(not) Just Friends!

Chapter 6

Gayoung stirs awake. Feeling something heavy pinning her down. She opens her eyes and found Dohwan, nuzzling on her side. Snoring lightly. Pretty much still asleep. Apparently, it was his hand that rested on her waist. Locking her in this position.

Gayoung observes Dohwan's face. His eyes closed, and she can see his long lashes. Too pretty for his own good. Down to his little mole on his nose. One mark that softens his feature somehow. And then down to his lips. She bites her lips involuntarily remembering how his lip's tasted last night. Bitter. Warm. And addicting. Like a morning coffee.

Gayoung stares at his muscled arm that sprawled across her side. And her eyes travel to his bare chest. She feels the heat starts creeping on her cheek when she realizes Dohwan is half-naked.

"Where are you going...", Dohwan mumbles when he felt Gayoung trying to wriggle away from his arm.

"How long have you been awake?", Gayoung glares at him.

"Long enough to feel you staring at my face...", Dohwan grins.

Gayoung rolls her eyes, yet ended up smiling. "So...how's your sleep?", she remembers how tired he looked yesterday.

"Great...", Dohwan smiles softly. "It's the best sleep I have had for a while...". He was too anxious to have a proper sleep lately. Thinking about what will happen to his project. What if everything he worked so hard for failed? And almost losing the girl next to him. But now, at least he has her. Here. In his arm.

"Good...", she's relieved. She can't bear seeing Dohwan looks so miserable.

Dohwan kisses her forehead. "Thank you..."

=============

"So...you two are finally together now...", Minjae exclaims as soon as Gayoung and Dohwan enter the room.

Gayoung and Dohwan are looking at each other. Wondering if one of them told Minjae. Because they both were planning to tell him directly today when they have a workout session together. "How do you know??", Gayoung asks. Because Dohwan was clearly as surprised as her.

"Oh, come on...we've been friends for almost half a decade...do you think I wouldn't notice if you two finally crossed the line...", Minjae smirks.

"Good point...", Dohwan nods. "Even though I am not sure what did you even notice...since we just entered the room..."

Minjae drags Gayoung and Dohwan to stand next to each other in front of the big mirror in the gym. "Look..."

Gayoung frowns. "What to look?"

Minjae sighs. "You two are glowing...and ladies and gentlemen how a good night's sex looks like..."

"YAAA!!!", Gayoung watches in the mirror as her face turns bright red like a tomato.

While Dohwan instantly grabs Minjae's neck playfully trying to break his neck. "I am going to kill you..."

"Youngie heeeelp!!"

===============

Dohwan finished filming Bloodhounds. Or refilming to be exact, since they need to retake a lot of scenes because of that DUI case of Saeron. Dohwan never said anything about her again. But Gayoung knows that deep down he felt betrayed. Because that accident wasn't an accident. Saeron was drunk and choose to drive. She could kill someone. And Gayoung really hates her for that. Saeron was her friend. They weren't actually close. But they both were child actresses and have worked on the same project together. So she considered Saeron as her friend. But after that case. Gayoung didnt even want to know her anymore.

Just like how Gayoung continued to film the Interest of Love, Dohwan also started filming for Joseon Lawyer as soon as he finished his Bloodhounds filming. They both are busy. During Bloodhounds filming, they can meet every 2 or 3 days even if they didnt have a break. Because the filming was mostly in the studio in Seoul.
