19. Day after
~~~ Suho and Chen - Beautiful Accident ~~~
For really long time, she felt like she was suffocating.
That was new...
She never had a problem with breathing, when sleeping and having her night terrors. But that wasn't it, it felt weird, not like she really couldn't catch a breath or something, when a person has an anxiety attack. This was different.
She was surrounded by cold water, which got inside her lung and her mouth. It was filling her up, to the point she had nowhere to run away. She was scared. What is going on?
It took her enormous amount of time and effort to reach out to the surface. Her chest was hurting for some reason, maybe because she was coughing violently, the water coming out of her mouth, smell of chlorine filled her nose, making her stomach, which was full of the water as well, protest.
She gagged as her stomach wished to get all the unwanted water out, but stopped herself. Her eyes were teary, not being able to see a thing. Everything was blurry, so she kept her eyelids shut.
When she managed to cough majority of the fluid from her lungs, she collapsed back on the hard concrete.
She sighed in relief, because she felt much better now that she could easily breath.
What a weird nightmare...
That's what she thought, before she drifted away into the darkness. She didn't know someone picked her up from the ground, both of them soaked up, he took them back inside of the house.
She woke up in the morning, wrapped up in pile of towels... only in her underwear and confused as hell.
She was way too hot, even if just in her undergarments, she was stuck in her blanket like in the wrap. She had no strength in her arms or legs, so it took her some time to pull her arms out of the soft prison. How odd, she clearly remembered going to bed with her jumper and pyjama bottoms.
Her hands reached to her hair, which were damp, almost like she went to bed with wet hair, after showering. She frowned.
She managed to get up to the seated position, looking around her room automatically. Nothing seemed to be out of usual order. But then her eyes fell on the head full of dark dishevelled hair, resting on the edge of her mattress on the side of the bed.
She widened her eyes, already pulling herself closer to that side of a bed, to persuade herself about the realness of his. She laid on her stomach, looking down on his body, scrunched up in very uncomfortable position. His hair was messy and his face pale, her heart slowed down for a second. He was sleeping soundly leaning on the side of bed, but he seemed so tired. Those dark circles, that she was so used to see on her own face, were now forming under his eyes.
Then she noticed his clothes. Although he was not dripping with water, his clothes were wet, his body shivering. That alarmed her, she almost jumped out of the bed.
The thought that she might be still having a nightmare, crossed her mind. This was weird. She pulled herself out of the bed, squatting down on the floor to Jun's level. She covered herself with a blanket, realising the lack of clothing.
"Jun...," she whispered, his eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't wake up. She stretched her arm towards him, tapping his shoulder. It didn't work. She decided to pinch his cheek to wake him up, but the moment she touched the skin on his face, she flinched away. He was boiling hot.
"Junmyeon?" she shook with his body, being rewarded by annoyed moan from his part.
"Jun, why are you all wet, sitting in my room?" she couldn't think of an explanation. He suddenly opened his dark coffee eyes, automatically finding hers. He stayed quiet, while he gazed at her lazily.
"We need to get you out of your wet clothes, Jun," she told him in all seriousness. His lips curved into smirk, closing his eyes slowly, just to opened them again, filled with mischievous spark.
"Is this your way of trying to seduce me?" he mumbled. She widened her eyes at him, watching him take the bottom line of his t-shirt in attempt to take it off. "I must say it works, but I'd appreciate your help," he frowned when he realised he is not able to take it off himself. He was having very bad fever...
She put aside her own shyness and did as she was asked. Having half naked boy in her room now. All he was wearing at the moment were his pants, showing of the abs he was working on every day in the school gym.
She diverted her eyes in the speed of light, staring at his face, which didn't really help, now that she was thinking about it. He dropped his head on the mattress behind him, using it as headrest.
"Jun, why are you all wet?" she wanted to know again, hoping he knows the answer to that. He opened his eyes, which were feverishly gleaming, giving her weird look. It seemed like he was thinking about what to say and then decided not to say anything at all, closing his eyes again.
No matter how her curiosity was burning her alive, she stayed silent.
"You don't look good, I will bring some temperature killers from downstairs. Just wait," she let him know, before getting up and disappearing in her bathroom, where she got dressed real quick. She ran downstairs, seeing her brother still had midnight, but it was way too early to get up anyways. She found the box with medicines and stuff for first aid, in the kitchen and took it all with her upstairs.
When she got back into her room, she saw that Jun relocated from the bed, into her bed, using the pile of blankets, that she had before. His wet pants were on the floor with the t-shirt she took off before. She gulped, knowing he is practically naked in her own bed. He was laying on the side, facing her and watched her with crushing instensity. He was serious in his face and she felt nervous, well more than she usually does.
