*Listen to You Know by Jay Park while reading this chapter*
I wake up slightly to the sound of my name outside my room. I almost turn over and go back to sleep, but I hear it again.
"Tabby!" The voice sounds like Jongsuk and I instantly open my eyes and sit up in my bed. I look over at my bedroom door.
"Jongsuk?" I ask.
"Yes, it's me." He says. I look at the time on my phone.
"Oh shit. Jongsuk, I'm so sorry." I quickly get out of my bed and head to my bedroom door.
"It's okay, I figured you.." I open the door and look up at him. He pauses to look down at me. "Needed the sleep." He smiles as soon as he's done talking.
"I'm sorry." I say again softly. He reaches his hand out and lightly touches my cheek.
"It's really okay." Jongsuk says. I smile softly.
"What did your manager say?" I ask. I hope he's not mad about this. Jongsuk shakes his head.
"Nothing. I told him you probably didn't hear us cause you're busy." He says. I nod and start to turn around.
"I'm going to get dressed. I will hurry." I turn away before he can say anything. He closes my door and I grab my clothes quickly. I put on a pair of black skinny jeans and a white t-shirt. I go into my bathroom to brush my teeth and fix my hair. I lightly braid my hair before finishing in my room and going into the rest of my apartment. Jongsuk is sitting at my table and looks up at me when he hears me come into the room.
"I was going to make you breakfast, but didn't know if you actually wanted any." He tells me. I smile and walk into my small kitchen.
"I'll make toast. Want any?" I ask and look back to see his response. He nods and smiles. I turn back and focus on making some toast for us. After the toast is done I butter the slices and then hand some to Jongsuk.
"Thank you." He says and takes a bite. I hold one piece and put the other in my mouth. I gesture for him to follow me into my studio. I go into my studio with him following after me. I sit down at my desk and turn on my computer. He comes to sit down next to me. Both of us quiet while we finish our toast. I finish first and grab my camera. I look over at Jongsuk.
"What do you want to do today? Any ideas?" I ask.
"You want me to pick again?" He asks. I nod.
"I want you to be involved in what you do everyday." I tell him. He smiles at this.
"This is what I like about you. You're not bossy and I get to be creative too."
"Exactly." I reply and smile. He stands up.
"Can I go shirtless for this one?" He asks and glances at me. I shrug.
"I don't care." I reply. The thought of seeing him shirtless makes me warm inside.
"I'm sure you do care." He replies. I look at him for a second.
"This is your photo shoot." I reply back and stand up with my camera.
"Is it going to make your heart flutter?" He asks and I look up at him fully this time. Our eyes meet.
"You make my heart flutter no matter what, so what's the difference." I tell him. Jongsuk searches my face and then smiles sweetly.
"Are you confessing right now?" He asks.
"Maybe." I reply. As he looks at me he steps closer to me. I keep our eye contact when he gets closer to me.
"I want to kiss you." He says.
"Jongsuk.."
"And be with you." He says softly.
"I want all of those things too." I reply.
"Then why aren't we?" He asks.
"I'm afraid of your manager." I tell him and he puts his hand on my cheek.
"Don't worry about him. We can do this." Jongsuk says.
"I just don't want him to find out and then never be able to see you again."
"If what we feel is real then who cares. Let's live in the moment." He says softly. Damn he's good at this. My eyes stay locked on his.
"I want this so bad.." I tell him. I grab part of his shirt in my hand. "But promise me that we'll be okay." Jongsuk takes his hand from my cheek and grabs my hand on is holding his shirt. He intertwines our fingers together.
"I promise and even if we're not at some point, we will get through it." He reassures me. I search his face and know that he is being sincere with me.
"Okay." I say with a small nod. I'm going to do this even though it scares me. Jongsuk starts grinning and lowers his head towards mine.
"Can I kiss you now?" He asks softly. I don't respond, but grab the front of his shirt and pull him further down to me. His lips slowly touch my own and the electricity just runs right through me. So this is how it feels to kiss someone.
Jongsuk kisses me slowly and we both seem to be taking it all in. The feel of our lips together. The skin on skin contact between us feels more amazing than I would have ever thought. He takes his face away from my own and grins.
"Okay let's do this!" He says happily and turns away from me. As he starts to walk away from me, he lifts his shirt over his head and discards it. I take this as a cue that we are going to start his photo shoot now. I grab my camera and then watch him get ready. I find myself biting my lip. So we're actually doing this.
The whole time we are shooting I couldn't help but think, "he's mine."
