Breathless

Chapter 3

*Listen to Dream Glow by BTS while reading this chapter*

I stayed up and edited all of the pictures that I took. I finished them all before turning everything off and going into my apartment for the night. I eat my dinner in silence and only have one thing on my mind. Jongsuk. I just met him, but he's making me feel all of these things in just these couple days. I sigh as I eat. Why am I feeling this way and why is my body betraying me like this? He is making it really hard to just be friends and see him as only a client.

I finish eating and do my dishes. I go into my bathroom and take a shower. I go into my bedroom and look at myself in my mirror with my towel on. I start thinking of Jongsuk and how it would feel if he was with me right now. I quickly look away from the mirror as my body starts responding. My heart picks up speed just at the thought of being with him. I turn away from the mirror and get ready for bed. Before I even lay down I turn on my alarm and set it early, so that I am up before Jongsuk will get here this time. I want to be ready before he gets here from now on.

My alarm goes off in the morning and I almost shut it off and go back to sleep. I remember who is going to be here soon. I instantly sit up in my bed. Jongsuk is going to be here soon and he's going to drive me crazy. Maybe I should do the same to him.

I get out of bed and walk over to my closet. I pick out a cute crop top and high-waisted shorts. I put these on and then put my hair into a messy bun. I look at myself in the mirror and bite my lip. Let's see how today goes.

I make myself breakfast and eat it quietly just waiting for a knock on my studio door. When there finally is a knock my heart jumps. Jongsuk is here. I put my dishes in the sink before leaving my apartment and going into my studio.

I open my studio door and Jongsuk is the only one on the other side. His manager is not with him today. I look around him then finally look up at him. He meets my eyes and starts to smile. I find myself biting my lip in response.

"You're not in pajamas today." He says while scanning my body. I smile softly.

"I set my alarm early last night so that wouldn't happen again." I tell him and turn around to start going into my studio.

"Well look at you," he remarks and follows me. "The pajamas were cute though." I smile as I go to my desk.

"Not professional when meeting your manager though." I reply.

"Professional? You call this professional?" He asks and I turn around to see him looking at what I'm wearing. He looks up at me.

"What's wrong with this?" I ask him. I look up at him and our eyes meet.

"I wasn't going to say this so soon, but you drive me fucking crazy." Jongsuk tells me. We look at each other for a few seconds without saying anything. Should I tell him how I feel? My heart beats faster and I glance away from him.

"The feeling is mutual." I reply softly and look at him again to see what his reaction is. He smirks slightly, but doesn't say anything. I turn away from him and pick up my camera.

"Wait, before we start, can I get your number?" Jongsuk asks and comes to stand in front of me. He holds his phone out to me. I nod and look up at him.

"Give me yours too." I say and grab his phone. I put my number into it and then hand him my phone. He puts his number into mine and hands it back to me.

"Okay let's start." He says. I pick up my camera.

"What are the plans for today?" I ask him. I glance over at him to see him watching me. Jongsuk turns to the clothes and picks out a button up shirt. He takes off his current shirt and puts on the button up. He leaves it unbuttoned and looks at me again.

"You ready?" He asks. I force myself to look away from his chest.

"Um yeah." I reply and get my camera ready.

He starts posing as I take the pictures. He keeps making eye contact with me as I'm taking his pictures. Jongsuk starts to move his hand through his hair and bite his lip as he looks at me. I try to focus on taking his picture as my body heats up in response. I take a few more pictures before stopping.

I'm about to turn around when Jongsuk stops me by grabbing my arm. He takes the camera out of my hand and sets it down. Before I know it my back is against the studio wall. He intertwines his hand in mine and presses it against the wall next to my head. I look up at him and my heart just stops. He is so close to me right now. He is so close that I can feel the heat from his body. Our eyes lock and he leans his head down.

"I want to taste you." He says softly. I just stare into those eyes. I want to taste him too. I want to feel him. He leans down more and puts his lips close to my ear. "Let me."

My heart rate spikes. He lowers his head slightly to my neck. Jongsuk's lips lightly graze my neck and I gasp as electricity goes through my body. I reach out and place my free hand on his bare chest. The feel of his chest under my hand sends another rush of electricity through me. I finally come to my senses and lean my head towards his.

"We can't do this." I say softly. Jongsuk slowly moves away from me and releases my hand from his. I step away from him. My heart still racing and my body still buzzing with the need to be with him. He looks at me.

"I'm going to get going." He says before turning and walking to the door. I don't move and I just watch him leave. Did I just ruin everything?

I place my hand over my heart. Still going crazy. The feel of his lips still lingering on my skin.
