With All That I Am: Bound To You

It's a--!

"What's wrong with you?"

Karina eyes Winter who glares at the color of the wood on her school desk. The younger woman shows Karina her phone screen, and the date appears with a Lock Screen picture of the sunset.

Squinting her eyes at the screen, Karina takes Winter's phone from her, unlocking it with ease. She only gives it back once she's set a new Lock Screen and home screen picture on Winter's phone of their favorite picture together.

"Here," Karina drops a bunch of Winter's favorite candy bars on her desk. The latter immediately perks up, grabbing one to open it up. "I didn't want to be a victim of your hormonal wrath."

Winter pouts, "my period mood swings aren't that bad."

"You threw my phone in the pool last time." Karina said, as a matter of fact.

"You wouldn't stop teasing me." Winter retorted, "serves you right."

"I do that even if you're not on your period."

"Well, you should've known not to fuck with me when I am on my period."

Karina snorts, "trust me. Never again."

"Are you going to thank me?" Karina raises a brow as Winter bites into her first chocolate bar of the day.

"No, it's implied best friend duties. You're doing a good job." Winter smiles to herself mischievously.

Karina eyes her, heart swelling with affection at the glow radiating from Winter's eyes and her lips. All because of a damn candy bar.

Suddenly, Karina's pointer finger is being enclosed by tinier fingers wrapping around her digit. Winter moves her hand onto her lap, fingers still wrapped around Karina's single digit. The tiny fingers adjust their hold onto her own, thumb running along the shine of her nail, back and forth, back and forth, into a caress.

Another need amongst many when Winter was on her period.

Touch.

If only Winter knew just how much Karina had been screaming inside whenever the younger woman initiated any form of touch with her.

"You're gonna have to let go of that, you know." Karina nods her chin towards their hands resting on Winter's lap.

"Why?" Winter frowns.

"Did you want to run with me in gym class?" Karina chuckles, knowing how much Winter hated to run.

Winter makes an adorable noise. Something between a whine and a grunt, whatever it was, it has Karina suppressing a smile.

"Why would you ever mention running to me?" Winter grumbles under her breath.

Grinning to herself, Karina shakes her head. "The hormones are swarming in." She mutters under her breath, groaning when Winter's fist hits her shoulder.

"I swear to god, Yu Jimin." Winter grits between her teeth, "go ahead," she challenges when Karina turns to her with dark eyes, "keep pushing my buttons, Jimin, I'll make you regret it."

Karina rubs her shoulder, "feisty."

"You're rubbing off on me." Her lips jut out into a pout, "I used to be sweet before I met you."

"You're still sweet, Minjeong."

Winter blushes, turning away so Karina wouldn't see the pink tinge of her cheeks. She keeps their pinkies intertwined, their hands hanging between their seats and rocking back and forth like a swing.
