(Tokyo Godfathers)




It's a busy afternoon for Ri Jeong Hyeok and Yoon Seri while staying at their house on a weekend. They are both staring at their computer screens doing something.


Seri's screen is full of tables, graphs and numbers, reviewing all the sales Seri's Choice got for the last month of the year. On the other hand, Jeong Hyeok's screen displays some moving visual media. In short, he's watching YouTube videos- kpop videos to be exact.


Jeong Hyeok has furrowed eyebrows while watching a certain boy group who dances amazingly that makes all their fans screams for them.


"Why are they so good?" He mumbled.


He placed his right elbow above the table and brought his chin to rest on his hand, his eyes focused on the screen.


Jeong Hyeok is really impressed on how the boy group performs that he kept on playing videos and lost count on how many videos he already watched.


"Do you want to order some food?" Seri asked Jeong Hyeok while her eyes is on the screen, still analyzing some graphs.


Seri was surprised that she didn't get an answer from Jeong Hyeok. She glanced at him, whose computer table is beside hers and was surprised how serious her boyfriend is from whatever it is on the screen.


She immediately stood up quietly and walked towards Jeong Hyeok.


"What are you watching?" Seri curiously asked while tapping him on his shoulder.


Jeong Hyeok was startled with the touch he felt. He didn't even hear Seri's question.


"Huh?" Jeong Hyeok innocently asked while removing the headphones from his ears.


"I said, what are you watching, Ri Jeong Hyeokssi?" She smiled at him while repeating the question.


"Oh... Uhm... I stumbled upon this youtube video about a Korean boy group. It says that they're the most popular boy group today." He described the group based on the comments he read.


"Ah... BTS?" Seri guessed.


"Wow. How do you know them?" Jeong Hyeok surprisingly queried.


"Like you said, they are the most popular boy group today. Oh and I remember, I actually told one patient that you're my favorite member of BTS when we were in a hospital in North Korea." Seri giggled while saying the last sentence to his boyfriend.


"Eh??? Jinja??? Ya!!! Why did you tell that?" He was shocked with that revelation.


Seri didn't answer him and just continued laughing.


"But why are you so curious and seriously watching them, though?" She asked.


"Uh... Well.. I'm curious to know why girls swoon over them. And now, I got an answer. I mean look at the way they dance. Their bodies are unbelievable when they dance. I can't do that. I mean look at me, I'm so stiff." The guy exclaimed to his girlfriend.


"You want to be like them??? Why?" Seri is the curious one now.


"Well, maybe if I can also do what they can, you... hmm... you will... like me more?" Jeong Hyeok shyly confessed the reason.


Seri smiled and wanted to burst out laughing but she leaned and held the other side of the chair with her right hand and explained to Jeong Hyeok why he didn't need to be like the members of the boy group.


"Mr. Ri Jeong Hyeok, I don't want you to be like them. I just want you to be yourself, okay? Remember what I told you the first time we met? Your looks are definitely my type. And out of all people, you know my taste. "You" are my taste." Seri pointed at him.


"And my tastes are not changing, it's all still the same. I don't need you to dance amazingly like them. I like your stiff, the bodyguard-built body that I know will protect me from any harm. So stop being silly because I like you the way you are. A man who is manly enough and will keep me safe wherever I go. So stop being jealous because of them, okay?"


Seri hugged her boyfriend's chest from behind while softly shakes him, reassuring him that she loves him so much and that he is perfectly enough for her.


"Arasseo. Saranghae, Yoon Seri." Jeong Hyeok expressed his feelings while caressing Seri's arms that is wrapped around his body.


"Saranghae, Ri Jeong Hyeokssi." Yoon Seri said then quickly gave her boyfriend a peck on his lips.


"So, do you want to order some food?"
