Just Contract | JaeSahi [?]

"Are you alright?" Gaeul asked. Asahi turned to his colleague who just arrived. Asahi looked at the screen of his computer. It has been about 15 minutes since he arrived. And he has been spacing out ever since. Asahi massaged his temple. He noticed that he has been spacing out a lot lately. "You've been sick for days. It makes me worried. Do you still feel sick? Have you gone to the hospital? What did the doctor say? Did they give you any medicine? Have you taken the medicine? Do you want me to get you something to eat? Have you eaten breakfast?"

"Gaeul sunbae. I'm fine. Thank you," Asahi said. "I just have a lot in my mind. I've gone to the hospital and it's nothing. I'm probably just stressed. Don't worry. I'm alright,"

"Are you sure?" Gaeul asked. Asahi nodded. "How did you come to work? Our Director has not been around since yesterday, right?"

"I took public transportation," Asahi said.

"Why did he didn't assign you a driver or something when he's away? Did he not love you?" Gaeul asked. Hearing that suddenly makes Asahi think. Did Jaehyuk love him? He has never thought about it. Their relationship is solely based on the contract. And he has no problem with that. But seriously. He has never thought about it at all.

Everyone around them thinks that they got married because they love each other. No one knew about their contract relationship. Some people know but not in detail. Jaehyuk has treated him very nicely even before he got pregnant. If people didn't know them and their condition, they will think that Asahi and Jaehyuk have been in a long term relationship and Jaehyuk is very kind to his Omega. That's how Jaehyuk has been treating Asahi since they registered their marriage legally.

If Asahi wasn't aware about them being in a contract marriage, Asahi would probably be convinced that Jaehyuk has a crush on him or something. But no. Jaehyuk just doing his task as a husband and soon to be a father. Jaehyuk just do his responsibility. And the Alpha is sincere about it. That's maybe why It feel like it's Jaehyuk madly in love with him or something.

"You are spacing out again," Gaeul said.

"I'm sorry," Asahi said.

"Do you miss your husband? Just call him or something. You always acted like that whenever our Director was on a business trip," Gaeul said.

"What do you mean?" Asahi asked. "How did I act whenever our Director is on a business trip?"

"Why? You weren't aware of it?" Gaeul asked. "Well. You look like you're missing someone. Like someone who's madly in love. It's not weird or something. You guys are married and all. It's usual if you miss your partner when they're not around. You probably get too used to their presence and feel the emptiness when they're not around. You might just depend on your partner and it's fine. That's how relationship works too, I guess,"

He did? Asahi couldn't believe that he acted like that. He acted like he's in love with Jaehyuk? And he's depended too much on the Alpha?

"Why do you look like you just realized something? You really have no idea on how you acted?" Gaeul asked. "Well. You probably have no idea. Before you're married to the Director, you're almost like a robot. But these days, you've been leaking some little emotions here and there. It's a good thing though,"

Did Jaehyuk find him clinging too much on him? Asahi suddenly gets worried. He took out his phone. How long has he been legally Yoon Jaehyuk's husband? It's been more than 7 months since they legally registered their marriage. If following their initial contract, he will only have about 4 months left to be Jaehyuk's marriage partner. But now he's pregnant and in his third month of his pregnancy, he has an extra 2 months left than the initial period.

Is it possible for him to suggest to Jaehyuk to extend their contract? But for what reason? Just because he wanted to stay longer by Jaehyuk's side? He has been too comfortable being with Jaehyuk. It makes him a little scared if he needs to go back to his old life. It's scary for a contract relationship like this to change Asahi's habits. He used to just be fine on his own. He prefers it even. But for him to just think about it now, it makes him worried.
