He was then fast asleep beside me. Must've been tough for him. Come to think of it, if I wasn't there he'd probably come home really late. That was TONS of works. I wasn't really expecting him to receive a lot of paperworks cause pretty sure I've handled a lot of it too before.

It was then they're a traffic jam. Really ?? At this time ??

I let out of a sigh and just waited and waited. It took over an hour to get out of it. There was an accident in the middle of the road. I'm glad that I insisted I should drive tonight. He would've been more stressed.

He was still fast asleep luckily. I don't want him to feel guilty over this.

Not that long after that, we've finally arrived back at home. I took his briefcase that's beside his feet as I woke him up.

"Shua ya, wake up. We're home now" I said to him

He opened his eyes slowly as he yawned

"We've arrived already ?" he stretches his arms upwards as he unbuckled his seatbelt shortly after and got off of the car

"Yes you sleepyhead. Head in and take a bath first then go back to sleep" I said to him as I closed the car door behind him

"Alright alright..." said Joshua to me. I'm convinced he's half asleep

I went to the main door with him to open the door. He entered it first, probably heading straight to his room while I made sure to lock the door thoroughly, the front and back door.

I also cleaned the house a bit before heading straight to bed. I'm a bit exhausted, but it was worth it for me. As long as he got to rest well and I've finished his parts of his chores, I'm fine with it.

After changing to a pajama, I switched off my lights and laid down on my bed, checking out my phone. I doubt I'd wake up as early as I usually would since my body is exhausted so I'm setting at least 3 alarms to make sure I wake up.

I probably would be making some soufflé pancake so it's better for me to wake up early since making one could be a bit of a struggle for me. Right after I finished setting up alarms, I switch off my phone as head to bed immediately.

My alarm went off which caused me to wake up. I looked at the time as the time shows 6.15 AM. Ah, right at my third alarm. I was right I won't be waking up immediately. Guess I really was tired from going back and forth.

I got off from my bed to freshen up. I went into the bathroom and washed my face. After that, I brushed my teeth and head out right after I've finished doing so. I then head to the makeup table to grab my hair tie and went straight to the kitchen after turning off the lights and air conditioner.

I started on prepping the ingredients as I tied up my hair into a bun.

I was at it for like an hour or so, but it was worth it. Right on time when Shua would be waking up too, but I'm not sure if he's already up or not.

I served the pancakes on the dining table and covered it with a food cover. I went up to his room and knocked onto the door.

There was no answer though. Is he asleep or taking a bath... That's when I started on debating with myself whether I should or shouldn't open the door at the moment. But if he hasn't woken up, then he'd be late. I mean even if he's taking a bath, why should I even mind. We're literally married. But-- I'm just so hella nervous--

After what felt like a minute or so, I decided to just open the door. Right after I opened it, Shua went out from his bathroom

"Oh-- Good morning" he greeted with a smile

"A-ah, good morning,,,," I greeted him back, feeling awkward

"What brings you here early in the morning ? That's odd of you" said Joshua as he went straight to his closet

"Since you were really tired yesterday, I just wanted to check if you had already woken up or not. But seems like you already did so that's good" I said to him

"Ah, I see. Thank you for always putting up a lot of effort on looking after me" said Joshua with a smile and my heart was racing omg--

Keep it cool Sooyoung. Keep it cool.

"You're welcome. After all, it is my job as your wife to look after you" I chuckled

"It's early in the morning and I'm already flustered. Honestly Sophia, just how much of a flirt are you" he laughed

YOU STARTED IT !!!

"Or maybe you should say it's you who got flustered easily. I was simply stating my job" I scoffed

"I was barely even flirting" I pouted

"I guess I just love every inch of you to have always feel these type of feelings once you've opened your mouth" said Joshua as he let out of a soft chuckle

THIS GUY--- STOP---

"Awww I love you too" I said with a smile

"What's for breakfast today ?" he asked

"Soufflé pancakes ~" I replied

"That sounds delightful already" he smiled

"I'm gonna get ready for work so you can eat up before me" I said to him as I was about to leave

"Of course no. I'll wait for you. After all, there's plenty of time and you don't even take THAT long to get ready in the morning" said Joshua

"Oh my gosh we've went through this already ! There's no need to wait for me !" I scolded

"I'd still wait for you" he insisted

We were lowkey bickering about it and I was the one who ended up on giving up. This is getting nowhere and he's stubborn as f

I left his room shortly after and went into mine to get ready for work. I took a short bath and got ready like I usually would.
