I WATCHED JURIN as she sat across from me, her eyes slowly growing heavier while she slurped up the last of her ramen. In that moment, she looked cute, with a noodle dangling from her mouth like a playful little ribbon. Her cheeks were slightly puffed, and her brow furrowed in concentration as she tried to finish the bowl before surrendering to her drowsiness. I couldn't help but chuckle quietly to myself; she was a sight I never wanted to forget.
But then my mind flickered back to earlier that evening. My heart still throbbed at the memory of that guy casually asking her out. The moment had ignited a wave of jealousy within me that I couldn't quite shake off. I had clenched my fists, trying to maintain my composure, but every smile she had given him felt like a dagger to my chest. I hated that feeling, and I hated how powerless I felt in that situation.
But now, as I watched her slowly succumb to sleep, all those feelings began to dissipate. Her eyelids fluttered softly, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a small, peaceful smile. I felt a rush of warmth fill my chest, drowning out all my earlier frustrations.
I couldn't resist any longer. With gentle hands, I scooped her up into my arms, cradling her against my chest. She fit so perfectly in my embrace, and I marveled at how right it felt to hold her. As I lifted her, her arms instinctively wrapped around my neck, pulling herself closer to me even in her sleep. I leaned my face into her soft hair, inhaling her sweet scent that hung in the air like a comforting blanket. It was a mix of shampoo and something uniquely her, and it made my heart race.
In that serene moment, I felt my heart race, a nervous excitement bubbling to the surface. As I walked over to the bed to set her down, Just then, I heard her mumble something in her sleep, her voice barely a whisper. "I like...you, Jungwon... not Beomgyu." My breath hitched at her words, and I felt my cheeks flush with heat. Was she really dreaming about me? Did she mean it? I quickly set her down on the bed, careful not to wake her, but I could feel the warmth radiating from my cheeks as I placed a hand over my mouth. I was surprised, flustered, and shocked all at once.
After a few moments of trying to collect myself, I lay down beside her, staring up at the ceiling. The room was dimly lit, shadows dancing along the walls, but my thoughts were anything but calm. I replayed her words over and over in my head. My heart raced, and I felt a mix of joy and confusion swirling inside me. What did this mean for us? Did she really see me that way? I ran my fingers through my hair as I grew slightly stressed.
I tried to focus on the ceiling, but sleep wouldnt catch me. I could still feel the flutter of jealousy from earlier, but the warmth of her presence soothed me, wrapping around me like a protective shield. As I lay there, my mind was a storm of thoughts, each one crashing into the next, preventing me from finding any peace.
Just as I began to think I might never find sleep, I felt a gentle weight against my side. Jurin had shifted in her sleep, wrapping her arm around my waist and snuggling into my side. The sudden warmth of her body was like a balm to my restless thoughts, and I felt my heart skip a beat. Her presence was comforting, and even though I was still flustered, an overwhelming sense of calm washed over me.
I could feel her soft breaths against my skin, the steady rhythm lulling me into a state of relaxation. Her head rested just beneath my chin, and instinctively, I shifted my body slightly to accommodate her, feeling the heat radiate from her small frame. It was an intimate moment, and I couldn't help but smile at how natural it felt to have her so close to me.
Even with the remnants of jealousy bubbling beneath the surface, I found solace in the way she fit against me, as if we were two pieces of a puzzle finally coming together. My heart swelled with a warmth that enveloped me, and I allowed myself to sink into the moment, letting go of the worries and frustrations that had plagued me just moments ago.
As I closed my eyes, I could still feel her warmth pressed against me, and I finally allowed myself to drift off to sleep. The last thought in my mind was that maybe, just maybe, things were starting to change between us. With Jurin snuggled against me, I felt a sense of peace settle in my heart. And as I succumbed to slumber, I couldn't help but dream of what the morning might bring.
