You Belong With Me - y.jaesuk

9 - Waste

dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
that what you're looking for has been here the whole time

"mika." a familiar voice echoed in an apartment which got mika walk there confused.

as she opens the apartment door, small voices started shouting, "mom!!"

wait, mom?

yes, two small kids started running towards her, an older boy and a younger girl.

the young boy, jiho hugs mika real tight and shouts at a distance, "dad, mom is home!"

"oh really?" a man's voice from the kitchen got mika's attention. "hey, honey." the man's voice came closer and made eye contact with mika which made her froze to her place.

"jae suk oppa?"

"how's work?" jae suk asked and carried the young girl, naeun. "work? i don't--" mika looks at her outfit and an ID hanging on her neck caught her attention.

she grabbed it and it was a photo of herself in a familiar broadcasting company. "p-pd?" mika reads the position underneath her photo.

"you should come have dinner first while i take the kids to bed, come on kids, bedtime." jae suk spoke.

"ahh dad!!! i don't want to go to bed yet!" jiho whined.

"me too, dad!" naeun did the same.

after a while, mika found herself getting out of the bathroom after a quick shower before bed. she immediately saw jae suk sitting on the side of the bed on his phone. "honey." he called.

"y-yeah?" mika was confused of the sudden situation.

"come here." he said and tapped his lap for her to sit. mika tried calming herself down before walking closer to him and sitting on his lap with her back facing jae suk's face.

he wrapped both of his arms around mika's waist and whispered to her ear, "i miss you." the words sent goosebumps around her, making herself blush.

she then suddenly got startled as she felt jae suk's lips started trailing over her neck with kisses and bites.

mika accidentally groaned at the feeling, making jae suk stop and shush her, "shh... the kids are sleeping, you don't wanna wake them up, don't you?"

jae suk then gently pushed mika to the bed, climbing on top of her before staring at her dashing brown eyes. "i don't usually do this but... i want you to just keep your eyes on me, okay?" jae suk smirked.

mika bites her lip before nodding at him. without hesitation, jae suk immediately gave mika a very hungry ki--

before anything else would happen, mika finally got to open her eyes, stopping the unexpected dream about jae suk.

she immediately smiled and started blushing so much, gripping on the pillow tight and trying to stop her scream.

with a pillow, she covered her face and let out a very happy shout with her legs flying up and down from the bed.

mika opened her room door to see jae suk, kwang soo, and her mother at the living room, sitting separately on the sofa. they seemed very serious about something.

gladly, no one heard her door opening so it got even serious when jung hana started the conversation, "so... your girlfriend said no to your proposal?"

jae suk slowly nodded.

"did you ask her why? or at least did you two talked after she said no?" their mother asked.

"i did talk to her." jae suk ran his hands through his hair, "she said she doesn't want to get married yet."

"did she say that you two are done?" jung hana asked again.

"she didn't broke up with me, but she did told me not to call her when she's not yet ready to see me again."

"what if it'll take years before she's ready?" kwang soo suddenly thought.

"then i'll wait... i-i love her. so much. even if it takes a decade, i'll wait for her."

he's wasting his loyalty so someone not so worth it.

"how loving you are." mika leaning on the wall decided to sarcastically spoke.

"for now... you should give hyori some space, jae suk." hana adviced, feeling bad for what jae suk had to face.

"yes, i will. thank you mother for letting me sleep here for tonight, i will repay you someday... but i need to go now. i might be late for work." jae suk stood up and bowed at jung hana.

"oh you don't need to worry about that, you're practically like a son to me." hana tapped jae suk's shoulder.

"goodbye, mother." hana smiled at jae suk while he looked at mika afterwards, "see you around, mika."

when mika was about to reply, her phone suddenly buzzed, grabbing her attention. it was a unknown number.

mika carefully reads the text and got shocked. she gasps and slowly smiled.

"i-i'm hired."
