Rehabilitation: The Perfect Image (2/?)
Side effects may include a loss of self-identity and individuality, frequent nightmares, questioning your own existence, severe mental trauma, constant panic attacks, spontaneous crying at random moments, and a strong desire to stay with loved ones at all cost. Co-written with @violetganache42​. Takes place between Chapters 6 and 7 of Arc-V Aftermath.
"THERE YOU GO, MASTER SHAY," the robot maid said as she removed the barber's smock from him. "GOOD AS NEW."
Shay stared at his reflection in the mirror to see his newly-trimmed haircut. It looked the same, but the noticeably cleaner, healthier, and fresher differences were there. "Not bad," he said, finger-combing his hair. "I look good."
"DO YOU NEED ANY OTHER SERVICES FOR TODAY?" the robot maid asked.
"Actually, yes," Shay answered as was about to get up. "Contact Big Bertha. I need one of her- OOF!"
He fell down face first to the floor as his right human leg moved, but his left prosthetic one failed to respond. It was left in an inactive state that had caused him to fall down and only would move with a device. A device that could transfer Shay's thoughts to the robot leg and get it to move. His earpiece.
"Did you remove an earpiece from my left ear?" Shay asked.
"MY APOLOGIES, MASTER SHAY," the robot maid replied as she held out a small earpiece. "I WAS AFRAID OF ACCIDENTALLY CUTTING SOME WIRES DURING THE HAIRCUT."
She handed it to Shay and he reattached it onto his left ear. The thoughts of him standing back up transmitted from his mind, to the earpiece, and to the robotic leg as he got up from the floor with ease. He briefly explained how essential it was for him to have it because it helps him perform a variety of movements.
"MY SCANNERS INDICATE YOUR LEFT LEG LOOKS NORMAL, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY ARTIFICIAL," the robot maid stated. "WHAT HAPPENED?"
"My left leg was crushed during the Invasion thanks to a Chaos Ancient Gear Giant," Shay answered. "Because of that, I had to get it amputated and replaced with a robotic prosthetic."
The robot maid understood on why the earpiece was necessary for Shay because she was just informed on how it helps control the leg. With the topic already covered, Shay almost forgot to have Big Bertha contacted. "YOU WISH TO HAVE A DEEP TISSUE BACK MASSAGE?" the robot maid asked.
"Correct," Shay answered. "I also wish for you to get my favorite outfit so I may have something to wear after the massage."
"OF COURSE, MASTER SHAY," the robot maid replied.
Meanwhile, Lulu was in the spa room getting a much-needed princess spa treatment. She was currently taking a bubble bath while washing her hair with her FeatherSoft shampoo. The other brand she used back at Paradise City's spa didn't make her hair as soft, but it surely made it clean. She typically uses FeatherSoft because it was designed to have such luxuriously soft results…without the damaging oils, of course.
"WOULD YOU LIKE A FACIAL?" a robot maid asked.
"Of course," Lulu answered as she finished washing the shampoo out of her hair and leaned her head back.
The robot maid took a towel and wrapped it around Lulu's head to help get her wet hair out of the way. She then proceeded with cleansing and exfoliating her face, using lukewarm water and a small amount of scrub to remove any makeup from her two dances and dirt from the Invasion. Once the face was cleaned, she carried a large pot of water that has been brought to a boil, which will be used for the steaming procedure. Lulu leaned her face towards the pot—making sure she wasn't too close—and stayed there for 10-15 minutes to help open up her pores. After that, the facial mask was applied; the robot maid would check for any blackheads and extract them, but that could result in irritating the skin.
Lulu let out a content sigh as she closed her eyes, letting the robot maid place slices of cucumbers onto her closed eyelids to remove bags that were caused by countless restless nights. She was so happy to be back home surrounded by familiar luxuries. She hasn't felt this clean in months, so she deserved this princess spa treatment.
"Well someone looks comfortable."
Lulu didn't turn and move from her spot, but she knew who that voice belonged to. After getting his much-needed haircut, Shay decided to drop by to check in on his sister.
"Hello Shay," Lulu said. "Are you here for a massage?"
