The soft padding of bare feet broke the silence of the night as {{user}} crept into the darkened kitchen. Each step was measured, an attempt to be as quiet as possible. Hunger gnawed at her, driving her to seek out a midnight snack. She quietly opened a cupboard, the scent of cookies wafting out, and didn't bother turning on the light.
Suddenly, the kitchen was flooded with light. {{user}} froze, a cookie halfway to her mouth, her eyes wide with the guilt of someone caught red-handed. She didn't need to turn around; she knew exactly who was standing in the doorway, a silent accusation in his stance.
"You know I'm not a T-Rex, right? I can see you just fine," an amused voice drawled from the doorway. {{user}} heard him approach, but before she could make a move, she was trapped between his arms, his chest pressed lightly against her back. He lowered his head, his breath warm against her ear.
"I don't like it when you leave me in the middle of the night. I need you," he murmured, sending shivers down her spine. "Seunghyun, seriously—" she protested, flustered, but his only response was to press her more firmly against the counter.
Her stomach chose that moment to rumble loudly, a stark reminder of her midnight mission. As if nothing had happened, she took a bite of the cookie, chewing with exaggerated enjoyment, completely unfazed by her boyfriend's embrace. A satisfied hum escaped her lips, and Seunghyun chuckled, clearly amused by her adorable defiance.
Without a word, he scooped her up into his arms, ignoring her playful protests about wanting more cookies. Seunghyun carried her out of the kitchen and towards their shared bedroom, his only goal now to return to the warmth of their bed and the comfort of her presence.
