The alarm clock rung loudly on the bedside table. So loud that it brought Yerin out of her deep sleep immediately. She struggled to move her arms and grab the noisy thing to put it off. After, she yawned and tried to get up so she could start her morning chores before going to work. But an arm sneakily coiled around her waist and forced her down on the bed again, then Jonghyun compressed himself onto her side, constricting her body tightly with his arms.


"Yah...", she called softly and wiggled to get out of his hold but failed. Jonghyun just moaned in protest while his eyes are still closed.


"Let's get up now, okay?", she said like convincing a kid. Jonghyun shook his head, eyes still closed, then buried his face on the side of her neck.


"Jjong...", she called, no response.


She sighed. "You know I have to make breakfast, feed Yuhan, bathe Yuhan, get ready for work-"


"Let's just stay like this for a while, can we?", Jonghyun mumbled beneath the skin of her neck. "I was very busy these past days and when I was able to get a day off yesterday, you were working. Let me hold you... few more minutes.


She can feel his hot breath on her skin as he speaks. He's right, he has been very busy and they weren't able to spend time with each other like before. She just stayed still as he requested.


"What was that you were about to tell me last night about your company?", she remembered he wanted to tell her something but forgot because they ended up... you know.


Yerin looked to her side. It took seconds before Jonghyun opened his eyes and responded.


"You know Kang Corp.?", he asked, still hugging Yerin tight.


"That's big company you we're trying to have partnership with, right?"


Jjong nodded. "Yes. We really worked hard to get them as business partners, and finally we're gonna sign a contract with them one of these days."


Yerin smiled wide and tapped his cheeks gently. "Congratulations. Good job, as always."


He smiled too, kissed her on the cheek and mumbled a thank you.


"But that's not all I'm going to tell you. Maybe you heard about how big their company is..."


"Yeah. I even read somewhere that they're investing now in the fashion industry."


"True. Their range is so wide and we have to cope up with them that's why we're gonna work double now. Everything might get busier...", his sentence trailed at the end. He looked at Yerin anxiously, at the same time, apologetically.


"Don't worry I understand that.", she gave him a reassuring smile.


"Please don't get bored with me when I can't spend so much time with you.", he moved and propped his elbows on her sides so that his face is on top of hers.
