Redamancy || Na Jaemin ( on hold )

Chapter 5

Midnight Shenanigans

Mark and Haechan were snoring on the mattresses on the floor. And I was staring at them wondering if I should smack them with the pillows or just pinch their noses like I usually did. But ultimately neither of them worked.

I searched for my slippers under the bed and walked down the stairs to the refrigerator. In the dark I saw a silhouette sipping from a mug staring out from the kitchen's large window.

"Boo." I tapped on his shoulder making him jump up in his seat.

"Ah kamjagiya!" He stared at me in surprise with a hand on his chest and breathing out.

"What a scaredy-cat." I chuckled

"Who wouldn't be scared of you." He retorted.

"Na Jaemin!" I smacked on his arm but he didn't move nor flinch.

"Weak." He made a face.

"Annoying." I imitated but he only laughed.

"Really annoying." I blinked at him furiously. "Why are you smiling?"

"You're cute."

There was complete silence for a second that seemed to be like eternity, as I absorbed what he just said. My ears and cheeks were obviously so hot and flushed but I only wished for him to not see it.

I cleared my throat. "Anyway, what are you doing here?"

"Coffee." He lifted up the mug with an "isn't it obvious" face.

"Jaemin, it's 3 am. You don't plan on sleeping tonight?" I walked around the table after switching on a dim light and took a seat across him.

"What about you?" He slid aside the mug and looked at me intently.

"Uh I just can't sleep.."

"Same." He gave a smug smile before taking another sip.

I smiled back at him as I watch him casually scroll through his phone while drinking his coffee in the middle of the night, sitting across from me, giving me a sense of familiarity like I'd known him forever when it's just been a few days. I was glad that he was settling in. We were now way past the initial awkwardness we had between us that even this absolute silence blanketing us seemed to be so comfortable.

"Hey do you have Netflix?" He lifted his head from his phone.

The next hour and a half we were watching exo on men on a mission while clutching on to our stomachs unable to contain our laughter. Turns out Jaemin and I stan the same ult group and also have the same bias. Exo and Baekhyun.

"Baekhyun! Why are you like that?!" I rolled over the couch laughing and accidentally toppled the cup of coffee which stood like a tiny barrier between me and Jaemin.

"Shit! I'm so sorry." I jumped up and looked at his white shirt now covered in coffee stains.

"Chill it's okay!" He chuckled. "Luckily it's gone cold."

"Of course it has. You just left it there for hours. Ugh go take off your shirt." I waved at him signalling him to go.

"You're right." He nodded.

My eyes widened in horror on his attempt to remove the shirt right on the spot. He had even lifted it up halfway through revealing his nicely sculpted abs.

I grabbed the nearest pillow and hurled it at him. "Na Jaemin! You pervert! What the heck do you think you're doing?!"

"But you asked!" He shielded himself with one arm and pulled down his shirt with the other.
