SIRIES #2: YOU AND ME

Chapter 35

When Taehyung reached for another magazine, found there still had his picture, he closed the magazine and turned to Jennie, who was sleeping with her back to him.

He looked at her for a long time before the faint sound of retreating footsteps could be heard from outside the door.

Jennie couldn't sleep at all. She sighed in relief when she heard the sound of footsteps leaving. She suddenly turned and folded her hands on the pillow, placed her cheeks on them. She adjusted her position and stared at Taehyung.

She looked at him for a moment, as if she had already guessed something, and then she sat up and grabbed the magazine he was reading. She put it down neatly and said, "This is the business magazine bought by Dalisay, she ordered it for me. Usually I will read them before I go to bed."

In the past two years, she hadn't really paid much attention to Taehyung. She only saw his pictures in magazines and knew that he hadn't changed at all.

Seeing that Taehyung was just looking at her and said nothing, Jennie immediately closed her mouth. Then, with a faint smile, she lay down as if nothing had happened. Jennie lifted the blanket over her body and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to sleep."

After that, she closed her eyes with a wronged look on her face.

Taehyung's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the upset expression on Jennie's face. That kind of behavior reminded him of her many years ago when she was still a little girl of about twenty.

The expression on her face was often vivid and lifelike, and the current Jennie, after being tempered by the passage of time, often suppressed too many emotions.

They had all become so unfamiliar with themselves that they had almost forgotten the many traces of eleven years ago.

He suddenly recalled the night when they had an affair. Taehyung tried his best to recall the night. He could barely recall some fragments, but they were not coherent. Only a little bit warm and he also could even recall the time when he touched the soft skin. He was so overwhelmed by the woman's beauty that he was completely unable to control himself.

It wasn't that he hadn't found the reason, but he just couldn't remember how it had happened.

Suddenly, Taehyung thought of the scene that he had deliberately forgotten. Feeling the change in his lower body, he frowned and switched off the bedside lamp.

Jennie was losing her sleep. She struggled with herself for a long time before finally falling asleep two hours later.

When she woke up the next morning, she found that her body was feeling very warm and there was a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar smell attacking her nose. When she opened her eyes, she found that she had actually been in Taehyung's embrace at some point in time.

Jennie hesitated as she looked down at their blanket, then at his arms, then at his face.

Taehyung hadn't woken up yet. The way he hugged her with half of his arm around her waist seemed to be the most appropriate and it made her feel warm and protected.

Jennie was in no hurry to push him away. She kept looking at his sleeping face.

Just as she was about to get up, Taehyung seemed to sense the movement. He woke up and opened his sleepy eyes.

Finally, he frowned, raised his arm, rubbed it between his eyebrows, and turned to look at the sliver of sunlight that peeked out of the curtain. Then he looked back at Jennie, who was resting on his other arm. Her face was calm and natural.

Only then did he realize what was going on. He looked at the arm around her waist and then looked at her. After a two-moment silence, he asked, "When did you wake up?"