"Of course," Shay answered. "After all that fighting, I deserve one of Big Bertha's signature deep tissue back massages."
"DID SOMEONE CALL FOR ME?"
A robot maid wheeled her way through the spa room and stopped in front of Shay, but she wasn't your average maid, personal assistant, or butler. She was the spa room's massager Big Bertha, which was honestly more suitable name for a robot than an egg-protecting container used for a physics project.
"There you are, Big Bertha," Shay said. "I need one of your deep tissue back massages."
"VERY WELL, MASTER SHAY," Big Bertha said. "BUT FIRST, I MUST ASK YOU TO REMOVE ALL OUTER CLOTHING FOR A PROPER MASSAGE."
Glancing at Lulu, Shay knew she would give him a bit of privacy since he usually was by himself with these massages, but she heard their exchange, so it was completely okay for him to undress. She does have cucumber slices on her eyes as part of her treatment after all. With the seal of approval, he took off his clothes until he was in his boxers like Big Bertha requested.
"THANK YOU, SIR," Big Bertha said. "NOW IF YOU CAN LAY DOWN RIGHT HERE, I CAN BEGIN THE TREATMENT."
Shay positioned himself on the provided table used for massages and laid down with his back facing the ceiling. Big Bertha scanned to pinpoint where the pressure has built up during the past several months, with her scanners locating some pain in the middle and lower regions of his back. With all of the running around and fighting he has done during the Interdimensional War, it caused some strained tension around the thoracic and lumbar regions of his spine because he couldn't catch a break. She stretched out her arms to have her hand align in place with the tense areas so that she could generate enough pressure to penetrate the muscle tissue and release the agitation.
The older heir let out a moan. "Yeah, that's the spot," he said.
"MY GOODNESS," Big Bertha remarked as she continued the massage. "I DETECT LESS BABY FAT ON YOUR BODY. HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING OUT?"
"I didn't have a choice," Shay replied. "Working out became my top priority for survival."
"WELL I CERTAINLY FEEL MORE MUSCLE," Big Bertha said. "ANY WOMAN WOULD BE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU FOR A HUSBAND."
Shay chuckled at the comment as she continued massaging his back. He was an heir yet he felt like his parents didn't mention anything about his marriage plans, mainly because of Lulu's upcoming marriage with Yuto. He obviously doesn't have anything against it; he likes the fact that they were getting married soon. His main question was him finding out who he was going to marry since his sister's marriage was most likely going to end up with her living a middle class life. Well, part of that question was just answered because that means his future wife also has to be someone from a high class environment. He ultimately chose not to focus about his plans for marriage; for now, he should concentrate on getting back to his normal life.
Some time later, Orbital entered the room with Shay's Duel Disk. "MASTER S-SHAY, DECLAN AKABA WISHES TO SPEAK TO YOU."
Declan? Why was he calling at a time like this? Was there something important going on? Using one of his arms to take his Duel Disk, Shay unlocked it to answer the call. "Declan?"
"Hello Shay," Declan said. "Are you free this evening?"
"Not that I know of," Shay answered. "Why?"
"I was hoping if you could accompany me for dinner," Declan explained.
"Do you wish to discuss what had occurred with the dimensions fusing back into one?" Shay asked.
"That is an utter importance, but no," Declan said. "I simply wish to spend some time with you now that a sense of normality has appeared."
A moderate shade of pink formed on Shay's cheeks at the realization of what Declan was talking about. Is he trying to figure out his sexuality? Has he been trying to figure it out all this time but never had the chance to do so until now? Is he……gay?
"Are you asking me out on a date?" Shay asked.
"Of course," Declan bluntly answered. "You are rather handsome and I have had my eyes on you for quite some time."
There was a slight problem with this: Shay was more into girls than boys. He also doesn't want to turn down the offer; their first meeting was after he defeated Dipper, Julia, and Kit with his Raidraptor - Rise Falcon, which soon led to him taking part in the Arc League Championship and becoming a Lancer. After finding allies and battling against the Fusion Dimension, it admittedly does make sense for them to spend some time together.
"Very well," Shay said. "I will accompany you for dinner tonight."
"Excellent," Declan said. "I recommend dressing formally."
