You had never kept a secret from your husband before. He was way too good at figuring them out if you tried, and he would also bribe you with gifts until you finally spilled. It was hard to keep a secret from someone so handsome, and everytime you tried, you eventually felt guilty about it.

So, it was no surprise that he figured out you were pregnant before you could even tell him yourself. Maybe your cravings had been a little too weird to dismiss, but you had thought you were doing well hiding everything. That thought was destroyed when at breakfast, Taemoo had asked you with a completely straight face how far along you were.

You had really really wanted to surprise him. It was the start of your family with him, and a monumental moment in both of your lives. Since the pregnancy surprise went down the drain, you decided that you would go all out on the gender reveal. Taemoo deserved a surprise, and you knew he was eager to find out so he could start buying clothes and toys and all the other cute, completely unnecessary, and absurdly expensive baby things he could find.

The man had money to spend.

Your doctor had called you while you were relaxing on the couch next to your husband, catching up on morning cuddles before he had to leave for work. He knew it was the call to tell you the gender of the baby immediately. He tried hard to hear what the doctor was telling you until you had to lean away from him out of fear. As soon as you hung up, he had you back in his arms, though.

“So? Boy or girl?” He asked excitedly.

“As if I would tell you immediately.” You giggled, feeling somehow superior now that you knew something he didn’t. He gasped once he realised that you were completely serious in keeping it from him and were determined to not spill.

“Sweetheart, what if I made you buldok? I know you’ve been craving spicy foods. Would you tell me then?” He gave you a sweet smile, hugging you a little closer, eyes shining, begging you to give in. Bribery. It was always his first tactic.

“Hm… I don’t think that will be enough? I’ve already planned for a gender reveal party with the help of Sunghoon. I think you’d rather find out then.” You said teasingly.

“You think I would rather find out then? You mean you would rather tell me then.” He sighed, releasing you from his arms in a swift movement.

“Hey, hey-” You pushed yourself against his chest again, “Just because I won’t tell you doesn’t mean you can slack off on cuddle duty.” You mumbled, pulling his hands to wrap around you again. 

He smiled, “Alright. Just because my wife is so cute, hm?” You smiled up at him, leaning in to give a quick kiss to his lips. He sighed in content. There wasn’t any better way to start the morning than this.

//

You knew how cruel you were being to your husband. He reminded you of it daily with big pouts and pleading to at least give him a hint. You told him that he could wait two days for the party. That hardly stopped his attempts to get you to tell him, though.

Today was the day of the party, and Taemoo seemed to be in an especially happy mood because of it. He always liked to pamper you, but he was really outdoing himself this morning. He prepared a warm bath for you and made you a fancy breakfast (he never let the cooking skills go to waste), he even picked your outfit for you because he knew how often you stressed over how you looked.

Sunghoon had already made sure everything was set up by the time you and Taemoo arrived. A nice outdoor party, nothing too fancy, but still elegant and happy. You would let your husband cut a cake to find out the gender, since you thought it was a cute way to find out, plus all the guests could enjoy the cake afterwards.

“Are you ready to find out?” You asked him, pulling him to a secluded side of the garden, away from the prying guests who were eager to find out more about the new baby of Go Food’s CEO.

“I’ve been ready for weeks.” He pointed out, slipping his arms around your waist, hand resting on your little bump, just starting to show. Taemoo thought it was one of the cutest things on earth.

“The guests are also impatient. Go cut the cake.” You urged him with a laugh. 

After a quick and impromptu speech to the party guests, you handed Taemoo a cake knife and the guests clapped in anticipation. Taemoo was sure he had never been this nervous in his entire life. The knife glided through the layers of delicate frosting and soft crumb, carefully taking one piece out, the colour inside was pink.

Taemoo grinned at you, laughter soon creeping up on him from how happy he was. He was getting a baby girl— another princess in the house that he could pamper and spoil as much as he wanted. It was more than he could ever ask for.

