Im Jaebum had adorable hands.

You noticed them the very first time you met him on a warm Saturday afternoon. It had been a long week of academic work and you had finally submitted a bunch of papers that were long due. Relieved, you intended to spend the entire day watching television and languishing in your apartment to enjoy the newly-repaired air conditioning. It would have been perfect had Jackson Wang not texted you at 2 pm and told you that he was in the park across from your apartment. Apparently you needed to come down instantly, it was an emergency.

You ran down with your hair still in a messy bun and wearing your sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. It wasn't until you spotted Jackson sitting on the park bench that you realized you shouldn't have taken his words too seriously. Dammnit, your sweatpants even had a hole in them. Why hadn't you taken five seconds to change into jeans? What sort of emergency could Jackson be having at the park, anyway?

Evidently, it was the non-urgent kind.

Jackson was sitting next to another guy and chatting with him casually. Both men looked up at you as you arrived. You flushed, out of breath and confused.

"Jackson! What is it? What happened?"

Jackson grinned at you. "Hey! That was quick! Did you run?"

"You told me you needed help-"

"Yeah, yeah! Sit down," he insisted, moving over to make room for you on the bench. You sat down awkwardly and glanced at the other man. His dark eyes were fixed on you as though he was analyzing you for some purpose and you felt extremely uncomfortable. You crossed your legs together and tugged at Jackson's sleeve impatiently.

"Jackson, what's going on-"

"Meet my buddy Im Jaebum," Jackson introduced you to the other man enthusiastically. You turned and forced a polite smile in Jaebum's direction. His face was still unsmiling and his small eyes narrowed at you. Jaebum reached across Jackson to offer you a handshake, and you hesitantly complied. Your eyes nervously looked down at his hand because looking at Jaebum's face was making you flustered. His hands were small and his fingers were short. You could feel the softness of his skin against yours.

His hands were like a baby's.

"H-hi," you greeted nervously.

"Jaebum's a film student," Jackson explained to you enthusiastically, not noticing how your handshake was lingering in front of him. "He and his group are working on a short film for his final project and they're having trouble finding a female lead."

You swallowed and nodded, slowly withdrawing your hand from Jaebum's and trying to collect yourself. For some reason, all you could think about was the hole that you knew was in your sweatpants (why had you put them on knowing that they were torn?) and how Jaebum might see it. You folded your hands in your lap and tried to focus on Jackson.

"Oh? That's really interesting. What sort of film-"

"I suggested you!" Jackson cried enthusiastically.

You stared at him, trying to see through the cloud in your mind. "Sorry, what? You suggested me for what?"

Jaebum leaned over and cut off Jackson. His voice was calm and deep, and it sent shivers down your spine. It was almost scary how intimidating yet attractive this man was.
