Were We Meant To Be Together?

Chapter 33 - Somewhere Faraway

The sound of the door being opened and closed reverberated through the small apartment as Kyungsoo put the stew on shimmer. He wiped his hands on the small washcloth before hurrying his towards the entryway with careful steps. He smiled as the taller man came into his view. He took the bag from Chanyeols shoulder as the taller man leaned down to place a chaste kiss on his lips.

"What are you cooking, Soo?" Chanyeol asked, opening his socks. "I could smell it from downstairs."

"Really?" Kyungsoo wondered aloud to which the taller man nodded enthusiastically. "Nothing special I just tried janchi guksu from internet.."

"I can't wait!" Chanyeol beamed, making his way towards the toilet to freshen up. "I'll clean up in a minute then I'll set the table for us okay? Don't do it by yourself."

Kyungsoo couldn't help but chuckle at the way Chanyeol told him. "Sure Yeol I'll be waiting for you."

Kyungsoo smiled to himself as he sat down on the sofa. He instinctively rubbed his belly as he waited for the taller man to finish. But now that he finally got to relax for a bit, he couldn't help but think how everything has changed over these last few months.

When Chanyeol made those promises that night, for a moment Kyungsoo couldn't believe him. After all, it was natural, given the situation they were in. But he must say that he was surprised to see how much Chanyeol changed after that night. It was like a miracle, a turning point for the taller man because he really did make everything come true.

Kyungsoo was astonished to see how well Chanyeol pulled himself together. He really did graduate with top scores and accepted that job Junmyeon hyung offered him. He still remembers how overwhelmed Chanyeol was when he got his first salary after working hard. And after that they didn't had to look back.

It felt like the days of their misery was finally over.

Kyungsoo sighed happily as he looked down at his belly. His lips instantly curled up in a smile as he rubbed tummy. He really felt happy with where his life was going. Even though his feet were swelling, even when his back was killing him, he was truly happy after a long time. He knew that being a father at the age of 24 in their generation was not normal. But when has his life been normal, to begin with?

He got married to a prince just by filling a random form!

His chain of thoughts interrupted when Chanyeol placed the pot in front of him with a small thud. He looked up and saw that the taller man had already set their table. He got up from his seat and walked towards the table. He noticed how Chanyeols eyes lingered on his form but ignored it in favor of serving the taller man.

When he finally settled down, Chanyeol instantly started to bombard him with questions about his day. Since Kyungsoo was already in his seventh month, he hardly went out of the house. That's why Chanyeol was always worried about what the smaller man doing when he was not there.

"Ah!" Chanyeol interrupted, making Kyungsoo stop on his speech about cradles. "I almost forgot!"

"What is it?" Kyungsoo asked, placing his spoon down.

"I have to go to Busan tomorrow"

Kyungsoo sighed. "You really have to go?"

Chanyeol nodded looking down. "It's for a project. And moreover my superior recommended me so I have to go..."

"When are going to return?"

"I'll be back the next day," assured Chaneyol. He then got up from his seat and kneeled in front of Kyungsoo and quickly embraced him. "I know you don't like being alone Soo But I really can't help it. If I don't go, my boss might get angry at me..."
