Chapter 42

In the end, today Darwin and Velove returned to Indonesia. The plane they are traveling on will depart at around 15:30 South Korean time.

Since there was still plenty of time, Velove decided to go to the shopping center first to buy some souvenirs. The plan, he wants to share the souvenirs with friends and also some co-workers in the office.

Remembering that yesterday he got lost and even almost lost, Darwin decided to accompany him. He doesn't want bad things to happen again or to happen to his wife.

"What are you looking for?" Darwin asked when the two of them had arrived in Myeongdong. Because the location was the closest and most complete, they decided to look for souvenirs there.

"I think I'm going to buy a wallet and some famous Korean perfumes," Velove said as he entered one of the biggest accessories shops in Myeongdong.

Darwin then complied. The man patiently and casually follows where his wife goes.

"Have you made a list of who will be given?"

Velove nodded. Long ago, he even made a list of anyone he wanted to give a Korean gift.

"That's it. Most of the division heads. The rest are staff and teams who often help me work."

Darwin seemed to think for a moment. Hearing Velove's explanation, he suddenly remembered something. There is something that is now actually blocking his heart and he needs to make sure right now to his wife.

"That means you also gave Nathan a souvenir, right?"

Once again Velove nodded casually and indifferently. In fact, he knew for sure that Darwin would protest after hearing his answer.

"Yes, of course I love it."

"Just because a former favorite."

"That's not the concept, Win," Velove argued defensively. "Even though Nathan isn't my ex at all, he will still get rations of souvenirs. You know what position he is in the office, right? He's an assistant as well as a team member who often helps me. So, it's only fitting that ----"

"Yes ... yes ... yes ... no need to explain at length. I already know what your answer is like."

Velove shook his head in disbelief. In fact, it was her husband who asked a lot of questions, who guessed at will, and now he is overthinking himself.

"Why, really, is Nathan so allergic? In fact, he doesn't do anything. Mana often makes fun of you. You are jealous of women, Win."

"Who's jealous? Me?" Darwin asked, pointing at his face. His expression looked completely disapproving.

"Not you. But, the neighbors are jealous," Velove said, then left Darwin to continue walking around.

There are so many perfumes that Velove buys. Luckily, the shop he entered also sold the wallets he was looking for. So that all items can be obtained without the need to move shops.

Before deciding to go home, Darwin had invited Velove to stop for a while at a restaurant. Despite the fact that it was already noon, he was sure that his wife must be tired because she had been around for hours looking for souvenirs.

"So, have you got all the items?" asked Darwin while sipping the mineral water in his hand.

"Yeah," Velove nodded. "After lunch, we can go straight home."

Velove then took something from the bag he had been carrying. Then handed the object specifically to Darwin.

"Earlier, when I was buying things, I saw that these were really good. So, I bought them for you."

Darwin narrowed his eyes. Actually did not expect that his wife also bought something for him. While grabbing the Velove gift, the man then asked.

"What's this?"

"You just open it."

Darwin nodded then followed the instructions to open the box that Velove had just given him. Once opened perfectly, he smiled briefly then looked up.

"Watch?"

"Yes," nodded Velove. "I see you have a large collection of watches at home. So, I bought one as a keepsake. If you look at the watch, you will immediately remember me."

he smiled. He took out the watch that Velove had just given him and put it on right away.

"Thanks. The model suits my taste."

After finishing putting the watch on his hand, Darwin didn't seem to want to lose. I don't know when to buy it, one thing is certain, before eating the food that was served at the table, he took something out of his pocket and gave it to Velove.

"This is for you too. At first, I wanted to give it to you when we arrived in Indonesia. But, it seems that giving it now is fine too."

Velove smiled broadly. I do not know how many sweet gestures that man intentionally or unintentionally showed him.

"A necklace? You bought me a necklace?"

Darwin nodded. When Velove was busy buying perfume earlier, he did see one of the cute necklaces. Just thinking about wanting to give the item to his wife. Moreover, after being noticed, Velove really likes to wear various kinds of accessories such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and also watches.

"Yeah. It's a cute necklace. I think it fits you well."

"The pendant is the letter E? This means your initials, right?"

