Jin presses a soft kiss on your forehead, then your nose, then your lips, lingering there to nudge you awake. "Good morning, love. I made us breakfast," he whispers in your ear.

You stretch then open your eyes, blinking repeatedly to try to get used to the brightness from outside. You usually wake up much earlier than this, when the sun's just barely risen and isn't as blinding as it is right now, then head to a cafe most mornings for your coffee fill, but not today.

After your fight with your husband last night - which saw you finally expressing your frustration at him and him, finally opening up about his pains and worries - you made up and well, made each other come multiple times until the wee hours of the morning. All the stress and tension from the past weeks have deprived you of each other, and you just wanted to feel close, to feel loved, to feel safe in each other's arms again.

Between tangled limbs and sweaty bodies, you convinced Jin that he needed to regroup, so he decided to take the day off with you just to be together, knowing that you help him feel like himself again. He knows there's still much to make up for with you, and making you breakfast always does the trick.

"This is my thing," you say, turning to him as he picks up the tray from the desk and places it over your lap.

Your smile brightens as you eye the spread - salmon eggs benedict on croissant loaf, dried fruit and nuts, cheese, and chocolate-covered strawberries, as well as juice and coffee.

"You went all out today, huh?" You smirk at him as he takes his tray and sits across from you. "This looks delicious, love. I'm starving from last night."

"You couldn't keep your hands off me, that's why."

"Excuse me, mister. You were the one with the wandering hands. Every time I was dozing off, you wanted another go."

His ears turn red as you remind him of last night and how he just found ways to keep touching you, kissing you, grinding against you.

"Couldn't help it. It's been a while and I missed you. You liked it, though," he smirks this time.

"Hmm, I did!" You wink, as you take a bite of your dish, which obviously tastes amazing. "Is that why you wanted us to take a leave today? To get some rest after last night?"

"Well, I thought of taking a day off so we could sleep in and spend time together after the weeks we had. And then I decided to make it a worthwhile night," he chuckles. "And I still feel a bit bad for all the things I said and I wanted to make you something you like. You were reminiscing about France and the things we ate, so I whipped up something to remind you of that."

"Aww, you're sweet to me again," you tease. "I missed being spoiled."

"Shut up, you hate it," he rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, I do," you chuckle. "But seriously, do you have anything in mind today?"

"I was watching TV while cooking and saw this news clip about Namhae; I haven't been there and it looks nice," he says. "It's a long drive but it's got great views, and I could fish and golf and you could read your books? I just feel like I need to be away from here first, you know? I need to strategize and plan my next steps and I can't do it here. Maybe if I get things back on track, my parents will speak to me again."

"Of course, love," you smile, knowing that deep down, it's what he really wants. "We can spend the weekend there and do our usual things like go to markets and eat and just explore. And you do your other rich boy hobbies and stuff."

He pinches your leg at your teasing but is happy that you're joining him. He does need the time to unwind and plan but he also definitely wants to spend it with you.
