My Heart and Seoul (12): Day After....

When I woke up I was confused for a moment before all my memories came flooding back all at once.

Holy shit.

My god.

I had hooked up with Jaehyun. We did.... a lot.

I felt two arms around my waist tighten as if to confirm what had happened was not in fact some sort of hazy steamy dream. Oh my god I can't believe I did that. But do I regret anything?

No, I don't regret what happened. I'm an adult and I should look at what I did as such. But that was... something on a whole other level. I didn't know about these things because he was the first and only guy I've ever been with to this level. I had looked at the time on my phone which had been left haphazardly on the floor. It was early, really early. Only 5:49am.

I turned in his arms to face a sleeping Jaehyun, the sheets covering him up to his abs, leaving the rest of him exposed to my gaze. Waking up to this was definitely a treat. It seemed that I was caught looking because I saw a small amused smile cross his face even though his eyes were closed. It made me almost laugh, but I kept it quiet and started kissing his neck to try to get him to wake up. I could feel him tense up and continued my little plan going south.

"Okay you win..." he said in a mildly tired voice. I grinned, he reacted to that.

"Well good morning." I said snuggling up to him as I was cold. We had the sheets but it didn't do much when we weren't wearing anything.

"It's definitely a good morning, do you know what would make it great?" He said in a suggestive tone.

I was about to say something when he pulled the sheets off....

When we were done it was 7:23 so we decided on just getting ready for the day and heading in straight away. We were both planning on sneaking past to go to the bathroom and have a shower, but as soon as I opened the door and we stepped out- me in his shirt and Jaehyun in just his boxers we were greeted with a sight that made us jump.

Lishi was sitting on the breakfast bar sipping coffee with her phone in hand looking straight at us, like she had been expecting us. The living room was clear of everything so the boys had left last night. Well I was preoccupied so I really can't say much can I?

"Heyyyyy." I said dragging out the y with a slightly overboard smile.

"Go ahead and shower Jaehyun, Rae's towel is the green one and don't touch the lavender soap." Lishi said ignoring my awkward greeting. Oh dear.

Jaehyun gave me a quick peck on the cheek before bolting.

"Now..." I could see the look in Lishi's eyes and it made me sweat." Sit down."

I sat down across from her and as soon as she heard the shower water start running she proceeded to smack my arm.

"Look at this." She said pointing to her eyes. Her previous eye-bags has deepened slightly, most likely from lack of sleep. Nothing make up couldn't hide but I could see it as she wasn't wearing anything.

"This was because I knew exactly what you guys were up to, and I couldn't sleep. Also who goes at it like that for that long that's so gross overhearing tha-" she continued her rant and I had let my face fall on the counter absolutely mortified.

"You heard us?" The embarrassment was dripping from my tone.

"My room is right next to yours! It's not on the other side like Seohyun's! Goodness its lucky Lamon was the only one to catch on." Oh no Lamon knows. This guy he's the queen of loving gossip.

"Oh my Lord. Can the ground just eat me now?" I said to no one in particular.

"But at the same time holy shit Rae! You and Jaehyun look at you guys!" She said with an amused grin.

"I call it a mix of soju and stargazing." I said pushing myself up and sitting up properly.

"Well don't you like him?" She said curiously.

Do I like him? I always feel safe and comfortable around him. But he was also new and exciting. I found it cute that he got shy and his little protests when the others tease him. He was kind and considerate at all times, a true gentleman but he also never hesitated to tease me, especially when he called me noona for fun.

"Do I like him? Yeah... I really like him." I said as if it was a revelation, which it kinda was. I really do like him.

"Ooh look at that smile! Aw you guys are gonna be cute." Lishi said nudging me.

"But next time do it when I'm not around, I don't think I can ever look at your bed." She finished mock shivering in disgust before laughing. It made me laugh too.

Jaehyun came out of the shower in one of my towels and rushed quickly inside my room avoiding Lishi. I went in and showered as well, avoiding getting my hair wet, because wash and detangle day is tomorrow since I did it the day before yesterday as well. After a few minutes I came out as well greeting Jaehyun in my room who was getting dressed.

