"Shin Minjae, Taeyeon's husband." He looks around the table and the girls slightly bow their head. Then he directs his attention to Kyungho and reaching his hand out to him. 

"It's nice to meet you, Minjae. I'm Jung Kyungho, Sooyoung's boyfriend." He reached out to shake his hand. Minjae presses tightly around the other man's hand. 

 Kyungho tilted his head to one side while squirting his eyes at Minjae. Taking his hand out of the exchange first.

"You know Taeyeon has told us so much about you." Tiffany speaks after the exchange with her known wide smile. "She said that you work as a journalist for a magazine."

"Yes." He simply answers without trying to keep up conversation with Tiffany. "That's how me and Taeyeon met." He turned his attention to me. Looking into my eyes with a smile gracing his lips. "I knew I was in love with her when I laid my eyes on her."  I reach out my hand to his that he has on his lap. Grasping onto his warm hands with my cold ones. He slightly flinches at the touch but doesn't move it away.  

"Really?" Sooyoung peaked her head out from behind Kyungho's shoulder.

I nod my head. "He had my undivided attention once I saw his charming smile." I keep my eyes on him giving him a quick peek on the lips.

"How sweet." Yuri and Hyoyeon cooed at the same time.

"It sounds like something straight out of a Korean drama." Tiffany giggles.

Minjae wraps his arm around my shoulders.

"Didn't you two only date for four months?" Kyungho mentioned. I feel Minjae tense up against me. His grip around my body tightening a bit.

"It was love at first sight, Darling." Sooyoung lightly hits her boyfriend's shoulder. However, after Sooyoung's words his grip remains the same. 

Until the food is served to us after a few minutes, he releases me from his body. Minjae remains quiet the rest of dinner. While the others engage in conversation with each other. I don't speak much to everyone else either and watch Minjae. 

Was it something Kyungho said?

-

Waving the girls off outside the restaurant. I turn around and see Minjae several feet away waiting for me alone.

"Why didn't you say bye?" I said once I put my arm into his as we walk to his car.

"Do you think he is cute?" He mumbled into the air that I almost missed it.

"What?"

"Don't lie. You think that Kyungho guy is good looking." He untangled our arms and stood in front of me. His teeth gritted as he speaks.

"No, that's Sooyoung's boyfriend."

"I didn't ask if he was dating her. I asked you if he was cute."

"No, Minjae. No." I step close to him, grabbing his hands that are by his sides. "Where is this coming from?" I stroke his cheek.

His eyes flicker up, "I just can't stand him around you."

"You have nothing to worry about. He loves Sooyoung." He remained silent, his eyes staring into mine. "He can't take me from you. I'm yours. Your wife. And I love you."

He leans in, our noses touching lightly and he brushes lips onto my cold ones. Intertwining our hands together. Leading the way back home.
