FOREIGN ATTRACTION (COMPLETE)

CHAPTER 12: VOLLEYBALL

With Liam now settled in bed, he generously lent me a pair of shorts and a shirt, and I was ready to head home. Placing his cup of tea on the bedside table, I double-checked his room to ensure I hadn't left anything behind.

"샤워할 수 있게 해주셔서 감사합니다 [Thank you for letting me shower]," I expressed, flicking on the dim light by his side. "I'll return your shirt as soon as possible."

But before I could take a step away, he caught hold of my hand. "어디 가세요? [Where are you going?]" he asked.

"Home?" I responded with some uncertainty. After all, I'd already done my fair share of caregiving. My body ached from ferrying him around, and with the weekend coming, I had work to attend to.

"Stay here..." he softly pleated, his tone a departure from its usual self. This is the first time his voice turned like this.

"Sorry, I have work tomorrow," I offered in explanation.

"Please..." His voice was filled with such earnestness that I found myself relenting. My head nodded almost of its own accord as I moved to his side, tucking myself under the blanket. To my surprise, he enveloped me in a warm embrace.

"L-liam?" I stammered, turning to face him. "What are you doing?"

"I don't want the tea, I want this," he murmured before leaning in to kiss me. His lips were soft and slightly puffy, tasting of mint from his toothbrush.

Myself slowly giving in, my eyes started to close and I'm kissing back to Liam. we keep on kissing till we're catching our breaths.

I found myself yielding, moaning as I reciprocated Liam's kiss. Our embrace deepened, our lips meeting in a passionate dance that left us both breathless. It felt as though he was consuming me, his hunger devouring me.

Suddenly, his hands ventured under my shirt, exploring my body. Minutes passed, and he removed my shirt, his lips trailing kisses down my neck, chest, and abs, igniting sensations I had never experienced before. He's now on his way down to m-

*beeeeeeeeep

Then, abruptly, the sound of the alarm shattered the dreamlike moment. I blinked, disoriented by the abrupt shift from fantasy to reality. My face was damp with sweat despite the chill of the aircon. I couldn't believe I had imagined such an intimate encounter with Liam. I'm touching my face out of disbelief, and I'm still lost from that scene. What the hell was that?!

Glancing at him, still peacefully asleep, I realized he must have been exhausted, and I silently wished him luck with his inevitable hangover.

As I silenced the alarm, I noticed notifications on my phone from Aunt Julia and our group chat with Ran and Sophia.