Darwin nodded. Instead of buying his wife's initials, he deliberately took the first letter of her name with various considerations.

"Yeah. Those must be my initials. Can I buy the initial N?"

Velove thought for a moment. Then it didn't take long for him to understand Darwin's insinuation that he said the letter N clearly in front of him. Who else if not Nathan, the man was sarcastic.

"For God's sake, Darwin. I don't like Nathan that much to keep on mentioning him. Here he is in Indonesia, he must be coughing because you've been saying his name all the time."

"Let it be. It's your own fault why it's your ex."

Darwin replied nonchalantly. The man then rose from his seat. Stepping forward, then grabbed the necklace that Velove was holding.

"Here, let me help you install it. Let you use it right now."

Velove did not refuse. He then gave the necklace away for Darwin to attach directly to his neck.

"That's done. Now, your beauty will increase 100% after wearing this necklace. So, if you want to stay beautiful, don't ever take it off."

"Heh, that's it."

"Seriously, Ve," said Darwin as he sat back in his chair.

"So I'm pretty?"

Darwin nodded without hesitation.

"I never said that you are beautiful in every way you look. So, it would be a lie if I said you were ugly."

Velove is feeling flattered. Judging from the look in his eyes, Darwin said those words sincerely and not exaggerating.

Finishing the conversation, the two of them decided to eat lunch and then get ready to go home and go to the airport.

***

Darwin and Velove finally passed seven hours of air travel without the slightest problem. The two arrived in Jakarta at 20.30.

With the driver picked up, the two went straight home. While Darwin was cleaning himself, Velove himself decided to tidy up some of the things in the suitcase and then move them into the cupboard. She is the type of girl who can't sleep when she sees the room is still a mess.

"I'm done. Now, you can take a shower," said Darwin when the man had just come out of the bathroom.

"Yes, in a moment. A little more left. I want to tidy up your clean clothes first."

"That's easy. I'll clean up the rest later."

Darwin couldn't possibly forget Velove's complaints and chatter all the way home before. Even though this afternoon, before leaving for Velove airport, he had taken a shower, he still felt that his body was so sticky. After all, Darwin also knew very well that his wife couldn't sleep unless she cleaned herself first.

"I can't believe you're the one tidying it up. It's bound to get messy."

"Just carelessly talk. You think I can't tidy up the clothes in the wardrobe?"

Velove's eyes narrowed. From the expression on her face, it was clear that the woman had doubts about what Darwin had said before. After all, where is the history of men being able to neatly put clothes or things into the cupboard.

"Just from your looks, it's really hard for me to believe," Velove said honestly. So far, the household assistant that Darwin has appointed has always tidied up her husband's wardrobe.

"Jesus, God. You don't really believe it. Tidying clothes is not a difficult matter like making 1000 temples in one night, Ve. If you don't believe me, after you're done taking a shower, just check it out yourself. If you think my wardrobe is still a mess, I'll treat you to ice cream and sushi for a week."

"Deals!" Velove said quickly and without thinking. If Darwin loses, you can imagine how full he will be during the week being treated by his husband. "I'm just taking a shower for a while. Be careful when you come back everything isn't tidy."

Darwin just nodded. After drying his hair, the man immediately stepped towards the walk in closet. Luckily the clothes and belongings he brought were few. So, not so much that he needs to organize and tidy up.

As soon as he finished doing what he had been assigned, Darwin decided to go to bed. Before actually laying down, he chose to sit while briefly reading the report sent by his secretary this afternoon.

In the middle of his activities, Darwin clearly heard Velove's steps coming out of the bathroom. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see his wife walking towards the walk in closet. Maybe he wants to immediately check and make sure for himself whether what he has done is in accordance with expectations.

"Well ... I won't be treated to ice cream and sushi," joked Velove from inside the walk in closet. About five minutes she was there. Make sure that Darwin has arranged and tidied up the items in the cupboard.

"In fact, I thought you would arrange the clothes haphazardly," Velove continued as he stepped out towards the bed.

"I already told you, if it's just stacking clothes, I can do that too, Ve. That's an easy job," Darwin replied without taking his eyes off the tablet he was holding.

