“Wait—Wait. Are you two dating!?”
Jaehwan decided to literally scream and make every single person at the ball silent. His eyes went bigger than Occamy’s egg, and everyone started to gasp. Meanwhile the two men, Daniel Kang and Seongwoo Ong, just stood there, dumbfounded about the whole situation. They didn’t know where this conclusion had come from and why Jaehwan finally had a clue about their relationship.
“Oh, OH!” Now it was Jisung who realized what was happening. Jaehwan, still shocked, looked at both his boss and his friend.
“You’re dating him, is that right, Seongwoo?” Seongwoo coughed a little as he took a quick glance at Daniel, then looked at Jaehwan.
“Yes. I thought you knew?” Jaehwan seemed offended by the statement, that’s when Daniel intervened their confused gaze. He stepped closer to Seongwoo, but always a polite distance away, not once did he stand too close like what couples normally did. The Director confirmed with a much too formal tone of voice that made Jaehwan cringed.
“It’s true, Mr. Kim. Mr. Ong and I are in relationship, in fact, we’re recently married.” Seongwoo smiled at the man beside him—the smile looked extremely platonic, like when you smiled at a friend—however if you looked closely, it wasn’t. Then Seongwoo heard someone faint, and he rushed to Woojin who lay unconscious on the ground.
One thing Seongwoo knew since before he met Daniel in person: he was very popular among men and women. People somehow found a way to fall for him. The fact that The Director of Magical Security was taken, married even, to the British magizoologist was indeed ground-shaking news. Even more so when they all had no clue when, why, and how it happened.
“I thought Seongwoo and Jaehwan is dating!” Morris blurted out and many people seemed to agree with. Jaehwan shook his head and Seongwoo only smiled.
“We’re close friends, that’s all.” Jaehwan mumbled—oh, little did Seongwoo know, Jaehwan was quite disappointed.
Daniel didn’t care to answer questions about his personal life, so he asked his spouse if he wanted to eat something. Seongwoo thought it was a good idea to take a break as the attention he had gained in past 10 minutes was rather overwhelming; the raven-haired man led their way to the cocktail bar and grabbed some snacks. Every action of the couple was intensely observed by their colleagues inside the big hall. The MACUSA annual ball resumed its activities, but the big news of the director remained unforgotten.
“Is he lying? We know our boss can do pranks sometimes. Come on guys, look at them. No married couple look so distanced like that. They wear no rings, they don’t even touch each other!” Jisung observed and the others were quite convinced. Seeing their boss talk to other Directors while sipping on his champagne, didn’t even bother to look at the Brit who was now walking somewhere else with a pile of cranberry tart on a white plate.
“I see you with him, more than him with him. How on earth did they end up married?” Jisung pointed out more, looking at Jaehwan whose face fell a little.
“Yeah, I always thought Seongwoo kinda likes me actually. He’s proper, if you guys are curious, he didn’t do such a thing, but…yeah.” Jaehwan sighed and Loren patted his back.
“Jisung, you always look for explicit touchy things. Some couples don’t act like that in public, considering Boss is a super perfectionist and a professional, and Seongwoo is pretty much awkward. I don’t think we’ll see them hugging or hands touching and all that jazz.” Loren rolled her eyes and Jisung snorted.
“I know Boss is a perfectionist and all that, but look, if they want this to be a secret, then why didn’t they hesitate to admit they’re married. They do nothing, to be exact. Have anyone seen them alone, at the office? Outside? Home? No. Never.” Jaehwan frowned and now feeling a bit annoyed by Jisung random accuses.
“What do you expect to see them do, Jisung.” The dark-haired man raised his voice. His eyes followed the for-once-not-in-his-beige-coat magizoologist and saw he was sharing a cranberry tart with Minhyun. They seemed to have a lovely chat and Jaehwan wanted to join them as well.
“At least leaving early for a date? Maybe?”
“You can’t know everything, perhaps. They aren’t just like normal people after all. Stop thinking about it guys, we have things to do.” Loren ended the topic and dragged Morris to get more drinks. Jisung huffed since no one took his side, and he took a quick look at his boss, then Seongwoo, then kept his curiosity to himself.
