seungkwan's Americano , Seokmin grabbed it from the elder immediately.
" Don't do this until you have a death wish " Seokmin blurted , Soonyoung took the sign and coughed awkwardly.
" You are a walking disappointment Soonyoung , you can't be disappointed with me 24/7 when it should be the opposite " Seungkwan complained kicking Soonyoung's legs under the table .
" Whatever , you still didn't thank me for that Dubai chewy chocolate . Jihoon sent me just one box and I gave it to you guys , y'all don't know how much I love you guys " Soonyoung fake cried , Seungkwan and Seokmin's eyes met before they turned towards Soonyoung with judging eyes.
" Thanks to that , you almost couldn't be the best man . Get lost . Seokmin let's leave " Seungkwan stood up , Seokmin followed him after giving a quick hug to Soonyoung . " That'll be 50,000 won Sir . We accept cash and cards " The Staff informed , Seokmin nodded inserting his hands into his pocket.
Empty . Panic washed all over him . He checked his coat and jeans , it was empty . " What ? " Seungkwan shot him a confused glare , Seokmin gulped.
" I .. for .. forgot my wallet at home "
Seungkwan bit his cheeks with a look of disbelief . " You -- you serioUsly LEE SEOKMIN ! " Before Seungkwan could hit him , Seokmin dogded and ran away from the shop.
" I'll deal with you at home . Excuse me , do you see the guy over there trying the leftovers ? He's my brother , he will pay for the meal . Thank you " Seungkwan bowed and waved his hands at Soonyoung . " Soonyoung aa , I love you my hyung . I'll see you later bubye " Seungkwan threw a flying kiss and rushed outside the shop.
" Love you too my brother , he finally understood my value " Soonyoung smiled in satisfaction , until the staff placed the bill in front of him . " That'll be 50,000 won Sir . We accept cash and cards "
Soonyoung blinked , reading the bill . He scoffed , clapping his hands with a demonic laugh . The Staff backed off in fear , running back to the counter .
" YAHH BOO SEUNGKWAN LEE SEOKMIN "
