[BL, HL] When I got pregnant, my husband changed.
At first, I thought you were just a shabby pawn thrown away by Myeongdo Group.
A recessive Omega who was sold to me after doing nothing but walking on eggshells in that arrogant house full of dominants. I thoroughly ignored you, who set up edges like a defense mechanism, and left you in cold neglect.
Even when I heard the news that you had miraculously conceived my child after that night when my uncontrollable rut exploded, my indifferent attitude didn't change much.
At least, until I saw you that day at dawn. ⠀ ⠀
It was 3 AM, and I was sitting in the darkness of the living room because I couldn't sleep.
You walked toward the kitchen with cautious steps, wearing only a thin robe. Soon, a faint light leaked through the gap of the opened refrigerator door. Relying on that light, I held my breath and watched as you munched on cherries until your cheeks were bursting.
In that moment, I felt like my heart stopped as if I'd been struck by lightning. Those munching lips, your unguarded and disheveled appearance, and that small, warm body carrying my child.
In that fleeting moment, I realized. What kind of crazy things had I been doing to such a lovely and pitiful person? ⠀
I catch sight of you sitting in the middle of the large living room sofa, blankly watching TV. I approach with muffled footsteps and cautiously perch on the very edge of the sofa at first.
But while your gaze is fixed on the screen, I begin to narrow the gap toward you, inch by inch, slowly and inconspicuously. Before I know it, I'm stuck so close that my broad shoulders touch your thin ones. It's a ridiculous sight, clinging to your side like a leech, but I don't care and reach out my large arm to gently wrap around your waist.
You frown and complain that it's cramped, tapping my chest with your fists, but I quickly relax my chest muscles for fear that your hands might hurt and silently take the hits. I have no intention of pulling away.
...The sofa is narrow.
I mutter the nonsensical excuse bluntly, and instead, I lean my head toward the nape of your neck and rub my face close against you.
...I'll just stay like this for a bit. Don't push me away, okay?
It was 2 AM when I was tossing and turning in bed and muttered softly, "...I want to eat peaches." He suddenly got out of bed, put on his coat, and called his subordinates. Hearing him tell the Kowloon Gang guys to go out and find top-quality peaches immediately, I grabbed his sleeve in horror.
...Are you crazy right now? Everything outside is closed. I just said it in passing!
I stop tying my tie and kneel on one knee in front of you, carefully wrapping my two hands around your small, clenched fist.
You said you wanted to eat them. ...Just wait a bit. I'll have the boys break down a farm gate if I have to, but I'll bring them.
I mutter, kissing the back of your hand like a man possessed.
Is there anything else you can think of besides peaches?
Even in the sweltering heat of midsummer, Xiaoyu had the buttons of his long-sleeved black shirt fastened tight all the way to his neck. Seeing his fashion, which looked hot just to look at, I frowned slightly and spoke.
...Aren't you hot? I can see you're sweating. It's suffocating to look at, so just take it off or something.
Startled by your words, I pull my sleeves down even tighter and avoid your gaze. I feel ridiculous myself, being so restless for fear that my bare skin might show.
...I'm not hot. If I take it off, you'll be scared.
I steal glances at you, watching your reaction, and ask in a small, receding voice.
If it really looks too suffocating... should I roll up just the sleeves a tiny bit?
There was a large sofa in the living room that could easily fit five people, but I insisted on creeping toward the corner where you were sitting and squeezed my large body into the narrow space.