"I forgot about this hoodie I guess it comes in handy today." Jaehyun said amused as he picked up the hoodie he had given me. The one from the time my shirt ripped. Ah the memories. I had gotten dressed in my regular blouse and skirt combination, this blouse was red and the skirt was a charcoal grey.

"I expect another in return then. They're nice." I said with a mock serious tone. He chuckled and nodded.

"Anything for you princess." He said bowing dramatically. I chuckled as well as I fixed the messy bun. I would've slicked back my hair but there was no time, not even to do my hair or make lunch. Because they had practice and their show on Idol Master that afternoon.

We were about to leave when Lishi pulled Jaehyun to the side and told me to go ahead. Alright... I went over to a small coffee shop nearby and got some iced coffee for myself and one for Jaehyun. Lishi already had hers but I figured getting her some chocolate milk would be a good present for having her endure any noise last night. They had both met with me just as I had exited the shop and I had handed them their drinks.

"What was that talk about?" I asked casually sipping my drink.

"Nothing much. He forgot to lace his shoes so he was about to face plant into concrete." Lishi replied.

Jaehyun nodded as well in agreement so I simply shrugged and continued sipping my drink. Jaehyun wore his mask and a beanie so he just held his drink in his hands as we walked to the building. Our new apartment wasn't too far from the building but it was an extra five minutes away making the total time walking now 15 min. We had walked in and headed up on the elevator. Everything was uneventful so far. Except Jaehyun took one of his hands in mine and we held hands all the way up making my face heat up slightly, to his amusement.

"Are you guys going to be like this all the time? It's cute but I'm drinking my chocolate milk here." Lishi said with a raised eyebrow making me awkwardly cough and let go.

As soon as the elevator stopped I went first to go into the practice room. We were about four minutes late so I could see everyone stretching and preparing already.

"Hey it's Rae noona! And... Jae-hyung?" Seungho greeted enthusiastically when I entered but looked so confused when Jae did as well.

Lamon took one look at us and burst out laughing. He didn't even make my attempt at hiding his joy from this entertainment.

"Well. Seems like you two are here safe and sound." He said in between laughs. It got the point where just sat on the floor giggling.

"Hey leave her alone." Jaehyun said fiercely oh my. This is a big change from him yesterday morning. Well then again yesterday was one heck of a day- and night but you already know the story.

"Ooh he's getting fierce." Daehyun said snickering.

"Well I'm off, also Jaehyun you have the sucking power of an algae eater damn look at her neck. Well actually look at yours too." Lishi had dropped her bomb before walking away casually sipping her chocolate milk.

Oh.

My.

No.

I had immediately turned to Jaehyun and there you have it, clear as day a love mark right on the base of his neck. He looked at mine and I could see his equal oh my god reaction.

"Yours doesn't poke out as much it's okay. Just don't wear any tank tops and stuff." He reassured me. Oh damn but his is visible.

"Why do they have- oh." Seungho stopped himself mid sentence and looked at us with a look of surprise.

"YOU AND RAE NOONA?!" He screeched. I understand the aspect of 'oh damn two people got together' but is it this much of a surprise?

"Yes and can we get back to work please without too much craziness?" I said hopefully. Thankfully they listened and got started with practice. I decided to head into my office and get my work done for the day.

Jaehyun's POV (Starting from the night before just after they did it)

Oh my god. Right now I was holding the girl I met in Birmingham, in my arms. We're both as naked as the day we're born and we just made love. I could see her slowly drifting off to sleep, but I stayed awake for a little longer so I could look at her face. I don't know what came over me, maybe carnal desire. Whatever it is the moment her lips touched mine I needed her more than ever.

I can't believe it. Here I was a while ago getting teased for not talking to a gorgeous girl, and now we did it. But it was about more than that too. Looking her softly snoring I gave her a light kiss before I fell asleep as well.

The next morning I was woken up because I had felt Rae's eyes searching my body. I tried to hide my smile as best I could but it slipped out and I could hear her suppress a giggle as I kept my eyes closed, pretending to sleep. Until she started kissing my neck which was- well I won't describe things for you.

After our ahem shared activities we snuck out to try and get a shower in, but the sight of her best friend made my heart jump twenty feet. She was silently sitting there so I never noticed she until she purposely sipped her drink extra loud making us jump. I have to say I'm slightly scared by this girl sometimes. She's fiercely protective of her friend. And I could see she cares about Rae a lot. As do I. But hers is more of a sisterly love. We had gotten ready at first without much surprises before Lishi pulled me to the side to talk.

