A few weeks had gone by since that first morning I woke up with Tae in my bed, but it quickly became a habit. I eventually told him he didn't have to wait for me to be sleeping to sneak into my bed, that if he wanted comfort he could just come to bed with me. He blushed after being called out but thanked me and immediately we fell into another routine together at night time, we each showered and did our routines and met in my bed with the dogs scattered around us and fell asleep holding each other. 

It was nice. 

It was safe. 

It began to feel like home. 

I woke up one morning later than usual since I didn't have to run to the office, I took my time getting ready and realized that Tae had left his lunch on the counter, I grabbed it and got into my car but called Joon on the way

"Yes boss?"

"Hey Joon, I'll be a bit late"

"Everything okay?"

"Tae left his lunch, I'm gonna go drop it off"

"He can't eat in the cafeteria with the rest of the teachers?"

"I- well- he could" I nodded "but, he made it and he's probably looking forward to it" I pouted 

"Mhmm.. okay" 

"What's that tone for?"

"Mmm, no, nothing. Have fun"

"Wha-" he hung up on me and I sighed before I pulled into the parking lot of the school Tae worked at. I thought about it but I didn't see a problem with me bringing him his lunch? It really wasn't a big deal. I was just worried about him not eating..or not being happy with what he'd have to eat. 

I walked into the main office and by my surprise came face to face with Jimin 

"Oh, hi" he smiled wide "Tae didn't say you were coming?"

"Uh, he forgot his lunch" I held up the lunchbox in my hand 

"Oh" he chuckled and turned to the secretary "this is Mister Min's husband, Yoongi. I'll take him to his room" 

'Mister Min' I forgot Tae changed his name after we got married, and for some reason it made my chest feel warm hearing it outloud. He wasn't Mister Kim anymore.. he was Mister Min. My husband. I decided not to dwell on the way that made me feel. 

I followed Jimin through the building and down the halls until we reached a door decorated in colors and drawings and I smiled knowing immediately it was his without being told. I could've easily found it myself. Jimin knocked on the door before he opened it and room full of young kids cheered for him, making him laugh before he led me inside 

"Mister Min, you have a visitor!" He announced 

One little girl looked up and smiled wide with no front teeth that made me coo outloud "ith that your huthband!" 

Tae turned around with pink cheeks and a smile "uh- yeah- yes this is my husband, Yoongi" 

"I'll go now" Jimin smiled as he walked past me and out of the room, I shuffled in further and shut the door 

"Hello" I smiled and waved to all of the kids, they all started throwing questions at me that made me laugh before I could even make it to where Tae was standing, I tried my best to answer them all but it was a bit overwhelming having eighteen kids shouting the most random questions at me 

"Alright kiddos!! Time to color in your portraits while I talk to my husband okay! Quiet time please" he smiled as the kids went about their business "sorry about that" he chuckled softly as he stood beside me
