Goodbye, My Lover

One

Sunlight filtered through the large windows of Yunho's apartment, casting a golden glow over the room. Wooyoung was curled up on the couch, pouting as he scrolled through his phone. Yunho stood in the kitchen, humming softly as he poured pancake batter into a sizzling pan, a grin spreading across his face at the sight of his boyfriend.

"Stop making that face," Yunho called, a playful lilt to his voice. "You're gonna scare the neighbors if you keep pouting like that."

Wooyoung looked up, his pout deepening. "You promised me pancakes half an hour ago, Yunho. I'm starving! I think I'm going to faint from hunger," he whined, dramatically clutching his stomach.

Yunho chuckled, his heart warming at the sight of Wooyoung's exaggerated antics. "I'm almost done, babe. Patience is a virtue, you know."

Wooyoung scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Patience is overrated. Especially when it comes to food."

Yunho flipped the pancake with a flourish, then turned off the stove and carefully placed the stack of golden pancakes onto a plate. He walked over to the couch, his smile widening as Wooyoung's eyes lit up at the sight of breakfast.

"Finally!" Wooyoung cheered, sitting up and grabbing his fork. "You really are my hero."

Yunho set the plate on the coffee table, then leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to Wooyoung's forehead. "Anything for my favorite little troublemaker."

Wooyoung's cheeks flushed pink, but he tried to hide his bashful smile behind his fork. "You're so cheesy," he mumbled, but his heart raced anyway, loving every second of Yunho's affection.

Yunho plopped down beside him, propping his chin in his hand as he watched Wooyoung take a big, satisfied bite of pancake. "Is it good?" he asked, his voice soft and full of adoration.

Wooyoung nodded enthusiastically, his eyes shining. "Perfect. Almost as perfect as you," he teased, leaning in to peck Yunho's cheek, leaving a faint, sweet syrupy kiss mark.

Yunho's laughter bubbled up, bright and carefree. "You're lucky you're cute, you know that?"

"Lucky?" Wooyoung smirked, leaning back with a playful twinkle in his eye. "I think you're the lucky one, dating someone as stunning as me."

Yunho leaned in closer, his face just inches away from Wooyoung's. "Oh, I know I'm lucky. How could I not be, with someone who lights up my world every single day?"

Wooyoung's teasing expression softened, his heart fluttering in his chest. He placed his fork down, wrapping his arms around Yunho's neck and pulling him into a gentle hug. "You're the worst," he whispered, his voice muffled against Yunho's shoulder. "How are you always this sweet?"

Yunho smiled, his arms encircling Wooyoung's waist as he buried his face in his boyfriend's hair. "Because you make it easy, Wooyoung. Loving you is the easiest thing I've ever done."

Wooyoung pulled back just enough to look into Yunho's eyes, his own glistening with happiness. "I love you, you know that?"

"I know," Yunho murmured, pressing a soft kiss to Wooyoung's lips. "And I love you more."

Wooyoung pulled back, raising an eyebrow. "More, huh? Careful, that sounds like a challenge."

Yunho laughed, shaking his head. "No challenge, just the truth. But if you want a challenge, I'll gladly prove it to you."

Wooyoung grinned, his playful energy returning. "Okay, fine. Prove it. Make me the happiest boyfriend in the world today."

Yunho stood up, scooping Wooyoung into his arms effortlessly. Wooyoung squealed, his laughter ringing through the apartment. "What are you doing?!" he shrieked, clinging to Yunho as he spun them around.

"Proving my love!" Yunho declared dramatically, spinning around the living room with Wooyoung in his arms. "I'll make you the happiest boyfriend in the world, starting now."

Wooyoung's laughter was infectious, and he couldn't stop the giggles that escaped him. "Okay, okay! You win!" he gasped between laughs, his cheeks flushed with pure joy. "I'm the happiest. I surrender."

Yunho finally set him down, and they both tumbled onto the couch, breathless and giddy. Wooyoung nestled against Yunho, his heart full to bursting. "You're ridiculous," he whispered, pressing a kiss to Yunho's jaw.

"And you love it," Yunho replied, his smile soft and full of love.

Wooyoung sighed contentedly, feeling Yunho's heartbeat beneath his cheek. "Yeah," he whispered. "I really do."

They stayed like that, wrapped up in each other, with sunlight dancing around them and the smell of pancakes lingering in the air. In that moment, everything was perfect, and their love felt like the most beautiful thing in the world.
