0. wish that you would stop, making my head spin

“Good morning.”

Mina can't help the way her lips curve into a smile when Jeongyeon only offers an unintelligible grumble in response, playing the part of a very cute, very hungover zombie. Jeongyeon pads over with heavy footsteps and arms outstretched, and Mina settles into the embrace easily, arms winding around Jeongyeon’s slim waist.

“You know, you have your own seat at this table,” Mina reminds in a teasing tone, pulling one arm back to comb her fingers through Jeongyeon’s messy hair, her heart stuttering when Jeongyeon only leans further against her.

“You’re more comfortable,” Jeongyeon croaks out, finally finding her voice, and sets about to prove her point as she squirms about on Mina’s lap. Mina laughs and Jeongyeon cracks a smile, one she’s seen a million times and one she’d love to see a million more.

Mina rubs Jeongyeon’s cheek, trying to wake her up a little more before she had to get her into the shower. “I asked oppa to grab some of the burgers that you liked, so you can have them on your way to your shoot.”

Jeongyeon makes a happy little noise, burrowing her face against the top of Mina’s head and squeezing her shoulders. “Have I told you that I love you?”

Mina’s heart skips at how easily the words leave Jeongyeon’s lips, at how she doesn't ever seem to notice what she does to Mina. Jeongyeon looks at her, the way she’s done for years and years, and yet Mina melts, a smile tugging at her lips.

She wonders if Jeongyeon even remembers her proposal. Jeongyeon had sounded determined despite her drunken state, eyes shining through the haze of alcohol. Mina had indulged her, because she almost always does, giving into the sparkle of Jeongyeon’s eyes and the slightest of touches. She wonders what Jeongyeon would have said if she hadn't agreed, if she had come clean, if she had let her heart spill after all these years.

Mina also wonders, as Jeongyeon tucks her hair back and kisses her forehead, how Jeongyeon can tell her she loves her when she’s ready to let Mina’s heart go so easily.

Mina wonders and wonders, and swallows down the words stuck in instead, leaning into the touch of Jeongyeon’s lips against her skin. Jeongyeon kisses her head and Mina’s heart feels as heavy as her stomach had last night, still wallowing in alcohol. “I love you too.”
