Love Me

34. Friend

Flipping the papers before him, Hoseok sighs heavily. He wants to go home and spend time with his wife but he can't leave work this early.

"Ahh Sumi"

He groans in frustration and kicks the desk but looks shocked at the door when he hears a chuckle.

"Oh sir!" He bows down to Sumi's father.

"Go home Son" he smiles.

"N-no, it's alrig.." he pauses because he really don't want to miss this opportunity.

"Thank you sir" he bows again and walks out of the room quickly before picking up his bag and jacket.

Hoseok unlocks the main door and slowly walks in to surprise his wife since he never came home this early before.

He checks the living room but she isn't there so he proceeds to go the room. Before going up, he looks at the dining hall to find Sumi sleeping on the table with a sleeping Mickey by her legs.

Hoseok smiles softly and takes a seat opposite to her, resting his head on the table.

Observing her features, he blows on her face to move the hair that's falling on her eyes.
She groans softly but doesn't wake up.

With their faces opposite to each other, he feels her warm breath on his face which makes him doze off.

A while after, the bell rings waking them. The couple slowly opens their eyes and look at each other's flushed faces.
They wake up immediately and Sumi sets her hair before standing up.

Sumi takes a seat on the couch while Hoseok goes to get the door.

Yawning, she clicks the remote changing channels on the Tv.

"Booh!"

A scream leaves her mouth and she stands up before looking at the person who scared her.

The fair male dressed in all black with a small tattoo on his neck creeped her. An unknown tension fills her heart as she looks at his appearance so she hides behind Hoseok, holding his shirt tightly.

'Sorry' Hoseok mouths to the person before him and he responds with a little head shake while smiling.

Hoseok turns around to look at Sumi and smiles at her warmly.

"Sumi, this is my friend Jimin"

"Hello, nice to meet you" Jimin smiles cutely.

His appearance is totally different from his smile and behavior.

She bows to him while standing closely to her husband.

"He's my best friend Sumi. We've been together since childhood and we even work in the same office now"

"O-Oh" Sumi replies, not looking at them.

Jimin observes her and understands what Hoseok meant when he said that she's quite.

"Sorry for scaring you" Jimin smiles at Sumi, bending to her eye level.

"It's..it's alright" she flinches.

Both the males sit on the couch while catching up on their new stories since Jimin just came back from Japan. He's been sent there by the company for an important deal so he couldn't attend his best friend's marriage.

Meanwhile, Sumi prepares some snacks and tea for them. She places the food on the coffee table and goes back into the kitchen not wanting to sit there awkwardly.

She peeks at Jimin once again and wonders about his personality. He doesn't look bad but somehow she's intimidated by him.

Sumi plays with her phone standing against the counter and Jimin walks in to wash his hands. He smiles at the blushing girl before him and chuckles when she looks around the kitchen, ignoring his eye contact.

"I'm happy that you married Hoseok, Sumi"

She looks up at him surprised by his words but it calms down her heart.

Jimin smiles again and brushes her hair softly making her shocked.

"You'll be safe with him"
