Skyline Sparks | Seo Changbin

15

I woke up the next morning, tightly wrapped in Changbin's arms. I smiled as soon as I realized where I was and snuggled more into his chest. Unfortunately, I had work today, so after a while, I tried to wiggle out of his arms, cautious not to wake him.

"Where are you going?" he mumbled, still half-asleep, tightening his arms around me.

"I have to get ready for work," I replied, chuckling softly.

"But it's my day off. I wanna spend it with you," he whined, refusing to let me go. I also didn't want to leave, but I needed to.

"Well, my day off was yesterday. That's why I could come to the studio with you," I giggled, trying to loosen his grip. Given that his biceps were the size of my head, he was a lot stronger than me.

"I'm not letting you go. I want to cuddle," he continued to whine. I loved him being clingy, but I really needed to get ready.

"What do you want for letting me go?" I asked, amused.

He burrowed his face in my hair, his breath warm against my neck. He hummed while thinking. "I want to go on a date tonight... and I want you to stay over again tonight AND I want to drive you to work," he said.

I giggled again. "Okay, deal," I answered, and his grip around me loosened. He watched me get ready from the bed, grinning brightly the whole time.

"Didn't you want to drive me? Come on, get ready!" I said, making my way to the bathroom. He chuckled before swinging out of bed. I saw his shirtless body for a moment out of the corner of my eye and immediately looked away. I had no time for this now.

"I can pick you up later," Changbin suggested as I was about to get out of his car.

"You don't need to, Binnie," I said, smiling at him.

He took my hands in his. "What time do you get off?" he asked, looking me in the eyes.

I smiled shyly. "Five," I mumbled.

He grinned. "I will be here," he said, leaning over to place a gentle kiss on my lips.

I sighed as I got out of his car. He waited until I disappeared into my work building before he drove off, and I groaned. How on earth did I become so lucky?

"What's up with you?" Aki asked, walking up next to me as I waited for the elevator.

"Remember my date?" I asked her, already blushing just thinking about what had happened in the last few days.

"Mr. Perfect? Yes. How is it going?" she asked, a little excited.

"Well, he's my boyfriend now... and he's making me crazy," I mumbled, burying my face in my hands.

Aki giggled. "Is it so bad?" she laughed.

"I considered calling in sick to spend the day with him," I admitted.

Aki laughed quietly. "He's that good, huh?" she asked.

I sighed. "He's better than everything I imagined...," I mumbled.

The day at work dragged on, every minute feeling like an hour. My mind kept wandering back to Changbin, and I found myself smiling for no reason. Aki noticed and teased me about it, making the day a bit more bearable.

As the clock neared five, my anticipation grew. I couldn't wait to see him again. When I finally stepped out of the building, I saw Changbin's car parked out front. He leaned against it, looking effortlessly cool.

"You really didn't have to come," I said as I approached him.

He shrugged, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I wanted to. Plus, I couldn't wait to see you."

I melted at his words, feeling my cheeks heat up. He opened the car door for me after kissing my forehead gently, and I slid in, feeling a wave of contentment wash over me.

As we drove to my place, Changbin reached over and took my hand, intertwining our fingers. "I've been thinking about our date tonight," he said. "How about a nice dinner at that new restaurant downtown?"

I nodded, excitement bubbling up inside me. "That sounds perfect."

Back at my place, I changed quickly and we headed out for dinner. The restaurant was cozy and intimate, with soft lighting and a warm ambiance. We spent the evening talking, laughing, and enjoying each other's company. Changbin was charming and attentive, making me feel like the luckiest person in the world.

After dinner, we took a walk back to his place, hand in hand. The night was cool, and the stars were shining brightly above us. We talked about everything and nothing, just enjoying being together.

When we finally got back to his apartment, I kicked off my shoes and flopped onto the bed. Changbin joined me, pulling me into his arms. "I had an amazing time tonight," I said, looking up at him.

"Me too," he replied, pressing a sweet kiss to my lips. "I'm glad you're staying over."

I smiled, feeling a warmth spread through me. "I'm glad too."

We settled in to watch a movie, snuggled up together under his blanket. As the movie played, I felt myself drifting off, lulled by the comfort of being in his arms. Just before I fell asleep, I felt Changbin's lips on my forehead and heard him whisper, "Goodnight, Asami."

I smiled, my heart full, and let myself drift off, knowing I was exactly where I was meant to be.