She sat on the edge of the bed, returning his gaze. What was wrong? She wasn't sure if the fact his eyes were all glassy and full of something, she couldn't really name, was it because of the fever he was experiencing, or there is something more?
"Maybe, you need to go to the doctor. I should wake up Sehun, to take you to the emergency room," she thought out loud, wanting to get up, but he quickly grabbed her hand, shaking his head.
"No need. Its not serious. Nothing what rest and the medicine won't fix," he assured her. She then took one tablet of Tylenol and gave it to him, passing him glass of water from her nightstand.
"How about you, how do you feel?" he surprised by his own question. Although she was confused about everything right now, she was alright. She couldn't even remember any of her night terrors. She was not sure if that was a good sign or not.
"I'm okay," she let out, not being able to divert her eyes from his captivating ones. He stayed silent once again, almost like he was giving her time to think her answer over. He sighed quietly, not saying anything further. She couldn't stop her heart melting, while looking at him. This sight of him, she never saw before. He looked tired and so comfortable in her bed. It was ridiculous, how good it felt to have him here. She wanted him to stay here and rest. Once in her life, he wished to take care of someone, instead of receiving care from everyone else.
"Why are you blushing?" he changed the topic narrowing eyes at her, small smile appearing on his lips. Her heart skipped a beat, she didn't even realise, her face was burning up, while thinking all sort of stuff. She pressed lips in the line, not letting her senseless mind have her say something she should not.
"You like to see me all weak and powerless, so you can do whatever you want with me...?" he started guessing her thoughts, but she quickly covered his mouth with her hand to stop him from talking more. She sensed his smiled under her palm.
"I guess you are not that bad, if you can still spout nonsense," she retorted, her hand still on his mouth. He suddenly remover her hand from his mouth, placing it on his cheek, closing his eyes.
"Let me stay here today," he mumbled, as he leaned his hot cheek into her touch. She didn't have a power over her thumb that was tracing the soft skin under his eye.
"I have to go to school...," she protested weakly, he could still stay here and sleep...
"I will stay here and wait for you. I will skip school today," he murmured, pouting his lips as he kept rubbing his cheek in her palm.
"O... okay," she agreed. It was lucky, her parents were not home most of the time. She only hoped Sehun is ready to go to school, after his adventurous stalking action. She really wished to stay and ask him all about Jun's adventures, because she was sure, there was something fishy behind him being all wet. It just didn't make a sense. She kept her mouth shut, when he got up to start getting ready for school.
It was hard, because Jun's eyes were following her where she went, it caused her to forget half of the text books and her pencil case. Her cheeks were on fire as she ran around the room like an idiot, trying to ignore naked man on her bed. She couldn't stand it anymore and turned around, leaving her packed up backpack on the chair. She folded her arm on her chest, narrowing her eyes at Jun, who was lazily returning her gaze.
"You should sleep, to get better," she ordered him with firm voice, hoping he will listen. But there she was mistaken, as his lips curled into proper smile... finally...
"Thank you for kind suggestion, but I would rather ogle my girlfriend, while I can, before she goes to school for the whole day," he stated resolutely. She gaped at him in disbelief. He can be like this even while having high temperature? "Quick, or you will be late. You need to wake up Sehun as well, so he can take you to school. But before you go, you should do more of the packing and bending over and running around," she didn't even bother to gasp for the air this time, taking little cushion from the floor and throwing it his way. He widened his eyes and hid himself under the duvet, before it could hit him.
"I'm going, I will see you in the afternoon," she let him know, before leaving her bedroom. She went to Sehun's room, only find it empty. He was already downstairs, stuffing his face with crunchy nuts with milk.
"Morning, Ji," he waved at her with a spoon, not stopping the feeding process. She walked to the counter he was sitting behind, her eyes only tracing over Sehun's face, when she had to stop and stare.
"Sehun?" she started off, biting her lower lip.
"Hmm?" he didn't even lift his gaze up to look at her, being engrossed with his breakfast.
"Is there particular reason you decided to wear a black eye today?" he halt in the middle of bringing a spoon to his mouth, glancing up at her.
"Did your mission failed and your disguise fell?" she was holding back her laughter, all she could, when her brother frowned at her, annoyed.
"Did Bora punch you?" she didn't need to hear his answer to that. If Bora found out, he was following her, he was doomed.
"She hit me with her purse, when she found me hiding behind a plant in the city," he mumbled, rubbing his injured face.
"Ah Sehun, why don't you just confess your feelings to here. We all will be relieved and you mainly," she advised him, when they were on the way to his bike. He already got a text from Jun that he will need to take her today as he is unwell, in her room. Of course, he didn't say anything about that part.
"Are you out of you mind? You want her to beat me up into a gulp?" he gave her horrified look, before they sat on his bike and of they went. There was something about his words, but she doubted Bora would get violent if Sehun really professed his feelings for her, unless she thought that he was making fun of here, which would be understandable when the two of them didn't communicate any other way, past decade.
