FOREIGN ATTRACTION (COMPLETE)

CHAPTER 11: SHOWER

I opened the car door and handed the fare to the driver, who greeted me with a thank you as he helped me open the door of the car, sheltered under his umbrella. Liam's weight made it a struggle, but his well-being was my priority, regardless of my water drenched state.

Arriving at the tall skyscraper, coats still on from our research deliberation, I wrestled with Liam's weight, feeling the effects of both his drunkenness and my own tipsiness. The guards witnessed my struggle, a result of the shots I regretted taking earlier. So they help me carry Liam inside.

Upon entering the elevator, I assured the guards I can carry him by myself. I'm just glad we're just the two of us here. After assuring the guards I could manage, I muttered to myself about Liam's inconvenience, noting his disheveled appearance.

"You're such a pain in the ass" I whisper as I stare at his red face and messy hair. Eyes a bit close but he keeps on yawning. And it's only now I've realized his visible teeth fangs. Which makes him even hotter, what the hell is wrong with me?

"T-take me back, me, want to drink" He said as the elevator chimes and I carried him on my arms and shoulder again in full force. I'm just glad his unit is close to the elevator. "Where is your card?" I asked as we stopped on a door with a number 209 on its front.

"I don't know" he responded while sarcastically laughing. Is this guy for real?

"How about your keys?" I repeated. "My keys? Oh, hmmm..." then he just started acting as if he's thinking or clueless where it is.

"열쇠는 어디에 있나요? [Where are the keys?!" I frustratedly demanded in Korean, growing increasingly impatient with Liam's indecisiveness. He responded with a lackluster "Pocket, my pocket," which only fueled my annoyance.

"Then fuc*ing grab it, Liam! You're heavy, I swear," I snapped, refusing to entertain his obstinance. I let out my annoyance cause he's not even doing anything. What does he want? For me to grab it myself in his slack pants pocket? There's no way I'll be doing that.

"You do it president" he responded as if intentionally annoying me. Shy and embarrassment took a toll on me imagining my hands going inside his pockets. That would be the most intimate skinship I will have with him, except the hugs.

Despite my reluctance, I reached into his pocket, feeling a mix of embarrassment and intimacy as I fumbled for the key to his unit. Afterall, I have no choice. He's very stubborn now and won't listen to anything I say. I slowly put my hands inside, a bit shaking as I found my way to his unit's key. You can feel his buffed thighs just from this and I almost got a heart attack when I touched the keys. Found it.

He jolted inside straight to the sofa upon entering. I stretch up realizing how numb my shoulders and arms are now from carrying him. I took a deep breath and went to the counter to prepare hot water and tea for him. He needs something warm, especially when it's still raining.

After preparing hot water and tea, I shed my wet coat and turned to check on Liam, only to find him undressing.

"뭐하세요? [w-what are you doing?]" I asked while I unconsciously stared at his well defined body, broad chest and V line visible from his pants. His zipper is undone so you can see his boxer below his waist. Unable to tear my eyes away from his defined physique.

He stared at me fiercely and responded, "목욕하다 [I will take a bath, isn't it obvious?]". He responded defiantly, insisting on taking a bath despite his intoxicated state. But will it be okay for someone drunk to take a bath? I am not sure of this, I never got drunk in my life. I hope this is just about stars in the solar system or algebra in calculus. I am not sure if it's safe for him to take a shower by himself.
