they walk leisurely to the shower, tonight is going be a steamy night.
jimin turns on the shower at the press of a button, preparing for it to reach the perfect pressure and temperature. his heart races with the speed of light as his eyes land on the woman in front of him - barely covered, yet hardly vulgar.
the water begins to pour down, hastily and cold as hell, but succeeds in concealing the mad drumbeats tumbling within his chest.
"s-sorry dear but...i need your bare skin revealed." his gaze avoids hers, rosy blushes become more apparent words after words.
did not catch a syllable, seulgi tilts her head with a questionable look.
hot steam condenses heavy sweats on jimin's cheekbones, "i-i mean...would you mind...get undressed?" the man clears his throat as he points at the velvet blanket wrapping around seulgi's body.
she smiles softly as usual, as a sign of approval.
no warning, she strips down. seulgi looks like a goddess of war with that charm she possesses, strong and bewitching. her skin resembles the texture of smooth caramel that he longed to touch, to run a hand over her slender arm.
adrenaline activates jimin's sympathetic nervous system, urging his heart to beat faster. he couldn't think of a thing, but all he knows is that he loves it, he is addicted to it.
the woman steps into the bathtub, her honeyed skin basks in the heat, passing the delicate golden brown. against it her black hair gives her a rustic look rather than a gothic, which her raven eyes blend right in perfectly.
the water drips by her side and her mind fades into dullness. the feeling of the steamy water calms her, turning everything into a foggy illusion. her mind swirls, as if it is being taken of things. her eyes fall closed over and over, each time showing her images and photographs, like she is standing under an everlasting waterfall. even so beautiful, but it can never last, she fears.
there is a milky way lying under his monolid eyes at the glamour of her bare skin. her naked form has been in its state for the whole day, yet the flutters always occur like the first time whenever his gaze encounter it.
the drops make their way to her hair softly, then slowly down to her body and the perfect figure she has. her perfect curves get him mesmerized and envy from the point of a man. a woman with such figure, the luckiest one indeed.
is it happening for real? he wonders.
what would it feel like if that skin pressed onto his bare one when they cuddled? he wonders.
"jimin?" seulgi calls out his name, awakening him from all the deep thoughts.
"y-yes?" he stutters. despite getting back to reality, her look keeps driving him tipsy over and over again.
she sits in the bathtub, quietly waiting for the anthropologist. still in his clothes, jimin swallows back his nervousness then slowly joins seulgi in this misty humidity.
"e-excuse me," he clears his throat, "i-i might have to touch you now." to which seulgi nods her consent.
he sits behind her, taking quite a moment to enjoy the view of her back. but once his palms approach, his stare switches to another, letting those fingers absorb the sensation themselves.
