Internal Affairs | Lee Haechan

Sleepy head

Jia cursed Haechan in every language she knew as she walked into the living room, feet padding lightly on the floor as she felt a little exposed from only wearing Haechan's oversized T-shirt, no pants underneath since he didn't leave her any.

Her hair was in a bun and her makeup was washed off using his cleanser she looked like she was ready to spend the night but she made a promise to herself that she wouldn't sleep at her interns house.

Haechan's ears finally picked up the distant padding of her feet against the wooden floor and he looked away from his phone towards the girl, his jaw dropping open slightly and his fingers going weak, making him drop the piece of popcorn he was attempting to eat onto his lap as he took in her state.

She immediately blushed at the way he was looking at her, mouth ajar and eyes not being able to return to his tv screen.

"Did you uh..find the movie?" She asked, ignoring his eyes as she took a seat on the couch, far from him as she tried to pull the shirt down as much as she could to cover up her thighs.

"Uh...yeah I-I...yeah" he stuttered, not a single thought in his head. But he quickly came back to reality after noticing her awkward actions, springing to his feet quickly before grabbing a blanket that was laying on his couch and spreading it over legs, covering her up.

"Sorry I uh...I was meant to give you some sweats but...I forgot they're all in the wash" he said, scratching the nape of his neck and she shook her head, his statement making sense as she noticed he was still in his ripped jeans

"Its okay, this is fine" She said, grabbing some popcorn so she could seem less awkward, and it worked.

Haechan picked up the little remote that controlled the lighting in his house and dimmed it down a little so they could watch the movie, simultaneously creating a more sensual atmosphere.

"Do you want me to turn the heating up?" He asked, a little nervous all of a sudden which was weird for him. It's not like he's never had a movie date with a girl before, but for some reason this one felt like the first one, as if everything else he had done with any other girl up until now was a test run.

"No I'm good...are you okay?" She asked, noticing that he was the one who was acting more shy now

"Yeah..yeah" he said, sitting down beside her on the couch, pulling the blanket up onto his legs as well before picking up the remote and pressing play, the distance between the two was being taken up by the popcorn bowl which Haechan wished he left on the table.

As the movie started, Haechan sneakily moved the bowl onto his lap, hoping that she would eventually get tired from stretching her arm too much, and almost naturally, she moved closer to him, not realising she had closed the gap between them until she felt his arm extend behind her head on the couch. She turned her head to see Haechan looking at her, they were midway through the movie and the scenes were getting funnier and more heated. She shot him a smile before turning her head back to the screen and he did the same.

She edged closer towards him again, feeling comfortable with his presence, too comfortable, which caught him off guard. She brought her knees up to her chest, becoming a little ball snuggled under the covers and she laid her head on his shoulder, the faint thumping of his chest against her ear making her smile. He noticed this and quickly took his opportunity to plant a kiss on the top of her head, reassuring her that it was okay.

"Are you tired?" Haechan whispered and she shook her head against his chest

"I'm just comfy" She said through her smile, not tearing her eyes off the cute scene that was playing on the screen

Haechan let out a breath in satisfaction, his own body getting relaxed from just being in such close proximity to her. He liked it, he was starting to crave it. His thoughts wandered on to how he can just 'be' with her, not having to worry or do anything to extravagant in her presence. He could just relax. He felt at ease.

His hand intrinsically worked its way to her head, his fingers removing the claw clip that was holding her bun in place and tossing it somewhere on the couch, letting her hair loose before he started running his fingers through the strands of her hair.

She let herself relax into his touch, loving the way his hands worked her strands, sending her into a more tired state than she was already in, and before she knew it, she was fast asleep.

Haechan smiled as he heard her breaths becoming heavier, realising the girl in his arms had fallen asleep before the movie was over. He picked up the remote and turned off the TV before lightly manoeuvring her into his arms, lifting her up off the couch and heading towards his bedroom. He placed her down onto the bed, covering her up with the blankets before he looked down at her peaceful expression. He could tell she wasn't in a deep sleep yet, but the tiredness from work had already got to her.

As he distanced himself and opted to sleep on the couch instead to make sure she was comfortable, he felt a small tug on his wrist

"You need something?" Haechan asked as he saw her eyes flutter open lightly, but not for long

"Stay here" she said, her free hand patting the space on the bed next to her making Haechan's head speed with millions of thoughts

"...No its okay...the couch is comfy" he said, worrying that she would wake up tomorrow with a vengeance if she saw him next to her

"No seriously...stay" she said opening her eyes again, fighting the urge to close them and he nodded, getting into the covers next to her, trying to maintain some distance but she was quick to place half her body on top of his and Haechan chuckled, knowing that they would have future fights about her taking up all his space in the bed if they were to keep doing this.

"Thanks for tonight, I had a lot of fun" she mumbled, using every little bit of energy she had in her to pull her body up and plant a lazy kiss against his lips before going back to her original position of laying her head on his chest while her leg spread out over his.

"Me too...goodnight sleepyhead" he said, ruffling the top of her head lightly before placing his hand on her waist, aiming to keep her close to him all night.
