[10:39 PM] seonghwa pulls his hand away from hers relunctantly. she steps on the stairs, and then turns to face him. instead of having to look up to look him in the eyes, they’re almost at the same height, although not quite. he’s still pretty tall.
“thank you for dropping me off,” she says, gesturing to her front door. “and thanks for dinner. i had fun.”
“yeah, me too,” he replies, pressing his lips together, wearing a thin smile.
she nods as she turns towards her front door. he sucks on his teeth as he reaches for her hand. “wait,” he says.
she turns back around, wearing a curious expression. her eyes wandering about, looking for a clue in his face.
he looks into her eyes, which was full of curiosity with a hint of worries. and he looks down, landing on her small lips.
“seonghwa,” she calls out, breaking the silence. “what is it?”
his eyes never leaves her lips. he pulls her hand, closing the distance between their bodies. another hand cups her cheek, his thumb brushes over her lips. they were small, and soft, but a little bit chapped. maybe it’s the cold night air.
she steps down from the stairs. his gaze follows her lips. he leans down as she gets on her tiptoes. the distance between their faces are closing in. her hand clings over his arm, with another one holds around his waist.
“may i?” he asks, his lips just inches from her own. she could feel his warm breaths on her face. for a moment, she thought she would never have to buy a heat pack ever again if he were to get this close to her every time she gets cold.
she nods. he smiles before pecking her small lips with his full ones. and they fit perfectly, he thought. she freezes for a second, and he can feel that. so, he moves his mouth over hers and she mimics his movement when she realizes what’s going on, reciprocating his actions. both of them have their eyes closed. he furrows his eyebrows as he goes deeper and more passionately. she slides her hand into the locks of his hair, sharing the same passion. his hand snakes around the back of her neck.
they can see each other’s warm breaths in the cold air when they finally pull away from each other. he breathes in deeply as he pressed their foreheads together.
“wow,” she gasped. “that was — wow,” her voice sounds hoarse and raspy. almost as if she’s thirsty or just wake up.
“you sound so sexy right now,” he chuckles before pulling in for another kiss.
