New World | SOOKAI

Chapter 17

I groaned softly, rolling onto my front with the sound and feel of movement next to me, but I was honestly too drained to open my eyes to it yet. I heard a small metal noise and soon felt the mattress beneath me move again and I eventually peered my eyes open to see Soobin smiling at me on his side. He almost took my breath away with the expression. Did I really die last night and now awoke within heaven?

"Good morning, beautiful" Soobin breathed out at me, deep relaxation in his voice.

I wasn't dead, but I was certainly in heaven, regardless.

I grinned at him, the previous night flooding every empty space in my head as I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him headfirst into my chest. He gave me a small laugh and nestled up against me, his hands resting around my waist. I felt so heavy. Every muscle in my body ached from our moonlit night together. I didn't get much sleep but I didn't feel the need for any more of it either. Being awake with Soobin seemed so much better than any dream my imagination could ever put together.

"Good morning, Soobin" I said as I placed a gentle kiss into the messy strands of the top of his head.

"Do you have work today?"

"Hmm.." What day was it, even? Thursday?

"No. Thursdays I no longer work. Those were one of the days my boss took away from me."

I didn't even know if I still needed my job. As much as I had accepted my fate last night, Soobin and I hadn't discussed it further. We... hadn't discussed much, at all, actually, being the activities between us were 99% physical.

"I suppose you're stuck with me all day instead," Soobin said lightheartedly. I had never heard that tone to his voice before. I truly had made him happy and I smiled at the thought.

"I think I prefer that option more."

I soothingly traced my fingertips in small patterns across his back, feeling a few particularly favourite moments of mine from the previous night creep their way across my mind.

"What did you wish to do with your day then?"

I smirked to myself at the thought of once more turning Soobin into a whimpering, orgasmic mess under my hips like he previously had been. Was "you" an acceptable answer to his question?

"Nothing that requires getting out of bed for."

I heard Soobin try to stifle a small giggle into my bare chest and felt it become warm from his cheeks that I guessed were now blushing. A few blissful and quiet moments passed between us before he eventually spoke to me, the sound of his voice peaking slightly with curiosity.

"Kai.. can I show you something? I would like your opinion."

"Mm? Yeah, of course."

He rolled away from me and bent down to rummage through his clothes on the floor for something. I admired the long line of his body and fought back the notion of grabbing those hips of his back into mine. He rolled back and had my phone in his hand that he had kept on him from the previous night. He was dialling a number and held the phone up to his ear before passing it to me.

"What do you make of this noise?"

I took my phone from him and listened intently, hearing the sound of a disconnected line beeping furiously.

"It usually means the line on the receiving end has been disconnected."

I saw Soobin's expression change from curiosity to worry.

"Who are you trying to reach?"

".. Yeonjun. He's the only other immortal acquaintance I have a friendly relationship with."
