❛ i need you, you idiot. ❜ // minhye x jukan
it was a particularly difficult morning to deal with and jukan knew that his husband better than anyone ought to know the things that inflected minhye like nothing else. and for most of it, she was costumed to push forward and don't let it shatter her day-to-day but sometimes it wasn't as welcoming to be her as she was used to making it be. for starters, she wanted to scream at him for saying that, but she also couldn't the deny anything to that ridiculous face he had on; one that gave away the worry in his eyes and the usual brow frowned in comprehension. minhye got up from her feet irritated, it didn't help she was nineteen weeks pregnant but she managed it like it was a natural movement on her part. it wasn't like she didn't want to work, she just didn't have to when her husband was so good at his job and her employees were so understanding and driving, it was the perfect combination of the best team in the world and the most talented of bosses being under the same roof that was their house. minhye took a closer look at the conversation opened in jukan's laptop with the same inconclusive face she used to make for most the work things related, it was the best poker face she ever learned how to do and it often would come naturally when she was just thinking the most obvious things.
"he's being dramatic, that's not gonna work. tell him the contract is off." it was a bluff, of course, she wanted the client to take the bait and calm down to take whatever they were offering him and jukan knew that. now looking at the situation, him being way better at this type of stuff than she ever was, she realizes his whole play was just to get a better look at how was she doing and maybe involve her in some of the work so she wouldn't die of boredom. "you went to business school, i don't think i should be the one to tell you that." now he was also offering her the opportunity to tease him which would make her day regardless of the situation at hand when she looked back to take a look at his eyes, he was grinning back because he knew exactly what she was thinking. "i guess you actually do need me to remind you of you, so you're the idiot." and she was just having to much fun doing it. minhye gave him back the notebook, side-ways glancing at him while she made her way to the kitchen, since she was already up she could at least keep herself busy trying to make lunch.
rather than a pain in the ass being pregnant twice now proved to be quite the boring activity, she was already way beyond knowing the basics, and this time at least they didn't have the separation of a virus between them so they could both involve themselves in and out of the basics principles of being parents. luckily sunny was the sweetest child in the world, she wouldn't complain about not being in her mother's arms all the time although minhye would still hold her all the time even when she supposedly wasn't advised to. and jukan was a great dad, he proved himself to be the most caring and best partner she could ever ask for, although knowing as he always had been for the entire time of their relationship she never once questioned his ability to be exactly whom he was. and of course, they kept struggling to accept the fact they were in there once again, this time two in the way, but it was as chaotic in the way only they could make it. they would delegate shores, divide to conquer, and seize the moments — tasks that proved efficient with time. they were better partners in life than they could ever be anything else so having a business together while being parents together also, were all together: the prime quest of their life.
half way through looking at what they had in their fridge while listening to what jukan had to say, minhye gave up with her hands in the way. "give that, ill handle it! you make me lunch." she demanded, interrupting his monologue and sitting in the stall of the kitchen counter, kissing him quickly on the lips as she did so. she shifted her attention to the computer in front of her, smiling widely. "yes, come to mama." typing furiously, she wasn't even preoccupied in falling right into jukan's trap when in fact she was immensely happy with him for it. she would kiss him all over later, do whatever he wanted... a change of heart quickly as ever, she was feeling incredibly cheerful now.
