Under the Lights- Kim Taehyung

10. He slept with me..

He ate the soup like a little kid. He was such a cutie when ate it! He didn't like it for sure!
"How's it?" I asked him as I remembered that it was my first time making one.
"Not bad..." he mumbled. "More salt needed.."
"Oh do you want salt?"
"No I am good."
I was so curious about his 'Noona' but I couldn't ask him. I then saw a text notification from Nick. It was about him giving all details about assignments in the group chat.
"Where does he get this info from?"
"Who ?"
"Nick!"
"He is a genius and he seems to be interested in you..."
I was taken aback when he said it.
"I have seen Nick. He isn't the type to date anyone."
"He WAS. Or he is still the same"
"I wish he did like me. What makes you think?"
"He took you that day.."
"Oh it was a treat.. I am used to such stuff.."
"What do you look in guys?"
"Nothing much. Super understanding, looks cute and has the patience to share my love for some stuff.."
"What stuff?"
"Cats, makeup, blogging, novels, manga, GoT.." I went on and on. He gave me the judgmental look and chuckled.
"You have the highest expectations!"
"Obviously! What about you?"
"Not much again. Hot AF."
This time it was my turn to judge him.
"Like Choi right?"
"Lol her name is Mina Choi we call her that cause she is stinking rich!"
"Oh ok! Like Mina then?"
"Kind off...I don't know.. I don't have a specific one.."
"How many girls have you dated?"
" why do you want to know?"
"Just asking! Sorry!"
"This is not the room where you girls shared secrets with each other about pasts and talk other girly stuff!"
That hurt me. Although prying was silly of me but still...that very Noona is annoying me now...so did he!
"You are living with a man here FYI." He continued.
"Yeah right... you look like a 13 year old kid!"
"That's because I am sick! You look like a 12 year old trying to get fan with a Dior lipstick!"
"Hey! Don't insult any of those,specially my Dior!"
"Rich kid,  aren't you?"
"So are you!"
We bickered and he started coughing. I stopped the convo by giving him a glass of warm water.
"Take rest. You are always ready for a combat it seems.."
"Nah, it's fun to nag you!"
"Oh so me asking something personal hurt you that you would poke me?"
"No but it's something I am not comfortable with."
"Sorry and not asking related anything like that..good night!"
"Wait!" He grabbed my hand just like when he was drunk...
"What?" I felt nervous already.
"I will you one thing though....I did like someone before Mina.. I dated Mina because she reminded of her...."
"Okay..now sleep!"I pulled my hand away and snuggled himself on the bed and slept.
I incarnated as the sleeping machine once I hopped on to my bed. After sometime I could see my dream pretty clearly. It was my long lost roomie(a girl of course) wanted to get cosy and I let her in. I slept but something was weird. It wasn't her because I remember that we NEVER slept....
I woke up and I saw someone pretty familiar. LOL it's V alright.
Wait. Whaaaaaaa???!!!!
Why on earth was he sleeping with me?
That perv!
But I didn't want to disturb him so I slept while sitting keeping my back rested to the wall. No hopes there.
I slept back thinking what could he do wrong. I can't help it! He slept like a baby!! I slept back and wondered how we both fitted in it. He was super tall compared to me and my legs reached till his knees. He then put his hands on my waist as if I was a round pillow! I carefully moved it because it was suffocating and I kept his hands to himself. He was bony though. I felt awkward but he was sick and I knew that I was gonna catch cold for sure.
There. I slept with a guy....
And I was too lazy to switch off the fairy lights so it kept on glowing till the morning.
We slept under the lights......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up at 9 and he was awake and my head was aching. I wanted to go and make food but it seemed he cooked my breakfast.. eggs and toasted bread.
He seemed alright. He said that he was feeling better.
" I have your cold now!" I whined.
"Sorry but calm down! I will take care of you don't worry!"
He could have slept with me some other day! Why when he was cold. Gosh I was the bigger perv!
"Why did you sleep with me? ON MY BED?!"
"Sorry again. I had a bad dream and I was feeling cold and you are a pillow so.."
"Shut up perv!"
"Hey roomies sleep together! Don't they?"
" a guy and a girl??"
"I and Noona did this once too-" he stopped and bit his tongue. He didn't say any thing . I assumed that he remembered his Noona.
"Sorry.." His deep tone voice was calming..." i'll make it up to you.." he said.
"It's ok..." I ate my breakfast and got up back to studies. He said that he would go to the library. I was mad but felt bad for him. He must have liked her-no loved her.
I talked to Beth over the phone and talked about what happened in weekend except the sleeping part. But that female had to mention it.
"Did you guys sleep?" She asked with a dirty mind.
"No and never!" I lied.
"Shame!" I could feel Beth pouting on the phone!
" I thought you wanted me to maintain a distance?"
"Yeah but he and Carl slept and Carl said he could feel his abs!"
" what is he a bi or gay?"
"He is straight but it's annoying when he talks about the 'affair' they seem to have!" She whined. I laughed hard with that!
"Open relationship it seems. Any ship name!"
"CarlTae! End of story! " she squealed!
"Lol! That's a good one!"
"Wait what about you guys. I want to ship you both! Roomie ship about to sail!"
"Why will you do that?" Beth became annoying now!
"BoTae? That's sounds fine!" She ignored me...
"We ain't doing this! We are roomies. That's it."
"Ok ok I get it. It's just that he wanders with his own memories.."
"Already saw that."
"Did he mention you about Noona?"
"By an accident.."
"Oh just to sum it up, she was his first love."
" what happened then?"
"Yeah they broke up. He can never get over it since she was the one who did it."
"Oh ok."
"Oh I feel bad for him."
"Ok so this is where you and both of us come. Let's give him distraction we can't clear his memories but we can overcome them. You are new so he will be curious. You are having her vibes too. He would be curious about you!"
"Ok but then-"
"No buts here. Drinking time! Hop in!"
"On Sunday? What about your Monday!"
"Don't have classes? You coming?"
"Nah I have cold!"
"K....Byeeee." She hung up.
Geez. I don't care anymore about him. I am too sick to deal with it.
I was sick and that was an excuse to sleep for the entire afternoon. In the evening I woke up and Tae apparently got my dinner ready. But he wasn't there. He left a note with a small gift.
Hey roomie,
Sorry for being an asshole in front of you.
And the flu of course. Take the meds and have your dinner. You are super nice and I appreciate that you took care of me. A token of appreciation....
TaeTae :)
TaeTae. So cute. I opened the gift and I stood there awestruck.
A. Dior. Addict. Lipstick.
OMG!!!ASDFGHJKL!!!!!!
I didn't know what to say. He bought for me! Why did he spend it on me?
I ate my dinner staring at the lipstick. Couldn't wait for applying it. I looked at it stunning iridescent packing and played it like a little kid! ^~^
I wanted to thank him and go to his room but I could hear him shouting on the phone...
