PART TWO // Two

Before the breakup // Seungwoo POV

Three months passed since Seungsik and I moved to the apartment, and I thought maybe it was time we could do something special for the occasion. It was our 100th day at the apartment soon, so I booked my leave way in advance with my manger just so nothing would chock up. I was still told to stay by my phone because there were clients I was in contact with.

On the other hand, I also told Seungsik that I would return home, and likely stay two nights and spend the day together. I ordered a cake to be delivered with some flowers, and Seungsik agreed to cook us both dinner that night. So in my mind, I planned on spending the day out with my boyfriend, then do some groceries before heading home for the evening and have some nice wine after dinner. In my heart I prayed a thousand times that nothing would screw up that day, and things would run smoothly as planned.

"Hyung, ya know... It probably takes saving the country in their last life to have you as their boyfriend this life." Byungchan told me after I shared my plans with him.

"I'm really not doing much, besides, I've made Seungsik suffered enough in the past few months by not being available for him." I felt guilty most of the time, because I could not spare much time for my boyfriend.

Byungchan had always been supportive of anything I did or said. He was like my dedicated cheerleader. I saw a bit of Seungsik's old shadow in him. And maybe that was the reason I felt the connection with Byungchan.

On the night I returned home, Seungsik fell asleep on the sofa hugging his laptop. He had been working on his thesis. I thought I was able to make it back home by 9pm that day, but I ended up arriving only near midnight. I felt a little sorry but also slightly glad. I carried Seungsik back into the room and carefully saved his documents on the laptop. Then I sat on the sofa with a glass of wine. It had been three months since moving in, and that was the first time I ever sat down so peacefully with some time to spare in this very apartment.

Soon, Seungsik walked out from the bedroom and I somehow felt a little awkward facing him. But he came right into my arms, forcing me to hug him tight. It was as if time turned back to the days when we were the famous campus couple and I would crash his dorm just to cuddle up the whole night. We kissed deeply. It was a long kiss, and we had not connected like this for a long time. We then found our way into the bedroom, and that night, we made love with each other. We only stopped when we got really tired, then we cuddled to sleep.

We did not wake up till it was almost noon the next day. But like always, Seungsik had been staring at my sleeping face for a while before I woke up. His smile was the first thing that greeted me when I woke, and it completely melted my heart. I checked the time and thought I was screwed; we spent such precious time just sleeping. Seungsik quickly calmed me down by pressing his chest on mine, and reassured me that it was perfectly fine and that he did not mind just looking at me sleep. He looked perfect, with the sunlight shining on him and drawing his outline in glitters. I hugged him down again, and breathed in deep at his collar bone. It was the same smell he had as always, same cologne, I assumed.

The rest of the day got by just as I planned. We had our lunch out in a café just a little down the street. We then headed to the supermarket together. There were many things to replenish at home, and Seungsik had it all accounted for. He also picked out the food items he decided to prepare for dinner. Back at home, he disappeared into the kitchen to cook, while I just lazed around in the living room. He had barred me from entering the kitchen to help since I would more likely make a mess instead of be constructive in there. Soon, he set the table with several traditional Korean dishes, they were all our favourites and they taste best when home cooked.

We had dinner mostly in peace and then did the dishes together. It was all I would ask for, just a day without having to think about work, and spending time with my lovely boyfriend. We had some alcohol at night while we got comfortably curled up on the couch to enjoy movie time. I picked out a horror movie, since Seungsik's reactions to those movies were really cute. And he always ended up hiding in my arm during these movies and I loved it. Each time he did a squeal out of control, and each time he would squeeze my arm, I got a chill down my spine. I wanted to turn and press him down then watch his helpless face. I was sure his eyes would shine sparkles when he begs for me to let him go. But I contained those within my imaginations, and made sure to finish the movie before we headed to bed to actualise all these wildness in my head.

At this point, it was as if we regained the connection we had before. It was as if the three months leading up to this day never existed.
