I had given Sunghoon an exact time and place for him to meet me in the house for our small celebration. Question was just if he was able to keep the one thing I had made him promise me, show up in actual normal clothes.

I do have to admit, I initially thought it was Sunoo that had gotten off from work for the day when Sunghoon had walked down the stairs in a pair of jeans and a hoodie. The moment he had spotted me a small smile began playing on his lips.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" he let out a small laugh before reaching over and grabbing his jacket from behind me. For some odd reason the big CEO had something was simple and miniscule as a Denim jacket hiding under the formal coats.

"I'm just -- impressed," I excused and he snickered at me, "you actually are capable of being a normal human being."

"Of course I am," he let out a small laugh, "so where are we going?"

The thought of what we were gonna do forced me to bite back my laugh. How could I come up with this idea? Not that it was anything extraordinary, but to see Sunghoon do it... I should've brought a video camera.

"We're biking to Han River, we're gonna go in a convenience store and I'll teach you how to make proper ramen," I stated and his face immediately dropped, no more smiley-face Sunghoon.

"You are aware that we're adults right?" he questioned and I arched a brow at him, "isn't that something teenagers do?"

"That is something broke university students do," I corrected and he let out a small snort, "what age group are we in? We're in broke university student division. Even if you're a million-earning CEO and I'm a broke no-university education person."

"You still don't go to university?" he questioned in shock.

"No of course not," I let out a small snort, "where would the money come from? Now come on before it gets too cold outside and you'll regret standing here and chit chatting. Come on, when was the last time you did something fun you sulky CEO? Don't you just look at numbers all day?"

"Well... no," he slowly pointed out as I just arched both my eyebrows at him, clearly showing I wasn't gonna have this discussion with him right now, "but for you, I'll agree to it right now."

I grinned widely before walking outside into the cool September air, immediately rushing down the front steps to the two bikes Sunoo had helped me find while Sunghoon had worked. Sunghoon quietly locked the door to the house, grabbing the doorhandle to double check it was actually locked. It was.

"I don't recall the last time I was on a bike," Sunghoon admitted as he walked down to me and I handed him a helmet. 

"Well... if you fall you can eat my dust," I remarked as he just glanced over at me, a small amount of fear in his eyes, "you'll be fine, I promise. If you've already learned how to ride a bike you won't forget it again. It's a basic skill."

"Easy for you to say. I've sat and calculated numbers since I was three," he mumbled and I glanced over at him, pausing in my action of putting on my helmet, "what?"

"Are you serious?" I questioned and he quietly nodded, "that's... nevermind."

"Sad?" Sunghoon questioned and I quietly nodded as I closed the buckle under my chin, "I know. You don't have to feel bad for me. I'm somewhat normal, am I not? And if we ever get kids I won't have them do that."

"I'm sorry if we ever, what?" I questioned as I squinted my eyes at him, "you want kids... with me?"

"Well... if I gotta have them some day I don't see who else it should be with," he casually shrugged and swung a leg over the bike, very nonchalantly for someone who claims to not remember how to bike.

"Not Nari?" I questioned and he simply glared at me before setting the bike into motion.

My, my, what a sight he was on a bike. Incredibly unstable and swinging from side to side. I watched him as he pretended to still be mad about my comment of Nari, while I bit down on my bottom lip to not laugh.

"You're never gonna get to Han River alive if you intend on biking like that," I stated making Sunghoon sigh before stopping on his bike and looking over at me, "come sit on the back of mine and I'll bike us there... even though it's not completely legal to sit two on a bike."

Sunghoon nodded before rushing over to my bike and sitting down on the rear rack on the back of it. I glanced back at Sunghoon, who just nodded to say that he was ready to go. I smiled before setting the bike into motion, pedalling down the gravel path from the house.

The longer down the path we got the more I began wondering how Sunghoon managed to stay onto the bike, all until I realized he held onto the seat pole.

"Sunghoon. You can hold onto me if that's easier," I reminded him and he hummed as if he didn't hear me, "you can hold onto me."

"Are you sure? I don't want to make you uncomfortable so soon," he remarked and I let out a small laugh. I quietly reached back and grabbed onto his arm and moved it up to my waist, making both his arms wrap around me within seconds.

"So soon?" I let out a small laugh, "you plan on making me uncomfortable at some point?" I questioned and he shook his head against my back as I could feel him lean against me.

A small feeling of excitement bubbled up in me at the thought of being with Sunghoon and seeing him outside of his usual work life. I had only just returned and I had already managed to turn us into a normal couple for one night, hopefully.
