Chapter 45

Marley POV

Sophia woke us the next morning, climbing up onto the bed, needing a bit of help to be lifted onto the tall mattress. I had personal experience now with exactly how comfortable the bed was, the lingering and familiar ache in my body from our night together another reason to never leave Korea. Shaking those thoughts away I swooped her into a kiss, Tae sliding up to lean against the headboard. She had a tight grip on Tinky and Jia and her curls were all over the place from sleep. I ran my hands through my hair thinking mine must look much the same.

"You look gorgeous," Tae whispered, reading my thoughts and I blushed. His words always caused a reaction and I wondered if that would ever stop, hoping it wouldn't as the feelings made me feel alive.

"Good morning babe," I answered him, feeling the kiss on my shoulder.

"Yes it is," he replied. Looking at his phone, he jumped out of bed. "I'm going to grab a quick shower before breakfast, OK?"

I nodded and watched him walk away, noticing his sleepiness and the way his hair fell across his forehead and eyes. He'd put on the PJ pants that matched the ones I was wearing, fumbling for them sometime in the night when we finally decided it was time to sleep. I hoped he would cope with the early start and all his workload this afternoon and evening after little sleep. We'd likely have to make sure it wasn't so late the rest of the time I was here but the first night, we couldn't help it and neither of us had any complaints about that.

Pulling Sophia close and listening to her chatter, I heard the shower turn on in the ensuite and then he started belting out some songs at the top of his lungs, voice echoing off the tiles. I'd heard him sing before, he constantly sung and hummed, but he was definitely in his comfort zone now that he was back home. I had an image of Tae grabbing the shampoo and using it as a mic and cracked up. It was great to hear him sounding so happy and comfortable and I thought briefly about joining him realising that it would have to be another time when Sophia asked me for food and we climbed out of bed.

I'd hunted through the pantry, finding a selection of cereals that Tae had obviously stocked up on for us, brand new boxes waiting to be opened. Pouring some into a bowl for her, I fetched the milk from the fridge as Tae walked into the kitchen, towel drying his hair as his sweatpants hung low on his hips.

"You could wear a shirt too you know," I said, distracted by his bare chest.

"I'm only wearing pants because Sophia is here otherwise I much prefer to wear as little as possible," he answered.

"Argh," I replied at the thought and blinked a few times before rolling my eyes at him. This Tae, in his own home, could be more than a little dangerous for my blood pressure. "So, do you need to be at work at 12 noon again," I asked, attempting to get the day back on track.

"1130am today but I thought we could go riding along the Han River? You can hire bikes and they have ones with children's seats. There are a few places I'd love to show you. We will have to take security though."

"I'll do whatever you want," I answered, leaning in for a kiss, careful not to touch him as he picked up his phone.

"I already mentioned it yesterday and so Ji-ho is just waiting to hear the time we need him," he said, sending off a quick message. "I'll need to take my things with me so you can drop me to work on the way back."

"Will I come in this time?" I asked, munching on a piece of toast. He came over, wiping the corner of my mouth with his thumb, licking the jam off his finger before reaching for the other half of my toast.
