"Noona, where do you want to put this?" he gestured to a box of flour packet.
"Just put it at the back in the kitchen. I'll sort them later," you replied while arranging the milk cartoon inside the refrigerator. Today was the delivery day. You got lots of cafe supplies and Jaebeom has offered to help. You wasn't sure, whether it was really his off day, or he just didn't want you to lift them up by yourself. Not that you couldn't manage to do it yourself before, but since he got back from the military, he made sure that you didn't do it on your own anymore. Saying that you should learn to count on him.
Today was Sunday as well. Jihoon was out with his friends to the arcade. One of the parents offered to bring the boys so you were grateful for the peaceful morning. You could concentrate counting the supplies and arranged it so you can operate the cafe smoothly the next day. You were just taking notes about the supply when a pair of arms sneaked around your waist and pulled you toward a hug.
"Are you done?" he asked, putting his head over your shoulder, trying to see whatever you were writing.
"Almost. Wait, I need my arm to write," you shrugged your shoulder so you can move your arms freely. When you put down the notes and the pen, he didn't wait long before turning you around and pulled you back into his hug. "Finally! Can we go now?" You laughed at his childish act, sometimes you wondered where did the chic and sexy leader go? He always showed you his cute side that you couldn't help but to adore even though he complained that he's sexy, not cute.
"Where are we going?" you asked, raising your eyebrow as he held your hand in his.
"Movie," he replied shortly, adjusting his face mask and his cap before holding your hand again. Your eyes stared at him widely.
"Are you sure? We might run into some fans," you couldn't help but to be anxious about the idea. You never wanted to go public about your relationship. There were a lot going on your mind, your status as a single mother, not to mention that you are older than him. Even though he always said his fans were understandable, surely they wouldn't be when they found out about your situation.
"It's okay, today is the last day for this movie, so lots of people have watched it before. And this hour is usually empty," he assured you and showed you the ticket. He got you the seats at the very back in the corner, pretty isolated from the other. He was right though. The movie was basically stranded with just few other people in the same theater. You felt yourself relaxed a bit and started to enjoy the movie, munching the popcorn he bought before. You didn't mind him snuggle several times as well. When the movie was over, he pulled his mask back on and adjusted the cap so it covered half his face. You received his hand to guide you as your eyes still adjusted to the blinding lights that turned on instantly after the movie was over. You walked down the stairs toward the exit when you saw a hand stopping Jaebeom.
"Jaebeom oppa?" a girl standing on the row beside the stairs whispered, but still audible to you both.
Surely it took him by surprise. He scanned around the theater real quick and when he realized there were no one else but you three, he nodded quickly.
"Omooo!!! I'm right!" she squealed quietly. "Can I get a picture real quick?" she whipped out her phone and after a second, he agreed to the request. You asked for the phone and started to snap some pictures of them after Jaebeom took off his mask, but kept his cap on. The girl checked on the results and glanced at you curiously before turning to Jaebeom once again. "Oppa.. she's your girlfriend, isn't she?"
You wished the ground below you swallowed you that instant. But you saw Jaebeom wasn't surprised at all. He was rather calm about the situation when you were panic inside. "Yes," you heard him admitting your relationship, making you gape a bit.
"Whoaaaa.. Congratulations oppaaa... She's so pretty," she praised you before bowing to both of you and left you both. You were still stunned at the short interaction that Jaebeom nudged you when he finished putting back his disguise.
"Wait a minute," you stopped him once you were in his car. "There won't be any problem right?" you started to worry about what happened just now in the theater.
Jaebeom put a hand over yours, "Don't worry. If she's a real fan, then she would keep her promise to keep it a secret. You seemed lost in thought that you didn't notice that I've warned her not to say anything about you to anyone," he smiled a bit. "Even if she leaked it, you don't have to worry. I'm sure the fans will be okay with the news. If you don't want it to be public, then I'll ask the team to cover it up. Just say the word and I can arrange everything. Okay?" He squeezed your hand a bit to give some reassurance.
You sighed. You knew this was bound to happen anyway. "Look, I don't want you to think that I wanted to hide the face about us forever. So, maybe if it's leaked, then so be it. You can confirm our relationship, but make sure my face stay hidden, okay?" You knew he wanted it so bad for quite some time now, so when you finally agreed to it, he couldn't contain his joy. He leaped in joy, forgetting that he was inside a car and bumped his head. You chuckled at his clumsiness but seconds later you were engulfed in his hug. You couldn't help with smiling back at his silly smiley face.