Now that everyone knew it, everyone in the wizarding community was talking about the great news of the Director of Magical Security of MACUSA, one of the original twelve, had tied a knot with the famous author/magizoologist from England. The topic was there, and would be for the whole month. Everywhere they went, usually separated, people would ask about anything they could. Daniel was extremely annoyed, but Seongwoo found it amusing.
“We literally don’t look like couple, you know that.” Seongwoo shrugged when Daniel came in their bedroom one night, fussing over someone’s questions about his marriage.
“I know we don’t look like one, and I also think we don’t act like one, but why can’t they just let us be? I’m tired of answering the same questions over and over.” He wandlessly took off his coat and scarf, put them on the hanger as he sat at the end of the bed.
“They’ll stop when they don’t have much juicy gossip.” Seongwoo chuckled as he climbed across their king size bed to Daniel, and showed him the manuscript of his second book. In this volume Seongwoo intended to write more about global laws on magical creatures, so Daniel did take part in helping him with information and explanations.
After Daniel was done helping Seongwoo with his book, he went to shower. When he was ready for bed, Seongwoo was down in his case, working on his book and his usual night routine. They never waited for each other to come to bed—if they had time to sleep, they took it as much as they could. They did what they needed to do, and they didn’t call it ignorant, that’s how their relationship worked.
They were the most compatible couple in every aspect, to begin with. They were powerful, strong wizards. Kang was a wealthy household in America, and Ong was no less in England. They were brave just as much; Seongwoo was fearless when it came to protecting what or whom he loved, and Daniel was the most loyal man one could ever met, that he’d do anything to protect that he believed in. They weren’t attention seekers, and they didn’t crave for physical contact—Daniel wasn’t sensitive enough to care much about such a thing, and Seongwoo was comfortable like this, to have a little more personal space.
Seongwoo remembered the first time Dongho, his older brother, knew they were dating; He raised his eyebrows, and asked how? Daniel met Dongho since Ilvermony was the host of the annual international wizarding school party, both of them were in their senior year. Dongho came home with a new friendship with one of The Original Twelve descendants, and they were best friends since. Daniel never visited their house, neither did Dongho visit Kang’s because they were working hard for auror training. When they both became aurors, they worked even harder for their government and never had time for even a short vacation.
Ten years later Seongwoo also attended the annual international wizarding school party, held in New York just like the time his brother went, and he met Daniel for the first time. Dongho insisted Seongwoo should meet the man, as his best friend from America, and the best auror who was more than happy to help if Seongwoo needed something. It was awkward because the young wizard didn’t know how to befriend an honorable man, who was 10 years older than himself like Daniel Kang.
With Daniel’s kindness, they became friends in no time. Then became best friends, who helped each other with everything. Seongwoo had his problems to rely on Daniel more, and the man just kindly led him through everything. Once Seongwoo realized, they became lovers. Accordingly, his honest reply to Dongho’ question was a short simple sentence, ‘I have no idea either.’.
Dongho was confused, and so was Seongwoo.
It wasn’t something romantic like muggle’s love stories, not even close. Seongwoo had stayed over at Daniel’s apartment, when he was in America to study creatures and he ended up broke and seriously injured. Daniel never complained but Seongwoo felt a little guilty nonetheless. He insisted in paying back for what Daniel did for him, the nice warm bed to stay in for 5 months, delicious 3 meals a day, and such a nice company.
“I’m glad that we met, really.” Seongwoo said, breaking the silence of the living room. Daniel, who was the Deputy Director and was writing a report at the moment, looked up to meet Seongwoo’s honey-brown eyes. The man only smiled with all the warmth in his warm-shade-of-grey eyes, and Seongwoo thought he was fine—no, he wanted to live like this—with Daniel.
It wasn’t because of the fine life he got during his stay here, but the man who had been his best friends for years made him felt...contented, in a way he’d never felt for anyone else. The contentment that was different from what he experienced in the wild with those wondrous creatures. He couldn’t quite define the feeling yet, but all he could summarize was that he wanted them to be like this forever.
