ALL BARK NO BITE | SADISTIC BEAUTY SPINOFF

Chapter 47

Minho stirred awake inside the pink bedroom... the one Wookyung had built for him so that they could live together. The room was rosy with the chandelier illuminating each corner with a warm, yellow glow while the outside of the window was pitch black, crickets chirping as stars glimmered in the sky. Minho felt hazy as he opened his eyes properly, looking around the room more.

He found himself lying on his side, swaddled in a blanket and saw his arm stretched out before him on the pristine white sheets. Strangely, he saw another arm right next to it and felt that his head was resting on it instead of the pillow. Innocently, he touched the hand, it was warm, strong, slender and familiar. Minho jolted up in shock as he realised he was naked and lying next to...

"Minho?" Wookyung's deep, rested voice asked and turned around to see him lying naked right next to him, also on his side, as if they had slept together that way. His face was dewy in the light, golden hair falling across his forehead, the smooth, flawless skin over his chest and arms was faintly tanned and his eyes were brilliant as ever. "Why did you wake up?" he asked in confusion.

Minho gulped, raising a hand to his face to hold his head. He could remember very little aside from the fact that "You had a bad dream?" Wookyung asked softly as he reached out for him, opening and closing his hand to beg him to get back in bed with him. Minho, still dazed, lay back next to Wookyung as he wrapped his arms around him, staring at his face as he tried to gather his senses.

"H-how did we... get here?" Minho asked and Wookyung smiled at him, the wash of freckles over his nose, cheekbones and shoulders looking more striking... like a starry sky but at sunrise. He pulled him closer, kissing his forehead and holding his chin gently "What do you mean by how did we get here?... " he said softly "This is our life now" he reached down to his belly, writing his name on it in slow, cursive letters.

Minho placed a hand on Wookyung's chest, noticing that he no longer had the bruises on his wrist... he suddenly saw flashbacks of them... walking hand-in-hand on a bridge, lost in their own world; hiding out in the corner of a library as Wookyung made fun of the erotic books, making him nearly faint with laughter; at the National museum, talking in detail about the relics and stealing the occasional kiss when they were alone...

It had been an eventful few months...

"Baby!" Wookyung exclaimed, protectively guiding Minho's hand as he finally learned how to drive; kissing him goodbye before dropping him off at the University; throwing him a wild party for two after his promotion to tenure; whisking him to Jeju upon the release of his first book; buying him pink bouquets; taking the big step and moving in together and everything that followed...

Their life was perfect... From early morning, as he woke up next to Wookyung, washed his hair in the tub as he splashed his clothes with water, missing him at work, then eagerly waiting for him at home; falling into his arms at the door, both serenading around the kitchen as the food heated on the stove, soft music playing in the back as he stopped to wrap his arms around Wookyung's neck

"Thank you" he whispered.

"Thankyou for this life that we have together"

Minho realised that he had said it out loud and saw Wookyung's eyes melt with love "Thank you too" he simply said and Minho felt overcome with feelings, leaning in to kiss him passionately. He firmly held the back of his head, feeling the soft hair brush against his fingers. Wookyung roused to action too, squeezing his hips and pulling them even together closer, practically writhing in each other's arms.

"Haa!" Minho tried to catch his breath but kept losing air as Wookyung gently kissed his neck and shoulder. "You feel different..." he remarked as he savoured every inch of his soft, smooth skin and Minho smiled coyly, blushing from the compliment "That or maybe you're a little more in love with me tonight" Minho raised his brows and got drowned in even more kisses "Who said it, thought it" Wookyung said sarcastically and Minho laughed "I'm a mind reader"
