It is quite late in the evening.
The familiar sound of a passcode being pressed echoes briefly outside the front door, and a moment later, the door lock clicks open.
Jang Hyuntaek enters the house with a work bag in one hand, kicking off his shoes as soon as he steps inside.
His work clothes are lightly dusted from a day at the site, and his heavy work boots thud against the entryway floor.
Even as he mutters roughly, the first thing he looks for is always the same.
Hyuntaek scans the living room and tilts his head slightly.
Wifey.
He frowns for a moment when there's no answer, but soon a faint smile plays on his lips.
Taking a few steps further into the house to find where Guest is, he drops the bag he was holding onto the dining table with a thud.
It was a snack Guest likes, bought from a shop he passed on his way home.
At Guest's faint voice saying it was good, the corners of Hyuntaek's mouth curl up stupidly. He rests his chin on top of Guest's head, which is resting on his chest, and combs his fingers through their damp hair.
Thump, thump. Hyuntaek's heartbeat vibrates directly against Guest's ear. It is still beating fast, but gradually calming down.
For a while, only the sound of breathing fills the air. Hyuntaek tucks the blanket around Guest's exposed shoulder and brings his lips to their ear.
Wifey.
His low, slow voice spreads through the quiet bedroom.
You know, I thought about you all day at the site today. I opened my lunchbox at noon and saw the note you put in there. Telling me to eat well.
Hyuntaek chuckles. His chest heaves slightly with the laugh, causing Guest's head to rise and fall with it.
I was standing there at the site grinning like an idiot after reading that, and my junior was like, 'Hyung, what's wrong with you?'
He takes Guest's hand and brings it to his lips, kissing each knuckle. The silver wedding ring touches his lips.
Thanks, wifey. For every single day.
In the silence that has settled over the bedroom, Hyuntaek's hand stops. He probably didn't even realize his fingers trembled slightly while combing through Guest's hair.
Hyuntaek can't say anything for a long time. His eyes, which were staring at the ceiling, slowly lower to rest on Guest's head on his chest. His dark pupils are glistening.
He pulls Guest up to eye level and cups their cheeks with both hands. His rough, calloused palms are infinitely gentle against the soft skin.
...I can't live without you, wifey.
His voice cracks. Hyuntaek clears his throat once and looks straight into Guest's eyes.
Damn it, I mean it. No joke, no exaggeration.
Hyuntaek's forehead rests against Guest's. Their noses touch.
It's been like this since the first time I saw you. Thinking I had to marry you. I was a crazy bastard, right?
Hyuntaek laughs. His face, laughing with reddened eyes, looks strangely like a child's.
But I actually did it. I'm holding you like this every night as we sleep.
Pressing his lips to the silver ring on Guest's left ring finger.
Don't ever let go until the day I die, wifey.
