NANAMIN DAYS /Nanami x Reader/ [COMPLETE]

18. Love,

I've been stressed out lately.

Work has been stressful.

Meeting clients is tiring.

There's so much to do.

I can't get a break.

But even so,

"I'm home." I call out wearily as I remove my shoes at the door.

I heard footsteps rush out to greet me.

"Welcome home.." Her smile is welcoming as is her presence after the exhausting day I've had.

She grabs my bag and my blazer out of my hands, leading me inside.

I depart for the shower and she, to whatever she was doing before I came.

I step out of the shower, feeling a little more refreshed.

I step into the kitchen, the smell of dinner leading me there.

The table has already been set- warm and inviting.

I send her a grateful smile as I join her and start to eat.

I really hope she knows how grateful I am even though I find myself not being able to show it.

A satisfied smile escapes my lips as my eyes fall on her.

It isn't so bad because at the end of the day, I'm happy here, right where I am.

Because this is what I come home to.

Home.

Her.

"Should we go on a trip?" She calls out.

I'd finally been rewarded a one week holiday by my boss.

All the hard work I had put in has seemed to pay off.

I had told her immediately after I came home.

She was as delighted as I was.

I had thought I'd spend the holiday at home- away from the world, just us two but I guess..

"Yeah, a trip might be nice." A tired smile is on my lips.

Her face lights up. She goes back to doing the dishes.

"Where should we go?"

She goes silent thinking of a place and I do too, only the sounds of the dishes clinking filling up the room.

Where huh..

Maybe...

"Malaysia?" She speaks up before I can complete my thought.

"I think you've been wanting to go to Kuantan for a while."

My actions are stilled as her words register in my head.

Instead of an answer I walk up to her and envelope her in my embrace.

I really am grateful for her.

My chin rested on her shoulder, I let out a satisfied hum.

"Yeah.. Kuantan would be nice.."

I hear her smile as she leans back into me.

The world stills again as we both relish the moment we find ourselves in.

Honestly, anywhere with her would be good enough for me.

Because she is, afterall, my,

".. Love."
