We spent the last days of our honeymoon in total bliss with our desires satiated. All we did is sleep, have sex, eat, tour the island, and repeat. But tonight, we are finally leaving the island and head home. While I was packing our pink suit in a small bag I suddenly felt a pang of sadness when I looked around the gold and red themed master bedroom.

I wish we could've stayed longer. I wish we could have this time alone in the future. But, alas our honeymoon phase in our newly-wed life will be cut short because of my upcoming childbirth. Soon, it'll not just be me and Jaehyun. Soon, we will be a family, I thought as I caressed my tummy unconsciously. 

"You okay, babe?" Jaehyun asked as he hugged me from behind. He encircled his arms around my waist and placed his big hands on my tummy too.

"I'm fine. It's just...I think I will miss this place." I admitted to him.

"You said we can always come back if this place is available," he replied softly in my ear.

"Yes, but...by then we will be busy with Peanut. On second thought, maybe we can ask my parents to watch over Peanut if we do manage to return here." I answered with a thoughtful expression.

"Sounds like a plan," he whispered before giving me a kiss on the cheek. "I'll miss this place too, with all your erotic demands but, I can't wait to finally set foot to our home," he added as he swayed us side to side. 

"I guess, you're right," I whispered back as I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Oh, that reminds me!" he exclaimed suddenly before releasing me from his embrace. He picked up his pink pants and rummaged in the back pocket for his wallet. He opened the wallet and took out what looked like small pieces of paper compressed into a miniature 'notebook' kind-of-style. 

"This is my last secret to reveal to you," he said with a sheepish grin as he handed me the tiny notebook. 

I took it in my hand with curiosity, I know we've promised that we will be honest with each other no matter what since the day under the cherry blossom trees at the park. So, I am curious about what other secrets he had been keeping from me. 

Without second thoughts, I opened the notebook and was greeted by his tiny handwriting scattered on the pages. I squinted my eyes and tried my best to decipher the words while I internally thanked Sang Je that I can read Hangeul. 

After a few seconds, the words registered in my mind and my eyes grew wide with acknowledgment. In my hands, is a tiny journal of all our interactions together. And when I said all, I mean everything. 

From the first time we met, the first kiss under the cherry blossoms, our first restaurant date, the food I ordered that time, our mall 'date', our movie night, things I like and dislike to eat (peach was highlighted, by the way), things that triggered me, things that pleasured me. He described my smile, my eyes, and just about everything. He also wrote some date ideas,  gift ideas, and such. The first sentences I saw are like : 


"He caressed my head until I fell asleep last night."
