Twenty two; Wanderlust

It was the weekend. Which meant, honeymoon. It would be quite a lie if they both said they weren't excited. None seemed to think of it as honeymoon. Instead they felt like it's a trip they must enjoy. Maybe it was because they were both wanderlusts? Maybe not.

Couldn't not mention the fact their (especially Yurim's) mood was immediately drained at the bad news you'd call a great news. They had to share the same room. The rooms were booked by the elder couple.

Yurim couldn't do anything about it. She tried hard to maintain her expressions. Or else her jaw would've fallen on the ground. She didn't know what to feel. Her and Jake in the same room? Hell no way. It's not like she hated him nor did he. The awkwardness was it. She stared at him trying to look for an answer. While Jake looked at her trying to read her 'unreadable' expression.

"Let's go freshen up everyone~" Jaesuk says already starting to walk wrapping his arm around his wife's shoulder. While the other couple stood there flabbergasted. "Guess we got no other option. Let's go princess" Yurim flinched at the sudden pet name. She couldn't be very grumpy about it could she? It wasn't a bad choice, after all.

The room was pretty cozy. It had a balcony. Yurim quickly slides the door of the balcony to get some fresh air. She stands there. The wind flows making her hair ruffle. Jake soon joins her. It feels like a weight has been lifted from his shoulder as the soothing breeze hits him.

The discomfort about sharing a room– not discomfort though. The hesitancy about it and the tension between them was thick on the air. Yurim steals quick glances at him. "It's our first time sharing the same room haha" trying to lighten up the environment she mutters.

"I– I'm so sorry, Yuri. I didn't know about it. Trust me. A–and now if we take different rooms they will start suspecting us- I'm sor–" his eyes show glint of sadness and sincerity. "I understand Jake. You don't have to apologize" flashing a smile towards him she walks inside the room.

"Will you take a shower first or shall I?" Taking his clothes out of the luggage he zips it. "Ladies first" grinning, Yurim runs towards the washroom with her clothes.

A few minutes has passed, Yurim walks out of the washroom. Her hair was wet and slightly messy. She looked adorable to him. The smell of her shampoo filled the room. "I will help you to dry your hair" he takes fast steps towards her.

"It's okay I can–" "I didn't ask" taking the blow dryer from her hand he brushes his finger through her hair causing her to flinch. He chuckles. Shivers run down her spine and face flushing red. He inhales the fresh scent of her hair. "You smell so nice" he adds more to her flustered situation. "T–thank you"

"There! All done. I'll go take a shower too" Yurim nods. Sitting on the couch she sighs placing a hand over her chest. "What was that..." She runs over to the mirror. "No way!" whisper yelling at herself she widens her eyes. Her cheeks were red as tomato. "Calm down Yurim"

Jake on the other hand, had an uneasy feeling inside his chest. He could easily tell what it was and why. During drying her here he caught glimpse of her collarbone again. The scar. It was still there. He closes his eyes as the warm water comes in contact with his skin.

The bathroom door clicks open revealing Jake. Yurim couldn't help but stare at him in awe. He was wearing a white casual Tee. His dampened hair covered his forehead. Quit staring Yuri! She immediately looks away.

A knock was heard on the door. Yurim quickly walks towards the door and opens it. "We're going downstairs for lunch! Join us!" Jaesuk exclaims. His voice shows pure enjoyment. Jieun stands there grinning. Yurim couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy in her heart, not in a bad way though. She wished she had a love life like Jieun, a person who would love her endless. She does feel secure and loved around Jake. But well, she's so sure there isn't even a tint of amorous feeling that Jake has for her. [A/n: just you wait and watch]

Only if she knew....

"Yes we'll join you in a while!" Jake says from behind, she could feel his presence very close. Closing the door behind her she turns back just to find Jake dangerously close to her. Her eyes widen and her heart starts beating rapidly. "There's something on your face Yuri" he leans a little downwards. "Wha– what? Where?" Panicking, she touches her face.

"It's – beauty" "What the heck!"  she exclaims slightly hitting his chest. He grins looking at her flustered expression. "Shall we go ? They must be waiting for us" thankfully Jake didn't push the previous topic any further or else she might've just lost it all. She nods.

"So you lovebirds finally came" Jake chuckles at the sudden name his brother calls them. He takes a seat beside Yurim. The other couple sits right in front of them. "What would you like to order?"

Yurim sits on the chair in the balcony with a book in her hand. There comes the part she's been waiting for so long now. The most exciting part in the book, she'd say. Her cheeks flush at the mention of kissing. Not knowing Jake has been watching her for a while now. She was smiling very hard, her cheeks has turned crimson red.

Jake wondered, what was she reading that made her blush that way. Curiosity was everything he could feel. He silently walks towards the balcony carefully not to make any noise that would ruin his plan. "What are you reading pretty?" he leans down behind her. Flinching, she immediate closes the book.

"It's — nothing!" she awkwardly flashes a smile towards him. She stands up, ready to get inside the room. Jake was quick enough to snatch the book. "Wha– give it back!" He didn't seem to bother. He opens page number 189 he examined before. The corner of his lips twitched upwards into a smirk as he read the page. Yurim stood there in embarrassment. Her cheeks heating. He closes the book.

He takes a step forward towards her. Her back hit the railing. One step back, there will be no sign of her existence and one step forward their faces would touch, or lips to be exact. He places his both arms over the railings completely trapping her between his arms. "Making out until they're breathless, is that what Mrs Sim likes?" Mrs Sim — she repeats the words in her mind. Her breath hitches. She immediately looks away not being able to hold the eye contact anymore. Her head was spinning. Her stomach has turned into a butterfly garden.

He grabs her chin to make her face him. He leans his face downwards to reach her height, Yurim places her palms over his chest. His heart was beating just as loud as her. The sound in the background, the birds chirping, the honks of the cars,  everything fades in a mere second. Only the rapid beating of their heart and heavy breathing could be heard.

His breath fans over her lips. His eyes travel towards her eyes to her lips. Yurim's eyes were stuck on his beautiful plump lips. Her widened eyes, flushed cheeks, he loved it he absolutely adored it. He leans forward leaving no distance between their bodies. Jake, himself didn't know what he was doing. He didn't have any control in himself anymore.

Just as their lips were about to touch her phone starts ringing making them both flinch in their track. The frown was visible in their faces. She takes her phone in her hands with a blank expression. The caller was the most irritating person to her at the moment. And so was to Jake. She picks up the call. "What?" she asks, the caller could easily tell she was annoyed.

"Woah woah calm down. I just called to ask how were you what were you doing and everything because... I heard you are on honeymoon..? BUT WAIT! Did i interrupt something?" Sunghoon speaks from the other side of the call. "As a matter of fact, you did" "I– hell– no way. I'M EMBARRASSED. Sorry– I'm hanging up! Bye! Have fun!" Fun! My ass.

She turns around just to find no sign of Jake.
