Your Love is Unkind

Sleepover at Subin's

Subin's dorm was like entering an adolescents room. Clothes was scattered everywhere, his xbox one in the middle of the clutter. No seats available except for a corner on his bed that he had cleared of for me.

Subin begins to pick up the mess on the bed as I inspect the room with my eyes. And suddenly it hits me, Subin was preparing the room for us to sleep. When he said "stay" my mind didn't register. I thought of texting Byungchan but the thought of sleeping over intrigued me. And maybe for the short time that I waited, I let my imagination run wild.

"Ok, ready!" Subin announces proudly as he directs me to my side of the bed.

I kick of my shoes and remove my socks first as I notice Subin peering over his covers. I pretended not to notice as I removed my shirt slowly, revealing my back first. A small grunt slipped out of Subin, and my smile widen as I turned around. "I knew you'd like that," I cackle as I throw the shirt over Subin's face.

Subin laughter fills the room and his rosey cheeks appear in embarrassment. But he doesn't let that stop him from being himself. "Take it off," He yells pointing at the pants. Without hesitation I continue my faux striptease and the pants drop to the floor. As I finish, I take a bow and make my way to my side of the bed.

"Boooooooo", he shouts in disapproval. "I want my money back". I squint my eyes in protest, "oh okay, you want the grand finale?"  I throw off my blankets and just as I stood a force pulled me back down.

Subin loved getting a rise out of people. He liked saying edgy things that would shock people. But he wasn't use to getting shocked himself.
He held onto my arm, "It was just a joke," He assured me. " I know," I responded confidently, "I was only going to turn off the light."