He grabbed your wrist to pull you closer for a kiss, pouring so much love into it that it made your heart flutter. His hand held your waist gently, pulling you even closer to him, thanking you for being the best thing to ever happen to him. He loved you earnestly, and he would never stop.

[savethelastdan]

honestly, one of the most refreshing things about Taemoo and Sunghoon in Business Proposal - 

they each had a scene where their female love interest is in a potentially embarrassing situation (Hari with the dress splitting and Youngseo with the locked bathroom)

and they respond by immediately doing what they can to help and protect them from further embarrassment, with zero judgment for how they ended up in the situation in the first place. 

and it just makes me realize how often romantic comedies revel in humiliating their characters, especially female characters who want their love interests to see them as attractive and desirable.

it was so, so nice to see male leads not only help their love interests out of an embarrassing situation, but also not treat it like a big deal.

maybe love is when a guy breaks the door to a public bathroom down, and not so much when he chases your creepy neighbor

maybe it’s not about buying the expensive dress, but standing behind you to hide the fact that you ripped it

love vulnerability control honor respect commitment responsibility

you know what i’m saying?

Business proposal 사내맞선

Review and rambles

3. Business Proposal (8/10)

(12 episodes) (2022)

[Ahn Hyo-seop, Kim Se-jeong, Kim Min-kyu, Seol In-ah] 

Synopsis: 

The series follows Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jeong) as she goes on another blind date in place of her best friend Jin Young-seo (Seol In-ah). The girls have hatched up a plan in which Shin Ha-ri goes on blind dates that Young -seo’s father sets up for her in order to get rejected by them. She does this by going all out crazy on these poor dates. However this plan goes horribly wrong when the latest blind date is Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop), who turns out to be Shin Har-ri’s boss. Kang Tae-moo is being pressured into getting married and despite Shin Ha-ri’s best attempts to get him to reject her, he decides to marry his blind date so he can avoid going on further dates. Chaos and comedy ensues as, Kang Tae-moo and Shin Ha-ri (using a fake identity) begin dating. It all comes to a head when Kang Tae-moo finally discover who she is but its almost too late and he is already very much in love with her. 

Review: 

The relationship between the best friends in this show is so wholesome. They’re funny and messy and so chaotic it’s absolutely relatable. Shin Ha-ri and Young-seo are absolute goals. They’re both head strong women trying so hard to be independent and successful but also secretly wish to be wooed (a secret I think most of us share these days). 

The main couple themselves (Kang Tae Moo and Shin Ha-ri) are so sweet. While Kang Tae Moo might start off as the typical cold-hearted mean spirited boss, it doesn’t last all too long as he opens himself up in a way that is both endearing and funny. The series presents plenty of wonderfully light-hearted moments intermingled with drama. Shin Ha-ri’s family dynamic is realistic and its what makes her so likeable as a main lead. She has an embarrassingly loud but loveable mother and a brother who is simultaneously always there and yet never around when needed. Kim Se – jeong does a remarkable job of portraying Shin Ha-ri, as she is sometimes clumsy and awkward around Kang Tae Moo but somehow it’s never cringey. A defining moment for me in the series was that at some point both female characters found themselves in an embarrassing situation and both male leads stepped up to help without blinking an eye. More over the fact, once it was over, they didn’t speak about it again. They made it so the girls were allowed to keep there dignity. Many shows would not have given them such a courtesy. The show is filled with moments where the characters learn to lean on each other – a particularly endearing episode sees Shin Ha-Ri realising one of Kang Tae Moo’s fears and subtly helping him through it. She’s rather masterful in how she does it and you can’t help but love her for it. It’s sweet and one hell of a green flag moment. 

An important point to note (for me at least), is that unlike in What’s wrong with Secretary Kim, the female lead here does not sacrifice her own ambitions for the male lead. Shin Ha-Ri’s an ambitious and exceptionally smart woman and in both cases (Shin Ha-ri and Jin Young-seo) they follow through with their own goals. It’s hearty and wholesome and a completely perfect comfort show. It does not disappoint in the romance or drama genre. I only wished it was longer. 12 episodes didn’t feel like it was enough for these characters and I would have loved to see more of Shin Ha-Ri and the grandfather bonding towards the end. Another time jump last episode but it wasn’t as painful as you’d think. 

