"How was the honeymoon?" Karina asks once she enters the kitchen, dropping her purse on the dining table.

"It's been a week or two since I saw you guys, and I wasn't there when you two came back. So I'm really curious," she comments, walking over to her friend who was preparing lunch.

"The first thing you're asking is about my honeymoon and not something else after a week or two, how nice of you, Rina." Jeno said with no bite in his words.

Karina giggles and gave him a playful pat on his bum, "hey, I'm just really curious on how it went." Shrugging as she said it.

"It was nice, we went to a lot of places and shopped some gifts for you guys–"

"Yep, Winter's very satisfied with her T-shirt. Well, until she saw my sling bag." Karina chuckles, vividly remembering her girlfriend's face.

Jeno laughs lightly and shakes his head, "tell her that Jaemin chose it, he wanted to leave the store immediately because he was bored." He replies.

The girl snorts and leans her side against the kitchen counter, "Jisung missed you guys a lot."

"I can tell from our video calls and mom said he kept begging her to call us again every five seconds."

Hearing that, Karina couldn't help but giggle again, nodding in agreement since she was there at some moments as well.

"He was really happy to see us– not surprised, Jaemin and I missed him too and we were also happy to be back. But that moment just..."

Pausing, Jeno stops his movements on preparing their lunch, hands now playing with each other as he stares at the wall in front of him.

"Jen?" Karina calls, slightly tilting her body to the side to take a peek of her friend's dazed face.

"That feeling felt... Nice, really nice." Jeno mumbles and then slowly turns to look at her, eyes slightly glossy.

"I don't know how to explain it but... It just felt really good, you know? Like–" he stops, struggling to find the right words to properly explain to Karina on how he felt.

He then lets out a chuckle as Karina places her hand on his back, "I understand what you're trying to say." She coaxes him with a soft smile.

"Like we're a family again."

Karina's smile widens and rubs Jeno's back gently, letting the younger boy grab a tissue from the tissue box near him to wipe his eyes and nose even though they were just starting to feel icky.

"You know you'll have to get used to that though..." Karina couldn't help but speak the truth, sad she had to ruin the moment yet Jeno understands her anyway.

"Jaemin's going to have business meetings and trips, so will you– but much lesser since you're the papa. So..." She trails off.

"I know," Jeno hums to himself. "It's going to be slightly hard to get used to, but I know Jaemin will do his best to make time for us as well."

"And what about Jisung?"

Sighing, Jeno shrugs at her and continues to go back to his cooking again. "He's entering kindergarten soon, he'll be busy with school."

"And he's smart too," Karina adds with a chuckle. Her friend snorts back since he agrees with her. "I'm sure he'll understand."

Nodding back, the younger boy purses his lips and comments. "Besides, ever since we came back, Jaemin's starting to get busy now, so I guess it's not really... New."

"Yeah, the office is getting busy these past few weeks, a lot of things are happening and some people are starting to make some deals with him." Karina remarks.

"How about you? How's your experience in the merged companies now?" Jeno asks, adjusting the heat of the stove in front of him.

"Very well, Sungchan's helping me a lot and thankfully we mostly have duties together." His friend replies to his question.

"Also, since he's Jaemin's assistant, I can see why he's trying to be as professional and well-behaved as he can while at work."

"Oh?" Jeno raises a brow in interest, "why's that?"

"Jen, I've never expected your husband to be that scary and strict at work." Karina comments, eyes widening as she spoke.

Jeno wanted to laugh and at the same time doubts her words, but then again, maybe she's right.

"Really?" He perks up, earning a continuous nod from the older girl. "Well, that makes two of us."

"For real, a few days ago, Jaemin entered the building with a cold look once he saw the employees not in their stations and the place looked kinda messy."

"I was expecting him to yell a lot, but he did it atleast two times before glaring at everyone and turning around to head to the elevator."

Pausing, Karina hums and tilts her head to the side, "wait– was Jaemin in a good mood that morning here?"

"What day was it?"

"Thursday." She answered.

"Oh, yeah he was. He was in a rush though when he received a phone call, he then seemed a bit cranky since he slammed the door." Jeno pouts.

Karina blinks before realizing it, she then laughs as she covers her mouth. "Ah, that day was full of meetings and phone calls, and I guess the others were slacking off." She shrugs.

"Don't act cool now, Rina, I know you were scared of him too. You just admitted it a minute ago" Jeno rolls his eyes at her.

The older girl huffs and crosses her arms, "it was unexpected and yeah I guess, Jaemin's kinda scary." Saying it nonchalantly as if it was nothing.

Her friend once again scoffs before choking on his saliva when she then says, "I bet you like it though."

"N-no I don't." Jeno's ears began to turn red.

"Please, you seem to be digging with your husband's strict and scary attitude and find it hot or something." She teases.

"Sh-shut up!"

"What's happening?" A voice spoke up behind them, they turn around to see none other than Jaemin.

The said boy places his briefcase on one of the chairs before walking over to them, he immediately hugs Jeno who squeaks which made Jaemin raise a brow.

"Were you two talking about me?" He guesses, lips twitching into a teasing smirk.

"No."

"Yes." Karina yelps when Jeno smacks her arm. "Ow! Fine, I'll be in the living room or something. Call me when the food is ready," she walks off with a small wave.

Jaemin ignores her as he stares at his wife's now red face, "seems like someone's shy." He lowers his voice, sending chills down to Jeno's spine.

He pulls the younger boy closer to him, feeling each other's heartbeats as Jeno turns away biting his lower lip.

Unfortunately for him– sort of– Jaemin leans in to his ear and whispers, "you weren't like that back in Bora Bora." Nipping on his earlobe a bit.

"Hubby–" Jeno gasps when he felt a little bite on his neck. "Na Jaemin!"

The said boy cackles and pulls away to kiss Jeno's nose, "sorry, Na Jeno."

"If you two are having kitchen sex, go ahead! But let me find the remote first, bastards!"