“I am as well. I’ve always wanted to talk to you about it, if you let me.” His voice was as calm was as always, but after years of knowing each other, Seongwoo could tell Daniel was nervous about something. He always sounded so formal, like he was at work with his colleagues, not that it bothered him.
“About what? You could talk to me about everything, you know that, right?” The older man hesitated for a second, but he took a deep breath and said confidently.
“I think I love you.”
“Oh.”
“I have been attracted to you, for years, and I think maybe…you feel the same.” Daniel’s voice lowered as Seongwoo abruptly got up on his feet, hand covered his mouth in disbelief. His honey brown eyes locked with Daniel’s dark one.
Right, it was this feeling.
“It’s fine if you like someone else. We can pretend this conversation never happened.” Seongwoo shook his head, though he didn’t smile so wide like he thought he would, but inside he was screaming and his heart was throbbing with joy. He finally knew why people always talked about love, and the way it made you feel, because he was so happy to hear Daniel’s confession.
“I…I like you too, I mean, I don’t know exactly what love is, or how the dating things work, but…” Seongwoo rambled and his hands were shaking like crazy. Daniel walked toward his direction, to stop in front of Seongwoo, and for the first time he held Seongwoo’s hands. He was oh-so-gentle and polite as usual; He didn’t come closer than he usually was with Seongwoo, but his hands were nice and assuring.
“I don’t know either, but I want to be with you.” Daniel whispered, eyes cast down to their joined hands.
“Like this?” Seongwoo squeezed their hands a little tighter.
“Like this.” He squeezed back, and they just stayed like this in silence for a while.
Because Daniel was just the same as the first day they met, when they were dating it didn’t change a thing. They talked about everything and anything, maybe opened up about their feelings a bit more. They still ate at home, and rarely ate out. They still slept in separate room. They barely touched each other, the most they did was to hold hands for comfort.
Daniel didn’t say anything when Seongwoo told him he was leaving to begin new adventure; he would go far, far away, and would not come back to New York for a year. Daniel didn’t seem sad, but he gave Seongwoo a special charmed pocket note—it was linked with its pair, and when Seongwoo wrote messages, it would appear on Daniel’s and disappeared once he read it. He said he wanted their own way to communicate, and an owl was too slow in case anything bad happened to Seongwoo.
Seongwoo wasn’t sure if Daniel was feeling anything about Seongwoo’s departure. He was curious all night before his departure because Daniel never talked about it—they never talked about how much they care, or love each other. Seongwoo was certain about Daniel, but sometimes he doubted it just like any other person who was in love. However, the next morning when Seongwoo was ready to leave, Daniel stood closer than he usually was; the older man started touching his elbow, then finally decided to pull him into a loose hug, which turned to tight hug as Seongwoo hugged back. Daniel let out a grumble, telling him to take care and have fun, while looked the sulkiest Seongwoo had ever seen him.
Seongwoo wasn’t a man who cried easily, but he did sniff a bit because he was going to miss this sulky grumpy old man so badly. As the younger one, Seongwoo decided to be impulsive and kissed him for the first time of their long relationship. He finally knew the magic of the kiss with your loved one. It was amazing, so amazing that Seongwoo kept thinking about the kiss all the way to his destination, and all the way back to New York a year later.
After Seongwoo came back to New York, Daniel was promoted to be The Director of Magical Security of MACUSA. As much as he missed Seongwoo, his work was overloaded and he always spent long nights in his office. Seongwoo understood and he spent more time with Jaehwan and Minhyun. Seongwoo liked staying with them, and he liked going out with Jaehwan so much that people started to joke around that they were kind of seeing each other. It wasn’t serious, so Seongwoo wasn’t going to do anything about it. He cared about Jaehwan’s feeling more than anything else. Minhyun—as a legilimen—despite knowing everything from the beginning from playing around inside Seongwoo’s head, didn’t say a thing either.
