[ completed ] A Special Gift ; markyeon

01.

Nayeon had been acting a little strange and she had been getting really tired lately. Sometimes, Mark will find her asleep on their couch while waiting for him to come back from work and he will always carry her back to their bedroom which he didn't mind. What he really minded was the fact that he's never home later than 10 but, Nayeon would most probably be asleep at that time.

He had brought it up a few times but, Nayeon just brushed him off, saying that it's probably her getting all worn out by the young kids at her workplace or that the wedding preparations are getting a little more hectic. He was still sceptical about her explanation but accepted it anyway since it did sound like the most likely reason.

But still, he couldn't find a possible reason why would Nayeon suddenly craved for sushi when she doesn't really like them. And the fact that she's been avoiding sweet stuffs and got addicted to sour food.

The idea of her being pregnant did occur to Mark but he brushed that thought away since Nayeon will definitely tell him if it's true. She will also probably be the most excited since he knew how much his fiancee loves kids. He will never forget how he choked on his water when Nayeon joked about wanting ten kids in the future.

Mark and Nayeon had been dating for five years, ever since Nayeon blurted her feelings out. They were a couple whom everyone around them finds fascinating. Most of them had expected Mark to date a quieter and softer girl. Nayeon was the total opposite of that description. However, as one of their friends stated, that's probably also the reason why they are such a perfect match.

Now, it's been two years since the both of them had been living in their own apartment while their wedding is just a few months away. And within these few months, things got a lot more interesting.

"Are you sure you're healthy enough? I can take some time off to settle the issue with the wedding venue." Mark asked for the umpteenth time that morning while Nayeon helped him put on his tie, half ignoring his question. There's going to be an important meeting later and he's here worrying about her.

"Nayeon." His firm voice was what made Nayeon finally looked up at him. "Are you sure you're-"

"I am, silly. I am better than fine, we've gone through this topic for the past two weeks. Besides, you have an important meeting right?" Nayeon shook her head, chuckling lightly at how her fiance could be so long winded. Though it does make her feel really loved and that's probably one of the reasons why she kept falling harder for him.

"You're going to be late."

Mark sighed. He knew how stubborn Nayeon could get if she wanted to so, he had no choice but to just believe her for now. He gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead before heading out of the apartment. Nayeon watched him by the door until he's completely gone before she stepped back into their house to get ready.

When Mark got back from work, he's not surprised to find Nayeon asleep on the couch again. He turned off the television which was still playing the drama Nayeon had been watching lately. He assumed she fell asleep while watching. It really had been a long day for her since he knew that she went straight back to her school after settling the issue on their wedding venue instead of taking a full day leave. He felt a little bad for Nayeon to be the one handling almost everything. Jungyeon helped them out a lot but he wished that this big project of his will end soon so he will be able to spend more time with her and be of more help. But every time he offered his help and apologised, Nayeon will just tell him to focus on his work and that she knows how important it meant to him. And each time those words came from her mouth, he felt both comforted and guilty.

Mark can't help but to find Nayeon acting a lot more strange than before the next few days. She's been smiling a lot, not that she doesn't smile but that smile didn't seem to leave from the moment she woke up. He had spotted her humming a quiet tune to herself and sometimes, he would find her muttering to herself.
