Exactly a month passed by, with the couple fluttering their eyes open as the sun rose up.
Usually, they will both start another morning with yet the same disinterested mood—go on the day like zombies who's only enduring the mediocrity.
But now, having each other makes the day brighter and easier to catch on to. Burdens are much lighter, and their faces visibly relay contentment and relief. Finally, they have something to expect each day that goes by.
The first month of their relationship is one of those cliché newborn couple things.
A smile engraved on their lips, a blush on their cheeks, and the sweet adrenaline of clinging to each other every second of the day
Yet since their first set-up is rather exhilarating, the day would never be concluded without sex. The surrounding air of love and passion is present in every round of their intercourse, and their kisses are far different when only lust governs them. There is now love in every dampening of their lips and security in every touch.
Their friends are not stupid enough to not catch on.
Even if they decided for their relationship to be secret, their friends who are with them whenever they're not alone together easily catch on.
It's not a problem, honestly. They only kept it a secret so that their families would not interfere. Chenle promised a marriage after graduating, so before that, they have to be careful.
Speaking of their different marriage arrangements, Mark called it off himself. Harae never heard the whole story, but her dad only told her that the guy doesn't want to be forced anymore and that he promised that the partnership of their family companies wouldn't be affected.
However, Chenle and Xifei's arrangement is still ongoing. They never met in the previous month, though the girl is continuously contacting him, and Chenle has also muted and ignored her until now. She wasn't really a problem. Yet. And Chenle wanted to keep it like that.
By now, they are in Chenle's apartment unit, which became Harae's too overtime. Renjun and Jisung are present too, gobbling one box of pizza as they watched the newly released season of a famous series.
Chenle and Harae were cuddled on the sofa, while the other two settled on the carpeted floor. They are sharing one tub of ice cream, and Chenle ended up giving her more than half of it.
Jisung surprisingly saw it as he peeked at the couple, his face distorting in disgust, which was never ignored by Chenle.
"This is why I don't want to have a serious relationship. They're taking my food."
"There's a thing called sharing, dumbass", Chenle retorts.
Jisung faked a gasp. "Oh wow, I didn't know. Anyways, no! It's my food; go buy yours."
"You have no hope", Renjun says, shaking his head at the younger
Jisung scoffed and stole the last slice of pizza. "Says you", he spat back.
"That's my slice, idiot!"
Yet the younger man just quickly stuffed it in his mouth and put up both his middle fingers. Renjun began to knock him over by his weight, surprising the younger and only laughing out loud as he tickled him.
The whole unit is now surrounded by the loud voices of the two, while the couple equally had fun watching them wrestle in the limited space as the show was not of their interest anymore.
It's nearly dinner time when Chenle kicks the two out for being too invasive in their relationship. Renjun and Jisung began asking them about their relationship with such open topics as coupling hobbies, making-out, sex, and everything.
Even though their circle of friends sure has loud, devilish mouths, Chenle and Harae are still thankful that they can freely show their relationship. Hiding it is undeniably exhausting.
Harae is now pressed up with her upper body on top of him, while Chenle's arms are tightly securing her there.
His eyes were comfortably closed; he wasn't really tired and was just resting. While Harae is on her phone, she's only getting lulled by his soft breaths and the slow heaves of his chest.
She can feel his heartbeat calmly drumming too, and it passes as her favorite music for today.
Harae contently sighs, locks her phone, discards it on his side, and props herself up to look at him.
"Should we sleep now?"
"Hmm?", Chenle absently hummed and peeked through his eyelashes. "Sleep?"
"Yeah. You seem to be getting sleepy now."
"You?"
"I easily sleep; you know that."
"Mhm", Chenle stretches his arms up, while Harae takes it as a chance to properly lay beside him.
When Harae stuck to him like a koala, Chenle chuckled and hugged her back tighter. He placed a lingering kiss on her forehead, and her eyes closed as she felt his warm lips on her skin.
"It'll be Monday tomorrow. We'll be in school again", Chenle groaned.
Harae only chuckles at his usual on-school rant. "It'll be fine. We'll be together at lunch at least. It seems the students already got used to us in the cafeteria together. Also, we'll be with our friends as usual."
"We can eat out alone."
"Eating out is possible. Alone? Nope. There will be students around the eateries near the university too, love."
"Ah fuck"
Harae can only laugh at him, then reach up to peck on his lips.
"More", he demands.
"Hmm what?"
"Kiss. I need it."
"Why do you badly need it", she chuckles.
"I can't kiss you freely starting tomorrow up to Friday. Now kiss me. I badly need it."
It didn't stop with a kiss, though.
He worshipped her body for another three rounds, restricting her movement as he pleasured them both as deeply and as hard as he could.
