"Who's it gonna be, Lillian?" Jimin looks at me with pleading eyes. "Me or Him?"
It was a normal Christmas Eve in New York when I bumped into a man I never knew I'd fall in love with. Ever since then, my life has become a real life k-drama. It use...
My apartment was quite small. I mean, the living room is essentially just the kitchen and dining room with a few cushioned chairs and a TV. My flooring was all hardwood, so if I made him sleep on the floor, then that'd make me a bad person...right?
But sleeping in my bed was not an option.
As I was thinking, Jimin snaked his way closer to me.
"Hey, Lillian? You still there or?" His hand rested against my shoulder and shook me a little. I snapped my head up and gasped by how close he was. Our noses were centimeters apart. Startled, I backed away and broke from his touch.
"Y-you can sleep in my room...on the floor."
I quickly made my way to the closet where I kept the extra bedding. Jimin already found his way to my room. He stood there patiently like a puppy waiting for a treat. I dropped the blankets and pillows on my bed with a huff, and Jimin just laughed at me, moving closer. My heart panicked, and I tried moving back, but the bed stopped me. He slowly leaned in towards my face, his lips nearly touching mine. I shut my eyes tightly, and can almost feel him smiling. Confused, my eyes open, and I see him stepping backward with a feather in his hand.
"You had something in your hair." He says with a sly grin. My cheeks turn into tomatoes and I try to mask my embarrassment with laughter.
"HaHAHA! Hilarious!"
Jimin's eyes widen from my sudden outbursts and he breaks out laughing.
"What'd you think I was doing ?!"
"what do you mean? I don't think- I didn't think anything!" I plaster a huge smile on my face, praying that he doesn't see through me.
Jimin reaches over for the blanket and begins setting up.
"You're something else, Lillian." He says it quietly, but I can hear him perfectly. I jokingly scoff, and grab a few pillows, helping him.
~~~
We finished setting everything up, and finally got into bed. The only noises were the rumbling metals coming from the A/C. I shut my eyes multiple times, but I could not fall asleep. My mind wandered to the many thoughts trapped in my head.
Why hasn't Aidan messaged me back? Was Jimin sleeping already? Did the police ever check-in?
Aidan and I were supposed to meet early the next morning, but I'm not sure that'll happen. My body shifts over to the side, and I see Jimin sleeping soundlessly on the floor.
What'll Aidan think if he sees him?
~~~ The Next Morning ~~~
The sun peeks through the curtains, and the traffic noise from the streets wake me up. I stretch my arms in the air and let out a little noise as I allow my arms to plop on the bed. My eyes fix onto the ceiling before I actually decide to get up and head to the bathroom. I quickly brush my teeth and then hop into the shower. So far the morning was going smoothly. Wrapping my towel around me, I head out to my room. As I turn the corner of my bed, my heart stops.
Jimin.
How could I forget?!
He was still sleeping soundly on the floor. His bed was set up along my closet; I had no way to get to my clothes. Nervously, I tightened my grip on my towel and attempt to crawl over him. Jimin murmured gibberish and turned my way, eyes still closed. My heart jumps, and I freeze up. My legs were on either side of him, in a straddling position, but I was almost over. Before I could lift my leg around, I feel a heavy force gravitate me towards his chest. Jimin wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me down.
Just in time, I scream.
"JiMin!" Almost instantly his eyes open, and the force stops. Our lips brush against each other before I sit up straight.
A smirk creeps onto his face. "Well, good morning." His eyes travel down my body, and I realize I'm still in a towel... and still on top of him. Widening my eyes, I swiftly make it to the other side.
"Sorry, I was j-just trying to get to my clos-" The doorbell interrupts my explanation, and both of our attention is on the door.
"LILLIAN, are you there?" A voice yells through the door and I immediately jump up.
Aidan!
I run towards the door, but stop mid-way. Jimin gets up and I give him 'the look'.
"Stay in my room. Don't come out no matter what, okay?" I hurriedly say, pushing him back into the room.
With the bedroom door closed, I finally make my way towards Aidan.
"Lillian! Answe-" The door swings open and Aidan is revealed with a bouquet of lilies. Relieved, he pulls me towards him and wraps his arms around me.
"Y-you weren't answering your phone! I was so worried 'cause the last text you sent was when you said you were going out to Times Square. Ah, I'm just glad you're okay." He kept his arms around me, but then released and held my shoulders back. "Did you forget about our date this morning?" Aidan's eyes look me up and down, and he lets out a low chuckle. Embarrassed, I tighten the towel and look down.
"I just... lost track of time, I guess." Aidan walks past me laughing. He heads toward the kitchen and sets the flowers down.
"It's no biggy. I can wait for you to get ready." A smirk crept onto his face and he bit his lip before coming closer. "Or we can stay here," His hands snake around my waist and pull me in, closing any space between us. He locks his lips onto mine, but I pull away.
"Aidan, stop. It's way too early for that." I let out a small laugh and walk to the counter to pick up the lilies. They were beautiful, and my favorite. I stuck my nose into the bouquet and inhaled the fresh scent.
"I love them... Thanks." Aidan watches from where I left him and grins.
"Beautiful flowers for my beautiful girl." He walks towards me and caresses my cheek. "Merry Christmas, Lillian. " leaving a small kiss on my forehead, he adds, " Now go get ready so we can have breakfast at your favorite bakery, yeah?"
Suddenly, a loud thud is heard from my bedroom. Aidan furrows his brows and looks at me questioningly.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa...Whaddya got in there?" He starts walking towards the bedroom, and in that moment I just pray.
"No, WAIT!" I throw my body in front of the door, keeping him from entering.
" Your gift is in there! It's a surprise!"
Aiden looks me in the eyes with a sense of wonder, almost as if he's searching for an answer, but eventually breaks the tension with a smile.
"OOOOh !!! I get it! PffTT, I'll wait in the car while you get ready... " Aidan pulls my head in and leaves a wet kiss on my forehead before walking out.
Shit...
