New chapter :)
Thank you for waiting for the new chap! Enjoy! xx

"Babe?" a soft voice was whispering in my ear as my body was shaken lightly.

"Mhmm... " I stretched my body making it as long as possible. My eyes slowly flickered open and was met by Donghae's loving gaze and smiled at him.

"Hey... Did you just come home?"

"Yeah, I did. You must have been tired," he gestured to me and the couch and I nodded.

"I made some food for you," I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave his cheek a quick peck.

"Awe, you're so sweet! What would I've done without you?" he grabbed my head and kissed the top of it.

"I know right," I smirked raising a brow, "It's kimchi jjigae, let me just heat it up for you."
I stood up, gently poking his nose before making my way to the kitchen to heat up the stew.

I could hear his heavy footsteps behind me and then a pair of arms wrapped around my waist and his chin resting on my shoulder.

I always loved his back hugs, they were the best. So comforting and safe.

The pot was resting on the cold stove and I turned on the stove full blast, to heat up the stew. When it was turned on and starting to warm up, I turned to face Donghae and wrapped my arms around him, nuzzling into his chest. 

He always smelled clean, a nice a manly musky detergent scent. "How's your sister?" he asked resting his head on mine. "She's okay. They're sending her to a health centre nearby to get her back to herself again." I breathed heavily through my nose and closed my eyes. 

"So many things have happened recently, and I feel like I never get to catch a break. It honestly sucks..." Clearly frustrated, I couldn't keep all the things that bothered me, inside anymore. 

And honestly, it did suck. There always seemed to be something, losing the store, Eun Jae being sick, dad not accepting Donghae, me being shot at the store. 

All those things... I wish they just never happened. But since they were out of my control, how could I decide what should and what shouldn't happen?

I guess they were just things that had to happen, and somehow by thinking that, it would in some way be okay. Turns out it doesn't make it any less painful or for that matter okay. 

I frankly needed a long break from all of this. Just take Donghae's hand and leave, go somewhere out of town and come home again when I felt like it. Sadly, that wasn't a reality that would go anywhere. 

Donghae worked too much and so did I when I wasn't looking after my family. 

"I know sweetie... I honestly can't tell you why all of these things have happened, and trust me, if I could, I'd rewind time and make sure they didn't happen," he tightened the embrace and gently caressed the small of my back. 

"This is why I need you. You always make me feel less like crap. I... I love you," I looked up at him, complete silence as our eyes locked. 

At first, there was no response from Donghae, just him looking at me, completely silent. 

Should I not have said anything? 

Damn it, I should just have shut my big fat mouth. 

Then the corners of his mouth started to twitch and they turned into an upward grin.

"I love you too. Always thought I'd be the one to say it first, but you beat me to it," he grinned widely and gently kissed my lips. 

I could breathe normally again, for a moment I actually thought I'd gone too far and said it too soon, but luckily he felt the same. 

I was floating on a pink cloud, almost forgetting where I was and what I was doing. Then the pot boiling over woke me from my cloudy mind.

"Shit!" I burst out and in a frantic panic pushed Donghae aside like I was taking a bullet for him. I turned off the stove and got the pot away from the heat. Most of the stew was bubbling on the stove and only a little amount was left in the pot. 

"I'm such a clutz! I'm sorry, there's barely any left." I pouted and looked from the pot to Donghae, who was smiling big. 

"What?"

"Nothing, you're just really cute. Forget the stew, I'll live," he pulled me close again and embraced me in a hug. 

"Still... I'm sorry..." 

"Don't worry about it, you'll make it again, this won't be the last time you make kimchi stew babe. Let's just appreciate the fact that I can hug you like this right now." 

"I guess you're right. How was work?" 

Donghae tightened the hug, "It was alright. I just missed you the whole day, counting the hours till I'd be home to see you." 

"Aww, you're such a cheeseball." I giggled and poked his arm. 

"Well, I'm your cheeseball," he teased and pulled away looking at me. 

"I'm tired, let's go to bed," he dragged me by the hand to the bedroom where he jumped onto the bed. 

"Wash up before you go to bed babe," I snapped after him and earned a girly giggle from him. 

"Let's do it together. Wanna join me in the shower?" he stood up, swiftly pulled off his shirt, revealing a set off perfect Abercrombie worthy abs and ran to the bathroom. 

My whole face felt hot and I'm pretty sure I looked like the reddest tomato in the world. I was really shy about my body and now he wanted me to join him in the shower. We hadn't actually seen each other naked before, we still hadn't had sex. 

So to be this close to him in the shower, naked, was kind of nervewracking for me. 

"Babe? Are you coming?" he called from the bathroom and then the shower turned on and I could hear the water running and splashing onto the floor. 

Should I just do it? Get it over with? 

"Alright, I'm coming," I yelled after him and sighed as I stripped out of my clothes carefully. It felt weird to be doing this, but at the same time, he loved me so there was nothing I had to be ashamed of. 

"Hey pretty girl," Donghae catcalled when I entered the bathroom. I blushed furiously, "Stop it, you're making me blush sir..." 

"Get in here!" he opened the door to the shower cabinet and dragged me inside the warm water running down on the floor. I couldn't look down, my eyes kept their level only above the torso, I was was too shy otherwise. 

"I'm glad I met you," he came closer and cupped my cheeks in his hands and kissed me. 

"Me too," I returned the kiss and wrapped my arms around his naked waist. 

I completely forgot we were naked and in the shower. I just melted into his kiss and my mind became a big messy jelly. 

Even though I never expected it to happen like this, my first time with him happened in the shower and it was amazing. 

I felt a sensation I'd never felt before, it couldn't be described, but in whatever way he touched or kissed me, I felt comfortable and safe with him. 

It was weird, but I was happy it happened like that.

What did think about that twist? 😜
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter :)
