Breakfast

WARNING : FLUFF OVERLOAD 

Warm air blowing on Taemin's face woke him up from his sleep. A smile broke his lips before he turn to the source of such warmth. Mina is still peacefully sleeping by his side. She always oversleep nowadays and she blames it on her pregnancy. He hugged her drawing her closer making sure he doesn't wake her up and planted a kiss on her forehead. It has been a week since she was discharged from the hospital and he never left her side since then. 

He slowly went out of bed to prepare breakfast. The first time he tried doing it was a disaster. He almost burned her house down while cooking eggs. But she patiently taught him how to cook what she wants for breakfast. For a week, she craves for the same food every morning. Rice, scrambled eggs, bacon and a piece of bread with peanut butter. His hyungs teased him as he told them about it when they visited Mina.

"No doubt, that is 100% your child Taeminnie. Same food for a week. Only you can bear that." Minho commented which made everyone laugh.

But he somehow feels guilty towards Ji Yeon. He never did this for her. He only make sure she has enough food and got everything she needs. He wasn't able to visit her for a week now but he never fails to give her a call. He already told her what happened to Mina and that she needs him now. To which Ji Yeon agreed instantly. He thought she must be feeling guilty for what happened, just like how he felt when Mina went missing. He didn't told her yet about Mina's condition, he wanted to tell her in person. He might treat Ji Yeon and Mina differently for obvious reasons but he wants to be fair with his children. He promised himself to treat them equally. 

He was flipping the scrambled eggs when he felt her warm hug from his back. She was peeking from his shoulders trying to look at what he is cooking. He turn his head to give her a morning kiss which she accepted wholeheartedly. 

"Are you almost done? I'm already starving." she pouted still hugging him from the back.

"Almost done baby, so can you please just sit over there, so I can serve you breakfast?" he sweetly said while pointing to the dining table.

"Alright!" she gave his shoulder a kiss before walking to the dining room. He smiled to himself as he looks at her, she wore his shirt again. She loves wearing them to sleep and he loves it when her scent was left on it. He took out the egg from the pan and transfer it to a plate and walked to the dining room where he already put the rice, bacon and bread with peanut butter. He placed the egg in front of Mina who has her head resting on her arms on the table, she's still sleepy. He went back to the kitchen and opened the cupboard to get her milk. He would always make it for her, the doctor told them it is good for her and the baby .

"Why don't you go upstairs? I'll bring your food there." he whispered in her ear as he place the cup of milk on the table hugging her on the process.

"I want to, but the baby's hungry." she smiled sheepishly before lifting herself from the chair and motioning him to sit on it then sat on his lap.

"Good morning Taem." she gave him a sweet kiss gently biting on his lower lips.

"Good morning baby." he smiled, eyes still close. He still couldn't believe she's here with him after all what they've been through. He's so lucky to have found someone like her. 

"Mister, please snap out of your thoughts, there's a hungry pregnant woman in front of you. I believe you should be feeding her by now." she held both his cheeks forcing him to open his eyes which he did, staring intensely right through her round eyes.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you? That everytime I look at you, I thank God that he gave you to me? That whenever I think of spending the rest of my life with you, my heart swells because of happiness? That every heartbeat inside my chest is for you and only you? Have I ever told you that I love you so much with all that I have?" he felt the need to tell her all that. He regreted once that he wasn't able to tell her how much she means to him.
