Love From Afar ~ Eric Nam

Chapter 13

*The Honeymoon*
Eric and I have decided to have our honeymoon in Osaka, Japan. We chose to go to Japan because I've never been before and I've always wanted to go. This is a place my brother and I have been talking about going to together for years now. Too bad I'm going with my husband, and not my brother. My brother and I can go back to Japan together another time. We chose to go to Osaka specifically because it's on the ocean, and it's an amazing city.
"Eric, you know how to speak Japanese?" I asked.
"Yup, I'll help you." Eric said.
"Good because I only know English, German, and Korean." I said.
"You can speak German?" Eric asked.
"Ja, ich spreche Deutsch. Ich habe fur zwei Jahren Deutsch in der hoch schule gelernen." I said, switching to German.
"Wow, okay. How did I not know this?" Eric asked.
"I haven't studied it since my sophomore year of high school. I'm slowly losing my German since I don't use it anymore." I said.
"I'm sure you can find someone who can speak German with you." Eric said.
"Yeah. I know YangYang of WayV and NCT can speak German since he lived there before he debuted." I said.
"Maybe I can try connecting you two and you guys can become friends. You guys can speak German together." Eric said.
"That'd be awesome if you manage to do that." I said.
"I'll try my best." Eric said.
"Okay, now what's the first thing on the agenda of our honeymoon in Osaka?" I asked.
"We've got to go to one of those love hotels. I heard those places are crazy." Eric said.
"I'm so down for that. I've always wanted to go to a love hotel with my significant other. Now, I have a husband. Let's find one and go right now." I said.
"Like right now? Alright then." Eric said.

Eric searches for the nearest love hotel from the airport. Eric finds a love hotel called Hotel Atlantis Tanimachi. It's only $68/night. That's an incredible price. Eric and I take a taxi to this love hotel and book the hotel for 7 nights, which is how long our honeymoon will be. In total, to stay a week at this love hotel, it will cost $476, which I think is great. Other higher end hotels will cost that much for a single night. Eric and I make our way to our room. This room is really cozy and nice.
"I can't wait for the fun things we'll get up in here." I said.
"Don't get ahead of yourself, babe." Eric said.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"It's only 6PM." Eric said.
"Okay, then we can go get dinner, then come back here for the spicy time." I said.
"The what now?" Eric asked, not familiar with the Gen Z slang.
"Spicy time is another way of saying sexy time." I said.
"Why didn't you just say that? I'll never understand young people and their lingo." Eric said.
"Okay, gramps. Let's go eat." I said.

Eric and I go to a restaurant nearby our hotel called Saika Ramen. Eric and I sit down at a table together. I take a look at the menu and realize everything is in Japanese and I can't read any of it.
"Babe, it's all in Japanese." I whined.
"Here, let me help you." Eric said.
"Please." I said.
"Okay, this is fried rice. This one is the saika ramen shoyu. This one is saika ramen dai. This one is saika ramen tama koiri." Eric said.
"So, they'll all named saika ramen, what's the difference?" I asked.
"Ramen shoyu is made with a soy sauce base. Ramen dai is a vegetable ramen, essentially. Ramen tama koiri is an egg based ramen." Eric said.
"Okay, I'll take the ramen tama koiri, it sounds good." I said.
"Alright. I'll go for the ramen shoyu." Eric said.
"Okay, I think we're ready to order." I said.
"Yup. すみません、ウェイター。" Eric said, switching to Japanese(Excuse me, waiter!)
"はい、ご注文はお決まりですか？" The waiter asked(Yes, ready to order?)
"はい。ラーメン醤油とラーメン玉麹をください。" Eric said(Yes. Can we get the ramen shoyu and the ramen tama koiri, please)
"はい。ラーメンがもうすぐ出ます。" The waiter said(Okay. Your ramen will be out shortly)
"ありがとうございます。" Eric said, bowing his head respectfully(Thank you)

The waiter walks away and gives our order to the chef.
"Your Japanese is really good." I said.
"I've been studying it a while. I've got lots of fans out here, so I thought it'd be good to learn Japanese so I could better communicate with my Japanese fans." Eric said.
"That's really sweet of you." I said.
"Yeah." Eric said.
Within 30 minutes, our ramen arrives to our table. I dig right in and begin eating my first bowl of Japanese ramen. Wow, this is delicious. I'm enjoying my first bowl of ramen from its home country.

Eric and I finish eating dinner, then we head back to our hotel for the night. I look at what the hotel offers in terms of costumes and adult toys. Looks like I can order handcuffs, blindfolds, whips, paddles, a flogger, and all things BDSM. Eric has never tried BDSM before and I've always wanted to try it because I have a kink for BDSM. Both of are going to learn along the way. This is about to be a very, very fun night. . .
