39: Tides

Irene's POV

I woke up to the dissatisfaction of pain in my neck, as my head was uncomfortable. I reached for the pillow and moved it more towards the crook of my neck. The pillow however, felt different?

It was very warm, soft yet harder than a normal pillow. I was too lazy to open my eyes so I left the curiosity linger in my head. That is until I stretched my arms to feel long, warm sausages at the end of my extremely long pillow...

I opened my eyes to see my pillow by my feet and Taehyung's arm supporting my head. I was about to get up, as I was very uncomfotable with the contact our bodies were making. His head was placed perfectly in the crook of my neck and his soft, hot breaths were sending a strange sensation through every inch of my body.

We were spooning. His body was pressed against mine. One of his legs had found its way between my thighs. His foot was right under my heel, while the other was in-between my feet, our toes touching and fiddling with each other. His hand wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to his warm and hard chest.

I'm surprised he hasn't woken up yet considering I have already moved my head and my arms so much. In this position, it's very easy to tell how many breaths your partner takes.

I sat up slowly, not wanting to wake him up in this awkward situation. I was trying to figure out how we ended up like this, so close to each other. But the last thing I can remember was that he was treating my foot and were talking.

Before we went to bed we made a border of pillows in between us so we could separate ourselves from each other. It was mostly to avoid the physical contact between us. But all of the pillows we had set up were all at the door of the tent. I don't get it. I didn't do it. I know he didn't do it because he hates me... Or did he?

FLASHBACK

I took the extra pillows and set them up half way in-between the mattress to give us and equal amount of space at night.

"What are you doing?" Taehyung asked.

"Making a border."

"Why?"

"To separate us... why else?"

"Oh." He said leading us into silence for a couple minutes.

"What will you do if I accidentally cross the border?" He asked.

"Well it's not like I can shoot you."

"Good point." He said looking oddly relieved.

END OF FLASHBACK

He was uneasy about the whole border between us last night. It would make sense if he moved it. Maybe he's just a byuntae.

I turned my head and stared at him. I was examining his whole face and his unique facial features.

His fringe was exposing his forehead which was rarely ever shown. His exotic mono lid eyes which were closed, exposed his long eyelashes. He suddenly moved his eyebrows, showing that line of discomfort on everyone's forehead when they furrow their eyebrows. His hand, the one that was my pillow, was reaching out, trying to find me.

I didn't want him to catch me starring at him so I laid back down, this time facing him. I could examine, maybe even admire his face better this way. Satisfaction returned on his face again. His face looked calmer so I continued examining him.

I moved down to his nose. His cute nose that has his mole. Don't get me wrong. I love the mole right by his right eye and his lips, but the nose mole is just so adorable.

My eyes ran along his shape jawline and up to his ear. I've always admired his triangle ear piercing. It suited him a lot. It just made him look more boyfriend material.
