My eyelids slowly lifted to the morning sunlight streaming into my room. I smiled when I looked to my right, witnessing a beautiful scene in front of my eyes. My boyfriend Jeonghan was sleeping soundly, his breaths slow and soft. His white hair was dancing in the wind from the fan. The morning sun hit his face at the right spot, making him look breathtakingly beautiful. He looked peaceful, enjoying his break from the idol world and spending time with me. I didn't want to interrupt the few instances that he would sleep and left him in dreamland. I lifted his arm around my waist and placed it on his side, freeing myself from his embrace. I got out of the bed as slowly as I could and started my morning routine.
After that, I went into the kitchen and threw open the cupboard, wondering what I should make for breakfast. "Ah! Why not some chocolate pancakes?" I muttered to myself and grabbed the ingredients. I was busy mixing the batter when a pair of arms interlocked themselves around my waist. "Omo!" I startled and look to my shoulder, to see a half-awake Jeonghan with his chin on my shoulder, head resting on mine. His chest was pressed against my back, creating pleasant tingles that spread through my body. His warmth felt so good and I wanted to stay like this forever. The thought of us in the future brought a smile to my face, accompanied by a tint of pink on my cheeks.
"Good morning, Jagi-ya..." he mumbled into my ear and I smiled patting his head with my right hand. He looked down to the counter and immediately perked up. "Chocolate-chip pancakes? Yes!" he said, punching the air. I laughed and turned myself to face him, leaning on the counter.
"Why don't you cook them today, Jeonghannie?" I said leaning in closer to his face, looking at him straight in the eye. He looked down at me, surprised that our face were only inches apart.
"Why not?" he whispered, cupping my cheeks with his hands. He smiled genuinely at me and I returned it, amidst the pleasant feeling of his touch from my cheeks and chin. He pecked my nose and started off, with the pancakes, wearing his apron. I was startled by his sudden gesture as my fingers felt my nose. Nonetheless, I stood at the side watching Jeonghan attempting to cook.
Jeonghan took out the electric mixer and started beating the mixture. But he did not realise the full speed it was set on, sending batter flying everywhere. he placed the mixture on the counter, startled at the unexpected misfortune. I started guffawing with laughter, seeing him covered in specks and blotches of pancake mixture. He glared mockingly at me and my laughter dyed down to snickers. He dipped his fingers in some of the batter from his apron and turned to me, a mischievous smile on his face.
"Just wait, (y/n). this will be more funnier" he said launching himself towards me. Not wanting any batter on myself, I ran away from him, just to be caught by my wrist. My arms went over my head, covering my nape, as I curled into a ball and accepted defeat. Jeonghan began smearing batter all over my face, laughing, as I tried to swat his hand away. I gave up and just sit on the kitchen floor, both of us laughing at each other. I smiled at him being so carefree and laughing his heart out, happy that I could help him be...HIM.
