Chapter 118 - New Lifestyle 4

Wonho nods to himself. He just started on his final draft. If he stops now, it will interrupt his design process which is not ideal. Not to mention, he will have to clean up everything he had just spread out on the floor. If he is to continue tomorrow, he may lose some stuff. 

'Lemme guess, until morning?' Minwoo sounds disappointed.

'Yup.' Until morning. Because come morning, some of his classmates will start using the studio. He doesn't want to be there with them because one, he likes to work alone in a calm environment and two, being panicked in a room filled with alphas is not an ideal environment for him to focus. And since tomorrow's lecture starts in the afternoon, he plans to sleep once he returns to his room. 

'You should really get some sleep. And eat.'

'I just ate.' He retorts back, bringing up his half-bitten piece of bread.

'Real food.' Wonho chuckles softly as he thought about Minwoo trying hard not to nag again. He has to admit, though he pretends to hate it, Minwoo's pout is really cute. Not wanting to hold his mate at the hospital any longer, Wonho bids his goodbye and goodnight and hang up.

He then return his focus on the piece of paper in front of him.

…

Wonho pushes himself against the backrest, letting his head fall back down as he sighed. He couldn't focus. He knows he has to finish his work but…

'Hrmm…' Wonho shakes his head and turns back to his incomplete draft. It is not satisfactory. There are a lot of things wrong with it. He looks at the clock. More than an hour had passed since he hang up and still no progress. 

Damnit. He really cannot focus. 

Minwoo is now at the apartment. 

Which means he can see Minwoo tonight and… 

…snuggle…

'Aish…' Wonho sighs a long sigh. He never has this kind of problem before. Even while dating Junjie and Jinyoung, they never disrupted his thoughts this badly. Could this be… the bond? Yeah, it must be the bond. Telling him to recharge and be close with his alpha…

Owh well, not that he can fight the bond. He should give in.

Quickly putting everything away and shoving his drafts inside the holder, Wonho makes way to the door before stopping halfway, cursing at himself. 

He already missed the last bus to the apartment. Why did he decided to stay? He should have gone back with Minwoo. Riding his bicycle there will take too long, and it won't be safe to ride alone at night. 

But he really wants to sleep beside Minwoo tonight…

#####

Turning the key and slowly opening the door as to not make much noise to disturb his sleeping mate, Wonho is surprised to see the kitchen light still on. And standing there, looking straight at him is his alpha, face shocked to see him. The former scans the place real quick, noticing the chicken in a bowl. 

'You're not sleeping? It's 1 a.m…'

'You're here…' Minwoo states, half-asking. A lot of questions are in his mind right now. Is he done with his work? So early? Did he stop because he is tired? If the omega is tired for the night, he will normally go back to his dorm room. Wonho never come to the apartment alone because he said it feels weird to be in a house without the owner. 

Obviously, seeing him here right now is a surprise.

Also how the heck did he come here? 

'I was tired... You're cooking?' Wonho walks toward the counter, putting his stuff on the floor.

'For tomorrow.'

'Chicken for breakfast?' He stares at the whole chicken in front of him. Something is weird.

'For lunch, babe.' Minwoo signals the other to come closer and the latter does, looking curiously at the piece of cooked chicken, in water. No, in ice.

'It's in ice.' He points to the obvious, thinking that the alpha must have been really tired that he is doing random things.

'To stop it from overcooking. I'm making ginseng chicken.' Minwoo answers while chuckling at the other's confused face. He then pushes the chicken further inside the ice water before pulling it out of the bowl, onto a plate. 

Wonho is now beside him, touching their shoulders together while eyeing his actions. 'So fancy.'

'Well, my picky mate only eats expensive food so…' He feels a soft punch followed by a hug which caught him off-guard. Wonho's heat is definitely next month so him being mellow is extremely unusual. 

'Well, you're not there so…'

'Yah, so it's my fault you don't eat?' Minwoo pretends a scold but feeling a nod on his back makes him smile to himself. 

Wonho is being tame. 

He wanted to tease the man tonight, deprived of his fun reaction but soft Wonho is fine too. Although, this is probably because he is tired. He does look really sleepy… 

'Let's sleep.' He turns his body around after he finished packing the chicken. Wonho nods, leaning against the fridge with his eyes already closed. The voice woke him up and the omega quickly stands up straight. 

Loving how adorable the man is, Minwoo kissed the forehead of his omega who is already nodding, half-way to his dreamland. 'Minwoo?'

'Hrm…?'

'We need a drafting table.' Minwoo smiles softly, liking the suggestion. Because that means that his omega will spend the night here, working on his assignments instead of the studio. 

Wait.

Wonho wants a drafting table. In the house. Which means… is he suggesting moving in together? 

'Wonho, Yo-' he stops his question halfway, seeing that the other is dragging his legs towards the bedroom, already so tired. It is fine though, he can always just confirm with him tomorrow morning, since they will have breakfast together. After a while. 

Turning his head towards the living room, he starts to imagine the new interior. The furniture would need to be rearranged and he may have to throw away some things, but it can work. In fact, it can look really nice. 'Yeah, we do.'
