——————- Minho and Aera come home very late, and when I say 'very late' I mean around 8 pm.
I heard a knock on the door and it revealed Minho carrying the sleeping beauty in his arms when I opened it. I carry her and bring her to the bedroom where I place her down slowly.
Minho was seen throwing himself on the couch and I go up to him, angrily. But I really wasn't, it was an excuse so I could talk to him.
"I said 6:30 was the max, and you go above the limit by an hour." I say folding my arms and tapping my feet.
He doesn't respond verbally but he gave me a smile before pulling me in beside him. Soon my face was met with his chest, I could hear his heart. He felt very warm.
"Where did you guys even go?" I say while giving into the cuddle. He starts patting my hair which soothes down my temper.
"Here and there," He replies in the same calmly matter. I don't think much of it, but I'm guessing they went to the park, maybe cat cafe, the ice cream shop.
"Sounds fun." I say, slowly dozing off. Minho only answers with a small 'hm' and I don't remember much after, assuming that I fell asleep.

I'm currently at the supermarket to buy some groceries but I won't deny that I also wanted to get some fresh air.
For some odd reason, I woke up super grumpy this morning (I'm usually a bit moody in the morning), but this time I woke up on the living room couch instead of my comfy bed.
10:34 a.m
I forgot to set my alarm and drop off Aera at school. I quickly get up to wake up Aera, but by the time I get there I realized she wasn't there.
So it got me even more panicked and I rushed to find her. I went to the bathroom and it started opening by itself. Scared, I screamed as a person walks out.
It was Minho.
"What happened?" He yawned and scratches the back of his head, his bedhead still strong and alive.
"Where's Aera?!" I say still looking around.
Minho grabbed me by the shoulder to stop me from whatever I was doing. I paused and I looked at him confusingly, our child was lost but he seemed rather calm.
"I already dropped her off and fed her breakfast." He said while kissing my forehead and mutters -in a teasingly tone-, 'geez good morning to you too, sweetheart'
I stood there trying to process what happened.
"I could've done it, why didn't you wake me up Min?" I questioned, my lips formed into a small pout without realizing.
He plopped himself on the couch and chuckled, "You were sleeping so adorably that I couldn't bring myself to wake you up."
I pause for a moment. That jerk. Its these small little comments that really riles me up and makes my heart jump out of my chest. Hiding my face, I rush towards the bathroom to get ready for the day. I bring my cold hands towards my cheek to cool them down.
I noticed that we were running low on food so I decided to go to the grocery store. Minho offered to come but I told him that it was okay for him to stay home.
"Fine, but I'm helping you with carrying the groceries."
-Was the last I heard of him, well that was a lie, he told me to 'take my time' and then I left the house.
I was at where the strawberries were located and I saw a glimpse of something that caught my eye. There were a bunch of roses and all kinds of flowers beside the fruit section.
I go over to it and examine the different types of flowers which were being sold until I found one in particular. Purple Gypsophila or baby's breath, Minhos favorite flowers, I can't believe I still remember.
Its a lovely trait and memory so I didn't hesitate to pick it up. There was one left so I looked at the current state of the bouquet before purchasing.
Unknowingly, I held it close to my arms throughout the whole shopping spree instead of putting it in the cart.
While I was checking out, a certain store catches my eye. It was a ring store and it looked authentic so I decided to go check it out. You know, just for a sneak peek.
...
Yeah I said that but I ended up buying a ring for some $$$ but hopefully Minho won't mind, it is technically for him. I'll go home and erase any of my evidence and tracks I left behind.
I just have to come up with a proposal plan and everything to be all set. But it sure is going to be difficult because of the fact that I'm never alone. ———————
I arrive at the gates, but before I could reach the front door of the apartment building, someone who was waiting for me took all of the groceries in my hands and ran.
"Minho! I can do it by myself!" I shouted while chasing after the running man. I hear him laugh while slowing down with the plastic bags.
"How could I? You've overworked yourself too much, *Jagiya," He says waiting for me. He probably couldn't tell, but I was panicking over the fact that he referred to me as 'Jagiya'.
"Jagiya? Isn't that too overused?" I say trying to act calm to hide the fact that I was internally screaming.
"*Yeobo?" He says, scanning every bit of my face to see if I'd flinch.
"Too old. It's like we're a 60 year old married couple." I say unconsciously pouting. All of the nicknames sound too cheesy and overrated.
"We'll decide on them later then, *Aein." Shit. My heart started racing and I could feel it tingle throughout my whole body. It's a good thing he looked away and went ahead of me after, or else he'd tease me non-stop.
I catch up to him after I cooled down a bit, I mumble loudly on purpose, "Is it something we really need to discuss?" I puffed out my cheeks and folded my arms. He only responded with a small snort.
He was carrying all of the groceries so I felt bad and guilty. So, I offered my hand to lend him some help. He looks down at my hands and lets out a small 'Ah' like he figured out a clue in an escape room.
Instead of handing over the groceries, he transferred all of the bags to his right hand. Confused, I tilted my head but he then proceeded to grab my other hand and intertwine it together.
"W-wait that's not what...I- whatever." I continue to stare at our hands which were held tightly closed. Obviously, It wasn't the first time we ever held hands, but I couldn't help but wonder how are hands would look if we has rings.
Speaking of rings, I better go and hide it after we go inside. I'll think of an amazing proposal plan after we all fall asleep, so around midnight. It was currently being buried in my pockets, hopefully it doesn't fall out or else everything would go wrong.
