With You

Call!

He had been incredibly clingy ever since they left the set.

As they walked to the car, his arm was always over her shoulder, pulling her closer. From the moment they went into his car, he held her hand with one hand while steering with his other. Every time they stopped he would look at her with a smile before kissing the back of her hand. She smiled at him warmly as they pulled into the private garage and he had even told her to wait in the car. Getting her bag from the trunk, to opening the door for her, he held out his hand like a gentleman. 

Whoever said that chivalry was dead had clearly not met Kim Soo Hyun. 

As they entered his apartment, she saw the pair of pink hello kitty slippers waiting for her. "When did you buy this?" She laughed and slipped them on.

"Actually those are mine." He joked before slipping into his actual plain black slippers. "I saw them one day when I was browsing online...Do you like them?" 

"좋아요! (I like them!) " She said with a laugh as she nodded and walked into the familiar apartment before she peered out the floor to ceiling window. "I can never get tired of this view." 

He set down her bag on the floor as he followed behind her, wrapping his arms around her back and putting his chin on top of her shoulder. "Me neither." He whispered before tilting his head to look at her. "This view." His eyes were on her as she turned to look at him staring at her with honey dripping eyes. "예쁘다. (You're pretty.)" 

She exhaled softly before she turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck before pulling him in for a kiss. "Oppa, 수고했어요 (You've worked hard.) I can't imagine anyone else that could have been my Baek Hyun Woo." 

"너도. (You too.) " He whispered back as he pulled away to press his forehead against her's. His smile reached his eyes before he picked her up and she squealed and giggled in response. "Thank you for being my Hong Hae In...and thank you for being my Ji Wonie." 

"Oh...did I not pack it?" She huffed as she stood in front of her overnight bag clad in one of his shirts that was too big on her but she designated as her sleep shirt. Brows furrowing, she rummaged through the bag with a pout.

"What are you missing?" He asked as he dried his hair with a towel and stood at the door of the bathroom.

"My toothbrush." She sighed and dropped her hands. "I think I left it on my kitchen table when I was double checking my bag." 

"I have a spare toothbrush you can use." He tilted his head as he leaned against the doorway. "You know...There is a way for this to not happen again." 

She turned her head to look at him innocently and he felt his lips curve into a small smile. She was so cute without even trying. 

"We can move in together. No more overnight bags for either of us. It would make date nights easier and..." He shuffled his feet a bit and shyly smiled at her. "It'd be nice to come home and see you there. To be able to wake up and see your things next to mine...To come home and see you every time...or even just your things..."

She looked at him silently before she sat down on the bed, crossing her legs and putting a hand under her chin.  Her lips pursed slightly as she moved them side to side. This wasn't the first time he mentioned it. This would actually be the fourth time. But before he had always said it almost as a joke, to coax her into staying with him a bit longer. 

But it was also a huge step in their relationship. Especially now that there would be a clear shift in how much they'd have with each other. They were no longer filming and they would both need to shift into promoting the drama that they had worked hard on. And after that would be award season and finding new projects.
