You were lounging on the bed, completely absorbed in your book, while Heeseung was in the bathroom, taking a shower. The sound of running water was a soothing backdrop to your quiet evening.
"Hey, can you pass me my t-shirt?" Heeseung's voice echoed from the bathroom, but you were too engrossed in the plot to respond immediately.
"Please? My t-shirt," he repeated, but you barely registered his request, your eyes glued to the page.
With a resigned sigh, Heeseung stepped out of the bathroom, water still dripping from his hair. The moment you glanced up and caught sight of his toned abs glistening in the dim light, your book slipped slightly from your hands. You didn't realize you were staring until Heeseung cleared his throat, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Enjoying the view?" he teased, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
You snapped out of your daze and quickly reverted your eyes back to your book, only to realize that you'd lost your page. Flustered, you fumbled to find it again.
"Looks like someone has a dirty mind," Heeseung teased, taking a step closer to you.
"I do not!" you protested, but you still didn't dare to look him in the eyes. Heeseung, always the observant one, noticed your hesitation and decided to have a bit of fun.
"Oh really?" he said, his voice dropping to a lower, more teasing tone. "Then why can't you look at me, huh?"
You stayed silent, knowing about the game he's playing.
"Never knew you were SO head over heels for me, Y/N" this worked.
You turned to scold him but stopped short when you realized just how close he was. His face was inches from yours, and his bare chest was right in front of your eyes. He was only wearing a towel wrapped around his waist, and his proximity made your heart race.
"Gotcha"
"Heeseung, you're getting water everywhere," you said, trying to sound annoyed but failing miserably.
He just grinned and reached out to caress your cheek. "Can't help it if you're making me sweat," he whispered flirtatiously.
Your cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red as his wet fingers brushed your skin. The droplets from his hair fell onto your face, making you gulp nervously.
"Why so shy?" he asked, his voice soft and teasing. "You've seen me like this before."
"Not like this," you muttered under your breath, trying to look anywhere but at his bare torso.
Heeseung chuckled and moved even closer, his breath warm against your ear. "You know, if you wanted to see me, you could have just asked. No need to ogle me like that."
You opened your mouth to protest, but the words died in your throat as he pressed a gentle kiss to your cheek. "You're so cute when you're flustered," he murmured, his lips brushing against your skin.
His teasing words and the intimate closeness made your heart pound even harder. You felt like you were melting under his touch, and your mind was spinning with a mix of embarrassment and excitement.
"Heeseung, you're impossible," you finally managed to say, your voice barely above a whisper.
He just smiled and pulled back slightly to look into your eyes. "But you love me for it," he said confidently.
Before you could respond, he gently tilted your chin up, making you meet his gaze. The intensity in his eyes made your breath hitch, and you couldn't look away even if you wanted to.
"You know," he said softly, "I love this side of you. The way you blush, the way you get all flustered. It's adorable."
Your heart swelled at his words, and you couldn't help but smile. "I love you too, Heeseung," you whispered.
His smile widened, and he leaned in to kiss you, his lips soft and warm against yours. The kiss was sweet and lingering, and it made you forget all about your earlier embarrassment.
When he finally pulled back, he rested his forehead against yours and sighed contentedly. "Now, how about we find that t-shirt and get comfortable?" he suggested, his voice filled with affection.
You nodded, feeling a warmth in your chest that had nothing to do with the temperature. Heeseung stood up and grabbed his t-shirt from where it had been left, pulling it over his head.
As he settled back down next to you, he wrapped an arm around your shoulders and pulled you close. "You know," he said, "if you ever need a break from reading, I'm always here to provide some entertainment."
You laughed and snuggled closer to him, feeling the tension of the day melt away. "I'll keep that in mind," you said with a smile.
Heeseung chuckled and kissed the top of your head, holding you close. "Good," he said softly. "Because I plan on keeping you entertained for a long, long time."
You sighed contentedly, feeling safe and loved in his arms. No matter how much he teased you, you knew that Heeseung's love was genuine, and that was all that mattered.
