I took a deep inhale and felt the corners of my lips turn up in satisfaction when I smelled JB's sweet scent. I fluttered my eyes open and tried to restrain myself from gasping loudly.
JB was peacefully sleeping but I took notice in the position that we were in. My hands held onto the front of his shirt and he had his arm wrapped securely around my waist.
What?
I released his shirt from my hands and tried to wiggle my way out of his hold but his grip only tightened.
Dammit.
"JB." I tapped his shoulder but he only grunted in response. "JB." I poked his cheek this time and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Yeah?" he asked, not even taking notice of the position we were in.
"Uhm... could you please let me go. I have to go to the bathroom." I said while avoiding his eyes. He looked right at me with a small smirk that crept on his lips.
"R-Right." he released me from his hold and I quickly scurried out of the room.
I locked myself in the bathroom and inhaled a deep breath. I slid down against the door and hugged my knees to my chest.
How could I let myself do that?
He probably felt so uncomfortable...
I stood up and walked over to the sink where I splashed my face with some cold water.
After a few minutes of collecting myself again, I went back to the bedroom to see him fully dressed and ready.
"I'll let you get dressed." He said once he noticed my existence. He brushed his hand against my side as he passed me which caused a blush to creep up my cheeks.
He did that on purpose.
I shook off the weird feeling and got dressed in my yesterday's outfit. I left the bedroom and saw him sitting in the living room, tapping away on his phone. I just looked down and awkwardly stood by the doorway.
"Why are you just standing there?" I heard him laugh. I cracked a tiny smile and sat down on the couch beside him. I kept my gaze on the floor, not being able to look him in the eyes.
"Jinyoung." He started.
"Mm?" I hummed in response.
"Do you feel uncomfortable about the position we were sleeping in earlier? Because you shouldn't be! I was aware that we were like that a-and I tried to wake you up at night because you were having a nightmare but then you-"
"JB." I laughed and he stopped talking. "It's fine. Let's just forget about it, okay?"
He took his bottom lip in between his teeth and nodded slowly. "Do you want breakfast?" He asked.
"I think I'll be fine. I should probably get going anyways." I cleared my throat and fiddled with my fingers in my lap.
"Want a ride?" He offered.
"No thanks. I'd rather take a walk right now." I replied and stood up quickly. I don't know what came over me but I started to feel a bit panicked. I put on my shoes and made sure that I had everything with me.
"Jinyoung, are you alri-"
"I'm fine. Have a good day and thank you for the wonderful night." I smiled and exited his apartment. I basically ran through the long hallway and took deep shaky breaths when I made it to the elevator.
I don't know what happened...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JB had texted me later that night, asking me if I was okay but I didn't respond. I don't know what's wrong with me but I just don't want to talk to him right now.
I don't know if it was because of the awkward position we were sleeping in, if it was embarrassment or just a plain anxiety attack out of nowhere. But I didn't hate the way we were sleeping to be honest.
I didn't hate when he rubbed his hand on my thigh.
I didn't hate how he purposely brushed against my side with his hand.
I didn't hate it at all.
In fact, I think I liked it.
A lot.
A smile crept on my lips as I thought back to that amazing feeling of his touch. I grabbed my phone from my bedside table and checked the messages that he had sent me.
JB: Hey! I just wanted to check if you were ok
JB: You just left in such a hurry and I thought that something was wrong..
JB: Anyways, pls reply when you get this
It was cute that he was caring. I typed a response to ease his nerves.
Me: I'm ok. Everything's fine, don't worry
He replied almost immediately.
JB: That's a relief. It didn't have anything to do with... you know..
Me: No. Don't worry ;)
JB: Good bc If I'm honest.. I kinda liked it
Me: Me too
JB: :)
I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding. It was such a relief knowing that he didn't find it weird or embarrassing.
