Chap 10 - "Battle of Bands"

And thus, the two settled on Soobin's desk, eating the take- out food and Yeonjun's cooking in comfortable silence.

Soobin had taken the bento box for himself while his husband had the take-out. If you asked him, Yeonjun's cooking was better than any restaurant, and he was not just saying that because they were married.

Maybe his taste buds had gotten so used to the younger's cooking that everything else just didn't taste as good to him.

By that time, Soobin had already forgotten that he still had work to do. Yeonjun had never visited him at the office before, and this was a first.

He was so happy.

"Wifey, ahhh," He brought a chopstick holding a piece of grilled chicken to his husband's mouth.

The younger scoffed but accepted the food anyway. The simple action made Soobin feel incredibly warm.

Yeonjun had more or less been more receptive to his affectionate gestures. He had allowed Soobin to feed him now and then and would even let him into the kitchen to watch as he cooked.

Sometimes, Yeonjun would let him taste a dish to gauge how it was. The whole affair was ridiculously cute and utterly domestic; Soobin could not have imagined himself in such a position prior to the announcement of his arranged marriage.

Then again, his younger husband had not been what he was expecting. He had intrigued Soobin from the beginning and only motivated him more to become a good and devoted husband to Yeonjun.

"So... your secretary is pretty."

Soobin blinked at the sudden comment. He pursed his lips in contemplation. "Yes, I guess she is."

Yeonjun huffed and not-so-subtly dug his chopsticks into his rice.

So cute!

He reached across the table to put a hand on top of the younger's. "But, you're cuter."

Yeonjun fumed. "I'm not cute! l'm a man so I'm handsome!"

At that, Soobin laughed and nodded his head. "That you are."

He then smirked, teasingly. "Are you jealous?"

He delighted in watching the red spread all over Yeonjun's face as he stammered, "J-jealous? Why would I be jealous?! Of her? Pfft, I don't care what you do or who you do. It's none of my business."

He ended with a pout and a quick shove of rice into his mouth.

Soobin laughed again and brushed a stray rice kernel from the younger's lips. "Don't worry. I'm gay, remember? And I only have eyes for one person." He pinched the chubby cheeks. "My handsome husband."

Yeonjun swallowed his rice, suddenly looking uneasy.

Soobin blinked in confusion.

Was it something he said?

"Don't say things you don't mean" the younger mumbled quietly. But, before Soobin could further inquire, Yeonjun cleared his throat, loudly. "Um... will you be free Friday night?"

Recognizing Yeonjun's need to change the subject, he allowed it. After all, he didn't want to make his husband feel uncomfortable.

"Depends on what time, but I'll probably be working as usual. Why?" Soobin then grinned. "Did you want to go on a date?"

The cute blush was back and he relished the appearance of that redness.

"D-Don't be ridiculous!" Yeonjun puffed out his cheeks in annoyance. "Aish, forget it!" He made a move to start putting the food away.
