My New Roommate (An EXO FF)

7) Cuddle Buddy (Part One)

Jihyun's POV 

Later on that night, I had come back to our room from the shower. I opened the door slowly, peaking my head in the door to see if Sehun was there. He was sitting on his bed cross legged, staring into space with his usual blank expression. He had a towel in his lap and his hair was still wet and just dangled in front of his eyes.

He's been like that for a while now. Like he's lost in thought or something. I wonder if he's okay. 

Feeling worried, I entered the room all the way and closed the door before heading towards him. If you're wondering why I'm so okay with being in here all alone with him and the door being closed, I'm not entirely fine. We used to be alone in rooms with the doors closed all the time so it doesn't worry me, it's just the times that something happens that makes me nervous. So as I approached his bed, my heart rate must have been triple what it normally is.

When I was close enough, I poked him lightly on his shoulder and his eyes widened for a moment before he looked up at me.

"Oh, it's just you, Jihyun. What's up?" he asked, smiling ever so slightly.

It's just you, huh? Right, just me. That hurts. I suppressed the bitter feelings I had and forced myself to smile back.

"Are you okay? You've been spacing out all night. Kyungsoo- um, hyung?- called you a space cadet."

"Jinjjah? Oh, I'm fine. Don't worry about me," he shook his head. I noticed his hands started twitching and he started staring off into the distance again. I starting frowning.

"Are you trying to shut me out? If so, I won't back down-"

"I'm not."

"Then what are you doing?"

"Nothing." He keeps evading what I'm saying. We were both silent for a moment before I began nodding.

"If you don't feel like talking to me, you can just say so. I'll understand. You should know that, after how long we've known each other."

"Jihyun-"

"Also, you should dry your hair. You're going to catch a cold. I wouldn't like that." I was about to turn to go to my bed when I felt Sehun grab my wrist and pulled me to a sitting position on his bed, right next to him. I didn't think my heart could beat any faster than when I had came over here, but here it was, going into overdrive.

"I want you to do it for me," I heard him say. I looked over at him and our eyes met for only a moment before I looked away and nodded.

"Gwenchana."

"Can you do it the way you used too?"

"Why not?" I tried to smile. It would probably take longer than using a blow drier, but it also wouldn't wake anyone up either. He offered me the towel that had been in his lap and I stared at for a while.

"Did you use this when you showered?" I asked slowly. He chuckled and shook his head.

"I knew you wouldn't touch it if I did," he answered with a smirk.

"So you knew that I would say yes and prepared for it?"

"Well, I thought-"

"Oh Sehun," I laughed. "Taking advantage of your me just because I'm nice and your being lazy?"

"I'm not taking advantage of you. I just wanted you to do it for me like you used to. I miss those times," he shrugged nonchalantly.

"Well, I can't say I don't miss those times too. And since you were so cute about it, I'll do it," I took the towel from his hands and then sat behind him. While I dried his hair, he decided to tell me about what was on his mind.
