Forbidden/ SKZ Hyunjin

Chapter 5 - Sleepover

Nari was sat on the edge of the bed, scrolling through her phone. She wanted to make sure her mother hadn't tried to contact her, and left her a message to explain where she was. She was patiently waiting for her clothes to finish washing so she had something to put one holding the towel tightly around her. That's when she got a text.

Unknown:
Hey, It's Hyunjin. I tracked your number down after the concert.

Nari:
That doesn't surprise me with you...

Hyunjin:
Why aren't you asleep yet?

Nari:
I'm waiting for my clothes to finish washing so I have something to wear

There was a moment of no response, the little bubbles popping up before disappearing again.

Hyunjin:
There's T-shirts in the top drawer, some shorts in the third

Nari stared at her phone for a minute, before looking around. She walked over to the drawers, finding herself some clothes out before getting dressed. Everything smelt exactly like him, and she couldn't get enough. She returned to the bed when she heard her phone beep again.

Hyunjin:
Did you get it?

Nari:
Yea, thank you :)

Nari stared at her phone for a moment, indecisively chewing on her bottom lip.

Nari:
Why aren't you asleep?

Hyunjin:
Felix snores.

Nari:
Since we're both awake, I could use some company?

Hyunjin:
How scandalous.

Nari took his response as a rejection, pulling a face before putting her phone down. It was only after a minute or two when the door creaked open and Hyunjin walked in. He was bare faced, his hair slightly messy. She had never seen him in his most vulnerable before.

She smiled up at him, watching him move to the other side of the bed. "Can't sleep?" He asked, sitting down next to her. Nari shook her head in response "I'm not good in new places..." she explained.

Hyunjin leant back against the headboard, raising a brow at the girl. "You're going to be exhausted when we go on tour then..." he joked running his fingers through his hair.

Nari hadn't given much thought about that, unsure on how her mother would cope without her. "Yea... I don't think I'm going to attend the tour. I was going to ask Mr. Park to station me here." She shrugged slightly. Hyunjin couldn't help but feel a little down about it, waiting for her to explain.

There was a moment of silence before she realised he was waiting, causing her to look down. "I just can't leave my mother for so long, you know?" She knew her mother would beg her to go, to go travel even if it was for work. That's why she hadn't told her about it yet. "Have you spoke to the company? They can help with things like that." Hyunjin suggested, hesitantly running his hand over to hers.

Nari smiled a little, running her thumb over his knuckles. "Maybe... I'll have to see what Mr. Park says about it all." She told him. If there was any reason to go on the tour, it would be for Hyunjin. Nari liked spending time with him, seeing him almost every day at work, and the other members of course.

"Nari, what happened in the car... I don't know what it means, but I don't really care. I like being around you, you're beautiful inside and out. You're so passionate about your work. We haven't known each other long and our situation is complicated but.." Hyunjin paused, unsure what else there was to say about it. He didn't want things to come to an end so soon, but neither of them could promise eachother future at the moment.
