Definition Of Love

VII

[Present Time]

Despite their differences, Karina and Minjeong's shared home is something the raven has cherished for a long time.

Especially on Sundays.

Karina tends to wake up first. How she wakes up everyday continues to feel more and more like a dream that was way too good to her. She has to pinch herself sometimes to ensure what she experiences every day was even real.

Under the blanket, the dark haired actress feels an arm around her waist, a warm breath hitting at her skin just at her shoulders. It's comfortable, Minjeong's legs tangling with her own. They always find their way to eachother, rather be all over eachother than apart under the sheets.

The sun is peaking through the curtains with a purpose, causing Karina to squint slightly when she first opens her eyes. It still makes her smile to know that she wakes up with someone special next to her.

Carefully, Karina turns her body around in Minjeong's arm, meeting the younger's sleeping expression. She scoots closer, stifling a giggle when the brunette whines slightly and tugs Karina closer.

Minjeong somehow doesn't wake up, giving Karina the sign to trace her features. She gently runs her thumb over the brunette's cheek, following the dip of her nose, brushing lightly over her plump lips. Then she lifts her thumb to reach Minjeong's eyebrow, over her eyelids, exhaling out deeply at the unique features that made the brunette's beauty.

The raven's continued to love them over time, often catching herself staring at the younger's face whenever Minjeong and her stay in the presence of eachother. Her ethereal features always draws her in, as pure and adoring as Minjeong is inside.

Seeing her up close like this isn't the first time and she hopes it isn't the last time like she wishes it is everyday. Staying in Minjeong's arms has become a daily occurrence, natural in her life. It feels wrong to even think about waking up next to someone else other than her wife.

Eventually, the brunette shifts, her hand rubbing over Karina's back before sliding it to her waist again. She hums in response to the older cupping her jaw.

"How long have you been staring at me?" Minjeong's voice is merely a whisper, draped with tiredness and husky.

Inhaling at how her beloved has finally awaken, Karina grins. "Maybe for a little while. Did you sleep well? Did you have sweet dreams?" She brushes the stray brunette hair away from her face, in awe of the younger's beauty.

Minjeong fails to hold in a small smile at the motion, finally opening her eyes. Karina's caught in her gaze, hazel brown orbs full of stars, destined to make Karina's dreams and wishes come true. Her eyes roam all over the raven's face, like she's taking in the fact that Karina is here, right next to her. From time to time, she hopes that the brunette recognizes her like this, always.

With the nod of her head, Karina knows what she might say next. "I always sleep well next to you. All my dreams are about you." The brunette says with amuse like it's the most obvious thing in the world, earning a small playful slap from the raven.

Karina can't deny it, her heart flutters a little and it makes her feel all warm. "I think it's too early for you to be flirting-"

A raise of an eyebrow with a sly smirk is what the younger actress responds with. "Who says I'm flirting? It's the very truth, love." She gently squeezes Karina's waist. Then she's tracing shapes on her back, slow and sure, and it makes the raven become slightly ticklish.

Seeing Minjeong bold isn't all that unusual, however, it still catches her off guard until this day. She'll never get used to it.

Rolling her eyes, she retracts her hand from Minjeong's cheek. "Whatever. What are you planning to do today? We have nothing to do for the both of us." Karina really just wants to stay in bed all day with the one she loves, wouldn't rather do anything else.