Velove nodded. Grabbing a glass filled with milk from the nightstand, the woman then circled the bed, then approached Darwin. Handing over the glass he was holding, asked his husband to drink it immediately.

"Okay, hurry up and drink your milk first. After that, sleep. Don't forget that tomorrow you have to get up early and get ready for work."

Darwin at that moment also turned off the tablet in his hand. As soon as he looked up and intended to welcome the glass Velove gave him, he was surprised and aghast.

"Velove! What are you doing in a pajamas open like that?"

Darwin immediately protested. She never forgot that the nightgown Velove was wearing at this time was the black satin lingerie that Randy had given her when they had just arrived in Korea a few days before.

Whether it's deliberately teasing or not, what's certain is that Darwin could see how Velove looked relaxed and carefree standing in front of him. In contrast to himself, who had to painstakingly restrain himself so as not to be tempted.

"What's wrong, anyway?" asked Velove with a questioning expression. The woman even casually sat right next to Darwin.

"How come you ask back? Why are you wearing a nightgown like this?"

"Yeah, it's okay. Just want to try it," Velove replied casually.

"You'll catch a cold, Ve. Just look at the clothes open like this."

Velove shook his head. He didn't care in the least with the protest that Darwin had been throwing.

"I won't catch a cold, Win. This is Indonesia, not Korea. Because the day is really hot, so it's just right for me to wear this lingerie. Besides, if I don't even wear clothes, you won't be interested or even tempted, right?" ?"

Darwin let out a long sigh. The longer Velove's behavior made him dizzy. In fact, Darwin had tried many times to avoid awkward moments like this.

"Whoever it is, if it is treated continuously as it is now, it will eventually be tempted," Darwin replied with an annoyed face. The man was silent for a few seconds. Velove could see Darwin taking deep breaths several times and then not long after continuing to speak, "But still, this is too much, Ve. If you're feeling hot or hot, why don't you just lower the air conditioning temperature in this room? Besides, your collection of nightgowns in the cupboard, many are better than this. Why should try the ---"

In fact Darwin did not finish his long tirade. I do not know where the courage originally came from, unexpectedly and without calculation, suddenly Velove covered Darwin's lips in a deep kiss. Eliminate all readiness. Leaving a look of shock that was clearly etched on the handsome face of the man.

Even though he was surprised, for a moment Darwin chose to remain silent. Didn't refuse, didn't even reply. Just feel, how Velove kisses and gently bites his lips.

However, all that did not last long. In the end Darwin slowly replied and gradually began to compensate. Taking his hand, then cupped Velove's cheeks no less gently. Reply crushing and tasting all the flavors that arise.

For a few moments, the two seemed to be enjoying their first kiss. In fact, slowly Darwin led Velove to rest his head on the pillow that was right behind the woman.

Still in a state of biting each other, Velove brought his hands to gently rub Darwin's chest from the outside. When he was getting lulled, Velove tried to unbutton Darwin's pajamas.

Instead of giving up, in that second Darwin brushed aside Velove's hand. They separated their lips, then looked into the face of the woman in front of him.

"Don't go too far, Ve," shook Darwin, still in a state of racing breath. Velove could even see clearly how the man was repeatedly sighing. The look in his glazed eyes was hard to even guess.

"Why, Win? You really don't want to touch me?"

Darwin shook his head. Softly, the man replied slowly.

"Sorry... but I really can't do that."

Velove pursed her lips tightly. The embarrassment immediately hit him because he had clearly teased him earlier, and he even thought that Darwin would repay him for what he had done.

"Am I not worth more than your boyfriend?"

"Ve ... that's not what I meant. And, please. Don't talk about it, Vicky."

Annoyed by Darwin's response, which again refused, Velove then pushed Darwin's body away. Hastily got up, ready to go.

"Velove, where are you going?" hold Darwin when he sees his wife who is about to leave the room.

Velove looks cool. Instead of answering, he just continued walking out of the room. Slam the door hard. Then chose to go to the room he previously occupied. Don't forget to lock the door tightly. Even ignoring Darwin's knocks and calls. Her heart was too upset with what her husband had done tonight.
