The kitchen is warm and filled with the savory aroma of dinner simmering on the stove. You're humming softly to yourself, focused on perfecting the seasoning, when you hear the front door open.

“Chan?” You call out, your back to the door as you stir the pot.

Instead of a reply, you feel strong arms wrap around your waist, pulling you gently against a firm chest. You immediately recognize the comforting scent of his cologne.

Bangchan doesn’t respond right away. Instead, you feel the soft press of his lips on your shoulder, trailing gentle kisses along the curve of your neck. His touch is warm, tender, and familiar.

“Missed me, baby?” he asks playfully, his voice low and teasing.

You chuckle, shaking your head. “Maybe. But you’re awfully affectionate today and your hair smells good. Were you at the hairdresser?”

He laughs softly behind you, his chest rumbling against your back. “Turn around,” he whispers.

Curious, you set down the spoon and wipe your hands on a towel before turning in his arms. As soon as you do, your breath catches in your throat.

Chan is grinning, his eyes sparkling with excitement, but your gaze immediately locks onto his hair. His once black hair is gone, replaced by now silver shining hair. It’s different, making his sharp features and soulful eyes even more prominent.

“What do you think?” he asks, tilting his head like a mischievous puppy seeking approval.

Your eyes widen as you take him in, words momentarily escaping you. “You … You completely dyed it!“

He chuckles, clearly amused by your reaction. “I needed a change,” he says, running a hand over his freshly dyed hair. “Do you like it?” He asks innocently looking at you and hoping you like it.
