Our Spring: A Love is More Than a Number Sequel (Lee Donghae)

Chapter 5

"Did you sleep in here? Was I snoring?" An innocent look played on Donghae's sleepy face as he came to the living room in the morning, probably realizing I wasn't in the bed.

"Oh no babe, it wasn't you. I didn't want to wake you so I went in here to watch some tv, I couldn't sleep," I reached up a hand beckoning him towards me and he took it, lacing our fingers together and have me a kiss on my head.

"Are you okay? It's not the baby is it?" His brows furrowed in concern as he looked towards my belly.

"No, the baby is fine Donghae," I smiled up at him. "I just couldn't stop worrying about dad, what if there's something really wrong with him?" I gave him a sad look and sighed heavily, bringing my legs up on the couch and resting my head on my knees.

He caressed my cheek softly with the back of his hand and sat down next to me, wrapping a strong arm around me. I leaned into him, feeling his body heat radiating on my skin.

"Oh honey.. I know you're worried, I'm sure he's fine. But I'll go check on him and make sure everything is alright. He's become like a dad to me, I'm worried about him too, and if I think there's something concerning we'll figure it out together and get him to the doctor, okay?" He kissed my temple and tightened his hold on me.

"Thanks babe, you're just the best! I'm so lucky to have you. I know I shouldn't think the worst already, but I can't help it. I'm not ready to face another heartbreak," I pouted sadly and took a deep shaky breath to steady myself, trying not to cry.

"Hey, it's gonna be okay. I'm here..." He whispered and softly kissed the top of my head.
I knew I shouldn't worry too much, but hearing these things from Eun Jae just made me realize that this behavior wasn't normal for dad and he wasn't that old, that he would suddenly forget such crucial stuff in our lives.

There was no other way than to get to the bottom of it and hopefully dad would be just fine.

"I love you so much, you know that?" I said burying my face in the crook of his neck, breathing all of him in. All of what I'd missed for so long when he had been touring overseas.

I could feel him shaking his body as he let out a small chuckle. "I know, I figured that much when you agreed to marry me. I love you too."

"Would it be okay if the gang came over for dinner this evening?" He then asked and laced our fingers together.

"Sure, but can we order from outside, I don't think I'll be able to cook much when I come back from work," I gave his hand a squeeze and kissed his cheek.

"Of course baby, I didn't expect you to either way. I'll handle it, go get ready for work, I'll get you some coffee," he stood up and gave my lips a soft peck before pushing me into the bedroom to get ready.

I grinned widely at him and opened the closet door to figure out what to wear. I found my favorite skirt and matched it with a basic white blouse and threw it on before I did a light makeup and tossed my hair in a bun.

After a few minutes, the air had changed into a deliciously smelling coffee and I stood silently with my eyes closed and sniffed the air.
The smell drew me to the kitchen where Donghae was waiting for me with coffee in his hands.

"Here you go my love," he grinned at me and gave me the mug with steaming hot coffee and a dash of milk, my favorite. "You're so sweet oppa,thank you," I kissed his cheek softly and took a long sip from the mug.

He smiled and grabbed my waist pulling me towards him. His arms wrapped around my waist, his eyes gazing into mine.
"I still cant believe we're having a baby,"
I chuckled, "Me neither, but I'm quite sure the baby is going to be just as wonderful as their daddy."

"Hopefully, it'll be as wonderful as their mom too," he softly kissed my nose and hugged me tight.

"The baby will be just perfect," I noted and buried my face into the crook of his neck.
"Shouldn't you get going? As much as I'd love to stay here like this all day, I don't think your coworkers would love that," he glanced down at his watch and then released me.

I instantly missed him, the warmth of his touch and his body.
"Alright I should go, I love you. See you when I get back," I reached up tip toeing and gave his cheek a quick peck.

"I love you too, see you," he grinned widely and I frantically ran around grabbing my stuff and headed out the door.

Work was kind of slow, not much was to be done and before I knew it, we were heading to the cafeteria in the building for lunch. "So, hows everything? The baby doing alright?" Yeseul asked bringing a tray of food with her to our table.

"Everything's good, baby's doing good. We're just excited really." I replied, taking a bite of kimchi fried rice. It had only been a few weeks after everyone found out. Most of the figured it out when I ran to the bathroom to throw up at the bar and Donggeun's lips weren't exactly sealed, so everyone pretty much knew the day after I came to work.

"It's so cute Y/n! I still can't believe you're having a baby, I'm really looking forward to meet your mini me," She smiled taking a bite of her own food.
I chuckled at her, "Yeseul, you're so sweet! I'm sure this bean is looking forward to meeting you too." I pointed to my stomach and rubbed it gently.

Yeseul was one of the coworkers I was closest to along with Donggeun and she had a personality that resembled both Eun-Jae and Ha-Ra, which is the best combination in the whole world, at least for me.

"It's gonna be awesome. By the way, did you see the magazine cover with Hongseok? How hot is that bod?" Her eyes lit up and she looked right about to drool.

I gave her a gentle slap on the arm, "Aish Yeseul! Are you hitting on our idols now? But yeah I saw, he looks like a proper man now, but... I still think Donghae's bod is the best,"

She pulled a hand up in front of her mouth "Wahh, so shameless! I'm so jealous though, you're lucky!"

"Haha sorry, couldn't help myself. Thanks Yeseul, I think so too," I wrapped an arm around her and half hugged her.
We chatted for the rest of the lunch before heading back to our offices.

After feeling like being at work for 100 hours, I was finally off and prepared myself to get home.

I was looking forward to seeing the super junior guys after a while.

Hey guys, sorry for the long wait, I haven't been well lately and I realized that depression doesn't really disappear, so sometimes it's really tough.
But I hope you enjoyed the chapter and I'll make sure to be better at updating xx
Thanks guys x
