you were resting in your self-appointed assigned seat — a large chaise in the corner of the office, adjacent to a window, bathing you in the soft warm of the winter sun -- with your feet tucked under your thighs. it was one of your favorite spots in the house, perfect for mid-day naps or for spectating as your husband play video games across the room or catching up with a good book.
your eyes flit across paragraphs of the contemporary romance on your e-reader. a funny, lighthearted, easy read for a saturday afternoon.
only a few feet away, you could hear the clicks of seungcheol's keyboard and mumbled communication with teammates. over the years of sharing a home and a life, the sounds of his gaming had become an odd comfort for you. even when he got like this, so focused that you weren’t sure if he was aware you were still in the room, you enjoyed your husband’s company.
if you looked up, you would see his back to you, angled to give you a perfect view of his monitor’s screen. he was playing another shooting game that you didn’t remember the name of. his player sprinted across the field, collecting weapons and armor while shots rang in the distance. seungcheol's fingers moved deftly across his keyboard and mouse. his target aimed and zoomed as he tried to eliminate members of the opposing team.
when a sudden grumble left your stomach, you glanced at the time. you’d been splitting your attention between reading and watching seungcheol for nearly two hours. your fur baby, a tonkinese kitten, purred in your lap while pawing at the hem of your yoga pants. her favorite pastime was falling asleep in your or seungcheol’s lap while being pet and doted on.
you hadn’t eaten since breakfast earlier in the day. seungcheol had surprised with food and a warm mug of tea when you came down to the kitchen. you ate together while sharing jokes and catching up on each other’s past week, having been too busy lately to spend time together. some days, you left for work before he’d woken up. others, you’d fallen asleep waiting for him to shower and join you for a movie.
now, in the early afternoon, your body groaned for its next meal. despite how comfortable you’d become in your chair, you knew you’d have to leave to eat again soon. you could feel a slight wave of nausea creeping up the longer you went without eating. images of lunch options flashed in your mind — hamburgers, tofu soup, fried chicken, bbibimbap.
“babe?” you called. though seungcheol’s headset was on, only one ear was covered. a few seconds later, after the sound of your voice had registered to him, he responded with a distracted grunt.
"eh?"
slowly, you pushed yourself up from your seat, sliding your feet into plush blue slippers and leaving your e-reader behind. you tiptoed across the room until your hips met the back of his gaming chair. you exhaled softly as you bent over, just enough to be able to wrap your arms around his neck and rest your chin on top of his head.
“cheollie, are you almost done with this round?” you asked softly, almost a whisper.
“it just started, but it’ll be a short round. what’s up?” his fingers never stopped clicking as his brown eyes bounced from corner to corner of his monitor.
you sighed loudly, as dramatically as you could muster. seungcheol, expecting a conversation, muted his microphone. “i’m about to perish, babe. i’m nearing complete depletion of sustenance,” you drone. seungcheol, who is very used to his wife’s hyperbolic statements, says nothing. after a few seconds with no response, you try again. “we should go out for lunch.”
“okay, love. just give me a few more minutes and i’m all yours.” promises of food and uninterrupted quality time with your husband settled warmly in your stomach, giving you a buzzing feeling. or maybe that was the hunger.
“by the time you’re finished, i’ll be ready. i’m going to go get dressed.” but you made no effort to step away from him. instead, you leaned down further and began to pepper the side of his face with wet and loud kisses.
“ngh,” he groaned before a chuckle slipped out. “baby, you’re distracting me!” he scrunched his nose and tried to shrink away from your affections. but you noticed the blush creeping across his cheeks and ears.
“and you’re distracting me,” you counter, dropping your hands to his chest then his biceps, fingertips meeting skin past the hem of his cut-off sleeves. “have you been lifting more at the gym?”
you feel him flex his muscles beneath your fingertips, entertaining your ogling, before he’s encouraging you to leave and get ready for your lunch outing. seungcheol unmuted his headset as you walked away, yelling commands that floated down the hall.
—
no less than twenty minutes later, you settle your sunglasses on your head and double-check that you’ve grabbed your phone before leaving your bedroom.
seungcheol is already waiting by the door, perched on the back of the couch. “ready?” he extends his right hand toward you, clasping his palm against yours. he pulls you to stand between his thighs and on instinct, you wrap your arms around his neck. your husband’s large hands find your waist and settle there with a familiar grip.
seungcheol leans in and places a soft kiss against your lips. you savor the warmth of his rosy lips on yours only for a moment. when you pull away, his lips chase yours, never satisfied with just one kiss. “i love you,” he mumbled, his breath mingling with your own.
“i love you, to-“ your stomach grumbled again, louder than earlier, interrupting your affections. seungcheol’s eyes shone with amusement as he barked out a laugh. quickly, he pulled his bottom lip between his teeth, quieting to giggles.
“can we go now?” you roll your eyes. “since my aching hunger is so funny to you,” you tease, “a large bowl of bbibimbap is calling my name.”
“lead the way.”
