36: Hallway Kisses

[Jeongin]

"Noona?" I stood outside the guest bathroom of my new apartment, biting hard down on my lip as I really needed to go.

I'd invited the kids over for a get-together to celebrate both the fact that I'd moved and also that Hyunjin had recovered, and we were now well into the evening.

"Can you h-hurry a little? The drinks w-went right through me—" I felt a little tipsy due to said alcohol, but I could still walk without holding on to things, so I considered myself pretty decent.

I heard some rustling from inside, before the door unlocked and opened.

Skye smiled at me, her eyes hazy. "Hi Jeongin-ah~ I'm almost done, you can, mm— come in though." She slurred her words a bit, obviously more drunk than I was.

I chuckled softly at this, and headed inside the bathroom as she held the door for me.

She closed the door again once I was inside, standing by it for another moment. "Do you want it locked?"

"Yeah, sure."

The door locked with a soft click, and Skye headed back over to the sink to finish touching up her makeup.

I glanced over at her, thinking she didn't really need to since she looked beautiful either way, but I knew she usually felt more confident in herself when she wore makeup.

Heading for the toilet, I quickly got to business, feeling relieved as my bladder wasn't screaming at me anymore.

Going to the bathroom with one of the kids in the room was standard procedure when we were all together, so I didn't feel shy even though I had feelings for her.

After finishing I headed over to the sink, and Skye moved to let me wash my hands, giving me a pat on the head once I was finished. "Aww, Innie. You're so fluffy~"

She put her makeup back into her bag while I dried my hands, trying my best to hide as my cheeks had turned slightly red. "Ew, Noona—"

Skye just giggled, patting my butt as she passed me and left the room.

That woman made me feel so many types of things, and sometimes being alone with her would overwhelm me because my feelings were so strong.

All the little touches she gave me that I had to pretend not to like just to make it less obvious how head over heels I was, all of the glances and little smiles we shared between us that made my heart bounce from love.

Although it was difficult to handle all of the feelings sometimes, it was so worth it.

I peeked at myself in the mirror and took a breath to settle my mind before heading back towards the others as well, preparing to walk back into a room full of third-wheeling as that was how I'd left it.

But I never got that far, a gentle pair of hands grabbing my sides and pushing me up against the wall.

My eyes widened, head tilting up to see who had suddenly taken me hostage.

"Don't squirm around, okay?" Skye mumbled, leaning down so our faces were levelled.

I blushed again, my head starting to spin, and that was definitely not just because of the alcohol.

"I just.. want to do something if it's okay."

She confidently moved closer as I nodded dumbly, pausing for a brief second before pressing a peck to my lips, her peach-pink lipgloss transferring over as we collided.

My face turned a bright red, eyes closing instinctually, remaining closed even after Skye had pulled back. "N-Noona, uh—"

"I won't remember this tomorrow, so.. I'll just enjoy it for now." She let her hands slip down to my hips, giving them a squeeze before pecking me again, tugging me closer by the belt loops of my jeans.
