With anticipation bubbling in your chest, you carefully arranged the mouthwatering pizza boxes on the table.

The savoury scent of melted cheese and freshly baked dough filled the air, making your stomach growl in anticipation.

To complement the feast, you placed two chilled cans of drinks by the side, ready to quench your thirst.

As you settled down on the cosy mattress you had thoughtfully placed on the balcony, you couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment.

The kids had bid their goodbyes and left about half an hour ago, around a quarter past eight. It was then that you extended a warm invitation to Jeonghan, suggesting that he join you for dinner.

After all, you had already planned to treat yourself to some delicious pizza, and sharing it with him seemed like the perfect way to enjoy the evening.

With the soft glow of the setting sun casting a warm hue on the balcony, you both began to indulge in the mouth watering feast before you.

The cool evening breeze gently swept through the air, caressing your skin and creating a serene ambiance.

For a few blissful moments, you relished the flavours in silence, savouring each bite and appreciating the simple joy of good food and pleasant company.

Just as you were lost in the moment, Jeonghan broke the tranquil silence with a gleam of curiosity in his eyes.

"I thought you hated kids." you couldn't help but feel a mix of surprise and curiosity. You had always been open about your thoughts on kids, but it seemed like he had a different perspective. With a slight pause, you decided to address his comment.

"Well, it's not that I hate all kids." you clarified, taking a moment to gather your thoughts.

"I just have a hard time with spoiled kids." As you spoke, you noticed Jeonghan's gaze fixated on the sky above.

His demeanour seemed calm and relaxed, which made you wonder what was going through his mind.

"Say it." Jeonghan uttered his voice hushed like a whisper. Confusion painted your face as you turned to him, searching for an explanation.

Jeonghan let out a deep sigh, as if contemplating his words carefully. Finally, he met your eyes with a gentle smile, and your heart skipped a beat.

The warmth in his expression made you feel a sense of comfort and affection, like the feeling of a melting ice cream on a sunny day.

In that moment, you couldn't help but wonder what he was about to say. The anticipation hung in the air, and you found yourself eagerly waiting for his next words.

Jeonghan leaned in, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

"I know you have something to tell me." he revealed, his eyes twinkling with anticipation.

It was a familiar feeling, knowing that Jeonghan had an uncanny ability to understand you on a deeper level.

Sometimes it could be a bit overwhelming, but deep down, it made your heart skip a beat to know that he remembered every little thing about you.

You took a deep breath, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement bubbling inside you. You wanted to ask something, but finding the right words was proving to be a challenge.

"Uh... I don't know how to say this." you admitted, your palms pressing together as a sign of your nervousness.

Jeonghan's perceptive eyes immediately caught on to your unease. With a reassuring smile, Jeonghan gently encouraged you.
