In His Eyes

Chapter 4: Slowly

The next morning, you woke up with your head slight aching and your eyes hurt. It's already 10 in the morning but you still feel dissatisfied with your sleep. You got up and went to your bathroom and washed your faced and brushed your teeth. After doing so, you went out of your room. You thought of knocking on Baekhyun's door but chickened out. You just headed to the kitchen to make some breakfast for yourself. When you were about to open the refrigerator, a big note caught your eyes. 'Went to work. See you later jagi. :)' You read the note smiling like an idiot. You suddenly shook your head and removed the smile on your face. "Am I slowly liking him?" You asked yourself. "No, no. That can't be." You told yourself as your shook your head.

You made yourself something to eat for this morning. After eating breakfast, you went back to your room and took a bath. Today, you'll buy some props for your house. You listed quite a handful of things before leaving your house then you drove going downtown. You first went to a furniture shop to buy some vases, chairs, side tables, vanity, shelves, mirrors and more for the room's interior design. Afterwards, you went to hardware stores to buy lamps and hangers. The next stop was at stores which sells guy stuffs. You wanted to buy clothes for him but you didn't know his size. At first you deliberated if you should ask him or not, but you did in the end anyway. You texted him asking what his size was and he replied quickly. You successfully bought him clothes and shoes. The last place that you went to were stores for ladies. Knowing your preferences well, you had no troubles shopping for yourself.

With your shopping triumph, you went home exhausted. You took a rest for a moment when you heard the delivery truck outside. The delivered the furnitures you bought. You signed something the delivery crew left. You went inside your house again and decided to start decorating your house.

Ofcourse you started with the masters' bedroom. It was a lot of work. You placed the furnitures inside it and positioned it well. You also placed the clothes you bought as you and Baekhyun's props inside the walk in closet. You finally finished decorating the room before 6 pm. It is very tiring indeed. You took a rest at the living room for a while as you sat down on the couch. Then your phone suddenly ring.

You took your phone and checked who was calling. It was your mother. You pressed the green button. "Hello. What's up mom?" You greeted casually. "Hello dear, how are you doing?" She asked. "Exhausted. I just finished decorating some parts of the house." You said. "Really? Then that's great. Keep yourself busy." You heard her tell you from your phone. "So where's Baekhyun?" She asked. "He's at work mom. Last night he got home very late." You answered. "Aaw. So you have been waiting for him?" She asked. "Yaaah! Ma! Where are you leading this conversation to?" You heard her chuckle a little. "Nothing dear. I'm just checking on you. Don't you dare do anything stupid, ok? I'm hanging up. Bye." She said tending your conversation.

There's nothing left to do already. It's already quarter to eight but Baekhyun is still not home. A car parked outside the gate of your house. It horned to notify you. Upon hearing beeps and beeps of a car, you checked the CCTV and saw your in-law's car. You immediately stormed outside and opened the gate for them.

You welcomed your mother-in-law and his grandmother warmly inside you newly decorated house. When they got out from their car, you warmly embraced them. "Ah. My beautiful granddaughter." You heard her say you embraced each other. "Let's get inside. Baekhyun is still not home." You told them as you offered them a seat in your couch. "You still call him Baekhyun?" His mom asked you. "Well uh, he calls me 'jagi' but I still feel embarrassed to call him back like that.." You told them an excuse. "Ah. Don't be shy. He's really warm. You'll like him when you get to know him more." She told you. "And you should call me omma from now on. And call my mother halmeoni." Your mother-in-law said. "Yes omma..." You said quietly without looking at them making them smile.

"Say, how about you call him right now." Grandmother said. "Uh.. Yes halmeoni." You stuttered in your answer. You took your phone and pressed Baekhyun's number. The phone was ringing as you stood up from the sofa and walked towards the glass window wall in your living room. You went back and forth walking side to side while your in-laws watched you. He then picked up.

"Hello?" He greeted. "Uh.. Jagiya~~" you said and heard him chuckle. "Wait. What? Can you say that again?" He teased making you blush infront of the elders. "Jagiya~" you called out again making him smile like an idiot. "What is it jagi?" He asked cheekily. "Jagiya, your mom.." His mother looked at you trying to make you remember something. "I mean omma and halmeoni is here at home. They are waiting for you." You said. "What?! Don't worry, I'm coming home now jagiya~" he teased more. "So anything else to say to your husband, jagiya~" he asked. "Noth-" the word became a gasp as you saw your mother-in-law staring at you. "Uh. Take care then jagiya, we'll wait for you. By the way, what would you like for dinner?" You said and heard him chuckle again. "I like how you're acting. It's cute. Anything jagi, as long as you make it I'll eat it." He said. You can feel him smile with the tone of his voice. "Uh. Ok. Then I'll go do something for you." You said. "Ok, I'm hanging up. See you at home. I love you." He said teasingly. "I love you too. Bye." You said then moved the phone away from your ear.

"He said he's coming home now. I'm just going to kitchen to make him something to eat. Would you like something, too?" You asked your in-laws but they passed. "We already ate, but I would love to help you in the kitchen." His mother said. "I will stay here for a while. I'll wait for Baekhyun here." Grandmother said.

You and your new mommy went to the kitchen and cooked with her. "My, my, my. Baek sure is lucky with you. You can cook." She praised you after tasting what you have cooked. Soon, Baekhyun arrived home and saw his grandma. "Halmeoni!" He said as he entered the house and gave his grandmother a hug. "You! What took you so long. I aged waiting for you." The elder said to him. "Sorry halmeoni, we needed to rehearse to get things right." He apologized. "By the way, where's my wife?" He said while smiling. "We're here in the kitchen!" Yelled his mother. He went to the kitchen and found you and his mother busy making food. He smiled and walked towards you. You felt a pair of arms snake your waist from behind. "I'm home jagi." He whispered seductively in your ear before he pecked your cheek. "I can see that your going along well." His mom complimented. "Well? We're actually fine." He said.

Wanting to break this awkward and embarrassing situation, you thought of an excuse. "Jagiya, eat now. You must be starving." You said and escaped his hug to serve the food in the dining area. Baekhyun and his mother followed you down to the dining area. They pulled out a chair and sat. He ate the dish that you made. "It's very delicious." He complimented. After eating, you took his plate and headed to the sink. "No, I can wash my plate." He said as he squeezed himself beside you. "No, I can do it." You said. He stood behind you and took some plates to wash. "Then let's wash it together." He said. The position somehow made you embarrassed. From a corner, the elders were hiding themselves as they took a peek at the two of you. Feeling satisfied with what she was seeing, your mother-in-law talked to her mother.

"We should go now. I think we're disturbing them." She told the older lady. "No, we're spending the night here to confirm this further." Grandmother said. After doing the dishes, you and Baekhyun exited the kitchen at the same time. "Oh! Halmeoni! Are you not going home?" He asked. "We're spending the night here." She said making the both of you shocked. "Why do you look so surprised?" She asked suspiciously. "Ah. It's not what your thinking halmeoni. It's just that.." You didn't know what to say next. "It's just that we're still having our honeymoon." He said making your jaw drop in embarrassment. Even his mother felt awkward with what her son just said. "We don't mind. We won't watch you anyway." Grandmother refused. "Where's the guest room?" She asked. You pointed at a room. "Ok, go now and make me beautiful grandchildren." She said as they walked towards their room.