"I'll keep that in mind," Shay replied.
Right as the two finished their call, Lulu suppressed a giggle because of how amused she was at what Declan was talking about. "Stop laughing," Shay said.
"I can't help it," Lulu said. "A gay guy asked my straight brother out on a date."
"I didn't want to turn down his offer," Shay said. "Declan Akaba is a nice guy, but I don't see him that way."
"And your idol posters would agree," Lulu added.
"Lulu!" Shay exclaimed.
"What?" Lulu innocently asked. "I remember you having that phase."
At one point during his early teens, Shay went through a phase where he was a huge fan of K-Pop and had posters some of the female K-Pop idols, with his favorite being 4Minute.
"I grew out of it!" Shay insisted.
"Yeah you did," Lulu said sarcastically. "I remember hearing you talking in your sleep about wanting to marry the lead singer of 4Minute."
"Lulu!" Shay exclaimed once more, his face turning red with embarrassment.
"And just about everyone in the Resistance could hear you," Lulu playfully recalled.
This dates back to something occurring during the Invasion, when the Resistance was nearly done setting up their base of operations. One night, the members were all trying to sleep with what they managed to salvage from all the rubble, specifically pillows and blankets without mattresses. They weren't the most comfortable beds they slept on, but they had to deal with it for one more night until their main base was completed. As they struggled to find a tolerable position to sleep in, they heard someone muttering something as they slept. From what they could tell, this person wanted to marry Jiyoon, the lead vocalist of 4Minute; as they turned their heads to where the mutters were coming from, they noticed Shay was the one saying all that stuff despite growing out of his K-Pop phase. They all got a good laugh out that discovery that night, which was what they kind of needed after spending so much time trying to survive from the clutches of Duel Academy.
"Lulu!" Shay exclaimed again, causing her to laugh in a very unladylike manner.
"Oh, come on!" Lulu said once she calmed down. "It was funny!"
"Everyone in the Resistance kept on teasing me for weeks," Shay said.
"But this just proves my point," Lulu said. "You're not gay at all, so I can tell how uncomfortable it is for you to go on a date with a gay guy."
"It is," Shay agreed. "I-" He let out a loud moan.
"DID I HIT A SWEET SPOT?" Big Bertha asked.
"A little," Shay squeaked out. "Keep going."
Big Bertha continued with the massage, making sure to be gentle around the big knot she stumbled upon. Shay then tried again with what he was about to say in regards to him going out with Declan.
"I'm not sure what Declan is actually planning," Shay said. "I do see him as an equal as both a Duelist and a friend, but not anything more."
"Then you shouldn't see it as a date," Lulu pointed out. "See it as simply hanging out with a friend."
"I'll try," Shay said.
"And you should have fun," Lulu added. "The war's over, so you should relax."
A few minutes later, Big Bertha completed her programmed deep tissue back massage and it was right in the nick of time because a robot maid has brought out Shay's favorite outfit as he requested: a dark gray shirt, a long-sleeved, light gray button-up shirt, dark jeans, and a pair of casual sneakers. As for Lulu, she was finished with her facial and princess spa treatment. She went into a smaller room to get changed into a sleeveless, light blue dress with a pattern of red, pink, and white roses on it and some white flats. She has missed styling her long hair and wanted to try out something different than her usual pinned-up, bow-shaped style.
After brushing her hair, Lulu clapped her hands twice, prompting Lillybot to approach her. "YES, MISTRESS LULU?"
"Can you provide me with any long hairstyle recommendations?" Lulu asked.
"CERTAINLY, MY MISTRESS," Lillybot replied.
Lillybot displayed a holographic-projected screen and scrolled through a list of images of various long hairstyles that she has saved into her program. Some time later, Lulu found a hairstyle that caught her eye: a bun-ponytail combo. "Wow," she remarked. "Lillybot, I choose that hairstyle."
Lillybot stopped scrolling and clicked on the image of a woman facing away from the camera to reveal her blonde hair was tied in a bun-ponytail. It was clear the length of the hair in the image was shorter than Lulu's because it went past her shoulders, so that would mean the latter's would stop approximately below her breasts or somewhere within that vicinity.
