IX.
Biblichor [Eng.]When he woke up, he couldn't remember the exact moment he fell asleep. He only remembered talking to Seungkwan, their conversation didn't help them to get to know each other more. The last thing he could remember was suggesting to question each other. Seungkwan declined this saying it would be better to sleep. Maybe that's what led him to have Seungkwan's arms wrapped around his waist.
On one hand Vernon was a bit annoyed for not facing him. He'd love seeing him waking up, but turning around wasn't an option because at the same time he didn't want to wake him up. On the other hand, he was glad Seungkwan couldn't see his face all red due to their closeness and his warm breathing hitting his nape. He made him feel nervous and calm at the same time.
Actually they were a pair of strangers, but it didn't feel weird. If anything, Vernon felt at home.
-GOOD MORNING, LOVEBIRDS! -Mingyu's sudden voice made the both jump, finally waking Seungkwan up.- I bring you coffee, courtesy of the vending machines downstairs.
Both of them sat on the opposite sides of the couch. Mingyu, after handing the little plastic cups, settled between them.
-Wonwoo owes me 50 bucks. I knew you were waiting for him.
-Did you guys bet on me? -asked Vernon after digesting what he just said.
-Yeah, of course. Just waiting to see what would happen was boring. Did you enjoy your night? I just hope you guys didn't make a mess -as soon as he finished saying this, two punches reached both of his arms.- Hey! There's no need to do that! Just tell me 'no' or something. Whatever, I gotta go. Tell me everything later -and he winked his way out, leaving both of them puzzled.
They kept silence for a while, taking sips of their coffees. Soon they found comfort in that situation, stealing glances and gifting smiles to each other. Some minutes later, Seungkwan broke the silence.
-Remember the question game you suggested last night? -Vernon nodded- Ok so let's play it but with a little condition: we can't ask anything unless we're inside a book, does it seems good to you?
-Amazing -and he took Seungkwan's hand to run through the aisles.
