when yeosang woke up, he was surprised to find he was on an apartment couch and not his usual double bed. he sat up in shock, until he remembered the events of the previous night.

he was at wooyoung's, and his husband had cheated on him.

with a groan, yeosang got up and stretched. he was still in his suit from work, and his spare clothes were in the car downstairs. he was about to grab his phone when he spotted a pile of clothes sitting on a chair. there was a note on top that read:

i went out to get you breakfast and you were asleep, so don't panic! i'll be back in 15 minutes. you can have these clothes, the bathroom is just down the hallway! -WooYoung <3

smiling hugely, yeosang took the clothes into the bathroom to get changed. as he was finishing doing up his shirt he heard the key in the door.

"honey i'm hOmE~" wooyoung called out dramatically, causing yeosang to giggle quietly to himself. he stepped out of the bathroom and immediately pulled wooyoung into a hug.

"g-good morning."

"i didn't think you would be awake yet!" the younger laughed, balancing his bag of food. "i got pastries from the market, and i ran into yeonjun as well!"

"from our old school? woah... how is he?"

"all fine, he's dyed his hair this crazy neon green-" wooyoung said as he led yeosang into the kitchen for breakfast. "and he's so much taller now. his boyfriend owns one of the market stalls as well."

"seems like your life is so much better than mine."

"what? all i did was go shopping-"

"exactly! all i've done for nearly a year now is work all week, clean the house every saturday and cook on sunday. it's so dull!" yeosang whined.

"well, you can always change that. and you don't have to clean your house today."

"pff, i'm not going back to my house if seongwha's there. i'll just rent a place." the older sighed.

"actually, i think you should go back. not to stay, but you need to talk this all out."

"since when were you so sensible?"

"i don't want you stressing about him. he called your phone 20 times last night, and he won't leave you alone until you sort this matter out. i know it's really tempting to just forget about it, but you should show him you're the bigger person in this situation." wooyoung told him calmly as he buttered some bread.

"wow... i still don't want to go, but i will." yeosang said, causing wooyoung to sigh fondly.

"i'll come with if you need me to. just for support."

"y-yeah, i think that would help a bit."

"croissant?" the younger asked, holding out a plate.

"yes please, i'm starving."

they ate breakfast in relative silence, only breaking it to ask for jam or fruit. but when everything was finished, yeosang decided to broach an question.

"woo, what are we? you know...after last night."

"umm... to be honest, i know what i'd like us to be. i love you after all. but you're going through a breakup and possible divorce right now. maybe labels aren't what we should be doing."

"that's sensible." yeosang nodded, standing up and walking over to wooyoung. "i agree. and... i love you too."

wooyoung looked up from his plate, and grinned hugely.