"SHALL I PROVIDE AN EXTRA MIRROR FOR YOU TO SEE?" Lillybot asked.
"Of course," Lulu answered, wanting to copy the hairstyle herself.
Lillybot left the room to get Lulu a second mirror for her. At the same time, Shay had gotten dressed in his pre-Invasion attire. He looked at his reflection, happy with the results. It was as if the Invasion had never occurred. His perfect image was successfully restored. Through the mirror, he saw Lillybot wheeling by him with an extra one in her robotic hand and making her way back to spa's smaller room.
"HERE YOU GO, MISTRESS LULU," Lillybot said, holding up the mirror to the back of the heiress' head.
"Thanks Lillybot," Lulu said.
The saved image of the bun-ponytail projected itself for her to use as reference as she began to tie a portion of her hair into a ponytail and rolled it up into a bun with a hair clip designed specifically for buns. She then took the rest of her hair and tied it into another ponytail before securing it next to the bun and clipping both hairstyles in place, finalizing the ponytail bun.
"YOU LOOK AMAZING," Lillybot said.
"I know," Lulu replied as she smiled at her reflection. Her perfect image was fully restored. She and Lillybot exited the smaller room to meet up with Shay near the spa room's doorway.
"You look beautiful this fine afternoon, Lady Obsidian," Shay said with a slight bow.
"And you look rather handsome, Lord Obsidian," Lulu replied with a curtesy.
The Obsidian siblings may be live in an elite society, but they do have moments where they joke around with each other like most siblings do. Despite the recent teasing about his K-Pop phase, it felt like forever since the last time they bonded as brother and sister.
"Shall we go see what mother and father have in store to celebrate our restored lives?" Shay asked.
"We shall, dearest brother," Lulu answered.
The two left the spa room to find where their parents were. From what they heard, the two were most likely showering and getting changed into cleaner clothes, so would that mean they were in their bedroom? If so, then they may need some time to freshen themselves up. If not, they are bound to be somewhere else in the house. They didn't have to search for long because Orbital approached them.
"MASTER S-SHAY, MISTRESS L-LULU," Orbital instructed. "YOUR PARENTS WANTED ME TO ESCORT YOU TO THE BILLIARD ROOM."
The billiard room was—as the name suggests—where the family played pool, but more importantly, they typically hold family meetings there. With chairs circling each other near a fireplace and a bar counter stocked with drinks in case they get thirsty, it was the ideal place for them to meet and discuss issues and certain topics.
"A family meeting?" Lulu asked. "We haven't had one since mother and father told us they adjusted my wedding plans so I would marry Yuto instead of Reginald."
"I know," Shay agreed. "I wonder what they want to tell us."
They ended up following Orbital down the halls and arriving at the billiard room where they saw Kameron and Astra sitting on two of the chairs near the fireplace. Shay and Lulu sat down on the remaining two chairs near the fireplace.
"Hello children," Astra said. "I see you have both restored your perfect images."
"We have," Shay said. "So what is it you wish to tell us?"
"First of all, we have some news to reveal," Kameron said. "Shay, when you were born, we set up an arranged marriage with the Papillions."
"I heard of them," Shay said. "The Papillions are in charge of the biggest supermarket company in Heartland."
"Correct," Astra said. "You are set to marry their only daughter, Dextra Papillion."
Shay didn't mind about the arranged marriage at all; in fact, he was completely okay with it. With Lulu set to marry Yuto instead of Reginald in the future, they needed an heiress for the Obsidian family name.
"I understand," Shay said. "Since I will carry the Obsidian name, I'm aware that this marriage is so the name can continue for future generations."
"Of course," Lulu said. "Yuto and I both agreed I would take his last name when we get married."
"Which brings us to that upcoming wedding," Kameron said.
"Sweetie, we have seen how great of a boy Yuto is, but it's still not enough," Astra said. "As soon as he moves in, he will be tasked with lessons to help develop his perfect image."
"But I heard the interview was a success," Lulu said.
"True, but he does not have the right look," Kameron said.
"You see Lulu, Yuto arrived at ObsidianCorp with a semi-formal outfit and what appeared to be a lot of hair gel," Astra recalled. "He clearly has no idea how to properly dress for a business or formal environment."
