She giggles softly as she feels a hand invading the bottom hems of her shirt, pressing into her stomach and feeling the indentions of her ab line. "And you say this is just shadows, baby..."

"But they are!" Seulgi giggles out a little bit more before they were quickly muffled by a pair of lips that fit perfect with hers.

The two were currently alone in their hotel room, tired out after their concert but after a whole days of working hard, it was only right for both of them to seek some innocent pleasures.

"And speaking of abs, you keep bringing attention to mine instead of yours. You gained some over your vacation, Unnie~" Her words were mumbled against the older's lips, but nonetheless, still understandable.

The older, however, just lets out a gentle laugh at the detail of her own abs and keeps her lips on the younger's while her arms s around her waist, underneath her shirt.

Skin to skin contact was one of the very things that kept Irene from toppling over from stress, and she's grateful that Seulgi has gotten used to her now.

She remembers how rigid Seulgi would have gotten if she had merely hooked her arms within hers or even holding onto her wrist to bring her to practice, or even simply patting her arm as a form of gratitude or praise. 

She remembers how uncertain and unknowingly she used to stand at her reaction, but her younger self proceeded with affection anyway to force her to get used to it and slowly did Seulgi eventually warm up to her.

And here she is now, lip-locking with her.

This thought brings a smile to her lips as she continues to slowly move her lips against Seulgi's which is reciprocated with a grin of the latter.

Seulgi's hand was resting on the older's shoulder while the other was resting on her nape, her thumb brushing at the corner of the elder's jawline as her head mearly fell to the side to deepen the kiss as she felt a rise of passion course through her.

Irene just muffles her giggles against her lips and keeps the kiss from going any longer, pulling away after pressing two short pecks to the younger's lips which only earn a soft whine of disappointment, but does she know it is what's best since their schedules would run long tomorrow.

"I know, baby.. I don't want to stop too... but I can't be limping to the stage or anything like that." She snorts a little bit and carefully pulls away to allow her thumbs to loop into the other's waist band, tugging her along as she walked backwards towards the bed for some quality cuddles.

"Not even a little bit?" Seulgi follows her lead, making no objections to heeding to her pulls. "Heol.... That makes me a little sad."

"I'll try to make up for it once schedules cease to exist for a couple of days, love~ I'll be yours then~" The younger's lips push out into a sadden pout, having wanting to do it now instead of later, but alas does she watch the older find a comfortable place on their shared bed (even though there's another bed in the room) then allowing herself to finally climb up onto the bed.

"Fine, fine! But I get to do what I want, I promise I won't do anything that'll lead to ." She nods firmly as she invaded the older's arms, giving her no time to accept or refuse the proposal but Irene doesn't seem to mind as she nods her head and comfortably allows her the will to do what she'd like.

Seulgi, having liked to be the little spoon, carefully nuzzles her face into the crook of the older's neck, planting her few kisses and spoiling her skin with tiny nips to refrain from making her marks of "belonging."

"Remember to--" Irene begins to speak out but is interrupted with a squeak as the younger girl bit her to stay quiet. 

"Shhh, unnie." There's a purpose to this action, and Irene remembers that during these times when she doesn't particularly get what she wants, she will settle for hearing the sounds of her breaths, giggles, and hums. 

She quickly understands this once her legs begin to grow tangled with longer ones and feeling lips continue to spread kisses along her nape line.

Her hand instinctively reaches up to pet the younger's head lightly as her other gets occupied with the younger's hand, feeling her fingers fill the spaces between hers.

At this point, Seulgi was nestling against the older as close as she could, as if something was going to drive them apart by force.

And if a person were to ask Irene about this, she'd only laugh because their bodies were perfectly molded to fit one anothers.

Irene believes that this was just by chance and it all is a coincidence, but how is that every attribute is perfectly well fit? 

Their lips when their kissing, their hands no matter what way they're holding each other, their arms around each other's waist-- hell, even back hugging and down to the not so innocent features(but those will be shared on another day).

When Seulgi's lips meet with the edge of Irene's jawline, she lets a curious hum as her eyes open from her train of thoughts, tilting her head at the younger whose eyes were gazing up at her so full of love and happiness. 

"Aigoo.." Irene couldn't help herself from planting a quick kiss onto her lips when she sees the younger's eyesmiles with an addition of her trademarked bearish grin, and Seulgi reciprocates with a happy squeal before quickly burying her head into her shoulder.

"Unnie..~" Seulgi rings out with the shyest of grins, whose cheek was nestling softly against her. "Can I ask something?"

Her brows raise in curiosity at the question, urging her to continue her question as her lips press a light kiss onto the apple of her cheek.

"What...do you like about me?" Seulgi's eyes were twinkling with anticipation, gazing at the older with a smile.

The girl hums softly, her head laying back against the head board, wondering how should she word her next few words carefully in the fewest but colorful words.

"We..all know, how scared I am of the ocean...right, love?" Her hand lifts and rests on the younger's cheek gently, the pad of her thumb brushing ever-so-lightly on the apple of her cheek while Seulgi simply nods. "You... you are like the ocean. Gorgeous as ever, always welcoming and fulfilled with wonders-- Even... being the greatest to indulge in...."

Seulgi's eyes continue to look back and forth between the older's eyes, her smile never failing to leave her lips. "And you are the only ocean that I choose to indulge in, to drown in because it's-- you're all worth it."

Irene lays her forehead against the taller's, whose emotions are very apparent as happiness is all written across her features. "Unnie..."

It was only then did the younger lift herself up slightly again before legitimately throwing herself down into the smaller, burying back into her immediately and squealing softly out of happiness. 

Irene only giggles, taking the impact and holding her tightly, her arms relocating to be around her middle.

"What, what? Was it too much?" Seulgi quickly shakes her head and makes sure to bury her face completely against her skin, sniffling lightly and trying to hide it. "Are...are you crying, love?"

"Y-yes...." She meekly replies back trying to not let her sniffles be heard, but her tears couldn't be ignored when they're literally pressed against her skin. Irene just simply chuckles now that she knows there isn't anything terrifyingly wrong, just Seulgi letting her emotions overwhelm her. 

"I'm sorry, Unnie-- I d-didn't mean to cry so suddenly!" She muffles her short cries against the older's skin, being tended to as she feels the older's fingers brush through her hair to try and reduce her spilled emotions.

After a few moments of silence, Irene raises her brows and leans back a bit to see the younger's face, only to be met with eyes closed.

"Ah, did you fall asleep?" Irene chuckles softly and presses a kiss to her forehead, using her thumb to carefully swipe away some dried tears away from her features.

Seulgi was always the type to fall asleep first, especially when her fingers were brushing through her hair and it didn't help that the older's hand was idly rubbing on the smaller of her back.

Though, regardlessly, Irene was thankful she was one of the few people Seulgi could cuddle with and be comfortable enough to sleep on. 

"Aigoo..you bear..." While Seulgi's hands relocate to be on either side of the older, Irene moves hers around the younger's shoulders. 

She thinks to herself, maybe..Seulgi had been the best thing to have ever happened to her. 

Or even-- ever in her life. 

"I'm so thankful for you, baby..." Irene speaks softly as her arms give the sleeping girl a gentle squeeze, comfortably laying her cheek onto the crown of her head. "You have no idea.."

And unconciously do Seulgi's lips brim slightly with a smile, knowing that there were some words of emotions being spoken, and she wants to wake up to reciprocate the words but alas, she falls victim to tireness--moving a little bit and hugging onto her bigger spoon.

And of course, she won't forget to tell the older how much she loves her in the morning.
