Erratic Tendencies [Jumin Han]

[2/5]

[Name] sat upright on their bed, humming softly. Jumin was laying down.

His head was in [Name]’s lap and his eyes were closed. She gently ran her fingers through his spiky yet surprisingly soft locks. This gesture caused the built up tension in his stressed muscles from the hectic day to slowly fade away.

His breathing was soft almost enough to make it seem as if he was asleep.

The quietness and the comfort of the situation shared between [Name] and Jumin offered a long awaited and desired change of relaxation and peace. It was contenting.

[Name] seemed to have thought that Jumin had fallen asleep. For this reason, she felt startled when he spoke, and extremely embarrassed about what he had to say.

He opened his eyes and gazed at her with endearment.

“I love you,” Jumin said, smiling softly at her.

His words has caused [Name] to flush red to the point it appeared as if her ears would release steam. And when she stared at Jumin with wide eyes in surprise, she saw nothing but the purest of love which he held just for her.

He looked so sure and profound for the love he directed towards her that it overwhelmed her enough to glance away from him.

To his declaration, Jumin received no response, much less a flicker of stare to acknowledge the expression of his feelings. Instead, [Name] continued to stare away from him as if she was ignoring him. Worse, her humming and the movement of her fingers brushing gently through his hair came to an abrupt halt.

This left him extremely confused and Jumin frowned.

“[Name]?” He called, and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

She gave him no response.

This caused his fingers to twitch in slight anxiousness and his heartbeat began to beat slightly faster in fear that he had upset her. After all, Jumin, himself knew that he could come be overwhelming with how intense his emotions would become at times. He knew that he could be submerged under a sea of storming feelings to the point where his actions became vigorous and the consequences became unbearable.

However, momentarily, he wondered.

He didn’t say anything strange, did he?

“[Name],” He called. He turned in her lap and reached for her hand. He grabbed it gently and intertwined their fingers together.

“Did I say something strange? You’re not even looking at me… I know I came across as a tyrant before and I was not myself so I made you uncomfortable. I did not realize that my emotions were still overwhelmin-” He started, however, he was interrupted when [Name] pecked his lips to silence him.

It was quick and short. However, the unexpected gesture had surprised him.

Jumin’s eyes widened in surprise and confusion when he noticed that [Name]’s face was redder than before. And like before, she made no attempt to even flicker her eyes towards him. Instead, she tried to shield her face with her hair so he could not see or read her at all.

“It wasn’t you,” [Name] began shyly. She flickered her eyes towards Jumin before glancing away. Then, she gulped and shifted her eyes towards him once more. Only this time, she decided to hold his gaze and stare back at him.

“I was just surprised because your eyes spoke much more than your words. There was… Too much love. I mean, that’s not bad but it is just somewhat flustering. I never thought someone would feel so strongly about me. I was just surprised, that’s all. You didn’t do anything wrong,” She said, smiling and squeezing his hand for assurance.

Jumin smiled before he brought his hand up to his lips and kissed them gently.

“I’m glad,” He said, as both him and [Name] shared one last sweet smile for the night
