Comet | Min Yoongi

ch 18

Yoongi jolted awake with a grunt, quickly realizing he was still outside on his balcony. His eyes flew around as his brain caught up with its controlling part of It's job; he sat upright and found JiSun sleeping beside him. He was still buzzed and was finding it hard trying to wake up and find his sobriety at the same time. He already had his arm around her, and she was cuddled onto his side as two sat lazily in the seat. His original mission of going to the restroom on the back burner as he stared at the top of JiSun's head on his body with a sleepy smile.

He relaxed realizing his safe surroundings, slightly readjusting his arm around JiSun and squeezing a bit tighter. The scream from out in the city that woke him was a first, but he hugged a bit tighter and got comfortable enjoying the darkness ahead.

He drifted back in and out of sleep, never fulling going back to sleep as he battled an inner battle of checking the time on his phone. He had an entire day ahead to spend with his sleeping beauty; but he couldn't fight the feeling to count the seconds with her. Because, they did count. And he was dying to know how many he had left. He had so many things running through his head; all with JiSun as an underlying theme.

Minutes seemed to pass like hours as he sat there with his feet extended on the ottoman, blanket wrapped in the two. He debated how to escape in peace to use the restroom, maneuvering three failed attempts until the fourth he slid out from beside her with a gummy grin - complete with the appearance of his tongue to help with concentration during the exit. She didn't look very comfortable but he would be right back. He replaced the light blanket over her and walked quickly to his restroom.

Upon return to his bedroom balcony; his sleepy state was snapped away once his eyes did not find the person he had just so carefully left sleeping. He closed the balcony door after double checking his obvious vision problems, and almost in a frantic mother-has-lost-her-child moment he quickly searched the remainder of his house.

His shoes rustling on the floor stopped once he saw her on the couch. She didn't look awake yet, her eyes still closed and puffy, hair in its typical bedhead state and the red blanket that was once keeping them warm sat neatly folded beside her.

"Hey." He said gently and at the sound of his voice she put on a big smile with her eyes closed, slowly opening them.

"Hi." She smiled. Her sleepy eyes found his as Yoongi stood near the couch she sat on.

There was an awkwardness in the air as each waited for the other person to speak.

"Sorry, I woke up and you were gone." She said in a groggy manner with a smile, rubbing her eye and cheek with the back of her hand.

"No I just-" Yoongi was mumbling and embarrassed, he was flustered and then his world crashed down.

"I did what any girl would do." She said with Yoongi noticing her eyes her eyes searching for a clock but coming up empty. Yoongi's stunned and heartbroken confession showed JiSun that her words were not the words he had hoped to hear.

"Lin JiSun you are not just any girl." He reminded sternly.  "Of all the girls in the entire world, you are the only one allowed into this house." He laughed, rubbing his face in frustration as she stared down at her hands.

"I don't really want you to leave." He lay out his last line of hope. He hated he couldn't read her, couldn't tell what she was thinking. He wanted to ask but his half asleep state was winning and he couldn't do anything but want to be with her. In all hours at the night, all the time.

All of his past conversations with Jin flashed through his mind as he sat here staring blankly at one, waiting for an answer he knew he was going to hate.
