Too Much That it Hurts

Falling Deeper

Jessica’s POV

After a while, I inhale and stop my sobs. She holds my hands and makes them let go of her waist, before finally turning back from her first sitting position to face me. Sooyoung places her palms on my cheeks and slowly erase the left tears under my eyes. Her right hand then moves to the top of my head. Using the back of her hand she caresses the left side of my hair gently, fixing the mess I made with my appearance when I snuggled onto her back a while ago. I take a blank look at her face when she places the hand back again on my puffy cheek.

She looks back at me and makes a small smile while continuing to caress my cheeks. I hold the back of her hands with mine before closing my eyes. For a few seconds, or maybe minutes, we stay in the same position again, just like when I back hugged her before. It feels so warm and comfortable.

Her hands, with my hands still grab them, then go down by each of my sides and stop on my shoulders. She gently pushes them as she tries to make my upper body to be back on lying position on bed again. She let go her left hand from mine and pulls the blanket to cover my body until my chest. After that, that hand back to caress my right cheek softly.

Bringing my left hand, which still grabs her right one tightly, to the side of my body, she rises, then places herself sitting down on the floor with her chin on the side of my bed. She brings her other hand to join caressing my left hand, then looks at my face, which never stop eyeing her from the first. The sweet smile never leave her perfect face. I take out my right hand from under the blanket to reach for her face. Her smile grows wider for my touch, and that makes me smile too.

After a few times got hypnotized by her warmth, my eyes start to feel heavy. As the sleepiness eats me up, I feel her hands slowly removing themselves from mine…

“DON’T!!!”

I scream and quickly hold the hand beside me as I don’t want to let go Sooyoung’s hands. When I open my eyes, I realize that I’m sitting on the train. A lot of couples of eyes looking at me confusedly making me just blush and look down of embarrassment.

“A nightmare?” A soft voice I knew very well asks, when I turn to look at her, she’s looking at me worriedly. I smile to her and shake my head, “Aniya..”

It’s a sweet dream actually, a sweet flashback, at least before you left my room on that peaceful night.

Then I notice that I still hold her hand tightly as a result of my surprised by the dream ending. I blush and am about to let go of it and say sorry to Sooyoung, but the sounds from the speaker stop my movement.

“In a minute we will arrive at the final stop. Please make sure you take all your belongings with you….”

“Let’s go.” Sooyoung tighten my grab on her hand while pulling me up and leading me to the platform, making my blush gets worse.

After walking for a while from the station we arrive in front of a huge house. All along the road up until now, I’ve been smiling widely and never take my eyes off of our intertwined hands. Noticing me looking down for a little while, after pressing the bell next to the house door, she tries to find why. Following my gaze, she finally realizes what I’ve been staring all these time, then let go of my hand.

“S-sorry..” She stutters. I frown by the loose of her hand and then look at her face. There is a tint of adorable pink on her cheeks.

“It’s okay.” I smile shyly. You can hold it as long as you want.

Right at the time a woman in around 50 years old open the door, a wide smile crept on her face after seeing Sooyoung, which replied by the same smile from the girl beside me. She quickly takes Soo in her embrace. Sooyoung reciprocates the hug.
