Blooming Love | Jung Hoseok

Twenty Four

"What a day...." You mumbled under your breathe.

Even though you're quite tired from all the worries that clung onto you the whole day, your small smile never left your lips. You were just so happy to see that your friends, who's like a family to you, finally achieve their happiness. Their mothers even solved their past problems with one another too, what else can be more peaceful than this?

You are now sitting in the passenger seat, right next to Hoseok who's currently focusing on the roads as he drive back home. Since you were too drowned in your thoughts full of contentment, you didn't realize you were beginning to close your eyes very slowly. It's already nighttime now, you were practically very sleepy.

Hoseok was about to start a conversation with you but when he looked over to you, he saw that you were already sound asleep. He chuckled lightly at your sleeping face and the way your cheek were pressed onto the mattress of the car seat. He couldn't help but to let out a quiet 'cute' as he take a look at you once more. Upon arriving home, Hoseok tried to wake you up a few times but you wouldn't budge a muscle. He knew it right away that you were too deep into sleep so in the end, he decided to do what he can. To carry you of course. He carried you in a bridal style and brought you inside, straight up to your room.

As he gently placed you on your bed, he caught a smell of beer coming from you which makes him wonder if he should change your clothes for you or not.

"Wait what the fuck am I even thinking!?" Hoseok silently scolded himself. He gave himself a slap, which is probably the third slap now, and ruffled his hair.

"Why the fuck would a man do that to a woman without her permission!? No no no, I'm just going to wipe her face and neck clean, that's it. That's all I'm gonna do"

Hoseok took a small clean cloth and dipped it in lukewarm water. He wipe your whole face and neck mildly, not wanting to hurt you or to wake you up. He lift the back of your neck a little and smoothen out your hair so that you'll sleep much more comfortably. He noticed how some strands of your hair were stuck onto your eyelids and lips so he gently move it away and tuck it behind your hairs. In that exact same moment, he felt something inside him. Like the sayings 'butterflies in one's stomach' . That's it. That's the one he's experiencing right now.

"Her lips looked so soft... I just wanted to.." his lips quivered at the sight of your lips.

Hoseok slowly moved closer to you and gulped. His eyes couldn't leave your lips. He couldn't stop himself from moving forward no matter how much he tried to control his urge.

He's almost there. Just a bit more and he'll finally touch your lips. His nose is touching yours now, oh how he can't wait to taste that feeling of his lips on yours.

Slightly closer.. a bit more.. almost there..

And his phone rang.

But thank god, you did not flinched or wake up because of the volume of his ringtone. It wasn't that loud but it was enough to wake someone who's almost asleep up. In your case, Hoseok was just glad you didn't or else, you would've caught him almost kissing you.

"Shit, not again" he cursed. The thoughts of almost being able to place his lips on yours just frustrates him. But of course, a disturbance just has to occur.

Hoseok looked at the caller ID. It was his mother. He knew it right away that she was calling him at this hour just to check on her daughter in law so he has to leave your room to answer her call. And also because his temptation and hunger for your lips might grow so in order to avoid that, he has to take his leave as fast as possible.
