The Thin Line | Kim Jinhwan |

IV.'

| ⁂ |

"So ehm what now" Jinhwn asks as he starts to shiver himself.

I rub my hands together to get a little warmth since there's no heater in the cabin. It didn't seem properly isolated since I kept feeling a cold breeze.

Of course we both knew what we had to do to stay warm, to keep hypothermia away. But neither of us wanted to take the first step. It was bad enough that we ended up in this situation, but this surely took the win.

"Yes what now" I ask.

I grab my bag and notice that I forgot my hoodie- it then hits me. I got cold in the bus so I put it on and afterwards forgot to put it back in my bag- I probably left it in the bus. I glance at Jinhwan who is searching his bag as I notice that his hands were shaking, just like mine.

Well Songyi, put your dislike aside for today if you want to live. Be the bigger person.

With a deep sigh I take off my sweater, glad that I decided to wear a tanktop underneath. While I'm kicking off my shoes I notice that Jinhwan is staring at me.

"Kim Songyi what the actual fuck are you doing" he shouts startled as I notice that his cheeks are slightly turning red. 

"You know very well what I'm doing. If we stay in those wet clothes we will die of hypothermia, you know that very well" I mutter as I point my finger at him.

He looks back at his backpack as I hear him softly mutter. "Yes I know but I wasn't expecting you to strip so easily in front of me".

I just ignore what he says as I take off my socks and jeans, now more exposed then I wanted. Not knowing what to do I take a seat against the wall, hugging my legs to get warm again but it doesn't work.

Without looking up I know he too is taking off a layer of clothes. I just don't want to see it so I keep my head down.

Screw this, screw this stupid situation I have to be in with Jinhwan.

Suddenly I feel how Jinhwan puts his arm around my shoulders, pulling my into an embrace.

"Yah what are you doing" I ask a little shocked when I find my face pressed against his naked chest.

Jinhwan rubs his hands up and down my back as I feel him shivering.

"Trying to get warm again, you know what they say. Take off the wet clothes and hug each other for warmth. Don't worry I still got my boxers on so don't be so uptight" he mutters softly.

Not sure if it was supposed to be a joke or not I lay my head back on his chest, hearing his steady heartbeat. For some reason it makes me feel safe, it must be because we know each other for such a long time.

But just the thought of him hugging me while he's shirtless is something I can't get out of my system. He's shirtless and I feel how muscular he actually is, for some reason it makes the blood rush to my cheeks and before I know it I'm blushing.

Blushing because of Jinhwan.

Jinhwan is making me blush.

Kim freaking Jinhwan suddenly has the power to make me blush, like how is this even possible?

"So are you getting warmer because your cheeks are turning a little red" Jinhwan asks curiously.

I felt a little embarrassed to tell him that I was blushing because of him. Just because he's only wearing his boxers.

I just hope our clothes dry up fast since this is getting a little too awkward for me. "Just a little".

He hums softly, not stopping with rubbing my back. "Say you remember the pretty white flower" he suddenly asks.
