TWINEMY (Hyunjin FF)

((37))

~ Jisung ~

Soon after, the two brothers walked out, Hyunjin stopping at the doorway to motion Felix to come back and make food with him.

Sam came right back to our cuddle pile, into my arms this time.

"How'd it go?"

"Eh. We talked and I explained some stuff. I said I'm sorry and he nodded. He said he needs time to think about it but he's glad I said sorry."

"Ah. Okay. Well that's good. I hope he does accept it, but it's okay if he doesn't. It's just on you to make the first step."

He nodded and snuggled his face into my neck, discreetly placing a kiss there.

I gasped and pushed him off. "You can't do that!!" My face flushed in embarrassment. I can't believe he just kissed my neck.

"Oh. Sorry." He looked suddenly shameful, so I waved my hand around.

"No, it's not like that! I just mean.. I need like warning. Now I'm flustered and shit 'cause I didn't expect it." My face went a deeper shade of red.

He giggled and said sorry. "I can give you another with warning."

I let out a strained breath. "Okay."

He smiled and leaned back into the crevice of my neck, slowly placing a kiss there. The feeling lingered, like electricity in my skin.

"Just one? Or more?"

"Uh— More?" I'm gonna die.

His hands went to my hips to hold himself up as he half-hovered over me. He pressed a deeper and longer kiss, then another.

I vaguely remembered that we weren't alone in the house and we were in the open to be seen, but a slight pull on my skin made me ignore it. His teeth weakly bit me.

My hot breath faltered into a tiny whimper. I threw my hand over my mouth, shocked.

He chuckled against my skin, and I could feel his smile. "Don't cover your mouth."

He bit again, slightly harder. It didn't hurt, just sent a sensation down my spine. "God, Sam..."

He pressed one more kiss, no bite, and then came back to face level. He was grinning mischievously. "Was that okay?"

I nodded, my eyes stuck on his.

"You're weak," he teased, falling onto me to side-hug me.

"Heyyy~ Don't say that." I pouted.

He brought his head up and made a kissy face, making my heart nearly stop. I nervously pecked his lips, but he pulled me in by my neck to give me a stronger kiss.

When he let me go, he sighed. "Sorry." He laid his head on my shoulder.

"Huh? For what?"

"I shouldn't do that if I'm not gonna be your boyfriend."

I frowned. "You will one day, right?"

"Yeah. Just not now. I feel bad. It's like I'm using you."

"Nooo. You're not. I know you're not." I ran my fingers through his hair.

"Okay. You're not mad?"

I laughed. "No. I could never be mad at you."

I don't even know how I was functioning at that point. That was the first time Sam did something like that since he told me he needed time. Maybe the time is coming soon. Any way, I'm fine with what we have now.

"Hey, you wanna sit with me at lunch? And Sam and Jeongin, of course," I asked as I walked side-by-side with Minho.

"I guess. But how about you guys sit at our table? Felix and Hyunjin don't sit there, so there won't be any tension. It's just Bangchan and I now since Seungmin joined Changbin to sit somewhere else. I can't leave him alone."

"Oh. Okay. That sounds good. Can my friends join?"

"Yup."

We entered the cafeteria and went up to my besties.

"Hey, babes!"

Jeongin looked up with an eye-roll and Sam blushed ever-so-slightly, smiling.

"Hey, Sung."

"I have a proposal. Y'all come sit with me at Minho's table, with his other friend."

"Why?" Jeongin asked with noddles hanging out of his mouth.

"He's super cool! I'm sure you guys will like him."

Minho somehow didn't appear awkward at all. I know if I joined him to ask Bangchan to join us, I'd feel so awkward. I guess that's what I admired when he first approached me to date me months ago. I liked how comfortable he seemed all the time and how confident he was in any situation.

"I guess.." Sam grabbed his tray and stood up, waiting for Ayen to grumble and follow.

When we sat down, Bangchan waved, welcoming sweetly. "Hi!"

"This is Jisung. You know him. This is Sam. And.. Uh.." Minho looked up in thought.

Jeongin laughed. "Jeongin."

"Yep. Jeongin. And guys, this is Bangchan, also known as my dad."

Sam gave him a confused look, but Bangchan clarified. "He's joking." The guy lightly hit Minho's arm in scolding.

"So the others left y'all two alone?" I found it funny, the dynamic of their friend group.

Minho explained the situation, mentioning that he doesn't even know where they went, just that they went somewhere.

We talked for a while, enjoying ourselves.

After some time, Sam scooted closer to my side, or arms touching now. Hs leaned over to whisper. "Do you like Minho?"

I blinked in confusion. "No? Why are you asking? You know who I like." I turned towards him.

"You just seem close." His eyes hid some secret emotion. He wasn't jealous, I don't think. The look seemed insecure.

"Well, we did kinda date a bit ago."

The look became stronger.

"But it was never gonna work since I was actually still secretly obsessed with you the whole time. It was short-lived. You don't have to worry. He's just my friend now."

He nodded, but didn't appear convinced.

"Sam." I placed my hand over his on the bench between us. "You don't gotta worry. I love you."

I could practically see his heart beat right then.

"Okay." He turned away with a small smile and blushed cheeks.
