My Guide // ON HOLD

Chapter 33

Somin's POV

Spending the evening in Jongkook oppa's arms was a need. His arms enveloping my waist with his head at the crook of my neck. The warmth of his body was both a comfort and delight as the masculine scent of him filled my lungs everytime I take a breath. I glanced around my room, frowning at the messy corners. I didn't have time to clean the mess up when I had to go to the meeting.

Jongkook oppa wanted to see the new wardrobe that I bought last week. Apparently, he was about to buy the same wardrobe but was hesitant about it. When I told him I had a tiring day from fixing the wardrobe with my younger brother, he asked me if I could take a picture, which I did, and he was surprised since he was thinking of buying the same wardrobe.

So here we are, in my bed, although it is definitely not the furniture he wanted to see. I didn't mind at all, though. I missed this man and call me clingy, because I admit that I am. I supported his head with my left shoulder as I played with his hair. Did I mention that he was sleeping? The snores coming out of his mouth wasn't pleasing but I empathised with him.

His nose nuzzled my neck and I held back a giggle, backing away. That only made him grip onto my waist and pull me closer. Gosh, this man was practically a bear. His height wasn't shocking, I was basically the same height as him but his figure was another level. I let out a hmph as he flipped on his stomach and unconciously draped his leg over mine. His arm hugging my waist now. I imagine he looked like a damn koala right now.

I didn't think I could move. I looked at the clock, slightly surprise at the time. 2 hours passed as we napped but I couldn't bother to wake him up. I let out a sigh as I turned my body gently to face him. I wrapped my arms around his shoulder as I kissed his temple. Sleep all you want, you buff man.

Jongkook's POV

My eyes fluttered open and my hand instinctly reached for Somin. I sat up when the only thing I felt was a cool blanket. I rubbed my face, clearing my throat from dryness. What time was it? I blinked my eyes as I squinted at the clock in her room. 8:05pm. I slept for 3 hours. The room was dark as the curtains were closed. I peeked outside of her room to see if she was outside.

I ran my hand through my hair as I stood up from her bed and walked out of her room. "Somin?" I called out. I frowned when she didn't reply. "Somin," I raised my voice slightly louder. Still, no reply. Gosh, where is she? I grabbed my phone from her nightstand and dialed her number. After a few rings, she picked up.

"Good morning, sleepyhead," She said with a singing voice. My lips tugged upwards at her soft voice. "Where are you?" I took a seat on her bed. "Miss me already?" She teased. I let out a small chuckle. "Miss you? No. But I am feeling quite empty," I replied coyly. "Playing hard to get, huh?" She playfully asked. "Learned from the best," I said, referring to her. She laughed and I realised, I wanted nothing more than to hear her laugh.

"I'm at the supermarket next block. Thought I could buy some drinks and snacks for us," She answered my question finally. "It's 8pm, Somin. I could've went with you," I said, feeling uneasy at the thought of her alone. "I'm old enough, oppa," She assured. I let out a sigh. "Yes, you are. Sorry," I apologised, I felt childish.

"It's alright. Now, I'm done picking up the goods. I'll see you in awhile. Love you. Bye," She said and hung up. I was glad she wasn't here because I felt myself smiling widely, my cheeks hurt and I can't see. This woman was truly the death of me.

Narrator's POV

Somin kept herself from blushing after she hung up. She felt embarrassed yet proud at the casual 'love you'. She queued in the line, awaiting for her turn to ring up the drinks and snacks. She knew Jongkook does not drink so she bought a few sodas for him. She bought herself some cold beers. The thought of refreshing herself with one of those beers made her salivate. She couldn't wait to drink them.
