Tae and JK stood on the front steps, their gazes fixed on the horizon. It was a bittersweet moment, filled with both excitement and trepidation, as they prepared to embark on a new chapter of their lives.

"I can't believe we're actually doing this," Tae murmured, his voice barely above a whisper, as he glanced over at JK.

JK nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Yeah, it's surreal," he admitted, his eyes reflecting the mix of emotions swirling within him.

With a sigh, Tae turned his attention back to the task at hand, grabbing another box from the growing pile at his feet. "Well, no turning back now," he said with a half-hearted chuckle, trying to lighten the mood.

JK nodded in agreement, his expression serious as he surveyed their surroundings. "It's time," he said simply, his voice tinged with determination.

And with that, they set to work, loading the last of their belongings into the waiting moving van. As they drove away from the familiar comfort of the family mansion, Tae couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness wash over him. It was the end of an era, a closing of one chapter and the beginning of another.

After 3 years ~

Tae found himself working at a new company as an assistant. Initially, JK had offered him a position at his own company, but Tae insisted on establishing himself independently. "I want to make it on my own merits, not just because I'm your husband," Tae explained to JK, who struggled to understand at first. However, after a few days of reflection, JK respected Tae's decision and supported him wholeheartedly in pursuing his own career.

One day Tae found himself seated in a sleek, modern office, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he typed up a report for his boss. It was a far cry from the bustling energy of the family mansion, but Tae found himself embracing the challenge of his new role.

"Mr. Kim, could you come in here for a moment?" his boss called from the adjoining office, pulling Tae out of his thoughts.

With a quick nod, Tae rose from his desk and made his way into his boss's office, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't help but wonder what his boss wanted to discuss.

"Please, have a seat," his boss said, gesturing to the chair across from his desk.

Tae obliged, sinking into the plush leather seat as he waited for his boss to speak.

"Mr. Kim, I wanted to talk to you about the upcoming CEO meetup," his boss began, his tone serious.

Tae nodded, his mind racing as he tried to anticipate where this conversation was going.

"As you know, it's an important event, and I'll need your assistance to ensure everything runs smoothly," his boss continued, his gaze fixed on Tae.

Tae felt a surge of pride at the vote of confidence from his boss. "Of course, sir. I'll do whatever it takes to make sure everything goes off without a hitch," he replied, determination shining in his eyes.

The day of the CEO meetup arrived, and Tae found himself navigating the crowded conference hall with practiced ease, his eyes scanning the room for any signs of trouble. As an assistant to his boss, he was responsible for ensuring that everything ran smoothly, from coordinating schedules to managing last-minute crises.

Meanwhile, JK moved through the crowd with the confidence of a seasoned professional, his charisma and charm drawing attention wherever he went. As a successful CEO in his own right, he commanded respect and admiration from his peers, his reputation preceding him.

During a break in the event, Tae found himself engaged in a casual conversation with his boss, discussing the finer points of the day's agenda.

"Mr. Kim, do you have a lover?" his boss suddenly inquired, catching Tae off guard.

Tae glanced over at JK, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "No, sir," he replied with a playful grin, "I'm happily single and ready to mingle."

JK's eyes widened in disbelief, caught off guard by Tae's teasing response. He shot Tae a warning look, silently pleading for him to stop.

But Tae couldn't resist pushing JK's buttons just a little further. "Although," he added, his voice dripping with faux innocence, "I do have my eye on someone."

JK's jaw clenched, his frustration evident as he struggled to maintain his composure. "Tae," he muttered under his breath, his tone a warning.

But Tae merely flashed him a mischievous grin, knowing full well the effect his words were having on JK. It was all in good fun, after all, and he couldn't resist the opportunity to tease his husband, even in front of his boss.

As Tae and JK stepped through the threshold of their home after the CEO meetup, an unspoken tension hung in the air, thick and palpable. Tae's heart raced with apprehension, his mind replaying the teasing exchange from earlier, knowing full well he had crossed a line.

"Stop running and come here!" JK's voice boomed behind him, a mixture of exasperation and amusement as he called out to Tae.

Feeling a surge of adrenaline, Tae took off in a sprint, laughter bubbling from his lips as he darted through the familiar halls of their home. JK followed close behind, a wide grin stretching across his face as he chased after his husband.

Their laughter echoed off the walls as they raced through the house, a playful game of cat and mouse that spoke volumes of their deep connection and affection for one another. Tae's heart soared with joy as he felt the thrill of the chase, his worries melting away in the face of JK's infectious laughter.

But as they reached the end of the hallway, Tae found himself cornered, his back pressed against the cool surface of the wall. JK's laughter filled the air as he closed in on Tae, his eyes shining with mischief and adoration.

As Tae found himself trapped between the solid warmth of the wall at his back and the tender embrace of JK's arms, a whirlwind of emotions swept through him. His heart pounded in his chest, each beat echoing the rhythm of their shared laughter that still lingered in the air. But beneath the surface of their playful banter, there was a current of something deeper, something more profound.

As JK's hand trailed down Tae's side with a feather-light touch, Tae's breath caught in his throat, his senses heightened by the electricity that crackled between them. It was as if every nerve in his body was alive with anticipation, yearning for the moment when their lips would finally meet.

And then, as JK's arm wrapped around Tae's waist, drawing him closer with a gentle yet firm embrace, Tae felt a rush of warmth flood his chest. It was a sensation unlike anything he had ever experienced before-a feeling of being seen, understood, and cherished all at once.

Their eyes locked in a silent exchange, conveying a depth of emotion that words could never express. In JK's gaze, Tae saw a reflection of his own desires, his own vulnerabilities laid bare for the world to see. And in that shared moment of vulnerability, a bond formed between them-a connection that transcended the physical and reached deep into the depths of their souls.

As they leaned in closer, their foreheads touching in a silent promise of love and devotion, Tae felt a sense of peace wash over him. It was as if all the chaos and uncertainty of the world had faded away, leaving only the two of them, cocooned in the warmth of their embrace.

And then, as their lips finally met in a soft, tender kiss, time seemed to stand still. In that fleeting moment of intimacy, all the worries and fears that had plagued them melted away, replaced by a sense of pure, unadulterated bliss.

Their kiss was gentle yet passionate, a testament to the depth of their love and the strength of their connection. It was a promise-a promise to stand by each other through thick and thin, to weather the storms of life together, and to cherish every moment they shared.

And as they finally pulled away, their breath mingling in the space between them, Tae knew with unwavering certainty that he had found his home in JK's arms. For in that single, perfect moment, he had found everything he had ever wanted-and more......
