Don't Know What To Do

chapter eight

It has been six wonderful years since Heeseung and Sunoo started dating. Their relationship is incredibly healthy, although they do have occasional arguments. However, they always find a way to resolve their differences and come back to each other's arms. There was one instance when Sunoo unintentionally forgot about their planned date, which made Heeseung sulk for almost a week. Another time, Sunoo was mistakenly informed that Heeseung was at their favorite restaurant with another girl, but it turned out to be Heeseung's half-sister. Sunoo, not knowing this, approached them with tears in his eyes. However, Heeseung immediately comforted his boyfriend by hugging him tightly, which made the girl observing them think they were an adorable couple.

In just one more month, they will graduate from college and begin their search for jobs. Heeseung plans to come out to his father after graduating, as his sister has offered him a partnership in her business. Heeseung believed it was necessary for him to achieve financial stability before revealing his true sexuality to his father. He feared that his father's reaction might mirror what happened to his sibling, who was expelled from their father's home. By attaining self-sufficiency, Heeseung hoped to be able to provide for himself and his boyfriend, irrespective of his father's response. He also acknowledged that he didn't have to comply with all of his father's wishes if they conflicted with his own aspirations.

Him and his sister are planning to open a café near the park where Sunoo and Heeseung frequently go on dates. Heeseung readily agreed to the idea, as he has been saving money since his freshman years to buy a condominium for himself. He also has plans to propose to Sunoo and get married after the café's grand opening.

One evening, as Sunoo was casually scrolling through his phone while lying in bed, he heard a knock on his door. Assuming it was his mom, he got up and opened the door, only to be surprised to see his boyfriend, tears streaming down his face, holding a bouquet of flowers, a balloon, and a bento cake with a dedication that read, 'Happy 6th anniversary.' Overwhelmed with happiness, Sunoo couldn't hold back his tears.

"Happy anniversary, baby!" Heeseung greeted with a bright smile.

"Thank you, lovey. Happy anniversary," Sunoo replied, moving closer to his boyfriend to plant a gentle kiss on his lips before embracing him tightly.

"I love you so much, Heeseung Lee," Sunoo said sweetly, causing Heeseung's smile to grow even wider.

"I love you most, Sunoo Kim," Heeseung replied affectionately as he tightened the hug.

Meanwhile, Sunoo's parents were secretly observing the heartwarming scene from his father's office, which had a tinted window. Sunoo's mother couldn't help but shed tears of joy, reminiscing about the days when their Sunoo was still a little boy. As she glanced at her husband, she found herself torn between laughter and tenderness, witnessing his comical expression due to excessive crying. Suddenly, they were startled by another set of sobs emanating from their hiding spot. It was one of their long-time maids who had taken care of Sunoo when he was just a child.

Mrs. Kim couldn't contain her laughter as she observed the two adults crying like children.

"I'm so happy for Sunoo and Heeseung. They're both incredibly lucky to have each other," Mrs. Kim stated as she wiped away her tears with a tissue.

"That's it, after graduation, I'll buy them a house as a gift," Mr. Kim said, his voice breaking with emotion.

"I know Sunoo has always wanted to live with Heeseung, and now they're at the right age. I just want our son to be happy, darling, because he truly deserves it," he added, planting a tender kiss on his wife's forehead.

"I feel so single. I completely forgot to cook rice, so I better go now," the maid whispered quietly before heading to the kitchen.

"Love, how about joining us for dinner?" Sunoo suggested, prompting a content hum from Heeseung as a positive response.

"I already told the cook to prepare your favorite dishes, love," Sunoo added, earning a sweet kiss on the nose from Heeseung.

They were currently cuddling in Sunoo's bedroom. Sunoo's head rested on his boyfriend's left arm, serving as a comfortable pillow, while Heeseung's right hand was tucked inside Sunoo's oversized shirt, gently holding his waist.

"Have you ever thought about living together?" Sunoo asked, surprising Heeseung with the sudden question.

"Why do you ask, baby? Are you suggesting that we live together?" Heeseung responded with curiosity in his voice.

"Well, yeah. The thought of waking up and seeing your face first thing in the morning, and having endless cuddles with you... It just makes me want to live with you, Heeseung," Sunoo confessed, gazing directly into Heeseung's eyes.

"That sounds amazing. After graduation, you already know that my sister and I are opening a café, right? I'll work hard to run the business, and if I have already saved enough money, I'll buy us a house. How does that sound, love?" Heeseung replied, showering his boyfriend with kisses as a display of his affection.
