NOTHING BUT YOU: FOREVER YOU | Na Jaemin

Part 17 | Wet Skin

Grace woke up to the sound of water dripping from the window. She quinted her eyes and found out it was raining outside. She turned her body around and saw another body stills in his deep sleep beside her. She sat up and watched how their clothes scattered on the floor.

She quickly got up and pick her clothes one by one from the floor. She wore her dress again and walked to the bathroom. She sighed as she saw herself in the mirror. She looked so mess. She decided to wash up since it's almost 6 am in the morning.

Not too long after that, she could hear his groan from the room. He called her twice until she shouted loudly from the bathroom. She's still in the middle of her urinate yet he bothered her already.

"Grace?"

She stunned as the bathroom door opened, revealing a big man that she shared the night with last night. You know what she meant by it, they're not just sharing the night, but it was more than that.

"God, are you crazy? Knock, first!" That's the first thing she said after she saw him groaning on the bathroom door.

"You didn't lock the door." He said as he approached her closer.

"Na Jaemin, what if I'm someone else?"

He answered with a big yawn as he ruffled his hair slowly.

"What are you doing? I thought you were gone."

She paused for a while and rolled the tissue out. "I'm peeing, duh?!"

"You got me so worried, you know that?" He said and he leaned down slowly on the bathroom counter in front of her.

With that, she got up from the toilet seat and walked towards him. Of course, she could see how worried his face was. But it's not like she'd leave him just like that.

Shane was right, he predicted his Mom would not be able to get home last night. Hence, Na Jaemin asked him to stay over at his parents house in the city.

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." She said as she turned the tap on to wash her hands.

Na Jaemin sighed as he folded his arms together around his chest. He watched her took something from the small pouch she had inside her bag. He immediately grabbed her hands to see what she got.

It's a small pill but he was completely knew nothing about what kind of pills she had. For as long as he knew, Grace never mentioned that she was sick.

"Na Jaemin, that's not nice." She said as she could feel him tightening the grip on her hand.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

Grace just nodded and pushed his hands away.

"I'm fine. It's, uhm... my birth control pills." She groggily said to him.

Grace could hear him gasped at her. He turned his body around as he stood there behind her. He looked at herself in the mirror as she swallowed the pill slowly.

Grace paused for awhile after she saw him zoned out behind her. She quickly grabbed his hands and wrapped them slowly around her waist.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not like I regret to have our son, Shane."

He was taken aback by it. He let out a little chuckle and propped his chin on her shoulder.

"I know."
"We just gotta take it slow, right?"
"Hm."

They both chuckled while looking at their reflection in the mirror.

"But I felt relief, though." He said and it made her wonder.
