Kind of inspired by a Kdrama I just finished called Tomorrow With You. God, it made me so emotional.


"So tell me, what's our future like?"


"It's so hard to wrap my head around it." Fine said, sprawled out on the couch. "You're joking right?" She sat upright, staring at Bright who seemed to be prepping some food in the kitchen. He looked at her and chuckled.

"Am I?" He teased, his smile never fading.

"You're lying!" She said with a pout. Then her eyes wandered over to a strange device. She picked it up and studied it in her hands. "But what else could explain this?" Fine mumbled to herself. Bright wrapped his arms around her, almost causing her to drop the strange device. He took her hand, and with his other hand took the device and placed it on the coffee table. Quietly, he walked around to face her on the couch, his smile never wavering.

Fine could never tell what he was thinking. Even after getting married, Bright felt like a complete mystery. Even now, he was smiling so kindly, not a hint of annoyance or anger on his face despite Fine's doubtful attitude. He had told her something she could never believe in her lifetime. She knew he was hiding something.

He had suspicious things all over his house that she had never seen before. He always seemed to know when something was going to happen before it actually happened. Sometimes, he would even be gone all night. Even when Fine poked and prodded, he kept silent. She grew upset. So very upset.

She wanted to understand him.

"I would never lie to you." He said, squeezing her hands in his. Fine couldn't stop the blush from appearing on her face and she reflexively looked down. He chuckled, released her hands, kissed her head, and returned to the kitchen to finish prepping the food.

"If I wasn't married to you, I would call you crazy, you know?" Fine said, staring at her hands. "A time traveler of all things. Maybe it would've been better if you were some secret agent for the government." Another chuckle escaped him and Fine heard him turn off the air vent. She wanted to understand him, but this was more than she thought.

"Dinner's ready." He said. Fine got up from the couch and sat across from him. She snuck glances at him as he brought the food from the kitchen.

"But why tell me now? You kept it from me for so long." Fine questioned when he was seated. So many questions were racing through her head. He looked at her, and Fine could see guilt in his eyes.

"I know that when I'm in the future, phone calls or texts from the present don't reach me." Bright said as his eyes fell to the food in front of him. His face was expressionless. "Returning back to the present and seeing all your phone calls and texts, coming home to see you sleeping on the couch worried from me being out all night..." He looked up at Fine, his expression full of guilt. "I hated seeing you like that. I'm sorry." Fine felt her heart clench, but she didn't say anything. "Before I knew it, the distance between us grew. I... wanted to close that."

Fine noticed that Bright kept his head down, his eyes focused on his untouched food. She couldn't help but smile as she intertwined her fingers in his, causing him to look up in surprise. "I was wondering why you were being so good to me recently. You even offered to cook dinner tonight." Fine softly responded. She stared at their intertwined hands. "You're so sweet." She squeezed his hand once again before grabbing her own silverware and digging in. "This is so refreshing! Eating food cooked by my husband!" Fine happily dug in.

"Thank you." He said, almost a whisper. Fine didn't reply.

Fine was the first to finish. She let out an audible gasp when she put her silverware down. "Is that why I sometimes came home to fresh fruit that normally isn't available this season? Or why you'd give me flowers that aren't in bloom in winter?" Fine said, her hands covering her mouth. "Even the sweets! You've brought home brands I never heard of before!" Fine stood up from her seat, the realization hitting her like a rock in the head. She saw Bright smile as he stood up to put the plates away.

"There's nothing I wouldn't get for you, Fine." He said. When he turned around, Fine felt her eyes fill with relieved tears. His words got rid of all of Fine's insecurities about whether he was cheating or in danger.

He trusted her. He loved her.

She wiped her tears, suddenly overwhelmed with joy. When Bright stepped out of the kitchen, Fine practically pounced on him. Of course, he caught her and swung her around using the momentum.

"So tell me, what's our future like?" Fine asked, looking up at him. "Are we still together? Are we happy?" Fine tightened her koala hug around him at the thought that this marriage wouldn't work out. He just gave her a quick peck before nuzzling her forehead.

"The happiest we could ever be."
