Just Contract | JaeSahi [?]

"Is it not enough?" Asahi asked. Jaehyuk didn't say anything but then leaned forward to capture Asahi's lips again. They kissed for a few minutes before Asahi tapped Jaehyuk's shoulder, signaling him to pull out.

"Thanks,"

"Go and take a shower. I'll find you something to change into. You have a meeting to attend, right?" Asahi asked.

"Oh. Yeah,"

"But before you go to the airport, I want to bring you to meet my grandmother. And introduce you as my future husband," Asahi said. "Are you okay with that?"

"Alright," Jaehyuk said before Asahi left. Jaehyuk stares at the doorway after Asahi disappeared from his sight. Jaehyuk let out a sigh. He still can't believe what happened. He flies here after he gets the news about Asahi's grandmother getting hospitalized. He even pays for the debt that Asahi's uncle makes and uses his grandmother as the guarantor. He spends the day at Asahi's grandmother's house doing his work, barely even having a conversation with Asahi. After he fell asleep and caught Asahi staring at him, they suddenly wrote and signed a marriage contract and even slept together for the second time.

While Jaehyuk expects that Asahi will be mad at him, Asahi just acted as if nothing happened between them while clearly telling him that he remembered and consented to whatever happened yesterday. He's relieved for that but a part of his heart kind of gets the disappointment. Because it seems like the night they spent together doesn't seem to have any effect on Asahi. Does that mean he has a feeling toward Asahi? Does he like Asahi more than he actually thought he is? Is it not just because of the pheromones? Isn't it just an illusion?

After spacing out for a while, Jaehyuk walked toward the bathroom. He didn't know that Asahi had been peeking at him while he's still in the bedroom. Asahi really wanted to bury himself somewhere, recalling how he had been acting yesterday. For a moment, he really wishes that Jaehyuk could somehow get him pregnant. That way, he won't feel too burdened with all Jaehyuk had done for him and his family. Asahi tried to act as indifferent as possible. He keeps reminding himself that they are in a contract marriage.

"Get yourself together, Hamada Asahi," he told himself. Asahi tried to find decent clothes that fit Jaehyuk for him to change into after he finished showering. Asahi walked toward the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two of them. They had their breakfast just as if nothing had changed between them. Their relationship.

The two of them went to the hospital. Just like the day before, their bus ride has been very quiet. Asahi glanced at Jaehyuk once a while. He doesn't seem like he's as bored as yesterday because he keeps on checking his tablet. Checking things related to his upcoming meeting, maybe. There are a lot of things he's thankful toward Jaehyuk. There are a lot more that he felt bad toward him. They are nothing. They have no special relationship other than employer with his employee when Jaehyuk decided to spend a fortune to free him and his family from a loan shark. Asahi knows that if Jaehyuk didn't come yesterday, he might already be being sold for prostitution or maybe is waiting for his kidney or any part of his organ taken out to be sold at the black market.

As soon as they arrived, Jaehyuk stopped looking at his tablet altogether. Jaehyuk has been standing right bsside Asahi after they get off the bus when it stopped at the hospital. While waiting for the visiting hour, because the doctors are currently checking the patients, Jaehyuk just sits next to Asahi while looking around. There are times their eyes meet but Asahi tries not to make it too obvious that he has been glancing at Jaehyuk once in a while.

“You’re not going to check your tablet?” Asahi asked.

“Huh?”

“After we reached here, you stopped checking your tablet. Stop working. We still have plenty of time before we can visit my grandmother. You can do your work first. You have a meeting later, right?” Asahi said.
