My Girlfriend's Roommate (slow updates)

Chapter 10

Namjoon felt a light shake on his shoulder causing him to stir awake. The room is still dark. It couldn't have been no later than 4 am at this point, he thought. 

The room is uncharacteristically warm for the season. The November/ Fall season usually brings cooler temperatures, especially in the evening so having his dorm room feel like a mid-summer night left Namjoon very confused. 

"Joon..." 

Hearing Hyejin's voice instead of Jimin's startled him a bit. He had almost forgotten that she had slept over that evening, but he quickly remembered the events that occurred that night once he began to regain consciousness. 

He turns and although the room is dark with only the faint light of the moon giving some visibility, he notices how her shirt is clinging to her body and the little beads of sweat dripping from her temples.

"I-I'm sorry to wake you, but it's so hot in here and I'm having trouble sleeping." She says fanning herself.

"No, no don't apologize. It feels like a sauna in here... so weird." He lifts his blanket off his body to get up only to realize that he had been sweating too. 

"Here let me open the window." Namjoon began to do anything he could think of to make the room cool down, also turning on the little fan he and Jimin shared. 

He took off his shirt, contemplating if it was even worth putting on another one. It was just too damn hot. He opted to just leave it off, welcoming the feeling of the warm breeze hitting his body. 

He looks over at Hyejin who is sitting on Jimin's bed, still visibly uncomfortable due to the heat.

"Let's get you a new shirt." Namjoon offers turning to his wardrobe. 

"Actually Joon... do you mind if I just not wear a shirt? I-I have..." 

She struggles with her words, noticing the potential awkwardness of her suggestion. She points to her chest flustered. 

"UNDERGARMENTS. Yeah that's it. Undergarments underneath."

"You mean a bra." Namjoon concludes with a slight chuckle. He found her tentativeness cute.

"Yeah. That." She says embarrassed for making a fuss, realizing they are both adults and the word "bra" is hardly a taboo word.

"It's fine with me Hyej. See, I'm not wearing a shirt either. If it makes you more comfortable that's all I care about." He says as he sits on his bed facing her.

Hyejin took that as the go ahead, no longer able to tolerate the devilish heat of the room. Namjoon watches as she reaches the hem of the shirt bringing it up over her head, revealing her lacy red bra underneath. He notices the slight sheen of sweat on the swells of her breasts making his mouth go dry. 

He now thinks that this situation isn't all too "fine" with him. 

She uses the shirt to pat her damp skin dry, unaware of his wandering eyes. 

Namjoon quickly looks away clearing his throat, suddenly finding the tissue box on his desk interesting. 

Hyejin gets up from Jimin's bed and heads towards the window to get some air, causing him to look over.

Her hair is pulled up in a messy bun, revealing her "Maria" tattoo on the back of her neck. He first noticed this when they were dancing together earlier that evening but obviously they both weren't in the mind space at the time to be asking questions.

"I've been meaning to ask, but what's the meaning behind your tattoo Hyej?" 

She turns around at his question. Her hand coming up to back of her neck.
