Kihyun woke up the next morning to an empty space next to him. He sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He looked around and saw Hyunwoo had gotten dressed and looked like he was getting ready to go out somewhere.
"Hyunwoo where are you going?" Kihyun's voice was still croaky from sleep, Hyunwoo smiled slightly.
"Out. I just need to get out for the day." Hyunwoo deadpanned.
"Hyunwoo I'm so sorry if I upset you last night, I really wasn't thinking straight." Kihyun stood up and walked over to his boyfriend. He was about to hug him when Hyunwoo suddenly started walking to the door and out into the kitchen.
"Hyunwoo wait I-" Kihyun followed him and grabbed hold of his arm.
"Kihyun stop. Just, I need to have a day to myself today to think things over. At least let me do that, it's not like I do it every day." Hyunwoo internally cursed himself when he saw a hurt look come over the younger's face. Maybe my words were too harsh.
"I'm sorry." Kihyun's voice was barely louder than a whisper. He felt tears began to sting his eyes so he turned around and walked back into their room, curling up on top of the bed.
Hyunwoo sighed and finished getting ready. He had something planned for Kihyun that he wanted to keep a secret, but it wasn't exactly going as planned so far, Kihyun sounded like he was pretty hurt by things he had said. Hyunwoo hoped it wouldn't be worse later.
Hyunwoo walked into the bedroom and saw Kihyun lying on the bed, curled up and looking so small. "Hey, Kihyunnie I'm sorry." Hyunwoo walked over to the bed and sat on the end, stroking Kihyun's hair.
Kihyun sniffled and shuffled so he could see Hyunwoo. "Don't be, I understand if you need time alone. Go do whatever you have planned." Kihyun shuffled back into his original position, facing away from Hyunwoo.
Hyunwoo sighed and rubbed Kihyun's arm before standing up and exiting the room. He grabbed his bag and keys and left Kihyun alone in their apartment, the feeling of guilt hanging over him like a storm cloud.
____________________________
Hyunwoo arrived home in the late afternoon, he assumed Kihyun was still upset since he hadn't received any texts from the younger boy all day. He unlocked the door and hung his keys up on the key hook. "Kihyunnie I'm back!" No response. Hyunwoo walked into the lounge room and spotted Kihyun curled up in the corner of the couch under some blankets. He was watching Goblin and eating some popcorn.
Kihyun grabbed the remote and paused the show. He looked up to Hyunwoo who was in the doorway and gave a small smile. "Hey. How was your day?" He sat up and placed the bowl of popcorn on the coffee table in front of him.
"It was fine. Missed you lots." Hyunwoo walked over and sat on the couch next to Kihyun, giving him one of his toothy grins.
Kihyun blushed slightly, he could never stay mad at Hyunwoo when he smiled like that. "What did you do?"
Hyunwoo ruffled around in his bag and pulled out some papers, dropping the bag at his feet. "Well Kihyunnie, I thought about what you said last night. Actually, I've been thinking about it for a while, I was planning to do this in a little while but since you mentioned it last night, I decided to bring my little....surprise forward a bit." Hyunwoo handed the papers over to Kihyun. Kihyun looked at him with a confused expression. "Read the papers Kihyun!"
Kihyun turned the papers over in his hands and immediately teared up as he read the big, bold letters at the top of the first page: 'ADOPTION PAPERS'. "H-Hyunwoo I-" Kihyun couldn't keep his sobs in any longer, he cried into his arm as Hyunwoo wrapped his arms around him protectively.
"I'm so so so sorry Kihyunnie, for acting so harshly, I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted this to be an amazing surprise." Hyunwoo rubbed Kihyun's shoulder and placed a kiss on the younger's head.
Kihyun sniffled and looked up at his boyfriend. "It IS an amazing surprise Hyunwoo!" Kihyun quickly turned around and wrapped his arms around Hyunwoo's neck, placing a kiss on his cheek and whispering into his ear. "I love you so much, thank you."
Hyunwoo pulled away and looked directly into Kihyun's eyes. "I love you too. Since you're not working again tomorrow and I have nowhere to be, why don't we go to the adoption centre and sort this all out?"
"Hyunwoo I'd love to! Thank you so so so much. You don't need to apologise for earlier, I overreacted. I'm so glad to have you in my life Hyunwoo." Kihyun placed the adoption papers on the coffee table and wrapped his arms back around Hyunwoo's neck, burying his head just below Hyunwoo's shoulders. Hyunwoo wrapped his arms around Kihyun's waist and they held each other close. Eventually, they broke free of the hug so Kihyun could go make them dinner. Kihyun decided to make kimchi fried rice since he was feeling happy and excited. Hyunwoo sat on a stool at the breakfast bar and stared at Kihyun with heart eyes as he cooked.
After they ate they cuddled on the couch together continuing to watch Goblin. Hyunwoo noticed Kihyun nodding off and checked the time. It was almost midnight so Hunwoo decided they should shower and go to bed. Hyunwoo let Kihyun have the first shower while he did the dishes. Kihyun came out of the bathroom in an oversized shirt Hyunwoo recognised as his own and some checkered pyjama pants. He was sleepily rubbing his eyes.
Kihyun looked up and noticed Hyunwoo was doing the dishes. "Oh Hyung I was gonna wash up after I got out."
"It's alright Kihyunnie I'm almost done anyways. Go to bed, I'll be there soon okay? Hyunwoo placed a bowl on the dish rack and continued to wash the last couple of dishes.
"Okay. Don't be too long." Kihyun rubbed at his eyes once more before turning around and walking into their bedroom.
Hyunwoo finished washing the dishes and showered. When he went into their bedroom Kihyun was already asleep under the covers. Hyunwoo smiled at how cute Kihyun looked when he slept, his lips slightly parted and his hair a bit messy. Hyunwoo slid into bed next to Kihyun, wrapping his arms around the smaller boy's waist, earning a cute muffled noise from the younger.
Hyunwoo kissed Kihyun's cheek. "Goodnight baby, I love you so much."
"Mm love you tho much too." Kihyun's voice was heavy with sleep which made his lisp come out, Hyunwoo chuckled.
He didn't know what he did to deserve to have someone as beautiful, caring or kind as Kihyun in his life, but he was thankful he had him. They both slept happily together that night, bodies pressed together and legs intertwined, the sound of each other's hearts beating lulling them to a peaceful slumber.
