Diaries of a Distance

Chapter 34

I lay in bed tossing and turning. It truly was like Jae Wook and I just started dating again because I couldn't stop my heart fluttering and my face smiling at the thought of tonight's happenings. Unlike last disco though, we spent the whole night dancing together and it was like the fight never happened.

Why did we even fight in the first place? Wait... the kisses... me doing too much of it. Thinking back, why was I acting so desperate? It's raining so I lay on my left side to hide from the sight of it... that's right, I was afraid of forgetting him when I go back to Australia. ARGH! Why did I have to remember?! Knock knock. Now I'm going to lose sleep trying to figure out a way to solve all this. DOOOM Dooom. BANG BANG bang bang bang bang bang bang.

Man, what the hell is that noise? I turned on my right to see a dark figure standing outside in the rain. It pulled its hood back before I got the chance to realise that it was my beloved boyfriend standing in the rain. I leapt out of bed and slid the glass door back. He quickly stepped in dripping wet. I slid the door shut and ran to the bathroom. I came back with a white towel and handed it to him.

Jae Wook took the towel, "Thanks. Any slower, Yura."

Say what?? "What did you expect, turning up outside my bedroom at midnight in the rain like this? I know rain is said to be romantic but you're not looking too hot right now."

He bent over and shook his wet head causing a great amount of water drops to flick onto me. I stepped back disapprovingly. Jae Wook noticed this and said, "You don't like getting wet?"

"Not when I'm supposed to be dry", I replied.

Without a warning he hugged me tightly. I struggled to free myself.

"You're wetting me!" I complained.

He pressed his cheek onto my head. "That's the point."

I did what any girlfriend would do- hug him back even tighter and tickled him.

"Hehehe keke stop!" He ordered through laughter.

Since he still didn't let go of me I ignored him and continued.

"OK OK", Jae Wook said and I felt his arms withdraw.

I yanked the towel from his hands and dabbed my baggy blue t-shirt. Jae Wook took a step back and examined me.

"I've never seen you like this", he commented.

"You're not meant to see me in my PJs", I said sourly.

He shrugged. I wanted to look good in front of my boyfriend, not in freaken XXL shirts that almost cover the three quarter drawstring pants. Considering what I was wearing just an hour ago, this sure is a contrast. Truly embarrassing, I shouldn't have let him in.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him whilst he yanked the towel back and continued drying himself.

"I wanted a favour."

"Is it that urgent?"

"Yeah. Needs to be done tonight."

"What is it?"

Then Jae Wook gave me the strangest look. His eyes were full of mischief crossed with hungriness. He started slowly approaching me.

Taking a step back, I asked, "Uh... are you alright?"

Jae Wook put on a sly smile and continued that creepy slow walk.

"What's wrong with you? You're acting like a freak", I said, now a little scared by his actions.

Jae Wook pulled off his wet black hoodie revealing, by the looks of it, a much dryer white t-shirt. "I think you'd prefer me to be dry on your bed."
