'Whoooo, Greece air,' I breathed in as I stood in the balcony of our apartment and put out my hand in the titanic pose. 'Good morning,' Felix said and hugged me from behind. 'Good morning bub,' I said as I kissed his cheek.

'I'll make breakfast okay?' he asked as I looked at him, confused. 'We can just order in,' I nervously chuckled as he shook his head, with a spoon in his hand. 'We can do that but that won't be anything near to Felix's hand's magic,' he said and laughed. 'Alright,' I giggled.

We had finally come for our honeymoon, three months later and surely it was going to be in Greece. Haneul took some time to recover, but now she is walking and also helping Felix out in the business. Oppa finally shot his chance after Haneul fully recovered and asked her out. She took some time, thought it over, asked me or we'd have the same problem we had from tenth grade and finally agreed to go on date.

Sometimes I think, how can my life be so perfect? With the perfect husband, family...both sides, best friend. There is nothing more I want from this world. Except a little something. And Felix's magical food.

I sat down on one of the chairs in the balcony as Felix served our food in the front table. 'Bacon with bread, some omelets, fried pork with a side of brownies,' he bowed his head and put the dishes down. 'Brownies? Are they edible?' I joked as he put his hand on his heart. 'You hurt me, my dear wife, how can you say such a thing?' he cried out which was obviously an act. 'You are behaving like Hyunjin,' I chuckled.

We enjoyed our breakfast with the beautiful sunrise of Greece in view. It truly was magical.

'What are we doing today?' Felix asked. 'We'll be roaming around the city of Athens today. You can't say no,' I said and pointed my finger at him.

We wore some matching clothes and got out to roam the utterly beautiful city of Athens. 'Try this,' Felix bought some food out of nowhere and forced me to eat it. 'What if it kills me?' I joked. 'Then I'll eat it too and die myself,' Felix said as he slinged his arm around my shoulder.

We went to visit many places and enjoyed the time we had until we'd be back at our house, tucked away in our little helms of busy work. 

'You need to stop following us,' I glanced back at the herd as they pretended to look somewhere else. 'Don't bother them. They are just here to bother us,' Felix rolled his eyes and kissed my cheek. 'Is this our honeymoon or yours?' I questioned, one of my eyes raised. 'Our pre-honeymoon,' oppa beamed as all of us looked at him, our eyes widened in shock. 'I haven't accepted yet. It was just a proposal,' Haneul laughed and told us to keep walking. 'Girl invite me to your wedding at least,' I smirked as Haneul hid her face, blushing like crazy. 

'Now we will have to leave because we need to give the newly-weds some time alone. We'll look around the place for some cute girls,' Hyunjin laughed as he got a smack from Chan. 'Not us because we are too loyal to our wives,' Lee know said and slinged an arm around Amanda's shoulder. 'Gross,' I gagged. 'Don't "gross" now. Your husband also has a hand around your shoulder,' Han laughed as Seungmin shook his head, probably wondering why he befriended his friends fifteen years ago. 

'Bye, now let my wife and me be,' Felix said as we stopped in front of a restaurant. 'Whatever bye,' Jeongin waved and left with the whole gang. 'Remind me why we brought them with us again,' Felix groaned as I laughed and pinched his cheek. 'We didn't. They came on their own without telling us. At least they are not living where we are. Or else it would have been a family trip, let alone a honeymoon,' I laughed as we entered the restaurant. 

'Steak for me and for you?' Felix asked as I nodded, asking for the same thing. 'You know tomorrow is our three  month anniversary right?' Felix questioned as I nodded and put a fry in my mouth. 'I have something for you. An early present,' he laughed and took out a blue box from his side bag. 'What is this?' I laughed as I picked it up. 'Open it,' he motioned as I clicked open the box. 

Inside was a silver necklace with a locket. I pressed open the locket, which revealed a picture of me and Felix on our wedding day. 'No, you did not. This is beautiful,' I said, putting my hand on my eyes, trying very hard to not cry. 'I did,' he laughed and bent forward to kiss me. 'Thank you, really Felix,' I said and intertwined our fingers on the table. 'Mmh hhm,' the waiter cleared his throat. 'Please move your hands so that I can put the steak on the table,' he said in broken English. 'Sorry,' I exclaimed, putting my hands down, my cheeks red with embarrassment. Felix sat there, laughing like an idiot. 

The night went by like any other as we took a long walk home, having a deep conversation. Every second I stayed with him made me realize how lucky I was to have finaly found someone like him. 

'Good night,' he whispered into my ear as we both fell asleep on our bed.  

'Hey Felix, wake up,' I murmured as he rubbed his eyes and got up. 'Look at the sky,' I pointed out as he looked behind him. The Greece sky was yellow and blue, with a few white clouds floating. Some places were dark as it was still early morning. 

'You woke me up to see the sky which I saw for the last week?' he rubbed his eyes and groaned. 'No silly. I wanted to give you a present. Our three month anniversary present,' I said as he got up again, rubbing his eyes more. 'I thought you forgot to buy a present,' he exclaimed, his voice still down, eyes barely open. 'No of course I did not. I don't forget things,' I laughed as I bent over and picked up a white box, with a blue ribbon from the bottom drawer. 

My hands were shaking as I handed the box to him. Maybe this wasn't a good time. Maybe I should give it to him later. I pushed the thoughts aside and told him to open it. His eyes were now wide open as he happily opened the ribbon, like a child who just received his birthday present. I couldn't take it anymore. My heartbeat slowed as a tear left my eye. I was mad nervous. I knew he loved me. I did. 

His expression changed from a happy to a confused one. It took him a second to realize what it was. He picked up the tube with two lines on it, from the box of confetti. 'Is this what I think it is?' he asked as he looked at me and noticed my teary eyes. He sat still still for a second as I bit my nails, getting more anxious than ever. 

'Say something,' I said after a minute, not able to hold it in. 'Are you not happy?' I asked as a few tears left my eye. 'I am happy. I am mad happy, really Hyerin. But...,' he stopped. So did everything around me. What was happening? 

I was about to get angry at him but I stopped myself as I noticed tears in his eyes. 'What is it?' I asked again, hugging him sideways. 'What if I don't be a good parent?' he cried out as he continued, 'What if I appear cold towards our child like I did to you in the beginning? What if our child...hates me?' he said as he looked at his feet, tears leaving his eyes. 

'Then our child will be a fool. You are not the old Felix, now. You are a new version of yourself and nothing can trigger you into being your old self, all over again. I won't let that happen. You have me with you now and our future child. Don't worry, if anything happens we'll get through this together,' I said as I made him face me and hugged me. He wrapped his hands around me, touched from the things I just said. 'Then we'll be the best parents our child will ever have,' he murmured as I broke into a laugh. 'I love you,' he whispered again. 

'I love you too, my Yongbok Lee.'
