Okay, so this will be a chapter in the future because I feel like writing those too!! They'll have that star symbol next to the chapter number since there will be more of these.

Also, this contains spice (no smut), and I honestly think it's cringe, but let me know what you think :)

For breakfast in the Safe Haven, everyone joined like usual. Frypan sat with us, though sometimes he didn't because he helped cook and serving food. Gally found his own crew but didn't mind if he had to wrestle with Charlie a few times. Astrid hang out with people of her own age, but she was a great aunt to the kids. Newt and Thomas always sat in front of us. If Thomas was lucky, Charlie would agree to sit on his lap but most of the time he ran around during meals. Abby and Newt had a great bond, but she just sat in between Minho and me every dinner, which Thomas called 'The Abby Sandwich'.

"So..." Newt mysteriously started talking to the two kids, who were almost six now. "Tommy and I decided we would take you two to the beach."

Gasps escaped their small mouths. They loved the beach! "Really?"

"Yep. Just the four of us." Newt laughed.

Abby frowned. "But Mom and Dad?"

"We thought they deserved some... rest," Thomas explained.

Charlie's eyebrows raised. "Was that meant personally?"

"It wasn't," Thomas assured fast. "But I think it's quite tiring to raise two kids, right? Look at them."

Now Minho and I gasped, and he ran a hand through his styled hair. "I always look flawless!" He protested.

"You do have circles, Daddy." Abby peeped. "And Mommy's hair isn't as clean."

"Thanks very much." I smiled a bit, mostly about their worried faces.

But, they were right. It was tiring, especially after many sleepless nights since Charlie really had a problem with staying quiet. Then Minho and I woke up early in the morning so we had an hour of rest before waking the kids up, getting them ready with lots of bickering and sometimes crying, walking to the Haven together, and amuse them through the whole day.

"Alright. That's planned." Newt agreed. "We'll bring the frisbee, go swimming a bit, run around the beach, and-."

"Kiss!" Charlie interrupted in a shout.

All of us turned to him, taken aback and frowning, and after all, no one knew where he got all the words and thoughts from.

"What?" He shrugged. "I always see Newt and Thomas kiss, so I bet they will. It's disturbing."

"Well, I will promise that we won't kiss during our beach day." Thomas held out his pink, which Charlie happily took, making a promise.

Breakfast finished quickly since Charlie and Abby were eating like beasts, hurrying to go to the beach. Minho warned them that they would choke, yet they didn't listen until Thomas had to pat Charlie's back from, well, choking.

And there they left, with a quick kiss and hug. Newt once again assured the worried Minho everything would be fine and they would make sure neither of the kids drowned.

"So..." Minho pretended to yawn so he could wrap an arm around me. I laughed at it. "What does my woman want to do today?"

I bit my lip, thinking for a second. "Nothing much. Just relax a bit, I think."

"I can take care of that." He nodded and lifted me off the bench by my waist, sending tingles everywhere in my body. Hand in hand we walked back to our cottage, which I loved every time I saw it.

It wasn't too big, but lovely for our family. Everything smelled nice and was mostly brown and orange colors, like autumn. When you walked in there was a couch and a fireplace. A small fridge and a sink, because mostly we ate with the others in the Haven. On the left was a door, leading to Minho and my room, with a kingsize bed.

Charlie and Abby slept in one room. Their room was through the door next to the fireplace. They had nice beds, some toys, and lots of stuffed animals.

The bathroom was attached to Minho and my room. It was a shower, bathtub, sink, and toilet, so the usual.

"Ladies first." Minho made me blush as he gently pushed me into the cottage with a hand on my back. "Alright, princess. You're going to lie down and... and... and read something, I will make you a bath."

Butterflies exploded in my stomach. "You'll make me a bath?"

"No, I said that but I won't make you a bath." Minho snorted and lead me to our bed. "Lie down, my lady." He threw a book next to me before rushing away to the bathroom.

The water got turned on as I relaxed my muscles, stretching them a bit too. It was nice to get some weight off my shoulders. And eventually, I started reading a book, which was a gift Frypan once gave me. He told me someone he knew from the kitchen wrote it and to my surprise, it was really good.

Good enough to make me zone out until Minho snapped his fingers in front of my eyes. "Bath's all ready for you, princess." He announced.

I smiled at Minho, following him to the bath with my book still in my hands. It smelled like Minho but with some kind of oil in the bathtub, and it was amazing.

I smiled even brighter at him, and he proudly smiled back. Gently he lay my book next to the bath and placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Enjoy your bath, Lee." Minho smiled one more time, then peacefully left me alone in the bathroom.

I exhaled from relaxation, getting ready to lie in the bath and continue reading. The water was the perfect temperature, in my opinion, and Minho knew exactly how to please me with that.

After at least long enough to make the water lose temperature a bit, Minho asked if he was allowed to come in. I just muttered a yes, buried in my book, and really enjoying it.

In the corner of my eye, I noticed Minho bending down next to me. I kept reading, happiness warming my heart.

"Are they seriously making out in a book?" Minho almost sounded disgusted with saying the words.

"Mhm." I just hummed, not giving too much attention to him. "It's called a romance for a reason."

"And Fry gifted you that?"

"With the words, 'to recreate'. I don't get what he means with that though. Maybe I need to write a book?" I mumbled under my breath.

Minho's eyes flicked on the pages a few more times. "I think he meant something else with recreate... always shuck Fry!"