He succeeded in pleasing her and her husband personality-wise, but his attire was another story. He has no experience of what to expect when working in a high class society considering he was born a middle class resident. In short, his first impression didn't work out per se yet it wasn't a complete failure. They may have a plan for him to help gain enough knowledge about business, formal, and elite social atmospheres.
"But mother, I can assure you that Yuto is comfortable wearing suits," Lulu said.
"And yet he did not wear one for the job interview," Astra pointed out.
"Because one of his suits was ruined from the Invasion and he already wore his other suit for the LID dance," Shay explained, taking out his Duel Disk to show his parents the dueling club group photo taken during the dance.
In the photo, Kameron and Astra saw the LID dance group photo of the Heartland Duel School dueling club and noticed Yuto wearing the black suit Yuya and Yusho got for him. Needless to say, they were impressed.
"Incredible," Kameron said. "Despite being born a commoner, he looks exactly like a sharp businessman."
"I know," Astra agreed. "And his hair is spiky, but it looks coiffed and well-brushed."
"Not to mention his perfect posture," Kameron said. He returned the Duel Disk to Shay. "How could a commoner like him already know how to dress formally?"
"I might have helped," Shay answered. "When he took an interest in dueling, I told him to imagine himself as being brave and noble like the Phantom Knights."
"That would explain why he prefers dueling with those cards," Astra noted.
She wasn't wrong, but when Shay gave Yuto that advice, it helped change his personality and appearance into something more gentlemanly. He had inadvertently shaped his friend into what he is today.
"But that doesn't change his background," Kameron pointed out. "Yuto Osaku is still a commoner. If he wishes to be a part of this family, he needs to learn how to act like a true upperclassman."
This was where their plan comes to play. They wish to have Yuto live with them in order for him to understand upperclassman life and utilize those skills when he sets off on his own path for the future, preferably when he graduates from Heartland Duel School.
"Of course," Lulu said. "I understand, father."
"Thank you for understanding, Lulu," Kameron said. "Besides, Yuto appears to already be a proper gentleman with utter grace. I'm sure he will fit in with ease."

Song of the Week
I’m procrastinating what I should actually be doing by writing this. So, nothing new here.
This is a long one because I had time, so I went for it! And there are a LOT of ballads that I actually talked about for once.
Honorable Mentions:
Distorted is as accurate name musically for Kim Ye Na’s new song. The vocals are ballad-y, soft and ever so slightly strange in their melodic choices. The background is decidedly not a ballad though, with piano mixed into electronic mixing of too many different sounds to count. The only change I would make is a little bit more of a comprehensible structure, because the song gets to the end in one big build that doesn’t seem to ever really hit the peak it means to.
Martin Smith does an decent job on the ballad for this week, and the MV has a cutish plot, but I’m too salty over the lack of cool guitar solos. You have Jung Sungha, and you waste him like this.
I’m not sure if it’s the atmospheric cello, or the vocals that are so breathy as to almost not be there, but NUZ’s You is surprisingly compelling to me, at least in the first half. When the vocals drop out a bit, I lost interest.
I stuck with Jung Seung Hwan’s It’s Raining because I trust him to have great vocals, and also because of the video. Because this is the gold standard for me for ballad videos with just the artist. If you aren’t going to have a plot, you better have some perfect composition. And this single shot is perfectly composed It is lit beautifully, it, almost assuredly was cheap, and it highlights the artist. Oh, and the vocals are great, and the background music didn’t annoy me too much, so it was all around a win. (I could write a whole thing about the use of only like 5 distinct frames in this video and how it affects the mood, but I will stick with just what I already said).
Heechul and Min Kyunghoon always have great MVs when they work together. The MV for Falling Blossoms is no different. I like that while they did you the idiot trope they didn’t lean into it in a way that felt disrespectful. It didn’t feel like a caricature, but a bit more like a real person. And of course the vocals sound good, since Heechul holds up to Kyunghoon’s vocals (I think he might actually be the more skilled vocalist). Also, I don’t know why they have the English title as Falling Blossoms, when the title actually translates to Aftereffect. Since I don’t know the lyrics, Idk which is a better title (I’m partial to Aftereffect).
