Only You

Chapter 28

IU's POV

"The night is still young. What are you going to sleep for?"

His breath warmed my neck, and shivers ran through my entire body as his lips came into contact with the sensitive skin there.

"W-What are you doing?" I stuttered, even though I had a pretty good idea of where this was going. 

I felt his mouth curl into a smile at the affect he was having on me, and his hands tightened on my waist as I was suddenly flipped over. 

With his weight pressed on top of me, he continued to nuzzle my neck, and my hands automatically lifted to twine in his soft, unruly hair. 

Slowly propping himself up on his elbows so as not to crush me, his bright eyes met mine, a soft flush visible on his usually pale cheekbones. My hands fell back down to my chest, as I didn't know what else to to with them.

"You're beautiful." he murmured, taking in my disheveled appearance and pressing a kiss on the corner of my lips.

I reached up and brushed away a strand of hair that was covering his eye, and was about to kiss him for real when the front door slammed from downstairs.

Lay's POV

Trying to pass the three stages in the Medical Licensing exam was the hardest thing in the world. I took care to quietly shut the door to my room after accidentally banging the front door. Jieun could sleep through a pack of elephants tap-dancing, so I wasn't too concerned.

Not even bothering to take off my jacket, I collapsed onto my bed just as the digital clock on my nightstand flashed twelve A.M. From there, my world turned pitch black as I fell into a deep slumber, exhausted from the intense day of studying.

IU's POV

"What was that?"

I lay very still, listening for further disturbances and trying to ignore the disappointment as Jungkook shifted off of me to go turn off the lights. 

"It's probably nothing. I locked the door after dinner." I said, sitting up and brushing a strand of hair out of my eyes. 

His dark figure moved from across the room to my bed, and gracefully slipped himself under the covers with his back facing me. 

"If it's a creepy murderer, I'll protect you." he mumbled softly, already starting to drift off.

How does he sleep in these situations?!

"Aren't you supposed to sleep on the floor?" I said slightly crossly to his back.

"And aren't you supposed to sleep with ten layers on?"

I scoffed softly, then admitted defeat by snuggling up to his back and leaning my cheek against him...

The next morning...

Lay's POV

The bed was so incredibly warm. I let out a satisfied sigh, and rolled over, right into something else. 

Peeking open one eye to see a sleek mess of dark brown hair, my other eye also flew open to see the unfamiliar figure in my bedroom.

I immediately sat up straight against the bedpost and moved to the other side of the bed, startled out of my wits.

She stirred slightly at the movement of the bed and let out a small satisfied sigh. She stretched, screwing her eyes shut and scrunching her face cutely, then sat up so abruptly that I jumped slightly at the movement.
