HOPELESS LOVE [CHOI SEUNGCHEOL]

EPILOGUE

AFTER ALMOST 4 YEARS

Shasha was standing, on the balcony, looking at the beach view infront of her. The whole view was so mesmerizing, she wanted to get lost. Something about beaches and riverside always fascinated Shasha and Seungcheol always gave her the chance to let her get lost in whatever she loved. He would always find a way to make her smile.

Shasha's hands were resting on the balcony railings, thinking how things were slowly changing since last three months, she won't admit it to Seungcheol but she missed him more than usual whenever he was out during work hours and everyone was so nice at home, she could literally spend all day inside her room. She wanted to go and visit her flower shop, but Seungcheol insisted her to stay at home from this month, since this was the third month already and he didn't want to risk anything, at times it looked like he was going through more panic than Shasha, when it should be initially her who should be thinking more about everything.

She chuckled at herself at this thought, then suddenly she felt two arms encircling her waist and she smiled knowing his presence. "Love" he said with his lazy deep voice and slowly one of his hands went to her tummy, and this small act brought a smile on Shasha's face. The sunrays were making her glow under the sun and her cheeks were scarlet as if someone splashed colour on her cheeks.

"How do you feel today?" she smiled at his question, "I'm good Cheol" he was caressing her baby bump, his hands felt warm against her soft and cold skin, "are you sure?" she felt loved. "Hmm" she hummed in response and he kept his head on her shoulder. "Do you like this?" she nodded while he was caressing her stomach, "thank you"

"You shouldn't be traveling a lot but I couldn't deny your request when you said you missed beaches so much, and it's true I was a bit busy since the last few months. I wanted to stay by your side but work..." He kissed her neck lightly, "Cheol..." she turned to face him and his hands were on her waist now, he pulled her a bit closer but carefully. Her hands were resting on his shoulder, "I can take off from my work because I know Iseukie and others can make it work but you can't, you can't take off for months for me. And everyone at home take care of me, mom doesn't let me do anything."

"Still, Shasha I am different from others and I want to take care of you" she smiled at him,

"I know, you're different Cheol, your love is different, your love language is different and there are few things we can't help, and come to think of it you've been dealing with me and my weird mood swings for the last two month, and not to mention my cravings. And I still can't believe I actually cried that night in your embrace because I wanted to visit the beach." She buried her head in his chest because she was embarrassed about the whole thing

He lifted her face, "there's nothing to be embarrassed about it my love" his fingers were caressing her cheeks, it was his thing to make her feel safe. "I'm just happy, although sometimes it hurts to see you go through all the morning sickness. And I'm so proud of how you are trying to adapt to the changes. I wish I could help you with this and all the pain. And it's going to be tough love..." she smiled cupping his face, "I can do this for us, and our baby" she gave a quick kiss on his lips. He was worried about everything, that's why he always asked if she wanted this and he always respected all her decisions.

"Still, Shasha I should be taking care of you every second." He looked at her, "you're taking care of me Cheol, it's just that these things are very new to me and unlike me, I never thought I would sleep so much, would feel nauseous so frequently, have cramps so frequently, my craving and my mood swings but you always try to do your best and you actually do. Your cuddles are the best, they always feel warm and give me comfort." she gave him another quick kiss again. It reminded her of, the first time she had morning sickness, as soon as she went to the bathroom, Seungcheol went after her, once she was done, he brought her carefully back to the room and gave her the best cuddles, she wasn't feeling well the whole day and he took a day off because of her. He didn't mind staying in the bed with her because she could feel better with the cuddles.

He was surprised and groaned, "why would you start something you can't finish Shasha? I'm trying not to kiss you badly right now but look at you, always trying to do something. I always tell you, I can't resist kissing when it comes to you." she was about to take a step back, but he was fast to pull her closer softly and kiss her. His kisses told her about everything, how much he loves her, how he feels about everything, and how thankful he is to her.

He lets go of her lips and looked at her, he pecked her again quickly. "Cheol, it's been 3 months only for me" he held her face, and the look he had on his face, anyone could tell how much he loved her. His hands were on her stomach, "I'm excited for more, your cute baby bump, how would you look and when you would gain a little weight because of that and I want to see how crazy your cravings can get." He laughed and smiled at her and then quickly hugged her.

"I love you so much Shasha" and kissed her forehead then gave a quick kiss on her neck, it was his new favourite spot to kiss her. And it was the most sensitive spot for her, she would always give up everything to him the moment he kisses her neck. "Thankyou so much for everything you did for us"