I LOVE a Gray beat. And the beat in Hash Swan’s Wang like Alexander is no different. The chorus is fun, and I’m impressed by Hash Swan’s rapping, which has never really grabbed e in the past (I think because it is pretty high in tone). Also, the title in a play on words and I love it very much.
What can I say, Notorious hits all the beats it needs to to pull off the kind of song it is. And I’ve heard it before, but I am still absolutely all about it. It belongs on a pump up playlist before the big game. And the rock solo was great, especially with the mix adding and taking away EDM elements. It is my first Station song this year that I’ve liked, and a reminder that I like SM’s continued exploration of music.
I figured out what I didn’t like about Weki Meki’s Lalala in the first chorus. The verse is for the most part good. And almost all of the musical elements are stuff I like. Then I realized that the sirens I was hearing weren’t from the hospital outside of my apartment, but were in the song. They cause this building tension that is never able to reach a resolution, because the siren doesn’t ever really stop. And it is so quiet, that you don’t notice it consciously at first, you just feel the roller coaster from it. It makes the first half of the song un-listenable for me now. The second half is good though.
If I ignore some of the fashion in BoA’s One Shot Two Shot (I’m picky, and I’m not a fan of what is on trend right now), I regret going all in on Nega Dola. Because this song is what I was dreaming for from BoA. It is sung beautiful, and the dance is a master class in idol soloist skills. She does not stop moving the whole time, and is stunning throughout. And I am incredibly confused by the end of the video. Just watch it. I can’t decide how to react.
The entire verse of NCT U’s Boss makes me feel like I’m watching what EXO would have been if they debuted just a little bit later: lot’s of bass, harmonies and vocal runs everywhere, and skilled rapping (one of the places where EXO has always struggled). The chorus though is much more NCT in flavor. I like both parts separately. I’m not sure I like then together, but I will give this song a chance to change my mind.
While I’m a fan of I.M’s Fly With Me (how could I not like that bass line), I think he is missing a little bit of contrast. I wish he changed up the pace between the rapping and the vocals. Instead, both are slow, and with a backing track that never really changes either, there isn’t a whole lot of room for interesting things to happen. For example, Who Am I featuring Yeseo does a better job of having contrast, so I know he can do it.
Wheesung’s part in Andenayon is my favorite thing to happen this week. Just . . . please . . . go listen to like the first minute of this song for Wheesung being so so so extra. He’s in later parts too, but that first minute . . . I mean, you can watch the rest too, since there are a bunch of cameos, but I would say Wheesung’s is the best (he ever has a bts thing, which involves him lip syncing and everyone else dying of laughter).
I know intellectually that Yoseob is an idol and so can dance and stuff, but his solo stuff has been a majority ballads, so I wasn’t expected pretty much any of Where I am Gone. Everything in front of the red/pink back lit set is my favorite thing from the video. Oh, and the vocals are great, and the song itself is decent too.
I’m a sucker for contemporary dance, so I love video for Vromance’s Star. It is shot well, with some really fun color filters, and a great use of it’s set. And the song is good in a sort of simple, sort of sexy way. I just wish that it had more of the harmonies I have come to love and expect from Vromance (the live has a little more obvious harmony, thankfully). To be fair though, I’m just excited that they are back, since it has been a year since their last comeback.
Sometimes, I know within the first couple bars of a song that it is going to win the week. That was absolutely what happened this week with CLC’s Black Dress. It is fun and fresh. It is pretty much everything I want from CLC as a group, who has now cemented themselves in my head as 4Minute’s spiritual successor. And they are killing that specific blend of bad-assery and insanely impressive dancing and vocals. They did not have competition this week that was even close.

2AM I’m In Love
Idol: Jihyun (4Minute)
Summary:  Can you do a scenario with Jihyun where she comes home stressed and tired, to find that you her girlfriend had cooked for her and ran her a bubble bath to help her relax?
Writer: Admin Kiwi
A/N: I’m sorry if this isn’t exactly what you had in mind, I tried my best. Please enjoy!
