My Cold Husband

Into Your Arms ~34~

May I come in?

It was the first time that Hona was here at Niko's place. Ju Seok was also in her arms. He chuckles at Niko.

Sure! Please come in.

Niko lets them sit and run to get some snacks. Namjoon wasn't notified as he was busy in his study room.

Here you go-

She places a tray full of cupcakes and brownies.

But there was no need for them.

You have to try them Unnie. I baked these on my own.

Ahh really?

Hona tastes each from one and everything was so good.

I have to say. You're good at backing.

Niko chuckles, as Ju Seok chuckles again as a reply.

Aww baby. You're too young to try them you know?

They started chitchatting like girls always do. After so many days Niko could talk like this.

Well, I was actually here to invite you to dinner.

Me?

Yeah. You and Mr Kim.

Niko's heart skips a bit. She doesn't think Namjoon would ever say yes to this. Moreover her exams are near.

Niko? Aren't you coming?

She was about to say no when Namjoon appears from nowhere.

Greetings Mrs Jung.

Hello Mr Kim!

Ju Seok gets cheerful into his mom's arm. He knows this man.

Will you both join us for dinner? Next Saturday.

We will be there on time.

That's great!

Niko couldn't believe her ears but that's how Namjoon agreed for their first ever hangout after marriage.

01:00

Niko turns to the other side and grabs a pillow. She closes her eyes tight but that wasn't a help. She couldn't sleep at all.

Why do I feel so crying?

She wasn't thinking about anything or anyone in particular. Just there was a pain. Deep inside her heart aches. She couldn't find a clue about it.

Namjoon wasn't showing his usual temper on her. Her periods were over last week but he didn't touch her at all after that. That was such a relief to Niko. Yet she doesn't know which sorrow is killing her from inside. She released a sigh which felt so heavy.

A few tear drops escape her eyes as she sits. It can't be her parents whom she is missing because they never made her feel in that way. They were always far apart from Niko even after staying under the same roof.

Shall I go and check on him?

Suddenly the idea interrupts her mind which she never ever thought about before.

She did have some dreams. About her husband. Like all the other girls. That he would always be there for her, support her no matter what. He would love her unconditionally and so would Niko. He would always pay attention even to the smallest thing related to Niko. He would remember special days like birthdays or anniversaries.

Thinking about all these some more tears roll. Only if he had her dream personality! But then, why doesn't she leave this person? Why can't she think of it? Why is the attachment for now that she had seen his true forms?

Maybe one day he'll change?

Niko was in front of Namjoon's room. She pushes the door softly and luckily it was opened. Taking a deep breath, she enters the room.

Namjoon seemed like lost in sleep. Niko kneels near the bed.

Shall I do this?

The dilemma doesn't stay for a long time. She has to do fast what she wants. Before his sleep breaks. She places her head on his chest after taking another deep breath. Then she places both her hands. The rhythm of his heartbeat felt so soothing for some reasons. Niko couldn't just get up.

A whole minute passes.

Guess I should go now.

Before Niko could stand up, two hands were wrapped around her. She couldn't process when Namjoon turned, holding her in that way. Her throat immediately dries. Did he catch her?

Laying on Namjoon now, Niko tries to understand if he was awakened. But he seemed quite normal, lost in a deep sleep. He just had Niko trapped in his arms. Close to his chest.

When Niko was sure that he wasn't up, her throat felt jammed. Being like this on the man of her desire, she was emotional. Never before he hugged her. She couldn't hold her sobbing and hugged Namjoon back, inhaling his cologne deep. He smelt the best.

P-pleas-e change-

She kept crying. He wasn't leaving the hug so she couldn't go. Her tears were wetting his shirt. She came here to stay for the smallest amount of time. Instead she prayed this moment to last forever now. It was a heavenly feeling, no doubt.

A while passed and Namjoon left the hug. But he was still sleeping. Niko somehow gets up covering her mouth, so that she could block the crying sound. Then she runs out.

Reaching her room she locked the door and sat on the floor crying. She needs this man so much. Not to humiliate but to protect her. Not to choke her to death but to caress her. Not to molest her like a beast but to embrace her.

E-even if it was all unconscious but- but I needed this. Eve-n after there was no emotion but I felt it so much. Will you ever understand h-how much I wanted love from you?

Niko felt relieved at some places still and slept after a while hugging her pillow.

Why was she here?

Namjoon wasn't sleeping. He didn't sleep. When he heard the door sound he pretended to sleep. He thought maybe she was here to steal something. After all she is a girl and all giπls are nothing but g°ld digge®s.

Leaving him surprised she did nothing but just keep her head on his chest. She was tearing up. Somewhere it made him feel low. Something inside him told him not to let her go. The other part of himself was saying the opposite.

His two sides kept arguing when Niko was about to go. So he had to hug her to obstruct. Also he turned, pulling her up on himself. Then there was such a feeling he never ever experienced. He felt so relaxed . With that there were various kinds of emotion. He didn't know how to explain that.

P-pleas-e change-

With every second passed, the emotion was only growing instead of fading. In fact he felt like pecking her. So he left the hug.

The world is so dumb. How can she expect me to change? There is no love. All of it is a lie.

And that's the time Niko escaped the room crying.

Not much for this update. I'm sorry for the delay. I just had a stupid mental breakdown.

I received the giveaway safely. I thought it was just an album but the kind giveaway organizer had sent me a whole box of treasure. I might add a pic in the next update.

Love y'all Bonsais 💜
