Early Morning Sunlight

The rays of early morning sunlight filtered through the window of a tiny apartment and into an even tinier bedroom. Soft, quiet breathing filled the small room. Two figures laid on the bed in peaceful slumber, wrapped in fluffy, white blankets. Their limbs were tangled together.

Kyungsoo took a deep breath, eyes fluttering open. He squinted slightly, turning his head away from the early morning sunlight as it warmed his face. He turned to gaze upon the sleeping figure that laid beside him, still fast asleep. His girlfriend of two years now, Zhao Meilin, had her face pushed against the pillow, her dark locks falling across her face and onto the pillow.

The early morning sunlight grazed the edges of her face, casting an angelic glow around her. Her sharp features cast defined shadows over her face. Despite this, her face was relaxed. Here, in his arms, in the early hours of the morning, she seemed at complete peace. Her chest rose and fell slowly with each breath she took.

Kyungsoo gently moved her hair from her face, memorizing every feature on her face. His eyes traced over the curve of her brow, to the edge of her cheekbones. From her sharp nose, smooth jawline, and plump lips. Not as plump as his of course, but damn near close.

He brought a hand up to her face, gingerly running a finger along her features. She shifted slightly but didn't wake. He paused at her mouth, taking in the dip of her cupid's bow, the slight curl at the corners of her mouth, the faint cracks etched into her lips.

He let his eyes fall shut, reminiscing the feeling of her lips against his. The quick pecks they shared while she stood in the kitchen, preparing for work as he left in a hurry to get to the studio. The sweet, innocent kisses they shared on their private dates, usually in a small town or even a different country if time allowed it. The lingering kisses at her door right before he went away on tour, spending torturous months away from each other. Long make out sessions from his return, arms wrapped around each other as they re-explored their mouths. Hot, wet, frenzied kisses shared in the dark of night, their limbs a tangled mess as whispered praises filled each other's ears.

He smirked at the memory, dragging his bottom lip through his teeth. He opened his eyes again, staring down at her sleeping form with a darkened gaze, staring at her sleeping form, hidden beneath an unnecessary amount of blankets. He could picture her body perfectly, curled slightly from being held by him the night prior. He knew every dip and curve of her body. God knew how many nights he had spent memorizing everything about her.

He let his finger gently brush against her bottom lip, watching as it dipped slightly from the pressure of his thumb. Meilin slowly began to stir from her deep slumber. She scrunched her face, carefully opening one eye. The sun had shifted in the sky and now cast its rays over her face completely, warming her face. She slowly blinked both eyes open, inhaling deeply as she became aware of her surroundings. A soft smile graced her lips as her eyes met those of her handsome boyfriend.

"Good morning Baobei. What has you up so early?" she inquired, tucking her arm under her head. He smiled back, moving to rest his head in his hand.

"Just admiring your beauty, Jagiya," he replied, using his free hand to rub her side. She hummed, letting her eyes close briefly. He smiled down at her, letting the tips of his fingers ghost her sides. When she opened her eyes again, she was staring up at her boyfriend with an amused smirk.

"Promise me you aren't going Edward Cullen on me and watching me sleep." He rolled his eyes as he let out a soft chuckle, his deep voice reverberating off the bedroom walls. Meilin bit the inside of her cheek, quite enjoying the sound of Kyungsoo's deep, gravely voice this early in the morning.

"None of that. I promise," he assured her. He brought his hand up to her face, gently cupping it as he stroked her cheek with his thumb. "No, I was simply admiring my beautiful girlfriend in the early morning sunlight." She raised a brow, a smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth.
