Let Me Love You

Mixed Feelings

You woke to an empty bed, and you started to worry. Where was Woozi? You got up, slowly walking into the living room. Everyone was gone. They must have had to get back for shows. Even Ji had left.. You went to grab your phone, texting him. 'Will you be back soon? We need to talk.' You sat on the couch, and decided to call Chelsea. "Hey Rae! Sorry we left without telling you, but Woozi wanted to let you sleep. Is Jiyong there? Are you feeling okay?" You laughed at your worried friend. "Its okay, and I'm okay. Jiyong hasn't came back yet.. but there's something I need to tell you." You drifted off, wondering if you should tell her about last night. And how you wished it was Ji instead of Woozi.. "What is it?" You paused, then replied. "Its nothing, never mind. I'm gonna go shower. Bye Chelsea." She said goodbye then you hung up.

You stripped your clothes off, and turned on the shower. You hopped in, letting the water burn your skin a little bit. Washing your hair, you felt some of the stress of the few months you'd been here go away, and it was nice. If only it would stay this way forever. Your mind wandered to Jiyong, you wondered what he was doing. You wondered what he was wearing, what he was saying. But then you also thought of Woozi. You quickly washed your body and shaved your legs. Turning off the shower, you wrapped yourself in a towel. Looking around you realized you forgot clothes, not really a problem considering you were the only one home. You walked out of the bathroom, and decided to get a drink before putting clothes on. Water or wine? You grabbed the wine, opening the bottle and pouring yourself a glass. You were scrolling through twitter, sipping on your wine, when you heard someone clear their throat from behind you. You jumped, almost dropping your glass on the floor. It was, of course, Jiyong. Your face turned bright red, realizing you were only in a towel. "Hey, Rae. This is a great way to meet, don't ya think?" He laughed, causing your face to get even more red. "W-why are y-you here?" You stuttered. He took a step towards you, laughing a little harder. "Chelsea told me I need to play babysitter, so here I am." Your heart was beating out of your chest, and you looked down at your feet before replying. "I-I'm go-gonna go ch-change."

You hurriedly ran into your room, locking your door. Could he hear your heart racing? You quickly put on a pair of shorts, and a t shirt from your old high school. You threw your wet hair into a braid, and walked back into the living room, seeing Ji sitting on your couch, typing on his phone. "I don't need a babysitter, you know." His head snapped up, his eyes noticeably staring at your legs. "Dude, my eyes are up here." He chuckled, looking at you. "Sorry, you just have really nice legs. Can I get you anything? How's your ankle?" You looked down, examining your ankle. It wasn't swollen anymore, just a few bruises here and there. It still hurt to walk on, but it was manageable. "My ankle is fine. And no, I don't need anything, but if you do help yourself." He nodded, and there was an awkward silence in the room.

"So... I saw your text earlier. It said you needed to talk to me. Is everything okay?" Your breath caught in your throat. You had totally forgotten you even sent that. "I- erm, nothing. I was kinda half asleep and texting people. Don't worry about it." You sat down next to him, turning the TV on. "Anything you wanna watch?" His face was extremely close to yours when you faced him. "Tell me, don't lie." You turned away, messing with your hands in your lap. "Last night, when I was lying with Woozi, I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about how.. how I wished it was you instead.. and I just don't know what to do.." You felt a weight lift off your chest, but an even heavier one set on when Ji didn't respond for a few moments. "Never mind, I'm sorry. I'm going to try and take a nap, if you need-" you were cut off by him pulling you into a hug.

You hugged him back, feeling all stress dissolve. This is what you wanted, this is what you needed. "Ji.. my feelings are all over the place right now, especially with Woozi still in the picture.. I just don't know what I feel." He pulled away, a thoughtful look on his face. "Hey, Woozi will be gone a few more weeks, yeah? Let me show you my feelings towards you. Please, give me a chance Rae." You thought about it, what could a few friendly dates do? Well, more or less friendly, right? You nodded. "Okay. And what if I still want to be with Woozi after?" His smile faltered, and he spoke softly. "Then we'll just go back to being friends and strictly friends." You slowly stood grabbing his hand. "C'mon, I want to sleep." You tugged on his hand, pulling him along with you. Your phone was buzzing, but before you could grab it, you felt a pillow smack into the back of your head.

You whipped around, seeing Jiyong dying of laughter. "Oh, so that's how this is gonna be, huh?" You grabbed the pillow and started whacking him with it. Ji reacted quickly, grabbing a pillow from behind him and hitting you back. You were both laughing like children, you haven't felt pure joy like this in so long, and you never wanted it to go away. He dropped his pillow, quickly grabbing your waist and lightly throwing you on the bed, and started tickling you. Your laugh was echoing throughout the house, making Jiyong laugh loudly, as well. "J-JI! STOP IT! I C-CAN'T BREATHE!" He kept going, smirking at you. "I'll stop, but only if you kiss me." You were laughing so hard all you could do was nod. He slowly stopped tickling you, his face centimeters from yours. You both stared at each other before you leaned in, closing the gap. The kiss wasn't very long, but it was enough to make your stomach erupt in butterflies. "I'm gonna check my phone real fast, then I'm going to bed." You pecked his forehead before jumping up, grabbing your phone. Your heart sunk, seeing who the missed call was from. Woozi.

You shot him a quick text, saying sorry for not replying, and you would text him after your nap. Yeah, your nap with Ji. Shaking your head, you jumped on Ji, wrapping your arms around him. "I'm sleeping right here. Goodnight." You let fake, obnoxious snores come from your mouth. Jiyong chuckled, moving out from under you and pulling you close to him. His arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you into him. "This is much more comfortable." You laughed, burying your head into his chest. "Yeah, yeah." You closed your eyes, taking in this moment. You didn't ever want it to end. You were perfectly content staying right here.. maybe even forever.
