"This place hasn't changed much." Jihoo said as he and Jae Ri reached the lounge, each of them laden down with blankets and microwavable popcorn, given to them by the insisting staff.
"...Except for that..." Jihoo walked over to the game console and picked up a wireless controller, looking at Jae Ri mischievously.
"Oh, you want a battle huh? I'm game!" Jae Ri, picking up the other controller and walking over to the couch, wrapping herself in a blanket. Jihoo came over to sit close beside her, tugging on the blanket so she would share. Their legs touched.
"...Does this remind you of anything?" Jihoo asked.
"I-uh-oh..." Jae Ri said, smiling at the memory of the night her and Jihoo fell asleep on the couch together, only about a week prior.
--------------------------------
"JI-RAL!!! Aish, shi-bal...." Jae Ri yelled angrily. Jihoo turned to look at her in awe.
"I see that video games bring out the beast in you, huh? Let's take a break and watch a movie." Jihoo said, gently tugging the controller out of her hand and getting up to put on a movie. It was some chick flick.
Jae Ri hesitated, then snuggled up to Jihoo. She could feel him tense up for a moment, but he quickly relaxed and put his arms around her, drawing her to his chest.
After watching it for a while, there was a kiss scene. Jihoo looked at her teasingly and Jae Ri was overcome with an urge to kiss him. Pulling away from him for a moment so she could sit up, she put a hand on the back of his neck and kissed him. After they pulled apart, Jihoo blinked several times and shook his head.

"....I feel as if I'm meeting you for the first time, yet this time....I'm meeting the REAL you." He said, resting his forehead against hers.
"...Do you like this side of me?" She murmured, tracing his jawline with her fingers.
"Very much." He breathed, kissing her again and again.

As the night got later and later, the wind and rain continued to batter the windows. When it was time to go to sleep, they were presented with a problem.
"Jihoo-ya please...I'm cold. Just stay with me over here." Jae Ri pleaded.
"Its just not proper..." He said, troubled.
"Who will see us?"
"...Fair enough, but the couch is too small for the two of us." Jihoo tried to hide just how desperately he wanted to stay with her. Jae Ri got up and began pushing on the other couch.
"Give me a hand here." He did so and together they pushed the couches together, and the result was about the size of an average bed.
"Aish, I give up." He said, going to retrieve blankets. Piling them on the makeshift bed, he turned to Jae Ri with a michevious look in his eyes. Suddenly he pounced, knocking her down on the bed and hovering over her, a smile on his face. He noticed Jae Ri's blush and realizing just how compromising of a situation they were in, blushed as well and moved to the side. Laying next to her, he put his arms around her and felt her snuggle up to his chest.
"Jae Ri....."
"Yes?"
"I'm so glad its raining."
"I am as well." She said, snuggling closer.
He put a hand under her chin and tilting it up so he could see her face, gave her one last goodnight kiss.
"Goodnight, Jagi." He heard her say something under her breath. "What did you say?"
"...N-Nothing.... Jihoo-oppa."
"You're not going to distract me with that. It sounded like you said 'Sarangheyo'."
She said nothing.
"....Sarangheyo, Jae Ri." He said, kissing her forehead.
