Yu Si-hyun’s day starts early.

It really does start early.

Today, too, Si-hyun woke up to the rustling sounds of Spica next to him.

He twisted his sleepy body and let out a subtle groan until Spica left.

It was a struggle against wanting to get up.

If he didn’t want to get up, he didn’t have to, but Si-hyun, left alone in Spica’s bed, eventually got up and staggered into the living room.

At this time, the morning sun had not yet fully risen.

The dim light of dawn illuminated Si-hyun’s departing figure as he left the bedroom.

Still drowsy, Si-hyun stumbled through the dark living room.

Sounds of clattering and light leaked from the direction of the kitchen.

Si-hyun ignored it and headed to his own room.

As Si-hyun closed the door behind him, the bedroom became completely dark.

However, with familiar steps, Si-hyun headed to the bed and lay down.

He burrowed into the cool sheets and tried to fall asleep again.

He fell asleep quickly, but soon the door opened.

Spica, having finished preparing breakfast, came in to wake Si-hyun.

Entering the room silently, Spica gazed at the peacefully sleeping Si-hyun for a moment.

Since they had spent a passionate night the day before, she wasn’t trying to stop herself from pouncing on him by gathering all her reason.

She was just looking at something precious with affection.

“…Slurp…”

She was briefly caught up in agony, but Spica started shaking Si-hyun awake without much trouble.

Her touch was so cautious that it was doubtful that this would wake him up.

“Si-hyun-ssi. Si-hyun-ssi, get up. You need to eat breakfast.”

“Uuuuugh…..”

“Si-hyun-ssi. Si-hyun-ssi.”

Si-hyun shook his body back and forth as if he didn’t want to wake up.

Spica patiently woke Si-hyun up.

Since he hadn’t slept deeply, Si-hyun was able to wake up before long.

When Si-hyun opened his eyes, Spica was in front of him.

He could barely see her in the faint light seeping through beyond the room.

Spica was wearing an apron and looking down at him with a smile.

“Good morning, Si-hyun-ssi.”

“…Yeah. Good morning, Spica.”

Having barely come to his senses, Si-hyun leaned on Spica as he got up and sat at the dining table.

Today’s meal was a Korean home-style white rice set.

Several kinds of freshly seasoned vegetable side dishes. They were freshly seasoned, and the aroma of sesame oil was wafting from them.

Doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) was served in an earthenware pot, still bubbling. It was packed with meat and vegetables, so it seemed like you could eat a whole meal with just this.

The grilled tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties), nicely grilled on both sides, was well seasoned, and next to it, kimchi was neatly sliced.

In front of each place setting, there was a nicely grilled fish. It wasn’t huge, but the flesh was plump, so it looked like there was plenty to eat.

White rice and clear radish soup were also steaming in front of each place setting.

It was a meal that seemed to require quite a bit of effort to prepare from early in the morning.

“I’ll eat well.”

“I’ll eat well.”

As soon as Si-hyun picked up his spoon, Spica quickly moved the fish in front of Si-hyun onto her plate.

Si-hyun didn’t mind and first put a spoonful of soup in his mouth. The broth seemed to soothe his empty stomach.

Then, while Si-hyun was eating the vegetables and rice, Spica quickly used her hands to debone the fish. She put the cleanly deboned fish back in front of Si-hyun.

“Thanks, Spica.”

“You’re welcome.”

He put the well-deboned fish meat on top of the rice with kimchi and put it in his mouth.

The modestly seasoned fish, eaten with the crunchy kimchi, made the rice so easy to swallow.

It was a breakfast made with plenty of effort, love, skill, and ingredients.

It couldn’t possibly taste bad, so Si-hyun, who had only woken up a little while ago, enjoyed the meal.

Spica, who was secretly excited by the fact that her lover was eating the food she had made, also finished her meal without incident.

Spica decided to prepare breakfast on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and Si-hyun would prepare it on the other days.

Right now, Spica was also preparing breakfast on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays as an apology for messing things up several times.

As soon as breakfast was over, they did the dishes immediately.

Doing the dishes right after eating was the rule in this house.

Of course, Spica and Si-hyun were also sharing the dishwashing duties.

Spica was in charge of morning dishwashing on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and Si-hyun was supposed to do it on the other days.

Right now, Spica was also in charge of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays as an apology for messing things up several times.

While there was time to spare, Si-hyun watched the morning news.

Spica, who had quickly finished the dishes, clung to Si-hyun, who was watching TV on the sofa.

The sound of the TV echoed in the quiet living room.

“What time will you be back today?”

“If nothing special happens, I think I’ll be back the same time as usual.”

“Okay…”

As they talked on and off, it was time for Spica to leave.

Si-hyun, in his pajamas, saw Spica off as she left, neatly dressed.

“I’m off!”

“Have a good day~”

– Smooch

Spica kissed Si-hyun on the cheek as he waved his hand.

Si-hyun had forbidden her from kissing his lips when seeing him off in the morning.

This was because there had been more than one or two times where she was almost late because she was sticking her tongue in and kissing him deeply.

