Chap 8 - "Suspense"

The three on the couch now sported confused and concerned looks.. probably because Yeonjun started giggling in glee to himself.

"Um.. What are you gonna do?" San asked.

Yeonjun smirked. "I'm gonna cook him dinner!"

There as a silence. The three looked at him in disbelief, surely wondering what the heck was wrong with him.

"Um.. Forgive me if I don't understand.." Yeosang started, looking more confused than ever. "But, how exactly is that going to make Soobin-hyung sorry?"

Yeonjun giggled some more. "Simple. If I cook him dinner and expect him to come home to celebrate our anniversary, but he doesn't show up, he's the one wo ends up looking bad! Not me! But he does! And maybe that will convince abeoji that he was an asshole unworthy husband in the first place and we'll be forced to divorce, but because I held up my end of the bargain, I can still audition!"

He was very proud of himself for coming up with such a scheme.

The last month, Soobin had gotten nothing but compliments from Yeonjun's family but all they had for their son was criticism on how he treated his husband. HIs father was constantly nagging him that he needed to support his husband more, Jin kept sending him recipes and daily reminders on how to be a good spouse, and his brother well, just kept telling him to stay on his husband's good side.

In short, his family thought Choi Soobin was the perfect husband.. and Yeonjun was a lacking husband.

And now he was going to prove them wrong!

"Uh.. you sure that's gonna work?" Wooyoung asked, skeptical.

Of course it was going to work!

Yeonjun giggled again patted Wooyoung's head. "You have so little faith in me."

"Cause your plans never work," San stated, deadpan.

Well, so for encouraging friends. But, he was not going to let that deter him.

Tonight, he would show Soobin how great of a husband he was and make his family realize that Soobin was not perfect!

That night Yeonjun prepared all of Soobin's favorite foods - steak seared to perfection, steamed eggplant, seasoned spinach, and braised potatoes. Oh and bread, Soobin loved bread! He even added a bottle of red wine and lit some candles for effect.

Putting on a show, he sat at their formal dining table waiting.

Seven-thirty came around and if Soobin was a good husband, he would have been home right then, just in time for dinner.

A part of Yeonjun was disappointed, because he was hungry! He could have started eating but he needed to play the role of a scorned husband. So, despite his hunger and the delicious aroma of steak, he kept waiting.

8 pm. Still no Soobin.

Yeonjun played games on his phone.

8.30 pm. He was about to call his papa to complain about the missed dinner when he heard the door open and close.

No way. He was home!? Yeonjun wasn't expecting him for at least another hour or so! Why was he already home!?

How was he supposed to complain to Jin now and ruin his expectations of his so-called perfect husband!? And more importantly, why was his heart even beating so fast!?
