- Welcome home baby! Emma smiled when she opened her apartment's door for Junmyeon.
- I still can't believe that we are here. Together, he smiled hugging her back. You know how many times I dreamed about being with you but the idea of the distance was killing me? I mean, I would have wanted to have you in the same city but...I would have never dared to ask you to move here. I would have come to New York every day just to see you.
- If only I told you I was here. You're staying here tonight, right?
- Yes. Of course, I want to sleep in your arms. You know I am already addicted to this.
- Well, I am not complaining. At all. You know that.
- Mhh, but tomorrow I have to leave early, unfortunately I have a schedule with my group.
- Don't worry, I am busy too.
- But.... I wanted to spend more tine with you, he said with his smile fading a little bit. I got used to seeing you all day long, but I will be stuck in the studio or the practice room with the guys instead?
- Ahh, come oooon. That's normal life, we both have to work, and if it helps, you know that I am your fan. I support you no matter what. And you can think that you are doing something for me tomorrow. Ok? And not only me, because you have a lot of fans, a lot of people support you and your talent, your work. And you know very well that they give you strength.
- You are right! Thank you for your support. You know what? You always know what to say to make me feel better.

     They both went to bed after eating a quick dinner that they cooked together. Being both tired from their long trip back from Hawaii, they fell asleep quickly. They had decided to stay at her place even if he had to leave early the next day, because he wanted to spend as much time as he could with her.
     Emma woke up early because she wanted to cook breakfast for her boyfriend. She liked the idea of taking care of him, of making sure he was eating good stuff. She hoped that she would be able to cook more often for him. She prepared some natto, rice, miso soup, kimchi, gyeran mari which she knew he liked very much and some oi muchim. Just as she finished preparing the table and was going to get him up, Junmyeon entered the kitchen rubbing his sleepy eyes.
- Oh you are up. Come here, I made breakfast for you, she said kissing his cheek.
- Baby, but you shouldn't have woken up so early just for this, he smiled and back hugged her. Thank you so much.
- I was not sure if you liked natto actually, but I hoped you did.
- I do honey. I love it, especially the way you did it, mixed with green onions. Oh my god!! You really cooked gyeran mari?? I...you are my queen! I've never been able to cook it  properly without burning it.
- Don't worry, I will cook it for you every time you want it.

     They both sat down and ate, or better said they fed each other. Junmyeon enjoyed eating in her company and told her at least 5 times that he really liked her food. After they finished, he took a quick shower and left. Emma went back to bed, and woke up after a few hours and went to work. Thankfully she had a lot of things to do, so she was able to concentrate on stuff other than her boyfriend.

     Days and weeks went on more or less the same for them. They were happy and very much in love with each other. There were times when they couldn't meet for a few days in a row because of his schedule with the group. With the months passing by, their bond grew stronger and stronger. They both agreed to keep their relationship private. She did not want to create him any issues with the colleagues, the company or the fans, so she wanted to keep a low profile. From his side the only ones who knew the truth were his parents, his brother, a few very close friends not related to his career, and his best friend from his band - Sehun. Sehun had not personally met Emma yet, but he knew about her existence, since he spent a lot of time with Junmyeon and he had noticed just how much time he spent on his phone. He was happy to see him happy and smiling, and he was sure that the girl had to be very nice.

     As time passed by Emma started to feel different and to think that she wasn't a good girlfriend for Junmyeon. She was very happy to have him around to make him smile, to cook for him, but she sometimes felt like she wanted more of his time and she didn't think it was really fair. She would have also wanted to enjoy dates freely without having to hide, to go to restaurants together, to amusement parks, to shopping malls, caffes and cinemas. The idea to hide their relationship had been hers too, and now she felt guilty because she wanted more. She knew that he wasn't always present just because of his job, and that this was not something that any of them could change. It was the path for which he had worked so many years, and she could feel that most of the times that he was leaving her home, Junmyeon was sad too. His attitude towards her hadn't changed at all during time, he was still being attentive and loving towards her.
