STORY OF US | Sakura X Male Reader

Chapter 4 - Our Start

With a grin on his lips, a man stands at the top of the stairs, gently walking down to the pair.

"You didn't tell me you have a girlfriend."

Sakura unconsciously grabs Jaeha's hand as both of them are flustered from being seen during their moment.

"Wonho sunbaenim, she's my—"

"She's your wife, I know. You two weren't actually whispering any of your words earlier," he teased. 

"Hello, I'm Lee Wonho. Jaeha's manager, well former manager now since he transferred out of my department."

Wonho extended his hand, requesting a handshake from Sakura. The girl cast a glance at Jaeha before receiving a nod from him. She let go of him before shaking the senior's hand and bowing slightly.

“I’m Miyawaki Sakura, from accounting,” she pulled away and held her husband's hand again.

“That explains how you get to know this guy,” he quipped. “So, I’m guessing nobody knows about you two?”

“No. We decided to keep it a secret,”Jaeha answered.

The senior chuckled at his answer, feeling amused at how intense the couple in front of him were.

“Relax, relax. I’m not going to expose you two,” he said. 

“But do keep it more subtle, okay?” He tapped Jaeha’s shoulder as he walked past them. “By the way, you owe me a dinner if you want this to stay a secret~”

“What?” Jaeha turned around only to see Wonho peacing out from them.

“Jaeha-ssi, will we be okay?”

Jaeha squeezed Sakura’s hand before facing her. “We’re fine, he’s just a playful guy. Our secret is safe.”

“Anyway, thank you for saving me Sakura-ssi…”

Everything comes to a halt for Jaeha as he glanced at his sides. He considered doing something so unexpected from him, his mind was in a state of disarray but he wanted to go through with it. He leaned in and kissed Sakura on the forehead, not wanting to waste any more time.

“L-let’s go home together later, I’ll text you,” he let go of her hand. “I’ll go first.”

Jaeha's kiss had left Sakura speechless. Her face blushed pink, and her entire body temperature soared. Her arms flailed as she tried to shove the giddy sensation away from her tummy.

“B-baka..."

----------

The following weeks were calm for both of them. After Jaeha's unexpected kiss, the couple's bond grew significantly. Sakura began to drop signals and reciprocate his subtle yet thoughtful gestures.

She began to think of ways for them to spend more time together. Sakura even looked up what activities a husband and wife do, and some of the results made her a nervous wreck. She kept thinking of ways until something came to her head.

“...You have no plans right?” Sakura asked him.

“Mhm, why?”

“Want to go grocery shopping together!?” She asked with excitement. 

‘No! Did I sound too excited!?’

“Sure, I need to buy something for our place too,” he answered.

‘Have I been using us and our too much? Is she okay with this!?’

“L-let’s get ready and we’ll go shopping.”