He was dedicated to the manuscript of his first book, just like Daniel who was dedicated to protecting New York. They met at home, and now couldn’t sleep in separate room anymore. They hadn’t kissed since the day Seongwoo came back, and this time he was desperate for it. Seongwoo wanted to enjoy that feeling again, and he knew Daniel was thinking the same but never voiced out his need.
That night, Seongwoo waited for his boyfriend to come home, and hugged him on their shared bed. Normally, they would lay side by side with a comfortable space between them. If the day was difficult and Seongwoo was feeling exhausted, or Daniel was in need of a bit of physical support; they would hold hand under the blanket, or Seongwoo would snuggled closer in his sleep and hugged Daniel’s arm, head resting against his shoulder. They weren’t great cuddlers, but tonight Seongwoo was basically big spooning Daniel.
“I’m sorry, I never thought being a director is going to be this much paperwork.” Daniel chuckled lightly as he turned his body to face the younger wizard, draped his arm over and caressed Seongwoo’s back.
“By the time I get home, you’re in bed already so we don’t have a chance to talk. How was your adventure?” Seongwoo hummed as a reply as he scooted closer against Daniel’s warm solid body. Instead of telling stories, Seongwoo kissed him sweetly and asked if he was tired at all.
Daniel was literally melting at Seongwoo’s touch, and he didn’t answer because he thought Seongwoo knew if he was tired or not. They kissed again, and again, pouring their feelings of a year of loneliness, a year of being apart into their kisses. Things became more intense than Seongwoo had planned, and led to another level of love expression. They touched more than they used to a whole year combined—it was passionate yet so sweet, and Seongwoo loved every single moment of it.
They never talked about it, but it was a mutual agreement that they would have sex again. They kept their secret promise and occasionally did it when they weren’t drained from work. Although the amount of sex they had in a month was so small that people would laugh at it, but for them, it was perfect like this. They supported each other in every way, more than just physical needs, and that was all they would ask for.
Daniel was still the same man—who talked so politely to his boyfriend, and stayed so professional at work and at home—even when he proposed the idea of marriage a couple of years later. It was Daniel’s first Friday night in three months that he left office early, so they went out to a fancy restaurant for a nice dinner date. Then they went to sit by a small lake inside the Central Park, the spring wind was absolutely refreshing, the moon was round and glowing; With Daniel here, Seongwoo wouldn’t ask for anything else.
“Seongwoo,” Daniel interrupted the silence of the night. His voice sounded nervous and Seongwoo could always detect it. He turned toward the older man and gave him encouraging smile.
“It’s…you’re 27 this year, and I am wondering if you think about having a family of your own?” Seongwoo raised his eyebrows because never once had Daniel talked about creating a family. He thought about the answer for a mere second.
“Sometimes, but with my work and all, I don’t know? It’d be nice to have kids, don’t you think?” Daniel flustered and averted his eyes.
“Yes, it would. What I mean is,” He stepped closer, but didn’t touch Seongwoo like he would if they were at home.
“What do you think if we’re married, properly, legally?”
Seongwoo brown eyes widened because this was definitely a surprise. His soft face was suddenly full of big grin, and Daniel’s heart melted at the sight of his beautiful boyfriend before him.
So they were married, a couple month later, at Ong’s house with only family to bear witness to their love. Seongwoo felt sad he didn’t tell Jaehwan and Minhyun, but time flew and he forgot about it in the end. Until the annual ball that year that Jaehwan saw them coming to the party together, and the bow-tie Seongwoo was wearing, was a gift Daniel asked him to buy it for him as a favour. He said he would give it to someone to wear to this event. That was when it clicked for him, that Daniel and Seongwoo were somehow closer than everyone realized.
The next day Jaehwan asked him about it, so he told him everything before he heard weird rumors from someone else. He confirmed that they were happily married, and what they saw at work applied at home as well, but of course the affectionate actions were always in private. Jaehwan was confused, but trusted Seongwoo that he was happy, extremely happy with everything.
‘I have free time this evening. Do you want to eat out at that pizza place?’ Daniel wrote down onto Seongwoo and his linked charm pocket note.