They stayed quiet until they got all the way to school, where was Bora already waiting for her. Jihye hopped off Sehun's motorbike, while he sped away to park it to the designed parking spaces, or he was just running away from the killing glares Bora was shooting at him.
"You broke my brother," Jihye informed her best friend. Bora only evilly grinned.
"He deserved it. He was sneaking up at me from behind a plant? How old is he?" Bora waved her hand and they walked slowly inside of the school building. "Anyways, I have a big favour to ask of you," Bora looked nervous all of a sudden.
"What is it, Bora?" Jihye narrowed her eyes at her best friend, trying to guess what was it that she wanted to ask me, knowing I won't be really happy about it.
"Ah, forget it. You won't do it anyways," she mumbled turning her head away from me. I took a deep breath in, before asking her twenty times in the row to tell me, what she was planning to in the first place.
"Can you go for a double date with me? I know I've never asked you to do something like this with me, and now when you are in a secret relationship with Jun, its not the best time, but you have to help your friend and make Baekhyun jealous...," she blurted out in the at last. Ji blinked at her for few seconds.
"What?" she dint understand the concept of what she was asking of her.
"Can you go for a double date with me? I know...," Bora was about to repeat the whole nonsense she just spouted.
"I heard, but I'm trying to comprehend what madness you are up to...,"Jihye mumbled. Firstly, she thought of Jun who was now happily sweating into her sheets. Oh, how would he feel about the fact, she would go for a date with a different guy. She didn't know, maybe he would be understanding to take the circumstances in the account. She had no clue if Jun was a jealous type.
"Bora...," JIhyes started, then she saw Sehun, walking past them in the corridor towards is class. He spared them one quick gloomy glance and then he quickly disappeared in the room. And then there was Sehun...
"I know, it's desperate, but I really want to see, if he perhaps has at least some kind of feelings for me," Bora whined. Well there was one person for sure, who wont like to hear about this double date.
"I'm sure there will be someone who will go out of their mind with jealousy," Jihye let out under her breath.
"I can explain to Jun, he will be fine with it, once he knows he has nothing to be afraid of," Bora beamed at her friend, hoping to have her persuaded, thinking it was her boyfriend she was mentioning in the last statement. It was Sehun's reaction, she was more worried about.
"How did you come up with this crazy idea?" Jihye wanted to know.
"Well, I was watching this drama and...," Bora started to explain the details of the whole plot, giving her all the ideas of how it all should happened. In the end, Bora already had two guys lined up to go on a date with. Jihye was not even surprised, Bora was ready for the action.
"So? What is your answer? If you do this for me, I will make sure Sehun will never find out about your secret mingling with his bff," Bora winked at me and Ji furrowed her eyebrows.
"Are you suggesting, that if I don't agree to do as you say, you will not make sure Sehun will never find out?" She accused her friend of threatening her. Bora looked hurt, placing her palm on her chest, pretending to be wounded by her allegation.
"What are you two whispering here about?" Baekhyun appeared behind them just on time, sticking his head between hers and Bora's, glancing right and left, before seating himself on his chair in the class, which was right behind them. Bora gave Jihye pleading look, before she just nodded hear head. She is going to regret this, but oh well...
"We were discussing our double date," Bora turned around, proclaiming proudly, flashing Baekhyun with smile. His eyebrows shot up, looking from Bora at Jihye, and seeing that none of us denied anything. His face didn't give away anything about what he is thinking about their plans.
"Whose idea was that?" he grinned. Bora pouted her lips and didn't say a thing, so Baek ended up staring right at Jihye, "Our introvert is trying new waters?" he was mocking her.
"Shut up," she decided to ignore him. She was hating Bora, for pulling her into this game. She just wanted to go back home to her sick man. Which she did by the end of the day. Bora scheduled the date for tomorrow's evening.
"I should stop by at Jun's and see if he is doing fine. He didn't text me all day," Sehun, who was supposed to take her home, was standing by his bike, while she was shaking her head.
"He is fine, just let him rest for one day at least. Go and see him tomorrow," she hoped this will be enough to take his mind of seeing his friend. She felt excited, knowing that Jun is actually hiding in her room. It was thrilling and bad.
Sehun eventually retreated from his original idea and took them both home. She decided to take some food up, she wasn't sure if Jun at least fed himself, while everyone was gone.
"Are you that hungry?" Sehun came to the kitchen, just when she put everything she was about to bring upstairs on the tray.
"I'm on my period," she lied, knowing her brother will run away screaming as soon as she mentions the time of the month he was dreading ever since they became teenagers. He widened his eyes, refraining from saying more and silently leaving her do whatever she wanted. He knew what to do, when she gave him the red code.
