1 year later:

AERA MUN:

He looked absolutely handsome as I approached him and listened to our vows, kissing him and feeling it all become real for a second. I have a husband now. I am married. I just hope Ye-Joon and omma were here to see me finally getting all that I had ever wanted.

"Aera, have you seen my blue and black suit?" I kept down my pen and looked at him.

"Yeah. It's in the top drawer, to your.... Left." I looked at him through our glass wardrobe and looked as he found it and shouted a thanks to me.

I shook my head. Typical Zemen.

I looked down on my diary and closed it, sighing and keeping it in the drawer in the bedside table.

"How do I look?" He came out, rolling his sleeves up as he draped the suit jacket on his arm.

"Handsome... As always." I went into our full length body mirror, where he stood and back hugged him, laying my head on his back.

"Is that the cologne I got you?" He nodded and I felt a smile pushing through.

"You smell good." I commented and he turned around, pulling me towards him.

He kissed my forehead, letting his lips linger there for a while as I closed my eyes and let him be. Zemen knew I was a sucker for his forehead kisses and he made sure I got them at every time of the day.

"Mi Amor, knows me well, hmm?" He smirked, tapping my butt and I laughed a little but not before pushing his head down to kiss him.

"Work hard on your meeting, I'll visit you in a while."

He smiled and rolled his lips. "Visit? I am just in my office down stairs."

I sarcastically smiled and pushing him out the door and started getting ready for the day.

As I let the hot water soothe and relax my muscles, I pushed back my wait hair from my face, feeling some of my hair getting stuck in my ring. I combed it through and brought my hand down, looking at the ring.

A small smile decorating my face.

As I washed my body and closed my eyes, rinsing my shampoo the thoughts of our wedding day rushed to my mind.

The promises we made to each other, we still stand by. Even though it's been a year, we are still very much in love. Standing by each other, through everything.

After blow drying my hair and getting ready, I took my book, walking to his office.

I knocked on his office door and quietly opened it to see Zemen and Santino in a serious conversation.

"Ino. Where's Juan?" That caught both of their attention as Santino turned to me and pointed at Zemen.

I looked down and found Juan sitting on the floor matt with him leaning on Zemen's leg as he continued coloring a picture.

I looked up at Zemen and he averted his gaze.

My baby is warming up to another baby!!

I went to Juan and he instantly clutched to me.

"Icecream!" I laughed and picked him up going to get him icecream but Ino stopped me.

"Hermosa, he just ate one." I looked at Juan and he hid his face in my neck.

"Let's get you veggies and peanut better. That'll be good too."

"No!" He struggled in my hold and I sighed.

"Aera put him down, he's five now, he can walk just fine." I groaned and put Juan down and he instantly went and sat beside Zemen again.

Santino chuckled, "Sometimes I wonder if he remembers his dad." I smiled and pinched his cheeks. "Awww. Never thought you'd be jealous of Zemen."

Zemen rolled his eyes and asked Santino to leave, he kissed my cheek, picked up Juan and left.

"What you working on?" I circled the desk, standing beside him, bending slightly to look at his laptop.

"Just locking our shipments in and some codes." He ran a hand down on his face and laid back and I hummed.

I held my book close to my chest, as I slowly sat on his lap.

"Aera, I am working." I nodded. "I know. I am not stopping you. You work."

I opened my book and circled arms around his neck, straddling him and kept my chin on his shoulder as I read the book behind his head.

Zemen let me be, keeping a hand on my lower back as he typed away while I read.

It had been a while and I got tired of sitting in one position so I turned my body, with Zemen hissing as he was typing something on the laptop and I interrupted him.

I muttered a small 'sorry' and let my back be against his chest.

••••••••••••••••

"You should have just let Quen do this." Zemen's whine kept entering my head as he whined the whole drive here and now is whining here in the store.

"I wanted to get groceries with you, and here we are. Now shut up and go get two pints of ice cream while I finish up here." He mumbled something and went to get the ice cream as I shook my head, with a small smile on my face.

I pushed the cart, looking at every meat present on display, thinking what I want to make for dinner today.

Zemen came back, groaning loud as he gently placed the ice cream box in the cart when I know he wants to punch those pretty oranges in the back as his punching bag.

I crouched down looking at the displayed chicken.

"Zemen, legs or breast?"

Immediate reply was what I received. "Breasts"

I nodded but stopped mid way. "Zemen! I am asking about chicken, you pervert."

"And Iam answering about chicken, Aera." He shot me his million dollar smile as he gave the order and I just kept blinking repeatedly.

I placed the back of my hand on my head.

I heard his chuckle, that captured attention from all the aisles. "You are not going crazy, amor."

I am not?

••••••••••••••

I grabbed a plate from the cabinet and added spices to the curry as I made sure to keep a drumstick on each of the plates.

After the food was ready, I called everyone and in came running Levi, almost slipping as he gripped Santino for support.

I tched and handed them their plates. Juan looked up at me and I handed him a plate with a ruffle to his hair.

He went and sat down on Levi's lap still calling him 'pretty'.

I felt hands wrapped around me and a kiss to my neck. "My food?"

"Here" I turned and stared at him, indicating something. He groaned and startled me with a kiss to my lips.

I pushed him off and held the plate. "I told you, here." I whispered and he looked down at the plate, pinching me slightly as I laughed.

One and a half year of being together, and I still trigger his weak points. Aera- 1, Zemen- 0

"Fuck off." He grumbled, sitting down with everyone.

I laughed grabbing my own plate and sitting right next to him.

•••••••••••••••

Zemen and I sat at the garden at the back of the mansion as he read every page of my diary.

"Mrs. Garcia was really proud." I added when he gave no reply.

He flipped to another page and kept reading.

"I feel like I am reading one of those cheesy romantic books." He said, closing the diary and keeping it on the coffee table.

"You think we're cheesy?" He shrugged and I slapped his chest.

We kept sitting there, watching the fire as he fed me and himself marshmallows that caused a bunch of memories to erupt my mind.

"I know what you're thinking." He suddenly spoke.

"Oh yeah. And what am I, Mister mind reader?"

He removed the crumbs from my face. "Our first time here. Hmm?" He raised his eyebrow and I blushed and nodded.

"For the first time, you willingly touched and helped me-"

"And then you fell in love." I stuck my tongue out at him as he smirked. "Absolutely not."

"Oh, So when did you?"

"Fall in love with you?" He nodded, feeding me a roasted marshmallow.

"When I told you all about omma and instead of looking at me with pity or disgust, all you did was stay. The one thing I ever needed....."

"And you fell in love?"

I nodded.

"When did you?"

"I guess from the start, but realized it late. Maybe when we kissed for the first time. And you went on a date with Blaise." He rolled his eyes and angrily shoved a marshmallow and I laughed loudly.

"I am sorry, but that was before we got together.... So it's kinda okay. Right?" He said nothing just kissed my cheek.

"All that matters is that you're completely mine now." I nodded against him and held his hand which had my given ring resting on his finger.

Suddenly, I was tackled over as Zemen showered kisses on my face with me giggling underneath him.

Falling in love. As scary as it sounds. It's absolutely beautiful. Your world fills with colors and everything seems to be singing to you every day. I lived for that feeling and now that I have gotten it, I am sure to thank whom ever above for Zemen and our friends. Our family.
