the whole week you were so busy working so as your hardworking boyfriend.
it was past ten in the evening when you were watching the television, friday is indeed the best day of the week. tomorrow will be your day off so chilling once in a while is not a bad idea.
you were laying your head against your palms and your elbows pressed sideways on the couch with a bowl of fries infront. what an ideal rest.
suddenly, the door burst out open startling you. your heart shook in slight panic thinking whether you forgot to lock the door of your shared apartment and that some thief or a weirdo broke in but as soon as your boyfriend, wonwoo, showed up, you let out a sigh of breath you held two seconds ago.
“you’re home early today?” you casually ask him as you reach for the bowl on the table, waiting for wonwoo to approach the couch.
slowly he did. but to your surprise, wonwoo dropped on his knees before you instead. head down, dropping his body bag on the floor. your immediate reaction was to sit up and hold onto his shoulders to ask him what had happened.
“wonwoo! what’s the matter? are you alright?” shrugging him a bit but he did not respond. instead, he pulled you on the waist for a hug.
wonwoo’s face was buried in your stomach, you can feel the cold metal of his thin glasses poking through your spaghetti top.
you didn't know what to do, he’s never been this way before. so rather than continuously ask him what’s wrong and force him to talk, you wrap your fingers around his hair, gently massaging wonwoo’s scalp. use your soothing words.
“it’s fine, wonnie. don’t worry about anything, it will be alright—”
“it’s not okay...” he finally spoke in a weak & soft voice, tightening his hold of me.
wonwoo shot his head up to meet your eyes. his gaze hold submission and is apologetic. he looks like a cat who accidentally shred your favourite curtain, begging for forgiveness.
“i’m sorry, y/n. please, forgive me...”
your eyebrows met in confusion. he’s sorry for what?
this time, wonwoo slowly mirrored your confusion.
“i... forgot about today. are you... not mad at me?”
you raised your brows at wonwoo still caressing his hair genuinely lost. you tried your best to think about what seems so special today but all you could ever think of was your anniversary date which is clearly months from now before happening.
“today? what’s so special today? it’s not our anniversary, won—”
before you could finish your sentence, wonwoo gasped at your words immediately standing up on his feet to hold your face with both his warm palms.
“y/n, are you serious? or are you playing with me?” wonwoo’s face was so close to you that his addictive minty breath was hitting your face. the reason why your gaze dropped on his naturally red lips slightly dump for whatever reason, distracting you for a bit.
you shake your head to come back to your senses.
“look, whatever it is, baby, it’s probably nothing special for sure. unimportant, that’s why i forgot about it.” you assured wonwoo carelessly. your thumb graze his biceps this time calming him down somehow.
wonwoo’s lips parted in disbelief. his eyes glancing back and forth your left and right vision trying to see through your soul or finding a hint of humor but found none.
“it is your birthday, y/n... how’s it unimportant? nothing special? and... you forgot about it?” wonwoo’s puzzled expression is so cute you want to pinch his cheeks until you heard him drop the bomb.
what? your birthday? WAIT. WHAT–
“oh? OH?” surprised pikachu face meme suit you so well at this moment. your eyes went boba and your mouth shaped “O”, speechless.
“my birthday! that’s right– oh my gosh?”
how did you even forgot about your own birthday, right? that’s just so dumb of you.
“well, i’ve been very busy so i completely forgot to check dates, don’t judge me, babe!” defensively, you explained. worried that he finds you just as dumb as you see yourself right now.
“no one’s judging you, dummy. i just want to apologize, really...” wonwoo’s expression somehow lift up after that, he manage to chuckle at your cuteness making you smile as well. wonwoo then rested his forehead to yours, closing both your eyes. silence slowly enveloped you both but you can hear your own heart beating and maybe, his too.
for a moment, it was peaceful. the running television were in a very low volume that his breathing was louder to hear.
“you don’t have to apologize, wonwoo. even i forgot about it, you see. i understand that we’re just too busy the past weeks, it can’t be help. and still... thank you for being honest with me.” you manage to break the silence with a soft appreciation for your boyfriend’s honesty.
your hands rested on both his wrists, with his calloused palms still holding your face with so much care. your eyes met his soulful gaze.
the dramatic dim lights from the kitchen were reflected on the right side of wonwoo’s face while the other side hides in darkness.
the bone structure of wonwoo’s face defines even more because of it. makes him look attractive as he ever was, like a model in some sensual magazine with those hooded eyes and perfectly carved lips. wonwoo is freaking breathtaking.
“i’m always, and will always be honest with you, baby. still, it was my fault that we couldn’t even celebrate today. i’m such a clumsy boyfriend.” wonwoo sulked, pouting like a kid. dropping his eyes on the abandoned body bag of his, avoiding yours.
it made you giggle. this adorable little but giant kitty tower infront of you but feels so small because he forgot about your special day makes your heart melt.
“it’s alright, wonwoo, we still have another year for it. and another, and another...” you suggested. you sat down on the couch pulling his arms dragging him down with you.
wonwoo urgently shook his head as you both settled in. you put your feet across his lap, resting your thighs on his. while wonwoo’s right arm automatically wrap around your waist as you tried to turn the television off. his other hand was caressing your exposed knees infront.
“no, i want to celebrate it right away. tomorrow. it’s your restday, right?”
you nodded slowly, wondering if he’s free as well because his off has always been sunday.
“good. i already planned everything out while i was at work earlier. promise, i’m all yours tomorrow. we’ll do everything you want. visit everywhere you like–”
you raised your hands in the air halting wonwoo’s daydream.
“wait, wait, wait. how about your work?”
wonwoo’s smile quickly turn into a smug smirk as he looks at you sideways. “i made sure to finish everything today so the remaining minor shoots will be done by sunday. your boyfriend’s pretty smart, y/n, ain’t he?”
you scrunch your nose at him. he’s so willing to be with you tomorrow, huh? lucky as hell, you laugh internally.
“you’ve always been smart, wonwoo.” your sudden compliment briefly stunned him. your hands went to the top of his head patting it lovingly making him lean on the crook of your neck. “and you’re not just smart, you are thoughtful, hardworking, kind-hearted even when sometimes it doesn’t show–”
“eh?” wonwoo questioned, slightly lifting his head to look at you but you pulled him back.
“...a body to die for,” you continued, ignoring his little protest. “wise personality, good values and principle, multitalented, mature mind,”
“and handsome too.” wonwoo added. you can feel his happy grin against your collarbone.
“very handsome.” you both giggled cutely at that remarks.
your night ended cuddling on the couch with wonwoo in your arms, excitedly talking about his initial plan for tomorrow.
