20 | As A Man...

Jimin POV.

- But you told me it was tomorrow! -I complain to myself while pointing to the screen of my computer, all angry.

That annoying hirer told me that I needed to submit the translation files by tomorrow but for some reason he tells me now that the deadline is tonight! And that is like what, five hours from now? I wanted to rest at night since I worked too much during the day... Since yesterday and today were the days the students kept returning from the holidays I also needed to keep the storage rooms checked, lock and unlock them since students needed to put their luggages inside and whatnot.

I'm exhausted.

And now extra translations to complete?

Right at that moment a knock is heard on the door. My eyes curiously grow as the door cracks.

- Kook-ah! -I exclaim in sudden happiness, forgetting all my worries when I see his pretty face after so long.

Like so long as in... a day and half?

- Jiminie hyung... -He speaks shyly while staying at the edge of the door, as if he is asking for my permission to come in.

- Get here! -I say standing up from my bed and open my arms wide, causing a big smile to appear on his face.

He closes the door of the room and skips towards me, hugging me tightly as I wrap my arms around him. I miss this cutie.

- Where have you been bunny, I didn't see you around. -I say cheerfully as I squeeze him in my arms. He giggles and reacts by snuggling closer.

- I was around here.

I pull him out of the hug but keep my arms around him; he is doing the same too. I take a good look at his pretty face that I missed staring at too much, and I notice that familiar blush settled on his cheeks. Goshh, I miss him so much and I'm only realizing it now that he is in my arms again. Is it normal for my heart to beat this fast?

We lock eyes and our smiles widen, soon causing us to both laugh breathily.

- I missed you bunny. -I say with a calm voice, to which he smiles shyly and looks down. I am frustrated. How can he be so cute, how? -Gosh, you are driving me crazy. -I speak without thinking, peck his cheek and breath into it, realizing the fast raise in his chest. -How come I missed you so much?

- I-I missed you too... -He speaks with a low tone matching mine. I peck his cheek again, since my lips are still there. And again. I'm not getting enough. -Jiminie-ssi... -He says shyly and turns his face around to my side, causing us to lock eyes but from much near this time.

This is making me sweat.

- Do you want to hang out? I want to stay with you for a bit.

I smile in agreement and nod immediately. How could I think of saying no?

- Wanna hang out at the rooftop?

He nods in quick motions, his hair fluffing up in the process and making me laugh. When he stops moving and stares at me innocently I caress his cheek, to which he immediately responds by leaning into my touch. How come he is so sensitive today?

We don't talk for a while. I am lost in his innocent beauty, my eyes circling over every corner of his baby face that I missed witnessing from up close every day. This makes my heart race, he does something to me that I felt with no-one else before. He gets shyer and shyer with my intensifying gaze and starts blushing intensely, embarrassed by his own shyness, looking down while pressing his lips into a cute smile.
