34. Kim Jaehwan | Warming Up

Jaehwan opened the front quickly and you followed him inside his apartment, shivering from head to toe. He glanced at you after kicking off his soaked sneakers and then moved up into the living area towards the bathroom. "My heating will take a while to warm this place up. We'll never warm up in time without catching a cold in the process."

"Your apartment was the closest," you pointed out and sighed. "We would have gotten sick in all that rain if we continued on to mine anyway."

"We need to get out of these clothes and do something to warm up."

You started removing some of your layers, getting right down to your singlet and panties before you stopped. You'd known Jaehwan for most of your life so the lack of clothing wasn't a problem around him. All the same, you were starting to feel the chill down to your bones and as you dumped your clothes on the bathroom floor, you stared at the shower in front of you.

"You should get in," he offered, whilst shaking profusely. "You need to warm up."

"So do you, you go first, I can wait."

"If you come down with a cold, I am not putting up with your mother nagging me for allowing such a thing since today's outing was my idea. Go on, in you get. I'll get you a towel ready."

You nodded slowly, feeling guilty for getting to use Jaehwan's shower first. He turned his back to you so you could remove the final layers and then you stepped into the cubicle. The heat burned against the icy temperature of your skin and for a moment you focused on adjusting to the feeling. But guilt still niggled at you. Glancing around the cubicle, you then moved to the curtain and poked your head out. "Jae, join me in the shower?"

"W-what?"

"I mean, look at you, you're chattering your teeth together. Come on, we used to take baths together as kids, this is no big deal. It's all about survival."

"Are you sure you're going to be okay with this?"

You smirked; he was already whipping off his top despite his question. "You forget I don't see you as a man."

"Hah, funny. Good thing I've never been attracted to you physically either then."

Jaehwan finished removing his clothes and jumped into the cubicle with you. It was a tighter fit than you imagined and when he brushed up against you, you moved your eyes to the ceiling. You noticed Jaehwan's similar stance and tried not to laugh.

"Thought you weren't attracted physically?"

He chuckled. "You diverted your eyes first."

"Should I look then?" you teased and shifted to let him have more of the water now that the burning was subsiding for you. You slipped and Jaehwan grabbed you, your bodies now flush together. You stared at your best friend wide-eyed, wondering why you had suggested something so dangerous. You were now reacting to a sudden desire within you that assisted with the burning you were already feeling on the outside.

Jaehwan groaned and you gasped at the sound. "Y/N, I think I lied."

"Yeah, this uh definitely is different from when we were kids. Want to let go of me, I think we uh, need space."

Jaehwan immediately did as you asked and you sucked in a deep breath to settle whatever it was that you were feeling. You willed your gaze to look up still, but you could feel Jaehwan staring at you. Looking at his face, you noticed the pink tinge to his cheeks as he looked over your chest. In any other setting, you would have thumped him for perving. But your own eyes travelled down the length of his torso and hips, surprised when you saw how affected he was. You then met his gaze, arousal coursing through you as you stepped closer to him. Jaehwan's arms wrapped around your waist again, but this time they had a very different need.

You fell onto your back panting loudly against Jaehwan's sheets. He mirrored your actions and you smiled lazily as you glanced at him from under heavily hooded eyes. He grinned.

"So... we just did that."

"Jae, we just did that three times."

"I didn't hear you complaining once unless I was meant to read all your moaning as opposition."

You laughed lightly, rolling onto your side so you could stare at Jaehwan. He had always been someone you did a lot of things with. You just hadn't imagined sex being one of them. It felt deeper than that though. Whenever you had slept with someone else, it hadn't been as natural. You wondered if being best friends for so long removed the usual inhibitions that you felt when you bared yourself to someone for the first time. Sure, Jaehwan had seen you naked a lot of the time as a child. But you had the body of a woman now. A body that ached from how much he had been pleasuring it all night long. You blushed in the dim lighting of his bedroom, and somehow Jaehwan caught onto it.

"Why are you shy now?"

"I've never felt this good before," you admitted and Jaehwan shifted closer, his hand roaming over your waist to your back. He pulled you into his body and reached for your lips.

"Mine."

"I'm what now?" you breathed after a series of kisses erupted between you both and you gave him a hard look. "Did you just claim me?"

"I've been claiming you all night long."

"Yes but-"

"I have a confession to make," Jaehwan cut in and you watched him grow awkward. His arm tensed around you before he stared into your eyes. "I've wanted to do this for a while now."

"This, as in...?" you trailed off and Jaehwan nodded. You could barely make out the pinkness to his ears and smiled, moving your lips to the soft skin below his ear. "You've thought of me naked before?"

"Don't drag it out," Jaehwan moaned as you giggled into his neck. "I love you, Y/N. As a friend and as a woman. Be mine, please."

"Aren't I already? There's no way I would have slept with you more than once just now if I didn't want you to be mine too."
