Minho's P.O.V.

I check my phone once before my office door opens, revealing my cheery boyfriend with two drinks and plastic bags full of food in his hands. "I got your medium vanilla latte with one scoop of ice and three extra shots of espresso, just like you asked. I also picked up two slices of strawberry cheesecake from the cafe and for lunch we have two orders of bulgogi along with a chicken caesar salad for you." Jisung rattles off with a smile.

"Thank you baby, you're the best." I reply and peck his lips. He smiles and closes the door, sitting down to unpack the bags. He hands me my food and drink before getting his own out. "Fuck I don't know what to dig into first...I guess I'll go with the salad since I always eat my sides first." I say before opening my chopsticks and starting to eat my salad.

He nods and starts eating his bulgogi quietly. "So how's work?" I ask as I pick up a piece of chicken and put it in my mouth. Jisung shrugs.

"Normal I guess...Yeji yelled at me for taking a day off but it was alright in the end...the cafe hasn't really been that busy lately, only during rush hour sometimes." He replies.

"Maybe I should go there more often then." I wink at him.

"No no, you stay here...it seems you have a lot of work to do and plus Yeji wouldn't want to see me flirt with a customer." He responds, eyeing my pile of case files.

"Yeah I have to look through all of that...it gets boring after a while."

"Oh I bet...it must get lonely sometimes too." I shake my head.

"No, it really doesn't...I prefer working alone on this stuff actually, it gives me more room to think." I say. Jisung nods and continues eating. I move on to eating my bulgogi, trying to savor the flavor of the meat. I eat a bit more before starting to cough violently. I take a giant swig of my latte but it doesn't help, and soon enough I cough up flower petals into the trash. "Shit..." I mumble.

"Baby....your hanahaki hasn't gone away?" Jisung looks disappointed, lowering his head to look down at his lap.

"I guess not....hey hey don't get discouraged, I'm sure it'll go away soon enough." I reassure him, caressing his thigh. He sniffles.

"I just thought I was the one who gave it to you...so either I did but when I confessed it didn't go away, or someone else gave it to you and not me."

"Baby," I lift his chin up, "whatever it is, don't worry about it. It doesn't matter to me, as long as I have you it's fine." He smiles slightly.

"But how long is it going to stay that way? How long will you keep me...how long until I'm alone again?" He looks me in the eyes, searching for an answer that will satisfy him.

"Han Jisung, so help me god I will never leave you alone again. I am here for as long as you need me, and if that means forever then so be it." I seal my promise by kissing him sweetly. He kisses back quickly and wraps his arms around my neck. I pull him onto my lap and hold him there, gripping his sides tightly as if he's going to vanish into thin air and leave me here. He cups my cheeks.

"Lee Minho I am here by your side for however long you need me to stay...even if that means it's for the rest of my life." I smile at him and kiss him again. Jisung kisses back before leaning his forehead on mine, eyes closed in bliss as he catches his breath.

"You're mine," I whisper, "and I am yours."

"Forever?"

"Forever. Until the end of time. Until all the stars in the sky burn out. Until everything that we know now as life doesn't exist anymore. I am yours and you are mine. For eternity." He nods and smiles.

"For eternity." I smile back and we continue eating our food until everything's gone. Jisung stays cradled on my lap, his arms wrapped around my torso tightly. "Minho," He mumbles.

"Hm?" I hum in reply, kissing his forehead.

"You accept me for all that I am...right? Even if I've made terrible mistakes in the past? Like terrible terrible mistakes?" He asks nervously. I look at him.

"Of course Sungie. I accept you for who you are and those mistakes are not what define you as a person. You choose what defines you. Not anyone else." He nods and buries his face in my chest. We stay quiet for a few minutes before I remember something. "Sungie," I say, threading my fingers through his hair.

"Yes Minho?" He responds, looking up at me. I swear everytime we make eye contact, my heart beats a little faster. My stomach flutters as I stare into his eyes.

"We should go to the beach this weekend...the weather will be nice and it'll be good for us to soak up some sunshine." I reply and he nods.

"That'll be nice...I haven't been to the beach in a really long time. It'll be good for me to change up something in my life." Jisung smiles.

"Great. I'll start packing for Jeju when we get home tonight." He nods and stays cuddled up to me until his lunch break is over.

"I have to go back to the cafe, I'll see you after work yeah?" He says, getting up off my lap. I nod.

"Mhm, I'll see you then." I respond before pecking his lips.

"Bye Min." He waves.

"Bye baby." I smile as he walks out. I clear everything off my desk and go back to working on my files.