I never spent any more energy to Minho and was trying to continue reading, until he bent toward my ear. "Wanna recreate?"

Then the realization hit me. He was talking about making out, Fry was talking about making out.

I hit Minho's head with the book lightly and again, tried to read further but Minho had other plans and started nibbling on my ear.

"My ear ain't a chip," I told him. "And you're not a squirrel."

"Well if you don't like it you can always say no." He said seductively, knowing I couldn't resist.

A ragged breath escaped my mouth. "I'll continue reading, thank you."

Minho trailed over my jaw with his lips, barely touching it. "Doesn't sound much like a 'no', does it?"

I didn't want him to have full influence on me that quickly, so ignored Minho and pretended to read instead of almost drooling when he moved on my neck.

Slowly Minho's pushed his lips against my neck with more pressure. I feared he could hear the pounding of my heart or my hitched breaths as he started to kiss at a slow pace.

When one certain spot got hit, I wished to slam my hand on my mouth at the sound that left it. Minho grinned deeply and worked on that exact spot again, leaving me stunned with the book almost dropping into the water.

"Well..." Minho then got up and straightened his back. It left me offended he stopped, but I didn't admit it. "I'm taking a shower. Enjoy your read, princess."

I nodded quickly, trying not to think about the fact he was teasing me a lot, especially with the way he hopped into the shower.

Then I couldn't resist but to lie the book down and get in the shower too. One corner of Minho's mouth moved up, his eyes twinkling.

"Get that smirk off your face or I'll smack it right off." I snapped at him, mentally hitting myself about falling for his teasing and making him succeed in his goal.

My hands reached for the shampoo bottle right after Minho tried to connect my lips with mine. I smiled, teasing back, and handing him the bottle.

"Can you wash my hair?" I asked him. He raised his eyebrows. "Please," I added.

"Of course."
I didn't have to sit down for him to do it; he could easily reach my hair. I enjoyed the feeling of the massage on my scalp and closed my eyes, just for them to jump right open again.

"Minho!" I gasped when his hands went more down than just my hair. "Just my hair." I reminded.

He coughed. "Right."

I scoffed, hiding my laugh by biting my lip. Minho gently rinsed the soap out of my hair and ran his hands through it.

"All clean for my woman." He nodded. I turned around to look at him.

Minho's hair was wet, water dripping from it. He sometimes ran a hand through it so it would go back in place a little more, which looked amazing. His toned chest was revealed, along with his muscles. His face caught me pretty breathless too.

"For how long are the kids gone already?"

I shook out of my thoughts. "What?"

"For how long are the kids gone already?"

I rubbed my chin. "An hour and a half?"

He nodded thoughtfully. "Gives us enough time."

I almost gasped again when Minho cupped my face and started kissing me, water from the shower slipping in between our faces.

Not long after, I gave up and wrapped my arms around his neck. Minho of course had to move away from me and work on my jaw and ear again. I sighed, but that soon got replaced with pleasured ones, instead of annoyed.

"I love you." Minho randomly whispered through it all.

My hands held onto his shoulders tightly, almost clenching when he made contact with my neck. His kisses went from soft ones to hard ones, his tongue got involved, and Minho even felt the necessity to suck.

(Ew)

"I love you too..." Was all I managed to get out along with some whimpers. Minho grinned against my neck and continued with his kisses.

It was like never before. The way the water and the smell of the bath added up in the situation.. the way I had missed it because of everything going on, and the way Minho moved made me feel hypnotized. 

Minho's name left my mouth, and that gave him enough motivation to kiss at full speed. He hit the same spot as earlier, causing me to wince and sigh again.  

"Am I hurting you?" He suddenly whispered. My eyes, which apparently closed, snapped open.

"No, not all." I shook my head. "Why would you think that?"

Minho smiled poorly and motioned at my hands clawing on his shoulders. Once I removed them nail prints were on there, drawing a little bit of blood.

My mouth fell half open. I never meant to hurt him. "Oh. I'm sorry, Min. I-."

He interrupted by putting a finger on my mouth, shushing me with a sound. "Means I'm doing a great job."

My cheeks flushed bright red. "I guess it does. Are you done teasing now?"
He nodded.

"Thomas and Newt may take Charlie and Abby to the beach more often, in my opinion." Minho breathed once we lay down in bed. We had nothing better to do and getting some extra sleep sounded nice.

I laughed and nodded in agreement. Minho wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into his chest. He placed multiple kisses all over my head, whispering the most loving stuff.

"Are you okay, though?" He wondered. My heart melted. I loved how he cared so much, even after 'intense' moments. He didn't dare to leave my side after those events, and always asked until he for sure knew if I was alright.

"I'm okay, Min. Always." I took his hand in mine and exhaled so deeply it felt like a ton of weight dropped off my shoulders.

"Good." He moved his hand through my hair slowly. "Are you hurt?"

"No." I smiled at his protection.

"Do you need anything?"

"Nope. All good."

"Do you-."

"Minho, I'm fine." I laughed.

"But I was about to offer you tea!" He protested.

"I'd like tea," I admitted. "Thank you, Minho."

"Stop saying thank you," Minho replied sternly. "I do what I'm supposed to do." Another kiss on my forehead as he got up from the bed. "Tea it is. I'll be back in a second, princess. I love you."

I smiled even wider. "I love you too."

But if I only knew...
