*****
Normally we would celebrate in the early evening, before the sun went down and before the night sky painted itself with billions of stars. This time around, however, we were well into the night, pushing the celebration because Byeongkwan had one final make up test to complete before his semester was over. Donghun and I agreed to wait for him and set out on foot just as the sun was sinking down over the horizon.
We ate and drank to our heart's content, laughing and complaining about the semesters passed and how they compared to this most recent one. It was almost midnight when Byeongkwan called it quits, having overstuffed himself on appetizers, he was ready to get to his dorm to begin a heavy sleeping period. I was ready to leave by that point, wanting to get sufficient sleep so I could enjoy the break I had before having to go back to school.
"As much as I love drinking away the night with my two favorite boys, my bed is beckoning me to it." I state dramatically as I stand to collect my things, getting ready to leave.
"I'm sure you're not the only one it's beckoning." Byeongkwan smirks at Donghun, before groaning at the fullness of his stomach as he lays his head on the table.
"Really smooth there." I chuckle as I ruffle his hair, not phased by his teasing of Donghun coming home with me.
"Please make sure he gets home safe." I tell Donghun as I wrap my arms around his shoulders as I stand behind him, my head on his shoulder as I turn to look at him, his face close to mine.
"Wait, are you walking home alone?" Donghun asks as he grabs my arms, keeping me pressed against his back.
"Who else would I walk with?" I question with a small laugh. "I'll text you when I get there."
I make a move to detach from Donghun, however his hands keep me there.
"It's almost midnight I don't want you going alone." Donghun whispers, worry etched into his furrowed eyebrows.
"Donghun, someone has to get Byeongkwan home too." I remind him, us both looking at the miserable boy with his head still on the table.
Donghun looks around the restaurant, spotting some familiar face at the bar seating area. "Seyoon."
I follow his eyes, looking at the boy who was in our major, one who was quiet and kept to himself, however had quite the relationship with Byeongkwan and Donghun.
"Donghun, you don't have to go through the trouble, I'll be fine and I'll call you if I see anyone sketchy."
"It's not good enough." He grunts as he stands, my arms falling at his sides as he begins to approach Seyoon. "I'll walk you home."
That was how I ended side by side next to Lee Donghun who was taking me home on a cool autumn night. Normally we were talkative and loud, however, Donghun's shoulders were tense and his guard was up as we walked down the sidewalk. I tried to engage him in a conversation, get his attention anyway I could think of, but he would only keep his attention on me for a few moments before his eye would train forward again.
I sigh as I wrap my arms around one of his arms, letting our body heat mingle as it wards of the chill of the crisp air. Donghun looks at me, shock written on his face.
"Did I get the ever confident Donghun to stumble a bit?" I smirk at him, making him scoff as a smile appears on his face.
"You caught me off guard."
"If you werent so on guard for taking me home you would've been ready for it."
Donghun looks at me again, his steps slower but not fully stopped. "I only want you to get home safe."
I smile at him with fondness, reaching one hand to intertwine my fingers with his to squeeze it in reassurance.
"Thank you for worrying about me."
At that moment, a large clanging was heard, making Donghun swing the arm I was one behind him, shielding me behind his body. A white cat jumps from an alleyway, a trash can lid spinning out behind him.
I burst into laughter. "It was just a cat, Donghun."
"Well now I know it's a cat." He pouts, looking away from me.
I shake my head as I start to continue walking, however Donghun walks next to me before surpassing me, continuing to keep me shielded with his body. I smile at his protectiveness as I feel a sudden warmth in my chest, a warmth I had felt with Donghun before but elected to ignore, however this was one was as strong as it had ever been, making my face heat up as well.
It wasn't long before we reached my dorm, the bright street lights illuminating the entire vicinity of the building, making it hard for anyone to hide around the girls dorms. I enter the code to get into the building, seeing my room as I walk through.
"This is me." I whisper to Donghun, releasing his arm, but keeping his fingers intertwined with mine.
"I'm glad you're home safe."
"Now, how will you get home safe?" I ask him, stepping closer to him, my hand finding his other hand to intertwine.
"I can text you when I get home." He suggests, a large smile on his face as he pulls my body closer.
"Or..." I trail of, my arms releasing his hands to loop around his waist. "You could come inside and go home when it's safe in the morning."
"That sounds like an interesting proposition." Donghun whispers as he leans his head towards me.
I walk backwards into my door, pulling Donghun along with me. His hand finds the back of my neck, pulling my lips towards his in a heated kiss. His other hand rests on my door above my head as he presses his body against mine. I groan out against his mouth, trying to get my door open with one hand. I pull away from him, his lips following mine, forcing me to turn my head so I could look at the door knob. With my neck now exposed to him, Donghun attaches his lips to the side of my neck, nipping at the skin gently and leaving little kisses over them after. My back pushes off the door, further into his body before I twist the knob, both of us stumbling into my room. Donghun turns me around and pushes me against the inside of the door, effectively closing it and giving us the privacy we needed.
