You woke up the next morning with a major pounding in your head.

"Ughhh" you groaned.

You had no idea what time it was but at least you still remembered everything that happened last night..even if it may be a little hazy.

On your nightstand sat your phone plugged into the charger, a glass of water and two ibuprofen...You smiled remembering how sweet Hyunjin had been putting up with you through your drunken stupor. Then you remembered how you had practically told him everything...everything you never planned on telling anyone...you buried your face in your pillow with embarrassment and regret.

"He probably thinks I'm crazy now...I'll most likely never hear from him again except for the awkward classes we will be forced to stomach together" you thought.

Reluctantly you sat up to swallow down the pills and chug the glass of water he left. You sat on the side of your bed for awhile stretching your aching body until you could muster the strength to get up and get another glass of water from the kitchen.

As you trudged into the living room you were startled by the scene in front of you. Hyunjin was sound asleep on your couch. A decorative pillow tucked under his head and a thin throw blanket struggling to barely cover his body. He couldn't be comfortable...but fuck...he was just as gorgeous when he slept.

You stood frozen in place not sure of what to do...you didn't want to wake him but you desperately needed water...you were so dehydrated from the alcohol.

Carefully you tip toed your way past the couch to the kitchen and slowly opened the refrigerator to pull the full pitcher of water out and pour a glass...

Then you began your careful journey of tip toeing back past the couch towards your room when you heard his voice behind you...low and raspy with sleep.

"How are you feeling?"

Slowly you turned around...embarrassment written all over your face. He looked just as handsome in the morning...hair all a mess and usually neat clothes now wrinkled from a nights sleep on the couch...you remembered the tender way he kissed your cheek last night...the way he held onto your hips as he danced to the music against you...his nose nuzzling against your neck and lips grazing your ear.

You remembered his words "I have nothing going on with anyone...except you...if you couldn't tell...I sort of like you."

He liked you...you knew that now...and he was still here on your couch.

"Um...I feel kind of like shit..."

He sat up on the couch wiping the sleep from his eyes. "I'm not surprised...soju gives the worst possible hangovers. Did you take the ibuprofen I left for you?"

"I did....Thank you...for everything Hyunjin..." you sat down next to him on the couch.

"I'm sorry for everything last night.."

"You say sorry way to much" he smiled. "There's no need to be sorry.."

"I just didn't want to be a burden..." you said looking down at the glass of water in your hands.

You looked up at him as he pushed a stray hair behind your ear, "you're not a burden...please don't ever think that."

You reached out wrapping your arms around him...hugging him tightly...face buried in his hair. He smelled so good...like sweet pine and firewood.

Hyunjin hugged you back, holding you in his arms...he would hold you forever if he could...he wanted to put your broken pieces back together...show you it was okay to trust again...he wasn't going to hurt you, he could never do that.

When you finally let go you had tears welling in your eyes...you looked up at him through them...he cupped your face with both hands and you blinked allowing them to fall...with his thumbs he wiped them away..the same way he did last night...his eye's drifting to your lips and then back to your own eyes.

He searched for any type of hesitancy...you showed none. He bit his own plush lip trying to suppress the urge to kiss you. You watched as he did so...wondering what is would be like to bite his lip for yourself.

You both sat frozen in time, neither wanting to make the first move...
"Y/n" hyunjin said softly.

"Hmm?"

And with that his lips crashed into yours. He held your face between the palms of his hands caressing your cheeks as he kissed you.

His lips were soft, smooth, and pillowy against your own. You could feel the warmth of his breath against your cheek, your fingers raking through his hair as you breathed each other in...neither of you wanting to break the kiss.

You pulled apart both panting heavily, it was the most passionate kiss you had ever experienced...full of want and need.

"I promise, I won't break your heart like he did." He whispered softly. He knew your emotions were delicate and we wanted to reassure any doubts you could be having.

"I don't want anyone but you..."

You couldn't help the tears. It had been so long since you felt cared for..since you felt like you mattered to someone. You wanted to believe him and everything he said...but what if it didn't last. What if he got to know you a little better and decided you weren't worth his time. What if he lied to you just like everyone else in your life had been lying to you for years. You were so afraid of feeling that again.

You searched his dark eyes. They were so soft and caring...you allowed yourself to feel. To believe him..and you kissed him again.