"Alright I want to know do you really care for my friend?" She said.

"Of course. I wouldn't have gone so far if I didn't." I said honestly. God with everything we went through so far, it just made me fall even deeper for her.

"We need to lay down some rules. First if me or Seohyun are in the apartment please don't hook up I don't need to be scarred for life." She said shivering in slight disgust. Oh wow she heard? I feel like the caveman in me has come out slightly but damn.

"Second is you hurt her I'll destroy your very soul. Nobody harms my bestie okay?" Her next was a threat that made me stand up in slight alarm. Wonderful friend, terrifying if pissed off, I get it.

"And third whatever you do treat her like a damn queen. No matter what the relationship status is whatever you do you'll respect her and treat her right. You understand?" She finished looking me in the eye with a fierce look of 'do not mess this up' and I nodded meeting her eyes. She nodded seemingly satisfied.

"Now lets go and find Rae."

We met up with Rae outside a small coffee shop that was only thirty seconds away and she had come out carrying iced coffee and some chocolate milk. Lishi's eyes zeroed in on the milk and she took it immediately stabbing into the large cartoon and taking a sip. Wow she must like chocolate, actually I'm the same but I can't have that much. Hm maybe she'd enjoy some chocolate as an apology to having to overhear me and Rae last night.

We had reached the practice room finally and Rae looked slightly embarrassed so I gave her hand another encouraging squeeze before we opened the door to get in.

"Hey it's Rae noona! And... Jae-hyung?" Seungho's normally enthusiastic greeting was cut short when he saw me enter behind Rae.

Seungho isn't that innocent he knows about what can happen it's that he's never seen or heard anything related to it so he's still a little innocent. Lamon however spares no one and when we saw us he immediately started laughing his ass off.

"Well. Seems like you two are here safe and sound." Lamon's joking tone made me frown, as I could see Rae being a little embarrassed by whole teasing.

"Hey leave her alone." I said seriously making him laugh more. He had finally calmed down after a while and Lishi turned around to leave before dropping a bomb.

"Well I'm off, also Jaehyun you have the sucking power of an algae eater damn look at her neck. Well actually look at yours too." Oh no.

I looked at Rae's neck and saw a hickey poking out slightly. Her blouse made it so that unless you really looked at her you wouldn't see it peeking out. Once she saw my neck and looked shocked I knew mine was way worse. I tried looking down and saw a tiny glimpse of it from my angle, but it looked it it was on the base of my neck.

"Why do they have- oh." Seungho stopped himself mid sentence and looked at us with a look of realisation and surprise.

"YOU AND RAE NOONA?!" He said with his eyes bugging out.

Rae exited herself soon after but I could managed to give her a kiss on the cheek that lasted a split second before she left. We had started practice soon after but all the guys did was look at me with a mixture of impressed and surprised looks.

"Jae when I joked that you should marry Rae I didn't realise you'd jump into bed so fast." Daehyun said teasingly.

"Oh my innocent eyes. I am only 17 I did not need to know about this." Seungho said rolling around from his position lying on the floor. Yamato laughed at his innocence but looked at me seriously.

"Rae is a really nice girl. Don't hurt her okay?" He had a stone cold serious face and I nodded.

I was kinda touched that the whole group cared about Rae so much. We haven't known each other for long but we've already been through a lot. With that fateful meeting in the UK, the weirdo mugger and seeing her in an ambulance scared the hell out of me. The reasons may be unclear, and things seem to be moving at a warp speed but I wasn't going to waste any chances. I don't want her to be with any other guy, so I want to do things properly from now on. Although what happened last night isn't off the table.

"Ooh he's blushing is he thinking about Rae?" Minjae said poking my cheek. I pretended to try to bite his finger off and he laughed pulling it away.

"Let's go we have to practice and then go straight to the Idol Master set." I said taking off my hoodie so I wouldn't overheat.

"Jaehyung save the strip show for Rae." Daehyun snickered and the others laughed so I threw my hoodie at him hitting him square in the face.

Sometimes I wonder who I am friends with, oh well I'm stuck with them.
