Pleasant Imagines (Jinjoo)

Always sleeping (short)

Yujin was just happily laying on the bed with the air conditioner blasting at its highest.

The temperature has been going up these few days or even months. 

But despite her liking for cool air, and being able to survive in winter with two layers of clothing, her girlfriend was the total opposite.

"She said she wanted to watch a movie," Yujin mumbles.

Just then, the room door creaks open and in flies the said girlfriend who mimicked that of a zombie.

"Yujin-ah..." Minju rubs her eyes after finishing a two-hour-long lecture in the study room. "Why is it cold?" she shivers, quickly hopping under the covers.

"I'm hot." Yujin lifts her arm, feeling the girl slither up into her embrace.

"I know you're hot. You're always hot." Minju's words unintentionally made the girl blush.

"But could you care about your not-so-hot girlfriend here?"

"Do you mean it?" Yujin saw her lifting her head up. "I'm hot?" Minju stares at her for a brief second, seeing that little grin of hers.

She scoffs. "Annoying."

Yujin laughs and pulls her closer. "I'll keep you warm." she rubs Minju's shoulder, having the girl bury herself into her body.

"Ah...recharge."

"Are you a baby?" Yujin snickers when Minju puts her legs over her body.

"You said you'll keep me warm."

She then goes ahead to lift Yujin's shirt over her own head, hiding beneath the latter's clothes.

Yujin shifts slightly. "It's ticklish." she chuckles, feeling Minju's fingers touching her bare skin.

"Ticklish?" the girl playfully continues wiggling her finger against Yujin's stomach before getting pulled out by her.

"You're done," Yujin warns, seeing her girlfriend smirk.

"Okay, okay." Minju lays against her and promises not to do anything funny. "I'll just lie here." She takes Yujin's arm and wraps it around her shoulder.

"What was the movie called?" the latter navigated through an illegal website in order to find their movie.

It's currently showing in the cinemas but neither of them is willing to spend on something that can be done comfortably at home.

Although the cinemas are great for dates, they think otherwise. Being in bed is more comfortable.

"I think it's called The Rise of Gru." Minju looks at Yujin.

"Is it?" she searches as Minju admires her from where she was.

Her little hand gently pats Yujin's stomach before her lips rise into a tiny smile.

"Stop looking at me like that."

Minju hums. "Why?"

Yujin halts for a moment before staring into her eyes. The older girl suddenly feels small under her intense gaze, watching as Yujin advances nearer to her face.

Her heart started racing like when they first met, goosebumps appearing above her skin like never before.

Who knew the person you fell in love with could have the same effect on you after so long? That fluttery feeling that makes you smile even after bombing a test.

Yujin filling her sight was all it took for her heart to go through a marathon on its own.

"Feel it." Yujin grasps Minju's hand and places it on her chest. Subtle rapid vibrations of her heartbeat were detected.

"This is what happens when you stare at me." Yujin sighs shakily. "I get nervous," she said.

"Not excited?" Minju chuckles, quickly attacking the latter's cheek with her lips to raise those beats up a notch.

"I get shy," Yujin whispered, cheeks turning rosy.

Before she knew it, the girl went on top of her. "Yah Kim Minju!" Yujin squirms when the girl wouldn't stop kissing every inch of her face.

"You get shy?" Minju stops.

Yujin breathes, "Yes."

She continues marking her territory with her lips, giggling. "Mine."

"Are we going to watch the movie or not?"

Minju lifts herself up, giving her one last kiss. "I'd rather watch you."

"We're watching the movie." Yujin playfully shoved her aside, earning a light chuckle.

Minju cuddles up to her. Yujin gave her a judging look as if she doesn't know who she is.

That earned her a smack to the stomach. "Hurry up."

Yujin played the movie, turning off the lights using the remote.

Not even halfway through the show, Minju's laughter died down, putting the whole room into silence.

Yujin turns her head, hearing a soft snore coming from the person who has fallen asleep in her arms.

She ever wonders how the girl falls asleep despite being in the most awkward position.

"Are my arms that comfortable?" Yujin shifts Minju's hair aside, free hand reaching for her phone.

Feeling cheeky, she takes a short video of Minju sleeping through a minions movie.

"Look at this woman," she says, zooming in on Minju's face. "Always sleeping. Did you not sleep in your past life? Why do you keep sleeping when you're with me?" Yujin giggles, finger poking her cheek.

"We have never watched a whole movie." she turns the camera around, getting both of them in the video.

"Train, buses, clubs. Girl, where do you not sleep?" Yujin shook her head in disbelief. "I guess you're just too comfortable." 

She stops the video and puts her phone on the nightstand.

"I should sleep too then." she sighs, turning off the tv with a hand pulling up the covers.

She gently tugs Minju closer. "Come here." she relentlessly yanked the lifeless girl back into her arms.

Hugging her, Yujin tucks her head beneath her chin, using Minju as a bolster.

"What do I do with you..."
