As Sunjae and Sol settled onto the plush hotel couch, the soft glow of the television flickering across their faces, an air of palpable tension hung in the air. Though they were physically present in the cozy hotel room, their minds seemed to wander, their souls not quite grounded in the moment.

The silence between them was punctuated only by the muted chatter from the television, and both Sunjae and Sol found themselves acutely aware of each other's presence. Whenever their eyes met, a spark of electricity seemed to pass between them, and they quickly averted their gaze.

Sol shifted uncomfortably, her fingers plucking at the duvet cover as she stole a furtive glance in Sunjae's direction. She couldn't quite put her finger on the cause of the awkwardness that had settled over them, but the sensation of her heart fluttering in her chest was impossible to ignore.

Sunjae, too, seemed caught in the throes of his own inner turmoil, his gaze fixed on the flickering screen, yet his mind clearly elsewhere. He would occasionally steal a sideways glance at Sol, only to quickly look away when their eyes inevitably met.

Determined to break the uncomfortable silence, Sunjae purposefully let out a long, exaggerated yawn, his hand covering his mouth as he did so.

"Sol-ah...are you watching the movie?..I'm starting to feel a little sleepy,"

Sol glanced beside her, her eyes widening slightly as she registered Sunjae's words. For a moment, she seemed taken aback, "Oh?..ahh..y-yeah, me too," she said, her voice soft,"..Let's sleep"

In a somewhat synchronized motion, they both began to rise, each intent on making their way to the bed. However, as they stood up, their paths crossed, and suddenly they found themselves in an awkward dance of sorts, each trying to navigate around the other.

A shuffle to the left, a step to the right - but no matter how they tried, they kept bumping into one another, their movements becoming increasingly clumsy and unsure.

The initial awkwardness seemed to linger in the air, neither of them willing to make the first move. Sunjae and Sol stood there, faces flushed and eyes averted.

🎧Jeong Sewoon, Fall in love

After a moment that felt like an eternity, Sunjae finally broke the silence, his voice low and strained. "You give me no choice," he uttered, the words laced with a hint of determination.

Sunjae reached out and, in one swift motion, scooped Sol up into his arms, cradling them in a bridal-style carry. Sol, caught off guard, let out a soft gasp, her body tense as she were lifted from the ground.

Sol's body instinctively curled inward, seeking the safety and warmth of Sunjae's embrace. Her head rested gently against his chest, the rhythm of his heartbeat a soothing counterpoint to the nervous energy that had filled the air moments before.

As Sunjae lowered Sol onto the bed, their eyes finally met, a silent communication passing between them.

Sunjae gently hovered above her, his gaze fixed intently and a small, almost shy smile tugged at the corners of their lips.

Summoning her strength, Sol lifted her body slightly, closing the distance between them. In a swift, deliberate motion, she placed a soft kiss on Sunjae's forehead, followed by a gentle peck on the tip of his nose.

Then, with a growing sense of boldness, Sol's lips found Sunjae's, their breath mingling together. Sunjae responded in kind, his own lips moving in a synchronized dance, their kiss deepening with a newfound passion. Hands roamed, bodies shifted, as they both surrendered to the heady sensations.

Their initial tender kiss had sparked a fire within, one that now burned brighter with each passing moment. Sunjae's hands trailed down Sol's sides, pulling them closer and Sol's fingers threaded through Sunjae's hair as their lips met once more in a deeper, more fervent embrace.

The street lamps outside cast a warm, golden hue over their entwined forms, bathing them in a gentle, romantic light and stood as a silent witnesses for their love.