Tumblr media
Jihyun loved being an idol, but even she had her limits. There was only so long she could keep performing and memorizing lines on little sleep and next to no food. Even now, the moon had been in the sky for hours and the roads were next to empty. Her phone flashed the numbers “2:15AM” at her when she looked at it as she climbed out of her car, and she rubbed her head, groaning slightly. After locking her car, she stumbled around the back and headed towards the stairs leading up to the apartment. Her steps were sluggish, and she debated the pros and cons of just sleeping on the stairs, but decided against it and kept going until she reached her floor. She was digging her keys out of her pocket when a noise from inside the apartment made her freeze.
A noise? That couldn’t be right. Her eyes narrowed as she put the key into the lock and slowly opened the door, looking around in the dim light inside. The light in the kitchen was on, and she could smell food and the faint scent of something else that she couldn’t quite place. Strawberries, maybe?
“(Y/N)?” She stepped inside and closed the door slowly behind her, toing off her shoes and placing her bag down. She could hear someone in the kitchen, so she shuffled her way over, suddenly feeling a bit more awake at the thought of food. Although it wasn’t normal for you to be awake when she got home, she wondered….
“You’re finally home!” A smile made its way onto her face as she turned the corner and came face to face with you, dressed in your pjs and an old apron one of you had found in a box the other day.
“Why are you still awake? It’s way past your bedtime.” As happy as she was, she couldn’t help but be concerned. You usually worked early mornings, so it wasn’t normal for you to stay up so late. Not that she was one to be talking about sleeping enough.
“I took off tomorrow. You’ve been working yourself way too hard, and I saw that you finally get a day off tomorrow, so I wanted to surprise you with some food and a bubble bath.” So that was the strawberry smell. Jihyun was so tired she almost started crying out of fondness, but she shoved it down and collapsed into your arms instead, laughing softly.
“Wow. What kind of angel are you?” You laughed and wrapped your arms around her, and she buried her face in your neck and hugged you tightly, closing her eyes and letting the some of the tension seep from her shoulders. She was still so tired, though. “What did you make?”
“It’s not a full meal or anything… Just some soup, but it’ll at least get something into you. How long has it been since you ate?” You leaned back, prompting Jihyun to lift her head and smile sheepishly.
“Uh, I ate a protein bar this morning sometime?” You gawked at her, taken aback, before quickly stepping back and walking to the stove.
“Sit down, I’ll get you a bowl. You can eat, and then we’ll take a bath and sleep in tomorrow.” Jihyun pouted, but sat down at the table, truly too tired and hungry to protest. “You have to start taking care of yourself.”
“I know,” Jihyun sighed. “But sometimes I just get so busy I forget to eat. A lot of the others at the studio are the same.” You placed the bowl of soup in front of her gently and ran a hand through her hair gently.
“I know. But still. You can’t sing or act if you’re dead.” Then you smiled, lightening the mood. “I’m going to go check the bath and add some hot water. You eat.” Nodding, Jihyun took a bite of the soup, and then another and another, suddenly realizing just how hungry she was. Within minutes, she was almost finished with the bowl, surprising you when you walked back into the room.
“I guess I was hungrier than I thought I was.” She laughed at the impressed look on your face and finished the last few sips of the soup before standing and padding over to the sink. “Thank you. It tasted really good.” You flushed slightly, making her grin and walk back over to you, wrapping her arms around your shoulders and placing a chaste kiss on your lips. “Lead the way to the bathroom, love.” You couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped your lips.
“And here I thought you might pass it up because you were too tired.” She scoffed.
“I haven’t had a bubble bath in forever. There’s no way I’m going to pass this one up.” Grinning, she kissed your lips again and let go, allowing you to take her hand and tug her towards the bathroom. Inside, you dropped her hand and turned around to check the temperature of the water. As you did, she shut the door and leaned against it, a fond smile playing on her face as she watched you. “Hey.” You looked up, raising your eyebrows in question, and she stepped forward, resting her chin on your shoulder and pulling you into a back hug. “I love you.”
“Wow, you sap.” You leaned your head against hers, and the butterflies that had died due to lack of sleep suddenly came back to life in her stomach. “I love you too.”
