Chapter 13: Stuck In The Moment
Jinhwan felt like over the clouds at the moment as they walked the block while looking for a cake. He secretly planned to surprise Hanbin the night before their anniversary to make it more special. He felt guilty for lying to his fiancé that he won't be in Seoul until the next day. He thought it was also kind of Junhoe to help him prepare the surprise cake for their anniversary.
"I am really not fond of cakes, but this shop sells really good cake." Junhoe said while they were walking side by side. He smiled seeing Junhoe holding the bag of ingredients for their meal tomorrow.
"Since you recommend it, it must be really good." Jinhwan enthusiastically said.
"Of course! I don't usually recommend anything, so this is big deal, hyung. Give me some credits if Hanbin-ssi liked it." Junhoe said and smiled widely at him being proud of himself at the moment.
"If he likes it, it'll be a big deal. I swear. He doesn't like sweets. I'll let you know if he flips the cake." Jinhwan teased him and they both laughed.
"If he does that, tell him not to touch the cake. I'm gonna eat it instead."
They hit the cake shop and ordered Strawberry Salted Cheese cake as Junhoe recommended. The cake looked so pretty and delicious so Jinhwan felt good about Hanbin actually liking it.
It was already late afternoon when Junhoe drove him back to Hanbin's dorm secretly.
"Thanks, Junhoe-ya. This means a lot to me." He said before he unbuckled the seatbelt.
"Good luck, hyung. Fighting!" Junhoe responded and held both of his fist up in the air and cheered for him.
"Drive safe! Bye." Jinhwan lastly said and got off the car.
He happily went up the building even greeting the bodyguard with his sweet smile.
He hid the ingredients in the fridge so Hanbin won't find any traces of him in the house though after doing the hiding task, he cleaned the house after.
It's 10:30pm already and he's so nervous waiting for Hanbin. He didn't want to ask what time he is off from work since he doesn't want to be suspicious to Hanbin. So, he just waited there with heart full of excitement. He missed his fiancé so much and he couldn't wait to see him in a few more minutes. But since he was used to Hanbin's routine most of the time, he guessed that he will be off work at 11pm because that's his usual schedule.
He checked the time on the wall clock and it's already 11:02pm so he decided to prepare. He slowly got the cake out of the box from the fridge. He put 3 slim white candles at the center of the strawberries and lit them up. He switched off the lights and went inside the room. He opened the dim light beside Hanbin's bed and also turned off the main light to achieve a more romantic vibe once Hanbin went inside the room and see him holding the Strawberry cake.
He felt so, nervous as he checked the time on his wrist watch. It's already 11:10pm and anytime soon Hanbin will open the room door. He heard a soft clicking sound from outside, so he held the cake carefully on his hand as he sat on the side of the bed facing the door. He was so excited, but the nervousness never disappeared.
"What is it? Can we just talk that some other day?"
Jinhwan heard Hanbin's voice. He was confused and curious about who he was talking to. He didn't want to reveal himself because he still wanted to pull off his little surprise, so he remained silent on his seat while carrying the cake with 3 lit candles.
