Chapter 23: He Needs Me

A week since the day Seven came over to Jumin's house with his panadol.

A week, and one day.

Although the letters made Jumin's day better, he couldn't deny his feelings for the redhead anymore.

It frustrated him sometimes, these feelings.

But he knew he had to keep his cool.

A tiny slip of these emotions could cost a whole friendship, and his heart.

He sighed, waiting for Seven's letter of the day.

It had become a routine over the days; to grab a cup of coffee from the pantry before heading to his office and - before doing anything else - waiting for his letter to arrive.

And there it was, in Jaehee's hand.

Jumin looked up slowly, before taking hold of the letter when his assistant handed it to him.

She sighed.

"You look down today, for a start."

The brunette shook her head, walking back towards the door of the office.

"I hope his letter cheers you up like it always does, Mr. Han."

She muttered, closing the door behind her after she had left.

"Sure hope it does..."

Jumin sighed, unfolding the letter.

-

Morning!

I slept really well last night!

I'm coming over to your workplace later, cuz I'm bored.

And I finished my work today, so I went back home to pass it to Vanderwood.

He's letting me in back home, but I feel like staying at your place a little longer.

Cause, you know...

It sounds a little weird, but I mean-

When I sleep next to you, against your chest and with my head resting on one of your arms...

... It feels really warm.

And it's so comfortable.

It's easy to fall asleep like that.

I don't usually share these kind of thoughts out openly, but because you told me not to keep everything to myself anymore, I've gotten more used to telling you what I can't tell others.

Even things like this.

If I told anyone else, they would probably find me creepy for being comfortable with sleeping in a guy's arms.

And to be honest, I don't blame them...

After all, people don't see me hanging out with girls or anything even though I say that I'm an expert playboy.

A lot of things about me are unknown to other people.

Mainly my thoughts and feelings.

And they don't do anything to rectify it.

They leave it unknown.

They leave me unknown.

But then, of course, there's you.

I think right now, honestly, you are my emotional support.

That's why... I feel safer with you than with anyone else.

That's what I think.

Jumin squinted at the letter a little.

There's no 'P.S' this time?

The businessman wondered, flipping the letter over to see if anything else was written behind.

Nothing.

He blinked, turning the letter back to the front.

I guess...

This time, he really emptied out all of his feelings.

Such that nothing was left to be said in the end.

He sighed.

And I've been sighing a lot today.

Jumin clicked his tongue, gazing at the letter and re-reading some of its contents.

I'm his... emotional support.

He feels safe with me.

He feels warm in my arms...

Blush started to dust over his cheeks as he recalled the previous night.

In other words, he needs me.

He Needs Me.

Jumin began to fold the letter up, thoughts still resounding in his mind as he slipped the piece of paper into his pocket.

And honestly, I need him too.
