Divine Enmity (Catnipz)

XLVI. Don't Forget to Lock the Door.

"Stop! Stop!" Haerin begged, laughing.

Minji kept tickling her, laughing herself, ignoring her girlfriend's pleas. She continued attacking her sides with quick movements, while the other girl squirmed beneath her, trying to push her hands away or deliver flying kicks to make her stop, but she couldn't manage to halt her.

"I give up! I give up!" Haerin exclaimed between laughs.

Minji finally stopped, looking at her with a victorious smile. "That's what you get for saying my favorite movie is boring."

"I didn't say it was boring," Haerin defended herself, catching her breath. "I just said there are better ones."

"Take it back."

"Never," Haerin replied with a defiant smile.

Minji raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? Want me to start again?"

"Okay, okay," Haerin conceded, raising her hands in surrender. "Your movie is the best in the whole world."

"That's better," Minji smiled, leaning down to give her a quick kiss.

They settled back into the bed, Haerin resting her head on Minji's shoulder as she restarted the movie on the cabin's TV. The atmosphere in the cabin was warm and cozy, perfect for an afternoon of movies.

They'd been like that for hours, enjoying each other's company, until Haerin made a comment about Minji's favorite movie that she didn't like, and Minji decided to attack her with the worst torture imaginable: tickles.

Apart from that, the afternoon had been perfect. Well, that's how their days had been since they started dating. Haerin was extremely happy to finally be able to breathe easy with the dark-haired girl by her side, though sometimes their little arguments reappeared—nothing a few kisses couldn't solve later.

Speaking of kisses, that afternoon Haerin had discovered that her new favorite flavor was the combination of chocolate brownies and her girlfriend's kisses.

Minji began teaseingly playing with a lock of Haerin's hair, while Haerin traced invisible patterns on her arm. Occasionally, their eyes met, and they shared knowing smiles.

They spent most of the movie like that, caressing each other or getting lost in each other's gaze.

So damn sweet, all of it.

"You know, I don't think I've understood any of the movie," Haerin commented after a while.

Minji chuckled. "Oh, really? And why might that be?" she asked with feigned innocence, bringing her face closer to Haerin's.

"Mmm, I don't know," Haerin replied, playing along. "Maybe because a certain someone keeps distracting me."

"Me? But I've been perfectly still."

Haerin rolled her eyes affectionately. "Sure, perfectly still. As if you don't know exactly what you're doing."

Minji leaned in even closer, their lips almost touching. "And what exactly am I doing?"

Instead of answering, Haerin closed the distance between them, kissing her softly. Minji smiled against her lips, placing a hand on her cheek to bring her even closer.

The kiss lingered, leaving the movie playing in the background. They deepened the kiss, slightly parting their lips, allowing their tongues to explore each other. Minji positioned herself on top of Haerin, sliding her hand under her shirt, smiling at the gasp that escaped Haerin's mouth.

However, just then, the cabin door burst open.

"Hey, MinMin, do you have—? HUH!?"

Haerin shoved Minji off her with great force, causing her to fall flat on the floor, a visible grimace of pain crossing her face.
