In Another Lifetime

I want you

He pulled me closer, bending his head and pressing his lips to mine in a soft kiss that made my knees weak and my heart flutter in my chest. Now I didn't want to go home, I just wanted to stay here in his arms.

~♡~

He ended the kiss, but held me close for a minute longer, then he released me, holding me away from him and looking into my eyes.

"Go home, and rest. I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"

I nodded. "You get some rest too, Tae, you deserve it. You all do."

"I will. Now go, you look like you're about to fall asleep standing there."

I smiled, and turned, walking away, pushing the door opened and heading for the elevator. Once I got to the lobby, I walked tiredly to the door, going out and yawning as I turned in the direction of my apartment.

I got inside, closing the door behind me, and bending to untie my sneakers, kicking them off and heading for the bathroom. Once I was finished, I moved to the bed, pushing my jeans off, strategically removing my bra, and climbing into bed in my t-shirt and underwear, too tired to do anything more.

I didn't know why I was so tired. I had barely done anything. I think it must just be the excitement of it all. I closed my eyes, then remembered I hadn't set a new alarm for tomorrow. I certainly didn't want to wake up at 4:55am again.

I leaned off the side of the bed, reaching for my jeans and pulling my phone out of the back pocket. I set an alarm for 6:30, and put my phone on the nightstand, then I rolled over on my side and pulled the covers up to my chin. Last thing I remembered was thinking that come morning, I would only have 25 days left. 

°°°°°

My alarm went off, and I swung my arm towards the nightstand, grabbing the phone and silencing it. I felt pretty good, which meant I must have fallen asleep pretty quickly and slept well. I stretched and sat up, looking around my tiny temporary apartment.

I needed a shower, so I got up, finding clean underwear and a bra and heading for the bathroom. Once I was showered and dried off, I padded back to the wardrobe, looking inside to see what I wanted to wear. I spotted a pair of cute overalls, so I pulled them out, and grabbed a purple long sleeved v neck pullover to go with them.

Not surprisingly, everything that I pulled out of the magic wardrobe fit me perfectly. I got dressed, then put my sneakers on, and brushed my hair, deciding to leave it down today. I'd always kept it long, which was why I usually pulled it up when I was working, just to keep it out of my way, but I liked to wear it down sometimes too. I put a hair band around my wrist, just in case.

I looked at the clock. It was 6:55. I'd wait another 15  minutes, then I'd go in to work. I walked to the fridge, realizing I was kind of hungry. I had no breakfast food, but what was served for breakfast  around here anyway?

I pulled out some of the containers that were there, opening them and tasting, deciding on one that wasn't bad, even cold. I had no idea what it was, but If I had to guess, I'd say it was some kind of chicken.

I stood in the kitchen, and ate half the container before closing it up and putting everything back. It was just about 7:10, so I grabbed my phone off the night stand, made sure my card and key was in my pocket, and out the door I went, taking the elevator down.

I reached the lobby, and pushed out the door, almost bumping right into someone. I gasped, and stopped short, looking up to see Taehyung smiling at me.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

I couldn't help but smile back. "I'm not in a hurry, and I'm going to work, where else?"
