"2:00 AM and I'm still breathing

Staring at my thoughts floating up to the ceiling

I'm swimming in everything you said

I'm thinking 'bout jumping in instead

I've got you skinny dipping deep inside my head"


You gave yourself the night to think over what you wanted to do in terms of reaching out to Namjoon. Every fiber in your being was screaming to just leave it be, but that tiny voice of curiosity kept egging you to just message him. When morning came, you propped yourself up in bed, settled on sending him a text just to see if he would even respond.

To Dimples: Hey, are you busy rn?

You anxiously waited for his response, wondering whether it was a bad time for him, considering the 13 hour time difference between the both of you. Relief washes over your features when your phone buzzes with a notification.

From Dimples: no...why, you feeling lonely?

You breathe out a laugh at his response as a faint blush colored your cheeks.

To Dimples: and if I said yes? It's not like you could come over...

From Dimples: I'm sure we could get creative...

Your heart races after reading his response. Familiar desire stirs within your core as you think of that night with him. Another heated flush coats your features as your phone buzzes with another message.

From Dimples: give me a second, I'll call you. Texting isn't ideal...

Your eyes widen as you scramble to make yourself look decent. It was fairly early on your end and you hadn't even brushed your teeth yet. Quickly stumbling toward the mirror, you give your reflection a scrutinizing once over, carding your fingers through your hair until it looks decent enough. You rub the tiredness from your eyes before pulling on a sweater to hide the fact you weren't dressed decently. Though, a small part of you had considered showing off some skin to make him suffer, but that thought was quickly casted out of your mind.

While waiting for his call, you can't help but wonder why you're so eager to reach out to him. Sure, the sex was amazing, but is it remotely logical to start up a casual flirt with someone who's thousands of miles away? Moreover, is it smart to shamelessly flirt with your brother's roommate? Question after question raced through your mind, all of which pointed to the obvious choice of leaving Namjoon alone, but your stubborn nature won in the end.

It takes another minute before Namjoon's video call comes through. Exhaling a steady breath, you cast your nerves to the side before answering the call. Namjoon's face illuminates your phone screen as you spare him a small smile.

Namjoon arches a brow at you before saying, "I'm surprised you texted me first. I was expecting you to ghost me like you did that morning." His tone is coated over with amusement as hints of a smirk plays across his lips.
