She touched to his lightly, intending to take it slow, but he was beyond that.  He took with rough intensity, kissing her until she couldn't think straight.  Her body was aching with need. He laid her down gently on the bed.  Then he stood and pulled his tshirt off, baring his muscular body.  Shin Hye was salivating. She reached up to touch him.  Finally!  Her ears started to ring.

Shin Hye woke from her dream to the sound of her phone ringing.  Dang it! Why did it always end at the good part?  She swears she and Min Ho has to be the most ually frustrated two people ever in dream land, her dream land at least. Tonight was the farthest that she and Min Ho had ever gotten in her dreams.

Whoever is calling her at this hour had better have a good reason for disturbing her dream.   Shirtless Min Ho!  Oh, it better be a darn good reason, she cursed, or someone is going to die. She picked up her phone and answered without checking who the caller was.

"Hullo." 

"Math is still not your best subject, I see."  Said the voice on the other end.

"Hm. How so?"  Shin Hye settled back on her pillow with a smile on her face.

"You have forgotten how to count.  This month has 31 days."  The voice told her.

"Uh huh."  She replied.

"Do you know what day today is?"  The voice was getting exasperated.

Shin Hye checked the time on her beside table.  It was 12:02 am.

"Hm. January 14th...barely." She said.  Her smile widened.  That sensation she felt from her dream returned to her body.

"Were you really sleeping?" The voice was really exasperated now.

"Uh huh."

There was a long silence. She thought maybe the connection was lost.  But, then she heard a sigh.

"Come outside."

Shin Hye sat up, wide awake now.  "You're outside?  My home?"

"Yes.  Hurry.  Dress warmly, it's freezing out." He said.

Shin Hye hopped out of bed and ran to her closet.  She was dressed in less than 5 minutes.  She grabbed her coat and scarf and tiptoed downstairs, being careful not to wake her parents.

She stepped out the door and looked up and down the street trying to see which car he was in. 

Less than 5 minutes.  Min Ho was impressed. He was also relieved.  He had a small fear that she wouldn't come. He flashed his car lights to let her know where he was.

Shin Hye got into the passenger side and turned to him.  She had missed him so much.  A lot more than she thought she would.

"Oppa.  This is crazy."  She said, grinning at him.

"Crazier than making out in public at 11 oclock at night?" He grinned back reminding her of LA.

He started the car and pulled into the street.

"Where are we going?"  Shin Hye asked.

"Do you have a preference?" Anywhere that they could have some privacy.  He would suggest his place, but he didn't think she would agree.

Shin Hye considered the options and settled on what made the most sense. "I'd like to go home with you." 

He shot her a surprised look, then chuckled. Why was he even surprised at the way her mind works?

They drove to his home in silence. Neither wanting their reunion greetings to be in a car.

Shin Hye looked around his house as he closed the door and disarmed the alarm.  He helped her take off her coat and tossed it along with his coat on the closest chair.

He stood there waiting for her to turn around and greet him.  He ran greedy eyes over her back. He had missed her so damn much.  After tossing and turning in bed for almost an hour, he gave up trying to sleep.   He gave in to impulse and drove to her house, not sure of his reception.

"Were you dreaming of me, Shin Hye?"

Shin Hye turned around and looked at him with wide eyes and mouth open.  How did he know?  "How?"

"I couldn't sleep."  He told her.  Ah, she was dreaming of him.

Shin Hye remembered the Japanese legend he had told her.  A slow smile spread across her beautiful face.

"Oppa,  you must have had a lot of sleepless nights this last month then." She stated.

He opened his arms wide as she took the steps necessary to go to him.  His arms closed around her pulling her close.  She reached her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you." She told him as she squeezed tighter. "I missed you so much."

He lifted her chin up and brought his mouth down to hers in a kiss filled with love and longing.  She matched his intensity, pressing herself closer.  He cupped her face and deepened the kiss letting go of the loneliness that had been his constant companion for the last month.  

Their passion got out of hand quickly.  While Shin Hye twined her arms around his neck, his hands found their way inside her sweater.  He touched her bare s instantly.