‘Pizza sounds nice, but I’m pretty lazy today. Can we take out that pizza and go home early?’ Seongwoo, who was in his own office, wrote back and the black ink vanished after Daniel read it.
‘Anything is fine with me. Let’s meet there in 15 minutes? I’m leaving now.’ The message showed. The director quickly walked out of the Woolworth building and no one dared to hold him back for more reports; their boss deserves a well rested night.
“This is why we’ve never seen you two talk.” Jaehwan snooped from behind. Seongwoo looked up and nodded lightly.
“It’s more convenient this way, as you see we don’t have much free time to walk around just to ask about dinner.” Jaehwan giggled and agreed with him.
“He’s so busy, I would never want to be the director if it means doing all the paperwork like he does now.” Seongwoo snorted and gathered his stuffs, readied to leave.
“It’s not like you don’t go out there risking your life every day. It’s same.” Seongwoo grinned and bid Jaehwan goodbye. The raven-haired man met his husband at the pizza place in 15 minutes sharp, by then their pizza was served so they just walked leisurely back home together.
They lazily laid down against the hay inside Seongwoo’s case and ate their favorite pizza; pepperoni for Seongwoo and tomato and black olive for Daniel. Niffler came to join them on Daniel’s lap, trying to steal his silver cuff links.
Seongwoo got lazier after his stomach full with bread and cheese, and Daniel was in the mood for indulgence so they ended up on the hammock, just to lay down side by side. For once they enjoyed the warmth of the body, and the absence of space between them. Daniel let Seongwoo used his upper arm as a pillow, while he could bend that arm a little to caressed Seongwoo’s soft hair. Seongwoo waved his wand to the turntable and their favourite song was playing. Niffler was long gone somewhere and now Dougal came to check on them.
“This is nice, by the way” Seongwoo said as he adjusted his lithe body to fit better against Daniel’s bulkier one. The older man hummed and looked down in sync with Seongwoo looking up.
“What’s nice?” There’s a teasing note in Daniel’s voice and Seongwoo’s lips crooked into a smile.
“Be free for a while, not thinking about work, or criminals. And you look peaceful, I like that. Not that I don’t like grumpy you, but yeah.” Daniel chuckled and couldn’t help but leaned forward to kiss Seongwoo gently on the lips. The younger man melted right away. Seongwoo presses back and opened his mouth, welcoming the more of it.
Daniel adjusted their position a little so he could kiss Seongwoo without straining his neck, and he could play with Seongwoo’s soft hair as much as he wished. They pulled back for a breath, and Daniel showered Seongwoo’s soft face with soft kisses. Seongwoo giggled and tilted his head to meet Daniel’s lips again. He pecked Daniel’s lips in playful childish kisses, hands slid down to rest on the firm chest.
“I…we don’t do this often, but, I love you, you know?” Seongwoo smiled, so beautifully, and Daniel thought he fell in love with Seongwoo over and over again, maybe forever.
“I know. I love you too, very much.” He felt fluttering bubbly feeling in his chest as he thumbed across Seongwoo’s cheek and the man looked back with much affection. His eyes crinkled and there’s slight rosy colour tainted his cheek.
“I love you more.” Seongwoo teased, pulling the older man back for a nice languid kiss.
“Alright.” Daniel laughed at Seongwoo. They kept kissing until the song stopped playing, though no one cared because kissing each other was the best feeling in the world. Today was such a special day that they kept saying how much they love each other. Seongwoo wouldn’t be able to forget the sound of Daniel whispering against his ear telling how much he loved him, and he wouldn’t let the older man win over this: he loved Daniel more, he was sure.
Daniel needed to remind himself how stubborn Seongwoo was at this. He would let Seongwoo love him more every time they do this nonetheless, though he loved him more. He had, since the first month they met, but Seongwoo didn’t need to know that. The days ahead were more important, so he had to make sure that Seongwoo knew he loved him no less.
He was still the same man as the first day they met. He was the friend, the lover, the soulmate—anything Seongwoo allowed him to be.
