i find myself running home to you

(darling my heart is yours) chapter 6

It's been a week since the washroom incident happened. When the bliss began. A few days after that, Yujin and you had chatted all night. That's when she popped the question. You were already in depth of plans when she suddenly asked you. Who were you to say no? Though you admitted how you wanted to pop the question first and sulked, she laughed heartily and hugged you, kissing you at the top of your head while your head buried on the crook of her neck. It felt extremely perfect.

Tonight you were planning to sleep a little early, as you were drained from today's project. Completing a pottery set indeed wasn't easy, but you managed to finish it with Yujin's help. As you were walking to the dorm, freshly showered and waiting for Yujin, a hand grabbed your wrist and pulled you into a dark corner and pinned you against the wall. Before you could even yelp in surprise, Yujin's face appeared making you sigh in relief.

"Oh my god. You scared the life out of me. What are you doing?" you asked, laughing at how mischievous she looked. You barely could see anything here. "I wanted to show you something before we head to bed. Come on" she suggested sweetly, softly grabbing ahold of your hand and leading the way.

Her hand's so soft, you never get sick of holding it. You always do anyway. Under the table during announcements, eating, even walking. She led you towards the back of the building of the cafeteria when you spotted a bench, beside a pond and the moon shining brightly in the night sky.

"I found this spot a few nights ago and wanted to bring you since" she explained, looking at you and back to the view. Your eyes widened a little on the beauty of it, mouth slightly agape. "Wow, this is- it's so beautiful" you said, squeezing her hand in gratitude. The both of you went and got comfortable on the bench, staring ahead and getting lost in both your minds.

The view was exquisite. The pond was decorated with white stones around it, the bench located at the perfect spot to stare at the extravagant moon and the beautiful stretch of the sky. It was like the painting you did back at home, hung at your wall.

Only this time a beautiful companion was by your side as you felt her hand ghosting over yours, soft caresses on your forearm before going further down and linking your fingers together, slotting together perfectly like a key to the lock. You squeezed her hand lightly, feeling full.

You glanced at Yujin, who was staring at the view ahead with eyes so round, counting the stars and the mountains that were surrounding camp. Her eyes shone so bright, her eyes alone carried the whole universe, somewhere you wanna get lost in forever. Yujin noticed you staring and looked back, smiling knowingly before placing a kiss on your forehead, lips lingering on soft skin.

"What are you thinking about baby?" she whispered, eyes so loving. You melted at the term of endearment, it was all new to you but you loved how Yujin was slowly guiding you and you loved this new experience, since Yujin was next to you.

"Just how lucky I am to have you and how beautiful this place is" you trailed off, still amazed at the view. She chuckled lightly before adding "I know right? I'm even luckier to have someone like you beside me, holding my hand". You smiled and looked at her, eyes full of love before placing a soft kiss on her hand.

"I meant what I said the other night. My feelings grew and it's still growing by the second and I never plan on stopping." Yujin placed her hand on your cheek, guiding your eyes to hers. "I don't know if you feel the same, I don't expect you to feel the same now at least but I will wait. I will always wait for you." You were so touched by her words you felt like exploding. You weren't one to express your emotions well but you felt like exploding whenever you're with Yujin.

You glanced at her lips momentarily, wondering all this time if it would taste as sweet as the chapstick she uses. It's so plump. She did the same with yours, both of you leaning in agonisingly slow. The time seemed to stop, only the beauty of the night and the both of you present, eventually so does your breathing.
Yujin glanced up at your eyes, eyes lidded with a hint of desire and curiosity, then back down at your lips. Your noses bumped, forehead touching. Her bangs tickling your forehead. You were both breathing the same air, waiting for the next.

"May I kiss you?" she whispered so low that if you missed a second, you wouldn't hear it, the sound of your heart pounding in your ears wasn't helping either. Kiss me.

"Yes" you whispered and finally, her lips touched yours. You thought it would feel like new years, like how first kisses usually are in the movies, fireworks envisioning in your eyes. Hers felt like home. Her lips were so soft against yours, colliding smoothly and slow. Her hands cupped your cheek lovingly, thumbs stroking your cheekbones softly, like you're a fragile piece of art.

Your hands found purchase at her hips, pulling her closer. The kiss was beyond words, sure this was your first but you were sure hers were the only lips you would ever want to kiss. Kissing was fun.

Yujin pulled back reluctantly, attempting to catch her breath and glanced at you. Her eyes were slightly dilated, lips a little swollen and her beautiful hair flowing perfectly with the night breeze. Your lips were tingling, wanting more, so you did exactly that. You grabbed her face and kissed her again. The noise of surprise that escaped her lips intrigued you more.

She smiled into the kiss, amused by your eagerness and willingly let you do whatever you wished. She would be an idiot to complain. You both broke apart some time later, it was getting late but her lips were addictive.

"Was that okay? Was it too much or-" you silenced her by pecking her lips. Once. Twice. Thrice. You could never grow tired from her lips. She laughed lightly and placed her forehead on yours, eyes closing for a moment. "I love you." Yujin said after a long moment. Oh my god.

You opened your eyes to find hers already open, staring lovingly at you. You were stunned, you absolutely loving how it sounded coming from her lips. You wanted to hear more. "Say it again" you whispered, placing your hands around her neck. "I love you. I am absolutely in love with you" all while smiling sweetly. My poor heart.

You kissed her longer this time, lips lingering. You poured everything in that kiss, the love and affection towards her, the words you couldn't find to express your gratitude enough. Soon the both of you headed to your dorms hand to hand and went to bed, not before a goodnight kiss. Or kisses.
