Misun's delicate fingers knead the now soft cookie dough, preparing to add in the best part. The chocolate chips. Misun was so focused on what she was giving her time to, she failed to realize how late it got, and neither she, nor Niki hadn't had anything to eat yet and there was still 30 minutes left on the oven for the cookies, which would need to cool down anyway before they could eat them.
Misun stepped out of the kitchen, in search for niki, only moments later to find him walking up the stairs in front of her, leaving her staring up dumbfounded at the sight in front of her.
He. Was. Shirtless. With just a towel wrapped around his waist. And With Wet hair. Misun has seen niki through it all, except for seeing him in his "right out of the shower" state. Something that she didn't plan on ever caring about or wanting to see anyway.
"Staring problem now too? Jeez sun, you're a wreck today." Niki teases as he continues to walk upstairs, disappearing into the dark hallway up ahead.
Misun slaps her hand across her mouth in shock of what just happened. Why would she care if Niki was shirtless? Or how his wet hair makes him look sexier than ever before, wait what?
"What the actual hell is wrong with me?" Misun expresses as she runs over to the large couch in Niki's living room, hiding her face into the plush blankets covering the couch. Why is she having all these weird thoughts? Misun doesn't understand her feelings towards guys, or have time for them either, and what makes it worse is that its her best friend shes having these thoughts about.
______________________
Time passes as the brisk autumn air grows even colder, sending chills down Misuns half-asleep back.
Misun finally begins to sit up from her 'Screaming in her pillow' session about a boy who's supposed to be her best friend, when moments after shes tackled by a big bear hug from the same person.
"Soooo... Should we order takeout?" Niki asks as he begins to position himself next to the girl, playing with her hair after getting cuddled up next to her.
In Niki's mind his affection towards the girl is nothing but a friendly nature, but what he doesn't realize is how Misun could interpret these actions even though it's considerably normal for the two.
"Uh- — Yeah, let's order Gimbap?" The girl questions, attempting to move away inch-by-inch from the slightly older boy, only to be brought into another large bear hug but only this time he doesn't let go.
"Sun? Why are you acting weird again? Did i do something wrong?" Niki questions the disturbed-looking girl in his embrace, finger combing through her hair.
"No, i promise, everything is fine im just getting a little lost in my own thoughts, y'know?" Misun says lowering her tone of voice knowing this could be a risky topic to bring up.
"Wanna talk about it? The movie can wait." Niki says, hugging the girl even tighter.
In her head Misun runs down a list thinking about if telling him would be a good idea. She knows that honesty is best in a friendship, but she doesn't even know how to convey her feelings in a sentence, plus it could lead down a path that shes not trying to go down. Thats right, her parents. Although Niki knows all about her parents, she's not trying to make recollection of her traumatic past.
"Im uncomfortable." Misun says bluntly, sliding out of Niki's comforting, but yet uncomfortable embrace.
"What? I can get different blankets if you want- — or we could just do the movie night in my room, my bed is probably better than the cou-." Niki begins only to get cut off shortly by the uncomfortable girl.
"No, thats not what i meant." Misun begins, but she decided not to continue.
"N- — Nevermind, i dont wanna kill the energy, lets just have fun." Misun tries to drop those thoughts, hoping she can just enjoy her time with the boy.
"No, Sun im worried about you. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but you already know i'm always here for you. If you're uncomfortable then ill do whatever it takes to change that, ill be your comfort in discomfort." Niki says, seriously staring into the girls glossy eyes, shes definitely about to cry.
How can he be the biggest jerk ever, but then have the gentlest, and kindest words to offer to her.
That was her breaking point, after that the tears started flowing nonstop, as the evidently upset girl ran back into the tall boy's comforting but yet uncomfortable embrace.
"It will all be okay, sun i promise." The boy says drawing circles around her back and attempting to soothe away her pain, he might not understand but he's there for her, Always.
(possibly foreshadowingggggg the next chapter ejehdhdh)
Even though the movie marathon was put on hold, they eventually got back to it, spending the rest of their night bickering with each other, crying over soap operas, eating Cookies and Gimbap, and a little bit of upsetting and confusing moments here and there, but she'll always get through it with Niki by her side.
"You're a crybaby you know that? its like the 10th time today." Niki claims after letting out a breathy laugh.
"Shut up." Misun says in a nasally voice due to her sobbing and screaming session after watching the rest of 'the summer I turned pretty'.
