Hyemi stirs. Yells and chatters of the workers from the construction site in her neighbour do such nice job at awaking her hearing, but not enough to wake her up completely though.
Not until sunlight filters through the curtain hanging on the window, adorning her cheek with 'marks'.
Stretching her arms across the bed, she feels her hand hit something. Abruptly, she turns her head to the right and sees Hongjoong's clothed chest.
Lucky it's just a light hit.
She relieves mentally, glancing back at her boyfriend, who still deep in his slumber, just rolls on his back as a result of her harmless move. It hits Hyemi that this bed is no longer for only her to sleep. Considering how frequent he comes here to sleep, her bed is practically his now.
Vice versa, his is hers.
Six months have already passed since the day their friendship bloomed into something new - lovers. Giddiness fills Hyemi up as she thinks back on their current life.
One where only the two of them together.
In the morning, she has the house for herself doing everything she wants. House chores? Nothing much to do as mostly it's just her at home while he's at the office, busy with his work of creation. In the afternoon, she attends baking class then shops for groceries and ingredients for baking recipe. When night falls, she finds herself cooking dinner, secretly hoping Hongjoong to appear at the front door of their home so they can dig in together.
Though he gets home late most of the time which is a pattern, Hyemi doesn't have to worry much because he would always inform her through messages.
At least they both know he's trying to tone it down.
On weekends like this, they choose to sleep in most of the time, with his arm around her waist; or hers around his torso; or just both. Of course there were hot in the face moments at first - since they have been just friends way too long - but it soon progressed into natural, regular gesture later on.
Like seriously, none of them can recall how tentative they used to be at the beginning into this relationship anymore.
Her lovesick smile soon retreats when someone rings the doorbell. Smoothing her tangled hair for a decent look, Hyemi quickly gets up from her bed but manages to move as gently as possible without disturbing one of the rare occasions when Hongjoong can get such full straight sleep like this.
She opens the door. A delivery man appears with a huge bouquet skilfully wrapped in beige paper wrapper in hand.
"Hello Miss. May I deliver this to Mister Kim Hongjoong?"
His words catch Hyemi off guard. She gives the bouquet a closer look to see the content is delicate white lilies blending with lively hue of lilacs.
