special chapter one

t a e t a e

It's been a while since I've took a glass of alcohol, and I rarely smoke now. Well, I do when I'm extremely frustrated or my body just needs it. But the good thing is that my overall health is much better. The last time I've felt like this was when I was a kid. All that suffering led to a good ending with Y/n, my wife.

It's actually weird to call her that, but I'm proud to say it to people who's a bit to close to us, to her mostly. What's funnier is that Y/n tends to be more calm when girls comes close to me, I panic when they come to me because it's been months since I've been surrounded by girls, I'm always beside Y/n. I just follow her around, whether it's groceries or hospital appointments. I don't even spend time with Baekhyun, Yugyeom and Loren.

And that's why Y/n decided that we all need a gathering at our house. I actually begged her not to, I wanted to have her all for myself, but she glared at me. So I shut myself up, listening to her. Well, she's right. I can't expect her to always be with me. She's a very high demanded math tutor for all sorts of age and she's a certified ballerina.

As for I, the loser husband that only tattoos and clings on his wife. I should do something to make her proud, but how?! Even my mother is scolding me, my mother! She's also right, I'll find something to help her.

"Tae?" Y/n calls me from downstairs. I got up from the sofa and went to see her standing behind the counter. I stare at all the numerous alcohol bottles and food serving that she has made. "They're coming in about ten minutes."

"Okay," I say, tilting my head in confusion.

She blushes, tucking her hair behind her ear. She walks in front of me, holding both of my hands in a very soothing way. I like how gentle she is with me, that's why I fell for her.

"I'm probably going to be very drunk so I'm counting on you to watch my back."

"Yeah, that's why I'm your husband. It's my job to watch over you and shut your mouth when you say embarrassing things," I laugh, wrapping my arms around her shoulders. I felt her hum against my chest and her fingers clinging on my shirt.

The door bell rings and she pulls away from me, taking her warmth with her. I grabbed the plates and some of the alcohol bottle in the other hand to put it on the coffee table in the living room.

I hear some loud shattering, especially from Y/n and Jennie. They're always like that when they meet, so cheerful and excited to see each other, it's nice to see her all smiley with her friend.

"Bro, my man, you became a househusband?" Yugyeom jokes, jumping on my back. I balanced myself with the table, clenching my teeth.

"Fuck you, man," I sighed, sitting down on the couch. The two girls came to join us, Y/n sitting right beside me but a gap leaving between us. I just want her to be glued to me.

"So why the sudden meeting?" Jennie starts, picking up the plate of fruit that Cherry beautifully arranged.

My wife turns her to me with a disappointment written all over her face. I shrugged like a kid that didn't want to answer the question.

"He's been so clingy, I've told him multiple times to have a life, hang out with you guys since I'm not always there. Whenever he has the chance, he'll stick to me to the very end."

"What a baby," Loren cooed at me and I wanted to hit his face so badly. "But I understand, honestly I would've done the same if I married Jennie."

"Bunch of morons," Jennie sighs, slapping her hand to her face. "So, planning for kids?" She says, changing the subject completely.