She climbed the stairs with the load of food and her backpack, out of breath she entered her room, almost stopping to knock, but she just shrugged her shoulders and went inside.
She found Junmyeon still in her bed, covered with the blanket, only his head peaking from underneath it. His cheeks were flushed, thanks to the high temperature, his forehead covered with sweat. He was still sleeping. She made sure she is as quiet as possible, but the sound of closing door made his eyes open. He looked directly at her, making her stomach flip over.
"What took you so long?" his hoarse voice got her unprepared. He moved under the cover, it looked like he was stretching his body. Why was she standing there frozen to the spot?
"I brought you a snack," she let out pathetically. His sleepy eyes landed on the tray with little feast, his lips twitching in order to stop himself from smiling.
"Did you invite whole school to snack with us? Or do you really think I am going to eat all that?" he teased, while he was pulling himself up to sit down, revealing his bare chest like that. Oh dear god, have a mercy. She still didn't leave her place by the door. He patted a free spot on the bed with his hand, silently prompting her to move her but over to him.
"Let's have a snack, I'm starving," he mumbled, which finally made her lower extremities move and she found herself nestling by his side, placing the tray in front of her, so he can reach whatever he wanted to eat, easily. He grabbed kimbap, hungrily diving his teeth into it and she watched him with warmness spreading over her chest. She was pleased to see him having an appetite.
"Did you sleep all day?" she asked, while not diverting her eyes from his stuffed cheeks as he nodded his head.
"I feel better," he grinned at her, talking with his mouth full. She always hated when someone did that, but she was more than forgiving when it was him, who did it, as long as he was happy while eating. He noticed the way she was eyeing him out and stopped in the middle of chewing another big mouthful of kimbap, creating chubby bump on the side of his cheeks as he raised his eyes at her. How can a grown man look this adorable, while being hot at the same time, showing off his defined chest? It was confusing, and her heart didn't know how to comprehend and what to do, so it was going crazy.
"Stop giving me those eyes, while we are both on the same bed," he finished chewing and then warned her, while his eyes changed to chocolate brown. She always forgets how straight forward this man is. He says what he has on mind. She darted her eyes on her hands, wanting to die, because he can deduct everything that is going on with her. Well, at last.
She heard giggle, causing her look at him.
"I missed you," he grinned at her, his eyes shining.
"You've seen me just few hours ago," she frowned, she had no control over the warmth still growing in her chest. It was making her want to lean over and hug him, or just do something.
"I'm starting to hate every second I am not with you," he continued with his mission to make go out of her mind.
"Is there any filter in between your brain and mouth?" her defence mechanism was to divert his attention different direction.
"One day you will believe everything I say, you will learn there is no filter whatsoever. I don't need it," she couldn't hold her own smile back anymore, it was contagious. He had this power over her, no matter how crappy stuff are, or how tired she is most of the time, he is ray of sunshine in her life. Even before, when they barely spoke a word for years, whenever she saw him, just from afar, smiling or laughing, it was enough for her insides to melt in pure bliss. It was ridiculous.
"Okay, I'm done snacking, get over here," the moment she smiled back at him, he shoved the tray on the night stand, opening his arms for her to come to him. She froze again. She wanted to jump into his arms the moment she saw him and now she was hesitating. Jun didn't let her sit there idle for too long, launched for her. He took her hand, before she could react he pulled her towards him. She ended up laying right next to him, one his arm gripping her shoulders and other one on her hip.
She was not breathing as he hovered over her stiffened body, she didn't even realise she closed her eyes.
"You surely are much better than you were in the morning," she murmured breathlessly, listening to his soft chuckle.
"You know me, always taking advantage of the situation. Especially with you," he breathed out in whisper. The hand on her hip travelled over her arm, creating path of goose bumps as he went all the way up to cares her face. She had to open her eyes to find his face in close proximity. Suddenly she was very aware of his hot naked skin.
"You are unbelievable," she told him, the self-defence mechanism working hard. It was too late to protect her heart, but she still had to try to stay composed.
"I know, but why don't you just turn off your filter and say what you want," he didn't come any closer to her, but his fingers tracing the side of her cheek was more than distracting. She didn't manage to contain the shiver, that was taking over her body, thanks to his touch. His thumb took care of the line of her jaw, his eyes following the path of his fingers.
She once again came to realisation that Junmyeon was hers. There is no reason she should hold, at least not now when there was nothing between them. She can worry about all those obstructions when they arise again.
Before she could take control over her actions, her hand lifted, taught from Jun's bold moves, she touched his face, enjoying the softness of his skin. He didn't expect it, his body becoming rigid for second, his eyes filled with fire, when her fingers dove into his dishevelled hair.
"I missed you too," she let out, meeting his gaze.
That was when they both crossed the line, their lips meeting half way to each other.