The cast and performance: 

Ahn Hyo-seop and Kim Se-jeong give a brilliant performance as the main leads in this drama. But if you’ve been following this drama you might have heard about the secondary leads, Seol In-ah and Kim Min-kyu who basically steal the show at every turn. The actors delivered so well on the comedy and managed to balance it out well with the romance and drama. It was an all round brilliant performance. 

OST: 

Another great rom-com with an amazing soundtrack to match. 

Final thoughts: 

I personally loved with office romance over What’s wrong with secretary Kim? But that’s my own preference. There is plenty to love in this drama. Its sincere, heartfelt comedy that will melt your heart. It’s got some brilliant characters with great depth and the relationships in this are all top tier. From Shin Ha-ri’s relationships with Young-seo, to that she shares with her family and Kang Tae-moo, it will leave you wanting more. As I said 12 episodes was just not enough.

red lips and rosy cheeks

Their faces were inches away now, and Hari couldn’t help but notice the way his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. “Oh, really? Well, we can’t have the love of my life being confused about our special activity. You know, she’s quite precious to me.”

She winked. “She’s probably really pretty, isn’t she?”

“Prettier than me, that’s for sure,” he said smoothly and captured her lips with his.

or: taemoo sneaks out to see hari in the middle of the night.

hatae, 1.1k words, written for @eggothemusicalwaffle and i's tayriana songfic challenge! inspired by our song by @taylorswift, also on ao3.

notes:

hi friends (✿◠‿◠) welcome back to my tayriana songfic challenge : hatae’s version !! 

if you’re new — which i assume u are, unless u are also in the ml fandom haha — hi i’m shri !!! i love fluff and cute adorable wholesome moments so that’s mainly what i write <33

essentially a quick rundown of this challenge: i'm writing a songfic for one song from each of taylor & ariana’s albums!! i’ve already posted one for you belong with me, my song for fearless tv, and it’s a childhood friends high school au !! so if that’s something you’re interested in, i’ll link here :)

the song this songfic is for is from debut: our song !! it focuses on hari & taemoo’s secret relationship and has some minor changes so that it’s more convenient for the plot i had planned out XD. i made it so that hari got her own apartment after she got a job at gofood & her parents aren’t in serious debt anymore (as in she can afford her own place fine and her parents are holding up perfectly fine! as they should). taemoo still lives with dagoo like canon suggests, so if you’re wondering if that’s the same, it is.

enjoy :)

our song is the slamming screen door

sneakin' out late, tapping on your window

“Ba-Taemoo? What are you doing here?” Her cheeks burned at the way his lips curved up into a smirk — he most definitely caught onto her slip up — and whispered, “It’s past midnight. I thought you were staying with your grandfather- mmf!”

Taemoo lightly pressed his index finger against her lips, carefully pushing them back into the apartment before looking into her eyes. “I missed you,” he said with a nonchalant shrug, kicking the front door shut simultaneously. “Grandfather has been bothering me about the blind dates all night so I excused myself for the night and snuck out to see you.”

Hari was sure her skin was at least two shades of pink darker. Maybe strawberry red even. “You risked getting caught — in trouble — for me?” His cheeks seemed to take a light red tint, and Hari couldn’t help but pout and wrap her arms around him. The smile on her face grew as he squeezed her back, resting his head on top of hers. It was like he was a giant teddy bear and she was so small in comparison.

She loved that feeling more than anything else, really, but she’d never admit that to him.

“I did,” he admitted and pressed a gentle kiss onto her forehead. “Like I said, I missed you.”

