A Match Made In Heaven - Choi Beomgyu

Chapter 8

As Minji's eyes fluttered open, she was met with a pleasant surprise. She found herself mere inches away from Beomgyu's face, their noses almost touching. The warmth of his breath against her skin sent a tingling sensation through her body, and her heart skipped a beat at the proximity. 

Beomgyu's arms were securely wrapped around her, holding her close as they slept side by side. She could feel the gentle rise and fall of his chest with each breath he took, and his steady heartbeat seemed to echo in her ears, creating a soothing rhythm that matched the peaceful morning. 

Their entwined bodies lay comfortably against each other, forming a perfect fit as if they were made to be together in this intimate moment. Minji's hand rested gently on his chest, feeling the soft fabric of his shirt beneath her touch. His warmth enveloped her, creating a cocoon of comfort and security. Her gaze shifted to his face, taking in the serene expression that graced his features in sleep. The lines of tension that often marked his face during the day were now smoothed out, replaced by an air of tranquility. 

Gently, Minji tried to remove herself from Beomgyu's warm embrace, mindful not to disturb his peaceful slumber. As she shifted slightly, she felt a twinge of pain shoot through her head, causing her to wince. She quickly laid back down, wincing at the discomfort, and she could hear Beomgyu let out a soft groan in his sleep in response to her movement. 

Laying still, Minji closed her eyes, taking deep breaths to ease the throbbing in her head. She silently cursed herself for not being more careful, especially considering her usual lack of tolerance for alcohol. It seemed she had indulged a bit too much the previous night during their time with Soobin and Somin.

After a few minutes of lying there, Minji heard Beomgyu shift in his sleep, and she sensed his awareness slowly returning. Suddenly, she heard his deep morning voice, filled with a hint of sleepiness, as he mumbled, "Woke up already?" 

Feeling a mix of relief and a touch of embarrassment, Minji turned to face him, trying to hide the discomfort still lingering in her head. 

"Yeah, I woke up a little while ago," she replied softly, offering him a small smile. 

Beomgyu, now fully awake, blinked his sleepy eyes a few times before focusing on her. He must have noticed her expression because he quickly asked, "Are you feeling alright?" 

Minji nodded, trying not to worry him. "It's just a little headache, I'll be fine," she assured him, hoping to downplay her discomfort. 

She didn't want him to feel responsible for her mistakes the night before. Without any hesitation, Beomgyu reached out and gently caressed her forehead with his thumb. "You should have told me earlier," he said softly, concern evident in his eyes. 

"I didn't want to wake you," Minji replied, feeling touched by his gesture. 

He smiled warmly at her, the concern slowly easing from his features. "You know, you don't have to be so considerate all the time. I'm here to take care of you too," he said, his voice filled with genuine sincerity. 

Minji's heart fluttered at his words, feeling a sense of warmth wash over her. She appreciated his caring nature and the way he made her feel important, even in the simplest moments. As Minji observed Beomgyu's sweet and caring nature during the past three days in Japan, she couldn't help but wonder if an alien had abducted the sarcastic and rude Beomgyu she had known before. The transformation was both surprising and endearing, and she found herself falling for this softer side of him.

As their 3-day trip in Tokyo drew to a close, Minji and Beomgyu were filled with mixed emotions. They had grown closer during their time in the bustling city, creating cherished memories together. Now, it was time to embark on the last part of their honeymoon – Kyoto, another one of their destinations.
