At the Hotel


 

And then, she kissed me. Out of the blue, she kissed me and I couldn’t say I was pleasantly surprised... I was just taken aback.

But for some reason, I didn’t resist her tongue quickly darting its way in to my mouth.

As our tongues twirled together, my mind seemed to twirl into an indescribably confusing state too. As if I had no control of it whatsoever, it just raced into a huge mess of nothingness, making me feel slightly dizzy in a pleasant way.

Out of the twirling mess of tornado thoughts, the ones that my brain seemed to elevate to be able to comprehend were unexpectedly trivial.

“Ouch, my palms hurt like this,” I adjusted my hand on the nightstand as the corner of the top was cutting into my palms that I was supporting myself with while this crazy girl pushed me against it, also supporting herself by her hands placed on top of the small wooden furniture, her arms by my side.

The next one, “hey, if you keep nibbling on my lips like that, I won’t be able to eat that ddukbokki later, it’ll sting!” So I bit at her lower lip roughly, signaling that she was going a bit too far.

Instead of the expected reaction of retreating, I felt her smile against my lips. I opened my eyes slightly to confirm my suspicions and saw that I was indeed right and she was smiling.

“What, am I that funny?” I thought, but when she got back to her seemingly very expert tongue work, breathing heavily, I understood that she was smiling in content.

My eyes closing fully again, I wondered if she was just a natural talent or if it took a lot of practice for her to become such a good kisser. I had no idea how good or bad I was.

She bit at my lip again.

‘Yah!’ I now broke apart with a smacking sound leaving our mouths as we separated.

She grinned at me mischievously as she distanced herself from me to an appropriate proximity.

‘Dare say you didn’t like it and I’ll kill you,’ she wagged a finger at me sternly.

‘I won’t. But if my lips are gonna be all chapped because of you—’

‘They won’t,’ she touched my lips, tracing her finger on it, examining. ‘They’re good as new!’

‘Glad to hear that,’ I mumbled. I turned back around towards the nightstand to take my left contact lens out too, since I was kind of distracted after taking out the first one, then threw myself on the bed, closing my eyes and feeling like I could fall asleep right in that moment. I felt the bed bounce with a heavy weight plopping down next to my body.

An ambulance car’s alarm was heard from outside and I wondered what happened to someone right in the moment when I was busy kissing my friend. "Could a grandma just be having a heart-attack? An office worker struck by electricity? Or maybe—"

‘Aren’t you even going to ask me why I did it?’ the low voice suddenly distracted my thoughts.

‘Nah, I think I know why you did it.’

‘Really?’ I felt her body shift towards me, from her back, she turned to her side to look at me and I opened my eyes slightly too.

‘Yeah, because I’m too attractive for you to handle,’ I really couldn’t say this with a straight face though. I burst out in laughter at the end and received a hit on the shoulder in exchange. ‘You just couldn’t resist, right?’

‘No, really. Ask me why,’ she poked my side.

‘Okay. Why in the name of the Lord is it that you suddenly just launched yourself at me in the middle of preparing for bed, if I may ask, milady?’

‘I like your pajamas.’

‘Hey, don’t avoid the question now—’

‘No, I mean, I like your pajamas so... I don’t know, instead of saying it so, I just felt like kissing you.’

‘Huh? ... Now, that’s pretty weird.’

‘Yeah, I know, right?’ she sighed and to her back again.

‘So, you said you liked Sooyoung’s bracelet just the other day...’ I mused. ‘Did you make out with her too?’

‘Would you be jealous if I said yes?’

‘Yeah, I’d totally kill that jangshin first thing in the morning,’ I yawned, ready for dreamland to finally take over my exhausted body.

‘Mmm...’ was all I could hear her reply and I felt her pulling up the blanket a bit higher next to me.

I heard her cough a few times, making it hard to fall asleep despite my tiredness and drunkenness.

“So that’s what that faint trace of mint taste was! If only she would stop straining her voice all the time, would be much better.”

Her cough pulled me out of my way to sweet dreamland again.

‘Fany, you need to stop trying to substitute a loud-speaker, okay?’

‘Shut up, Tae.’

I fell asleep, wondering how many times it had been we’d done this and if she had any plans to stop any time soon.

Yeah, I'm giving away the fourth chapter first, as the foreword. Don't ask me why. That's just how it is. :) *I might even change it a little bit later if needed. I might add a whole new part to the beginning too, IDK yet...*

Chapter 1 coming up next week. ^^

And thanks a lot for reading~! ^_^
