"Say..." Hakyeon started, earning attention from the man sitting on the opposite table. After twenty minutes of eating in silence, only accompanied by the sounds of their cutleries, Hakyeon thought it would be appropriate for him to talk.

The man on the opposite table looked up, staring at him like a predator. Eyes sharp that never failed making Hakyeon shivers, sometimes he would even wake up in the middle of the night when those eyes appeared in his dream. The man says nothing, probably waiting for him to continue his words.

Hakyeon gulped down his saliva. Okay, he is not going to eat you, or screams at you. You can do this. "Umm... My semester break would be in three weeks..." He talks, slowly that the words came out one by one, he paused and looked at the man to see his reaction. But as usual, the man stayed with his stone-no-expression face. Not that Hakyeon really hopes for any change of his expression.

"Hmm?" The man, Jung Taekwoon finally let out a voice. That is if 'hmmm' is considered as a word.

"A-and I will be having like three months holiday. So..." Hakyeon continued. Then saw how Taekwoon's expression change a little to a more serious face, showing that now his full attention is on Hakyeon.

Fuck. I should not have been the one asking him. Hyung would be a better person to ask about this from me. Is it to late for Hakyeon to back out? His older hyung probably would gladly help him though. Looking at Taekwoon right now.... damn! he is so gonna get mad.

"Continue, Hakyeon" Taekwoon said with his serious tone, pulling Hakyeon out of his thoughts. It is whether he is tired of the slow-paced conversation between them or he just wants Hakyeon to get over it. Nothing in between.

Hakyeon knows this is not a good idea, but he just continued anyways. Asking wouldn't hurt, right? "So can I work on that three months. Umm it's not like I have anything to do anyways right. I promise I would not inconvenient you in any ways, my friends would pick me up and I will be back before office hour" he blurted out, rather fastly. He is not sure whether Taekwoon heard everything but at least he succeeds in asking. He has been planning to work during his semester break, even before he got married. Plus, he and his friends already marked a few place they can work at, that is if his husband allows him to.

Taekwoon frowned a little more, before he replied. God what is wrong with this old man why does he frowns so much? Technically, Taekwoon is not that old to be called old man, he is the same age as Hakyeon's brother so that would make Taekwoon twenty-eight. Hakyeon is now twenty-two. Six years are not a big number, right? But whatever, to Hakyeon anyone who is older than him is an old man. No one argues with his logic. "Well, my answer is no. Just stay home, do whatever you want. If you want anything to buy just tell me, I can afford it. It's my job. You don't have to work" Taekwoon said, firmly that leaves Hakyeon no rooms to argue.

It's not about the money! Hakyeon wants to argue, but he does not have the courage to do so. Hakyeon tries to hide his disappointment, and smile instead. "Okay. If you say so" he continued to eat, holding his tears from coming out.

It's okay, Hakyeon. It's okay.

•••

[Hongbin] God. Really? Does he really need to b that strict w you? Money isn't everything you know!

[Hakyeon] yeah, and I'm too afraid to argue about that ;-;

[Hongbin] what an annoying old man. Can I just come & knock some sense into yr husband????

[Hakyeon] bin nooo!!

"Hakyeon" Hakyeon heard Taekwoon called him, accompanied with a loud knock. "Umm.. yeah?" Hakyeon answered, he turned his head to the door. Does Taekwoon want to come in? Because to be honest Hakyeon is too lazy to get up and open the door for him.

"I'm going to sleep. Make sure you turn off the lights later" Taekwoon reminds him. Hakyeon answered an okay before he continued looking at his laptop.

[Hakyeon] hes going to sleep. Gtg

[Hongbin] u really hv to go? Its not like u guys r going to do anything anyways

[Hakyeon] still, i cant let him sleep alone @.@ ttyl

[Hongbin] yeah whatever see you on monday! bb

Hakyeon smiles, knowing what expression Hongbin is having on his face right now. He shut his laptop off and stands up. After making sure everything is in place, he turns off the lights of his study room and proceeds to his shared bedroom with Taekwoon.

It's been one month since they get married, him and Taekwoon. Being the only omega in the family, Hakyeon knows his dad going to marry him off with someone one day. Though no one in his family directly told him that, he just came into knowing that as he grew up.

He was born in a great family, his parents and other siblings are alphas, leaving him as the only omega in the family, but he always gets the same treatments like his other siblings got. Well, let's put aside the part where his parents were more strict in controlling him, more protective of him because he's an omega. He remembered in high school, when he asked to go to a camp with his friends and his parents don't let him. Afraid that something would happen to him.

Thank god he got accepted into one of the University a little far from his house, hence he gets to live in the campus. God, he really enjoyed living in the campus. It's saddening knowing it's only two more semesters before he graduates. Would he get the freedom he wants just like in college once he finished studying? Looking at how Taekwoon would not let him work during the semester break, Hakyeon can say bye-bye to his freedom.

"He's a good guy, I promise" his father said one day when he got back from Uni, telling that he's going to get married to his father's friend. Well, he knew that he's going to get married one day but he did not expect to be married when he's on a third year in studying. Just another year and he is finished with degree. Couldn't they wait a little more? He wants to enjoy his University life fully... Just, why?

He spotted Taekwoon already sleeping on the bed. The room is already dimmed, only the bed lamp next to his bed is turned on. Taekwoon is like usual, sleeping facing the other side. Hakyeon turned the bed lamp off, before laying his body next to his husband.

"Good night" he whispered more like to himself, knowing that there's 0% possibility that Taekwoon would reply or heard him.
