Love Me

33. Fireworks

Awkward.

Everything is awkward between them after she confessed.
She's shy and he's too astounded. The fact that his wife started loving him is still unbelievable to Hoseok. He never thought that this day would come.

Both of them reach home and have dinner in silence. The spoons and the plates clinking is the only sound heard in their home.

Sumi can't stay calm or breathe normally. She should be relieved since she got her feelings out of her chest but this only made her tenser.
She wants to see her husband's face and talk to him, ask him how his day was and that if he's tired. But, she can't even look at him. Her heartbeat fastens, cheeks go red, the body becomes heated. All these feelings are a first time experience to Sumi and so she doesn't know what to do.

Playing with the rice in her bowl, she slowly lifts her eyes to look at him but sees that he's already staring at her.
She feels butterflies in her stomach and she doesn't know why but she likes this feeling.

She gulps and immediately looks away, biting her lip.

Both of them walk up to their room together and Hoseok smiles at her before going to the bathroom.

By the time Sumi changed into her pajamas, Hoseok came out in his sweats with his wet hair.

Sumi stands still beside the bed while playing with her fingers and her chest heaves up and down as her husband walks towards her.
Unable to stare into his eyes, she looks down at her feet and her body heat rises as the seconds pass.

Taking her palm into his, he smiles to himself when he felt her hand shivering.

Sumi shuts her eyes but opens them again when Hoseok slips something onto her hand.

Her squishy toy that she dropped on the road.
She thought she lost it forever but Hoseok wouldn't let that happen.

Sumi looks up at him and gives him a soft smile making his heart warm.

"Good night" he says softly before he walks back to the door.

"Let's go watch fireworks tomorrow"

Sumi nods happily and he exits the room with a pleased smile.

It's a long night for the couple. Both of them wish to be close to each other but none of them have the courage to do so.
Sumi sleeps soundly while Hoseok couldn't sleep at all, thinking about Sumi and replaying her words. He's too happy to forget about it.

***

Hoseok comes back home soon and freshens up for the little date they planned.
Sumi is in the living room all dressed up, waiting for her husband.

Her eyes widen instantly when she finds his tall form before her.
A pair of black ripped jeans and a white button-down shirt with his fair chest peeking, his black hair styled perfectly revealing his forehead.
He looks so handsome.

She tries not to stare at him and make it too obvious but Hoseok's too happy that she's even looking at him.
His heart and mind is going crazy every time she looks at him like that.

They reach the fireworks event and walk through the large crowd slowly. Sumi doesn't like to be around people and she's more scared since everyone keeps bumping into her.

"Let's go this way" Hoseok motions his hand to the quiet trail beside.
It's dark but it's quieter than this place so Sumi nods before following him.

The cold night's air hit their faces making them refreshed. All their stresses sweep through them as they take a silent walk together.
Sumi's always wanted to do something like while watching movies and she's really happy that she got to do it with her lovely husband.

Hoseok wants to hold her hand but he's scared that she might not like it.
He contemplates for a minute before slightly brushing her hand, making it seem like an accident.

She bites her lip and blushes by the soft touch. Sensing her positive reaction, he slowly holds her hand.

It's a simple act with a profound impact.

They don't need to talk. Some hearts understand each other, even in silence.

The fireworks start and both of them stare at the sky in awe.
She was told to expect fireworks, but his love set her whole heart on fire.

She looks at him while his eyes sparkle at the sight. She likes to see him happy and make him happy.

The wide smile on his face reveals his dimples and her fingers itch to touch it.

She scared but she wants to do it.

Dragging her fingers slowly towards his face, she pokes his dimple making his eyes go wide.

He looks at her shocked at first but chuckles loudly forming a smile on her wife's lips.

Both of them are happy and in love, always believing that something wonderful is about to happen.
