As the movie progresses, Jin feels June's body begin to slump, and he realizes she's fallen asleep.

Jin keeps massaging Lily's scalp as she continues to be fully immersed in the movie, laughs escaping her throat and tears filling her eyes at the right times.

Slowly, maybe unconsciously, Lily moves closer and closer to Jin until they're just inches apart. Jin has to put his arm around Lily's shoulder so he can still play with her hair while his other hand is locked in June's grip.

Jin sighs in content; it's like the uncomfortable situations never happened. She's back to acting normal around him and not at all like she's scared of him.

To add to his content, Lily's hair is so close to his face. All he has to do is turn his head slightly to the left and he'd be able to breathe in her scent from the source instead of from her pillow or her shampoo.

He refrains though; he's just gotten her back and he'll be damned if he messes things up again so quickly. Instead, he keeps playing with Lily's hair as her head slowly droops to rest against his shoulder.

His heart skips a beat, the two of them never having been this close to each other before. They'd been fairly close before he and June became a couple; after that, Lily distanced herself to show respect to her sister's relationship. June made it clear that she loved seeing her sister and her boyfriend being such good friends, but Lily had drawn a line that she never crossed.

Now, she's comfortably resting her head on his shoulder, his arm around her as his fingers entangle within the tresses of her honey hair, and he couldn't be any more blissful.

As much as he tries to resist, his mouth begins to water at the thought of Lily's lips pressing against his. How do her lips taste? Do they taste like honey? Like the golden rays of the sun itself kissed those lips he's dreamed about endlessly?

His head turns slightly, ever so slowly, as he takes in a slow, deep breath, letting the scent of her fill him to the very core.

When Lily moves a bit at the feeling of his deep breath, he plays it off as a yawn as he slowly stretches, putting everything into the facade as his fingertips reluctantly leave her hair.

He tries to move back to her quickly, but before he can, she sits up, stretching her own muscles before turning to look at him. Their faces are so close - so close that he can feel her honey breath teasing his lips.

She frowns, her eyes unfocused as she stares at his features. Jin sits frozen, his mind screaming for him to lean in but his body frozen under her challenging stare.

"Did you use my body wash?" she asks in a whisper, her eyes falling into a sense of discomfort again.

Jin gulps. "I took a shower and didn't realize I was out until I was in there. June is almost out of hers so I had to use yours."

Lily hums, her eyes falling to look down at nothing in particular. "I don't know if I believe you, Jin."

Before he can respond, Lily stands and walks down the hallway, his heart nearly shattering as he hears her bedroom door close.
