Jin lays in June's bed, hearing her peaceful, slow breathing as she dreams - probably of a winter wonderland.

Jin smiles to himself, turning on his side to run his fingers through June's strawberry blonde hair. Just like her sister's in its gentle wavy texture, but June's hair has the tint of red to it that makes Jin want to tangle his fingers in it. He's always loved the color red.

He turns away from his girlfriend, knowing he won't be able to sleep if he keeps staring at the beauty just next to him. The way her skin shines more perfectly than porcelain makes him want to press butterfly soft kisses to every inch of it, relishing her as the treasure he's always wanted to prove her to be.

Though as soon as he turns away from June, another face presses into his mind. This time, it's shrouded in honey blonde hair, sun-kissed skin and eyes that challenge everything in their wake.

The forbidden fruit.

His mouth waters, wishing so desperately that he could taste her. June is delectable; a freshly-picked strawberry in a garden that thrives even in the coldest blizzards. But Lily is something else - something he hasn't tasted and experienced.

He wants to.

Oh, how he aches for her.

His feet pull him from the bed, carrying him to the hallway just outside Lily's room. The door is ajar, the curtains pulled back in her room to illuminate her face in the softest rays of the moonlight. He shuffles closer - as close as he dares without touching the door - and lets his head lean against the doorframe. His eyes glue themselves to Lily, mesmerized by her slightly parted lips. One of the thin straps of her pajama top has fallen from her shoulder, the skin highlighted in moonbeams as Jin gnaws on his lower lip to keep from panting.

He doesn't know how long he stands there, hypnotized by her as she sleeps. She is honey; dripping with nectar just begging to be tasted and relished. He wants to drown within her.

Jin can hear his heart pounding in his ears, its rhythmic pulsing reminding him that the honey is, indeed, forbidden and he can only watch.

He can only ache.

Jin's entire body begins to ache; every muscle in his body is willing him to inch inside her bedroom, to sit on her floor to watch her sleep from inches away so he can see how her eyelashes tickle her sun-kissed cheeks.

And he tries to fight it; he truly does. Because this honey is forbidden, and he's not supposed to ache this badly for it. But he does.

And that ache makes his hand reach out in front of him, inching the door open so he can slip inside. He just wants to feel her breath fanning his lips.

Just as his fingertips touch the cool wood of the door, the hinges creak and shatter the trance Jin had fallen into.

Lily's eyes pop open, her torso rising from her bed as she squints toward the now open doorway.

"Jin?" she asks, her voice thick with exhaustion as her eyes barely manage to stay open.

Not knowing what else to do, Jin turns and runs back to June's room, being careful not to wake up his winter-weathered strawberry girlfriend.
