24. Give Me Your (All)

Taewoo POV

(1 Month Later)

"I'm guessing you want cuddles?" I say, as Minnie tugs on my hands slightly. She nods. I lift my arm and let her snuggle up to me. I drop my arm on her shoulder and smile.

"Taewoo?" I hear her whisper.

"Yes?" I say, looking down at her.

"Are you ok with me sleeping with you? I've been doing it everyday for a month." I hear her say, sitting up.

"Yeah, I don't mind at all Minnie." I say, sitting up with her.

"Are you sure? I don't wanna have you be uncomfortable..." she mumbles. She looks down at her hands.

I gently grab her chin and make her look up at me.

"Minnie, if I was not okay with it, I wouldn't have let you sleep with me on the first night." I say, once she looks me in the eyes. She stares at me, silent. Her eyes go wide and her cheeks get a rosy tone to them. She lets out a breath and leans forward.

Before I can do anything, she kisses me. My eyes go wide for a moment before I close them and slip my hand to her cheek. She pulls away for a moment, bringing her hand to her lips.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I don't know what I was thinking! I'm so sor-" I cut her off.

"Minnie, look at me!" I say, grabbing her hands. She doesn't budge.

"Minnie, please! Look at me!" I say, desperately. She still doesn't move. I take her chin in my hand and pull her head up. Once her eyes meet mine, I smile. I lean forward and hug her, kissing her cheek.

"I'm glad you kissed me. It makes it easier for me to know your feelings." I whisper.

"So your okay with me liking you?" she says, pulling away.

"Of course, especially if I feel the same way." I say, smiling down at her.

"You... You like me?" she mumbles, eyes wide.

"Are words not enough?" I say, leaning closer. When she doesn't answer, I lean in closer and kiss her softly. I pull her closer to me. Almost like a spark taking flame, she crawls into my lap and wraps her arms around my neck. I wrap an arm around her hips and one slips to the base of her neck, holding the kiss longer. I pull away and rest my forehead against hers.

"Of course I like you, Minnie. I've liked you since day one. The minute you walked in our door, I knew something was different about you. You stood out more from the others. And you were so smart. Then when you asked to sleep with me, I thought I was dreaming. Then I woke up with you in my arms and you cuddled in my side, hugging me tight. I knew from that moment I was going to have to hide my feelings. I never thought you would like me back. Wait, is this a dream?" I gasp.

"No, this isn't a dream. A dream wouldn't make someone heart race at hearing the person they like say those words!" she says, hugging me again. I kiss the top of her head.

"So, Minnie. Would you be my girlfriend?" I whisper in her ear.

"If that means you would be my boyfriend." she says, giggling. I pull away and kiss the tip of her nose.

"Of course." I whisper. I pull her a bit closer and kiss her one more time, before I flop back. I clutch my chest.

"I thinking I am dying. I just saw an angel."I exclaim. She laughs. I grab her hand and pull her down on top of me from sitting on my hips. I rest my hands on her hips.
