Imperfectly perfect.

4. Shopping!

Minjoo's POV-

wow.
Why does this feels so right?
After years of being friends, a single kiss made me realize that all the wait and suspicions of him possibly liking me , were actually right..
I can't believe that the only guy who's always been so shy of his feelings and how he says things , just kissed me. Words cannot describe how pure and happy this moment feels. It's crazy.
" Can we just stay here and do nothing for a bit..?" I softly spoke out. Just laying here made me want to stay by him for hours and just think about what all of this really means. Do I love him? Or is this feeling just from being kissed by my best friend who Ive always secretly thought he was perfect. I guess time will tell. :)
It was as if he was thinking the same thing because after just laying next to each other , valuing the others presence , we both drifted off into sleep not even realizing how long we had just stayed there in peaceful silence.

Morning after-

As the little bursts of sunlight crept through the opaque curtains , my eyes opened and realized it was morning. I turned to my left to find a sleeping little Jaeil curled up in a ball still facing me from the moment we had last night. No , nothing dirty happened but I did realize on thing. He sure didn't let me fall asleep uncomfortable! I was wrapped up in a fuzzy blanket and he even managed to take off my shoes. Meanwhile he had nothing but one of the pillows from our pillow fight and he was sill wearing everything from the day before. I was so flustered from how sweet his actions were and I instantly felt so embarrassed because if I was the first to fall asleep , it means he saw how ugly I look when I sleep!! ahh I hope I didn't look too bad!
Don't ask me why, but I guess my mind kept wandering over to his lips so my way of waking him up this morning was of course, with a kiss. He immediately opened his eyes and realized what I had just done and his face turned into the brightest shade of red I've ever seen him turn; We both instantly bursted out into laughter.
" I seriously did not expect that but I think you just made my day start off really amazingly.." Jaeil giggled out clearly not upset like how I had worried about before I kissed him. I should stop thinking so much haha.
" Well I honestly didn't expect it either but life's better when you do spontaneous things every once in a while!" I replied back with as much confidence as I could manage to spurt out; I think I have to show him that I'm just as much interested in him as he showed he is to me and I'm so ready to see what will go on from here!
   "I totally agree with you. So.. what does all of this mean? Like last night , were you okay with that kiss? Or was it wrong of me to do ? I'm just totally new to this so please educate me on this lovey-dovey stuff..." Jaeil replied clearly a little confused with what should happen next between the two of us. Trust me. I feel exactly the same.. WHAT THE HELL DO I DO NOW. Jaeil is the only guy I've ever kissed besides those random strangers in your family your mom used to make you say bye to. I've never dated anyone before , so I'm pretty sure both of us are gonna be completely clueless on this dating stuff.
"I wish I could educate you , shit , I wish I could educate myself! But I'm pretty sure one of us is supposed to ask the other out , so since I don't wanna be a stereotypical girl who refuses to make the first move , " I replied " Would you like to go out with me?"
Jaeil smiled in the most genuine way I swear my heart skipped a few beats. " Is that even a question? I think after 10 years , us dating is just plain overdue. So , yes I would most certainly love to go out with you." He spoke out while subtly moving closer and closer to me. A few seconds later our lips were being pressed together and I found that my hands were in his hair and his were ever so slightly hugging my waist. We were starting to get deeper with every kiss and caress and soon we were laying on the bed fiddling with each other shirts to take them off..

Jaeil's POV

"No , wait I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to do anything this frisky on the first day of being a couple" I awkwardly stuttered out. "Getting caught up in this isn't safe since neither of us are prepared physically or protection wise.." I chuckled.
"You're right , why don't we go get lunch? We've been spending so much time together in the last few hours , we didn't eat dinner or breakfast so I could really use a good lunch right now." Minjoo joked back , not really joking. I knew she was super hungry. That skinny little thing always wants food. It's why we get along so well ;)
"Oh yeah! I think since we're so inexperienced every moment we're apart feels so weird. Which is why we've been so inseparable the past few hours " I replied back " How does Italian sound to you? I don't remember the last time I saw you eating your most favorite type of food in a pretty long time" I playfully scolded her. I bet she's shocked that I still remember little things like that! Last time I checked , we were around 11 when we last had Italian food..!
"It's like you've read my mind! Jeju has too many seafood places and my mom really loves to cook seafood so I really just want some type of pasta... let's look up a good place and then after we eat we can go sight seeing?" Minjoo asked me.
"Sounds amazing." I replied , completely happy with the plans for our day together. God I hope today is as amazing as I said it would be. I want to make the most of this trip even though we can't do much since we're still not 18 yet and most fun things are for people over 18. Oh well!! You're never to old to explore a new place.
