Jaebum's P.O.V
I woke up to the feeling of a hammer pounding into my skull, I sunk back into my pillow attempting to ease the pain.
what a nice way to start the day.
I sat up slowly, wincing in pain as my vision came back into focus. I definitely wasn't feeling great ; a pounding head, blocked nose, sore throat and a fever.
I wrapped the duvet around me in an attempt to stop shivering but to no avail.
A glass of water alongside two pills on my bedside table to my left catch my eye.
Just as I finish taking them, the clatter & footsteps downstairs startle me, causing me to furrow my eyebrows in confusion.
I place the glass back on the table and unravel myself from my duvet before making my way downstairs.
YuJin's P.O.V
fuck!
I just had to drop the damn fork didn't I.
I curse under my breath before grabbing a new one and placing it on the perfectly set up breakfast table with all hangover and sickness cures I could conjure since 5am in the morning.
As I once again stand there, admiring my work of art and smiling to myself, I fail to realise that Jaebum had woken up and already made his way down.
My heart jumped out of my chest when I felt a hand tap my shoulder and I jolted back.
"Holy shi-" I gasped before meeting Jaebum's familiar face.
"I live here too you know?" He chuckled.
hey that was a chuckle.
a genuinely amused chuckle.
an almost laugh.
That alone put a smile on my face, "How are you feeling?" I ask, concern replacing the huge grin.
Though before he could even reply, he began to sneeze continuously, followed by sniffles which caused me to frown.
I quickly placed my hand on his forehead only to feel it intensely burning.
"You need to eat and then take rest, here sit down, I'll go get you a blanket" though before I could rush off, I felt his hand yank me back causing me to fall onto his chest.
"Sit and eat." he said, his dark eyes refusing to detach from mine. I simply nodded before sitting opposite him & picking up utensils.
I waited to see if he'd say anything about last night, yet there was nothing. hm. maybe he has forgotten.
As I finish putting away the now clean dishes, Jaebum stands there watching my every move as though he wants to say something which confuses me.
"I don't regret anything I said last night YuJin."
well fuck he remembers.
I almost drop the last plate at his statement, before I can do anything clumsy I put it away and slowly turn around.
"W-what are you talking about?" I ask, attempting to play dumb yet nervousness was oozing from my tone of voice.
He runs a hand through his hair, knowing full well I was acting a fool before inching closer to me, his eyes delving into mine.
"I like you Lee YuJin, I like you so much it's driving me crazy & I don't know what to do." His voice sounded desperate as he scratched his nape nervously. I had never seen such a vulnerable side of Im Jaebum & I honestly wanted to do nothing more than just hold him and kiss his face.
I looked into his eyes and I've never seen such bright darkness, it was truly mesmerising.
I anxiously chewed on my bottom lip, wanting to confess to him but not being able to find the correct words.
I looked up to see him staring at my lips.
"Don't do that." He warned, his voice a dangerously low growl.
fuck.
"Do what?" I asked, completely oblivious as to why he was so triggered.
"You know what." He said, his eyes still lingering on my lips. "Be careful, I might just kiss you." His voice a hushed, low tone.
My heart began to erratically beat out of control as he inched forward. A sudden surge of bravery overcame me as I moved closer.
His hot breath was fanning my cheek, leaving magical trails of tingles. We delved into each other's eyes for a moment before looking back down at his pillowy pink lips and inching even closer till our noses were brushing.
Until at last, he closed the painstaking gap between us, his soft lips connecting with my own.
The world around us fell away, leaving only the two of us. It was slow and soft, comforting in ways that words would never be. His hand rested delicately below my ear, his thumb caressing my cheek as though he was afraid I'd break under his touch as our breaths mingled. I ran my fingers down his spine, pulling him closer until there was no space left between us and I could feel the beating of his heart against my chest.
We slowly pulled away, our foreheads leaning against one another - a smile painted across my face.
The sound of our slightly heavy breathing was replaced by Jaebum's voice, "Its ok if you don't like me I-"
I shut him up with another quick peck.
"I like you too idiot."