– Click

As the door closed and Spica left, Si-hyun yawned and went back into his room.

Since he hadn’t slept much last night, he wasn’t fully rested.

Si-hyun went back into the dark room and began to sleep like a log.

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

He had already moved to the bed earlier to sleep again, so his third sleep ended quickly.

Since he was awake, one would think that Si-hyun, a true gamer, would be engrossed in gaming from the afternoon, but that wasn’t the case.

Si-hyun changed his clothes and went outside.

The clothes were clothes that Spica had prepared in advance.

The coordination from head to toe was perfect, so Si-hyun didn’t even have to think about it.

Today, it was a refreshing blouse and a black dress worn over it.

Even comfortable black shoes were perfectly prepared.

Si-hyun, who didn’t care about minor things like wearing women’s clothes, put on the prepared underwear and went out.

He wasn’t leaving because he had somewhere special to go.

He just strolled around the neighborhood as his feet took him.

The autumn sky was clear, making it a good day for a walk.

“Hello.”

“Oh my. Si-hyun-ah, did you come out for a walk again today?”

“Yes. Did you come out to walk Tori too, ma’am?”

– Woof! Woof!

“Yes. He loves walks so much. It’s too much for me.”

“Hehe. He looks healthy as always.”

“Hello.”

“Oh! Hello Si-hyun-ah! Are you taking a walk?”

“Yes. The weather’s nice.”

“I know, the weather is really nice.”

“Have a good day.”

“It’s Si-hyun Unni!” “Noona! Noona! Hi!” “What are you doing, Unni?”

“Oh. Did school end?”

“It’s over!” “How far did you beat the game, Unni?” “I beat him today!” “Hey, you used cheap tricks!”

“Okay, okay. Don’t fight.”

“Hello, Boss.”

“Oh. Si-hyun-ah. Would you like to have a cup of coffee?”

“Hmm…. I’m okay today. I’m thinking of going home soon.”

“Okay! See you next time!”

——————————————————————————————————————————————-

“I’m back!”

“Welcome back, Spica.”

“Si-hyun-ssi! I worked hard again today!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Not long after Si-hyun came home, Spica came home.

Si-hyun timed his return home for Spica, who always rushed over as soon as her standby time was over.

“Huuuuh! Si-hyun-ssi’s scent! I’m so happy!”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Si-hyun ignored Spica, who was touching him like a doll, and looked at his phone on the sofa.

Spica was going to the kitchen to prepare lunch soon anyway.

Si-hyun had the generosity to allow a little bit of skinship.

Spica and Si-hyun were also sharing the lunch preparations.

However, after the cheongsam incident a while ago, Spica was completely in charge.

Today’s lunch was oil pasta with shrimp and scallops, and a salad.

After a simple lunch, Si-hyun quickly returned to the sofa while Spica did the dishes.

Spica was doing the lunch dishes every day, so Si-hyun had no qualms about it.

Today, he turned on the console game to finish the RPG he had been playing.

Spica, who had quickly finished the dishes, snuggled between the sofa and Si-hyun and hugged Si-hyun.

Through efforts that resembled an obsession, Spica had almost perfectly figured out how much Si-hyun could concentrate and how much skinship he wouldn’t mind.

Within the range that Si-hyun didn’t notice, Spica kept fidgeting with Si-hyun, enjoying his scent and warmth.

Except when doing laundry and cleaning, Spica didn’t leave Si-hyun alone, sticking to him no matter what Si-hyun was doing.

Si-hyun was reading a book, playing a game, or just lazing around on the sofa without doing anything.

At first, they had decided to share the housework equally, but Spica quickly and diversely messed things up in various ways, so Spica soon took over all the housework.

Si-hyun had intended to forgive her if she was reflecting, but she didn’t seem to be reflecting much since she kept messing things up, and it seemed like she liked doing housework, so he just left her alone.

The automatic game machine, Si-hyun, was complete.

Besides, cleaning and laundry didn’t seem that difficult if she used the power of magic.

Except for cooking, the longest time she spent worrying was choosing the clothes that Si-hyun would wear the next day.

Si-hyun decided to just give up on housework.

“Spica. What’s for dinner?”

“I’ve prepared shabu-shabu.”

“Everything Spica makes is delicious. I’m looking forward to it today too.”

“! I’ll make it delicious again today!”

Of course, Spica was also the one who prepared and cleaned up after dinner.

Tonight’s dinner was filled with Spica’s overflowing enthusiasm, and she almost fed Si-hyun with her own hands.

After that, there was nothing special.

Si-hyun went back to playing games, and Spica clung to Si-hyun.

As time passed until they went to bed, the two were stuck together like one body.

“Good night, Spica.”

“Good night, Si-hyun-ssi.”

When it was time to sleep, Si-hyun scattered to Si-hyun’s bedroom, and Spica to Spica’s bedroom.

Spica was looking at him with eyes full of regret, but Si-hyun went to his room without paying any attention.

And soon fell asleep.

Today, too, the day is coming to an end.

For Si-hyun, it was a good night’s sleep in his own room for the first time in a long time.
