"I'd like two rooms for tonight please"What. Did. He. Just. Say?!
________________________________________________________________________________
Staring at him in disbelief, I tug my arm out of his grip.
"What are you doing?" I hiss-whisper at him. He turns around with a confident look on his face. That isn't a good sign.
"It was obvious you were lying and you probably missed the last bus too" he pauses, "just let me buy you a room tonight, that way I can repay you back! Okay Min-jie?"
Wait a minute. My name?! How did he know that?!
"How do you know my name? Are you... stalking me?!" My face twists into rage.
Pure rage. I've dealt with guys like this before, drunk and wanting to hit on me so badly, but Jaebom, my best friend, was always there to help me. I have nobody right now.
"Wait what?! No! You're misunderstanding" he laughs and smiles a decent one.
What a beautiful smile. He points to an area on my shoulder. Looking down, I just now realized I still had my nametag on my work uniform. Damn. This is embarrassing.
I bow down and apologize, almost reluctantly.
"I know a way you can make this up to me" I jolt up, surprised by his voice. I cock an eyebrow in response.
"Let me buy this room for you. Just for tonight so you won't be cold. A girl like you shouldn't have to sleep in the streets all night, I owe you after all" he smirks. He knows he's got me trapped, in a position where I can't refuse.
"Fine" I mumble under my breath. I need a place to stay anyways. Mom and dad wouldn't be happy to know that their daughter was sleeping on the streets. They would be heartbroken if they knew all the things I've been doing.
The both of us turn towards the indifferent receptionist again, who lazily looks back up at us.
"Are you ready yet?" she slurs out.
"Yes ma'am! I'd like two rooms please! One for the lady and one for me!" 'Jay' says happily. The woman scoffs and simply replies with,
"Sorry kiddos, we only have one suite left. The storm is really racking people in tonight" she glances back at us with a smirk, "You shouldn't mind sleeping with each other, not a lovley couple like you" (A/N sooo cliché I know, but I had to!)
Me and 'Jay' both turn to look at each other, faces going bright red. Before I can oppose against the receptionist, she's already giving us our room key, assuring us that there are absolutely no rooms left, which explains the full parking lot. It's my turn to step in.
"Excuse me ma'am, but I think there's been a misunders-"
"Either you stay in the same room or you stay in the storm darling, it's your choice really"
I nibble on my lip carefully and lock eyes back to 'Jay', who has a worried expression.
"Hey, I can sleep out in the rain, I-I don't want to do anything that'll make you uncomfortable" he stutters. How cute. I mentally slap yourself for thinking that way. I can't just let the poor guy sleep in the streets, sharing a room can't be that bad right? As long as there are 2 beds.
"It's fine. It's not like we have to share a bed or anything. It's just one night" I force a smile, trying to make the situation a little less awkward.
'Jay' nods and steps up to pay the lady. Wow. Jaebom would kill me if he figured out that this happened today. He wouldn't stop scolding me for the rest of my life.
I'm supposed to be home with mom and dad, eating a good dinner with them thanks to my new paycheck, but instead, I'm about to sleep with a stranger in a motel. A handsome stranger at that.
"Don't worry. I won't do anything that'll make you uncomfortable. I promise" 'Jay's' voice crashes through my wandering thoughts and I look up to see a sincere expression on his face. I trust him. For tonight at least.
I give him a smile and press the button on the elevator, up to my room.
________________________________________________________________________________
The both of us separate as soon as we both enter the room. But to both of our horrors, there is only one bed. No wonder the receptionist was smirking like crazy. I facepalm and drag my fingers down my face. Looking over, 'Jay's' ears have gone bright red.
"I'll sleep on the floor" he immediately says. Wow. What a gentleman, it's funny.
"Are you sure?" I question him one last time before he strictly nods his head.
I look down at our drenched and soaking wet clothes. There's absolutely no way either of us are going to be sleeping in this, we'll be way too cold. He seems to read my mind exactly, and then he flushes for some reason.
"What?" I ask. He looks back up at me at the sound of my voice. "I know you have an idea, what is it?" At that he flushes bright red again. He hesitates before answering.
"I-I thought, that one of us could take off our clothes and wrap ourselves with blankets. U-Until our clothes dry again. Not trying to be a perv or anything" he shyly says, his attention down to the carpet.
It takes a moment for it to click but once it does, my face flushes bright red as well. It wasn't a bad idea at all. It was just embarrassing.
"O-Okay" It's not like me to stutter, but this is an exception. He jolts up, almost surprised that I agreed.
"I'll go first" he quickly says before taking some blankets and running into the bathroom, avoiding eye contact with me completely.
I sit down on the bed and sigh, a hand going through my hair. While this complete stranger is getting changed in the bathroom, I glance at my watch -11:48 pm- Great. Almost midnight. I begin to massage my temples, but quickly turn my head back around when I hear the bathroom knob turn. And...Wow.
He really was handsome. His shoulders were broad under the blanket and his hair was wet, in front of his face. He washed up too. When the two of us locked eyes, we both turned the other way as fast as possible.
"I'll go now" I clear my throat and hurry into the bathroom. I quickly undress from my soaking wet uniform, which sticks to the floor.
I exit the bathroom, blanket tightly wrapped around my body as I make my way toward the bed. In the farthest corner of the small suite you see 'Jay' laying uncomfortably, with his back facing me. I couldn't help but feel bad. After trying to fall asleep for 10 minutes, I decide to give up and stay awake until my eyes will eventually shut themselves.
"Min-jie?" His voice startled me out of your trance. I hum in response.
"I haven't been very honest with you and you've trusted me completely all throughout" he pauses, "the truth is..." he takes a breath, "...I'm an idol".
A/N- Thank you so much for reading again! Hope you liked it, things will get less boring, I promise!
