You decided to stay in that Saturday to watch movies and have all your cravings delivered. Jin had to go to his parents' house to do work stuff and he didn't want to bother you, and he'd gone home with you fast asleep so he slept in his room instead. He missed you right away but he knows that one night of sex doesn't automatically mean another one right after.

He woke up the next day to you making him gourmet breakfast, though. You watched a cooking show the night before and wanted to try it so you made it for both of you, knowing he spent the whole of Saturday working.

That Sunday, you went to the park in the afternoon and met up with your friends for dinner. You didn't tell them what happened last Friday night, not wanting to sex and tell, although you know that Dara would freak out when you finally open up about it.

All was normal, of course, except Jin's hand that was perpetually on your waist and yours that somehow always ended up on his thigh. You didn't miss the knowing looks of your best friends, though, and you were sort of glad that Yoongi wasn't there to add to their subtle teasing.

Later that night, you and Jin got a bit handsy in the car and ended up making out and cuddling and then falling asleep in your bed.

You woke up the next morning panicking because you both slept through your alarm, and then spent the whole car ride arguing on whose fault it was. But as always, it ended with you laughing your butts off as you walked into your office building, with some staff looking a bit surprised at their President's casual and lighthearted demeanor that they rarely saw on him before, especially on a Monday morning after everything that's happened.

It was still a busy week. You and Jin met up with the vegan vlogger who flew from the US and drafted plans for the collaboration, splitting time with your department and Marketing for a sound project proposal.

This was always the exciting part for Jin, he'd told you - being exposed to different kinds of food preparation techniques and finding ways to make delicious dishes accessible to the general public.

You don't have sex again, given the late nights and troubleshooting you had to do with one of your products that's launching in a few months. You came home late on Thursday to a dinner spread, though, and Jin pulled you into his lap for a long hug before letting you go and resting for an early flight to Jeju for an event the next day.

It's now Saturday, and you're in an events place in Gangnam for a fellowship dinner with some of Jin's parents' affiliates and close friends.

Your husband has been generous with compliments all night about your classic black jumpsuit and gold heels outfit, and you don't deny the fluttering of your heart with how his compliments are making you feel. He obviously looks stunning in his textured beige ensemble.

There's no faking with the way you're holding hands and clinging to each other as this time, you actually want to hold his hand, you want him to hold you close and tell the other patrons how well you're doing at work, given that Jin knows your tendency to get a little intimidated during events like this.

This is you, staying on track, you think, as you just let the affection do the talking, as if you're just letting nature take its course and you're enjoying the ride - of figuring out what you feel, what you want from him, and what you're willing to give and receive.

You're enjoying tonight. You're in the middle of chatting it up with one of the Kims' oldest family friends, your hand clinging onto Jin's arm, when you get a text from your brother.

Is Wong Seri the name of Jin's ex-girl? The message reads. Is this her? Another message follows, a group photo this time with her at the center.
