Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
1. negotiations
Yn can't help but note just how big and prestigious Jay's workplace looks as he stands in front of it. One can only guess just how many floors it has. Either way its overwhelming appearance does not help ease that strange almost foreboding feeling in his chest. He sighs and braces himself as he enters.
The receptionist is dressed as everyone would expect. Grey pencil skirt reaching just below her knees and a jacket to match. Rectangular glasses sit on her pointy nose as she types away with her perfectly manicured fingers.
"Hi, I'm Yn. I'm here to see Mr. Park." He says taming his shaking voice.
"Ah welcome!" She says with a practiced warm tone and a perfect smile. "I'll let you through. Mr. Park's office is on the 20th floor."
"Thank you." He answers and she bows her head slightly. Just as instructed, Yn passes the terminals and makes his way towards the elevators, pressing the right button once he's in. The ride is torturously long, or at least it feels like it. He can't help but wonder how much has Jay changed since he last saw him. He, Wonyoung and Yn used to hang out as kids, until Jay moved to America for his studies at 13 and he hasn't seen him since. Well, until now, but Yn figures they'll have plenty of time to catch up once they're married.
The walk from the elevator to Jay's office is short and a secretary with another practiced smile lets him in.
Jay's office is spacious, to say the least, perhaps way too big for a single person to work in.
"Yn, I'm glad you could make it." Jay says, getting up from his desk and walking over to his future husband. Yn can only let out a quiet hi.
Face wise he hasn't changed all that much, still very much the boy he knew. Body is a whole another story though. He towers over Yn and the suit he's wearing highlights his athletic figure.
Jay puts his hand on Yn's back and leads him to the chair infront of his desk, taking his place on the opposite side once Yn is comfortably seated.
"Thank you for making time for me." He starts "You must have been surprised."
"A little but it's okay." Yn admits.
"Okay, let's get to work. When it comes to engagement, I plan to propose to you on my grandfather's birthday party. There will be a lot of cameras already so it's convenient."
Convenient.
Yeah, that's what this is. That's what they are. Convenient.
"Now for the marriage itself. Do you want to move in with me, or should we get a new apartment?"
"A new one." Yn answers. Jay nods.
"Should we sleep in one bed or do you want a room on your own?"
"Let's share, in case someone visits."
"What about chores and cooking? Do you want me to hire someone or should we split?"
"I think we can manage our own apartment."
"I agree. We're not toddlers." Jay says and Yn chuckles slightly. "This is just my idea but, I think we should do skinship at home, so it doesn't seem forced when we're in public."
"Yeah, okay. We can do that." yn answers quickly, trying to hide his initial surprise.
"Are you fine with pet names?" Jay adds.
"Yeah, as long as it's nothing too cringy."
"Okay. Anything you'd like to add?"
Yn thinks for a second. There is a big part of marriage that they have not covered yet.
Intimacy.
"Are you going to find a mistress?"
"What?!" He exclaims, losing his composure as his eyes widen. "Why would you think that?"
"Well, I mean, I assume you probably won't have sex with me so..." Yn trails off. One of the most shocking parts of this whole ordeal is why Jay would marry a man.
"Why wouldn't I?" He asks after taking control of his voice again.
"Aren't you straight?"
"No I'm bisexual."
"Oh." He suddenly feels incredibly dumb. He went to college for Christ's sake of course he could make some discoveries about himself.
"Yn, I won't force you to have sex with me but if either of us had a lover and got caught by press we'd either have to: be branded as a cheater, admit that this is fake or trying to convince everyone we have an open marriage. I don't think I have to explain to you why none of those options are good for us."
"Right, right."
"Well if that's all I won't waste any more of your time. But don't forget we can always make adjustments." Jay reminds. Yn just nods and gives him a small smile.
"I'll see you at the party."
a/n: updates probably won't be as frequent as it was with Bad Habits but I'll try my best not to give up on you my pookies