Hari grinned and tugged him towards the kitchen. Sometimes, she wished he weren’t rich and famous and they could have genuine dates in public without being scared of blowing their cover, but nothing could beat the sight of Taemoo — her boyfriend! — searching for a bag of popcorn with a confused expression. She found it adorable how his lips pushed out slightly and his eyebrows knit together when he couldn’t figure something out.

She giggled softly as he opened what was probably the fifteenth drawer. “You would think after dating me for awhile you would know your way around here,” she said in a teasing tone as she went on her tippy toes to open a cabinet. “It’s in, uh, that one,” she said with a groan.

Curse her short genes.

She heard Taemoo chuckle from behind her and couldn’t help but flush again, heat rushing to her cheeks. Was it getting hot in here?

“No, the air conditioning’s on.”

Oh. Her skin felt like it was burning now, and Hari was sure her skin was just as red as the bag the popcorn was in. “Did I say that out loud?”

Taemoo smirked. “Do you need a lift?”

She took that as a yes. “Perhaps. What do you think, Mister Knight in shining armor?” Hari booped his nose gently and held back the urge to coo gently at the way his eyes crossed to look at her finger. 

What she didn’t expect was for him to lift her up with one arm, open the cabinet with the other, grab the paper-like bag of popcorn — she had made it earlier in the day, thankfully — and run towards her bedroom. She would’ve lied if she said it hadn’t been slightly exhilarating, especially when he dropped her onto the comfy cushioning of her bed without any warning. 

His hands framed her in a sense, resting on both sides of her head, and her breath caught in her throat as their eyes locked. This man was so, so, so beautiful, and Hari really was in denial that he was all hers — strings attached. There was no way she was that lucky. 

“You know,” his deep voice cut her out of her mini daydream, “I think we could do something.. else, rather than watch a movie.”

The corner of her smile lifted up and she couldn’t help the flirty tone that laced her words. “Oh yeah? What something else?” She dragged her hand down his button up, kissing away the small droplet of sweat falling down his forehead. “I think I need a more in depth explanation.”

Their faces were inches away now, and Hari couldn’t help but notice the way his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. “Oh, really? Well, we can’t have the love of my life being confused about our special activity. You know, she’s quite precious to me.”

She winked. “She’s probably really pretty, isn’t she?”

“Prettier than me, that’s for sure,” he said smoothly and captured her lips with his. His lips were soft — as they always were — and sweet. They tasted subtly like espresso and vanilla, and Hari couldn’t resist the urge to kiss him over and over again. They fit perfectly, like two pieces of a puzzle, and she loved that more than she could express in words. There were not enough words in any language to express the love she felt for him.

As they pulled away briefly, Hari couldn’t help but gasp. “Y-Your.. your lips-”

Taemoo brushed his thumb against his bottom lip and a red tint appeared on his skin. His eyes flickered to Hari’s lips — lipstick all smeared on her lips — and smirked. “Could you get the lipstick you used today, baby?”

Her cheeks felt almost feverish at the nickname — she honestly had liked it when he had called her that constantly when pretending to be her boyfriend — but held herself together as she nodded and got up to retrieve it. The tube was standing upright near her sink and she handed it to him. 

She, however, did not expect for him to open the tube, gently cup her face, and apply the lipstick to her lips again. She was sure the pigment of the makeup matched her skin in the moment, but she couldn’t bring herself to care. He tapped the side of his cheek with a small smile and she grinned, planting a kiss onto his cheek.

“Now everyone will know who owns my heart,” he said proudly, and Hari couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head,

He was so cute.

“What if it washes off before work tomorrow?” She asked genuinely. Lipstick prints didn’t last that long, right?

“Then you’ll kiss me again, perhaps on the lips this time?” He wiggled his eyebrows, and Hari’s heart skipped a beat at how carefree he was. 

“Of course, of course,” she said honestly, a big smile on her face as she wrapped her arms and legs around him. “What color?”

“Red.” 

And, as promised, Kang Taemoo walked into GoFood the next day proudly, with a red lipstick kiss mark on his right cheek.
