~ Together by a String ~ (Jiyoo)

~30~

I stood up to stare at myself in the mirror and my cheeks were as red as a tomato. I splashed cold water on my face and smiled every time I remembered the thing she did. I took a deep breath and wiped my face with a towel and got out, avoiding Yoohyeon's gaze for my own safety.

I sat back on the bed, not facing her, and let out a sigh in hopes of trying to get my mind fixated on something else. She tapped on my shoulder and I just hummed as a responsible.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yup!"

"Why're you staring at my closet?"

"Oh, it's just.. The wood! Very pretty wood. It looks good. High quality stuff, y'know?"

"Aha.."

I nodded my head and kept on staring at the closet, internally cursing at myself for being so awkward. I'm so glad no one could read my mind because it was full of.. questionable thoughts. The tongue thing she did was still replaying in my mind and I couldn't hide just how much I loved what she did that I was so shy to turn around.

"Jiu, baby, can you look at me?"

"I am."

"You're not."

"Yes I am. I'm looking at your pictures on the wall."

I pointed at the hanged pictures on the wall and heard her audibly giggle. I felt the bed move, meaning she was coming closer. I gulped and closed my eyes, praying that I would survive what was to come.

She placed her hands on my shoulders and pulled me back to lie down on the bed, staring at me from above. I felt my eyes shaking as I didn't know where to look at other than her inviting lips.

"Did I make you flustered?"

"N-No.. Maybe..? Okay fine, you did!"

"You're so cute when you're shy."

She positioned her body infront of me and sat on my stomach, holding my hands in hers and moving them above my head in a lock. She seductively bit her bottom lip and leaned closer, her breath hitting my trembling lips.

I was trying my best to not fall for her teasing, but it lead to nowhere as I was visibly blushing and my heartbeat was out of control. I lightly turned my head away but she took this opportunity to smooch my neck, making me purse my lips and widen my eyes out of shock.

She stopped to look at me and I glanced back at her, motioning with my eyes that I want her to continue. She giggled and left a kiss on my jaw, moving up to my lips and hungrily biting them. I gladly let her enter my mouth with her tongue and do whatever she wanted, because I was that whipped at that moment-

*DING*

Yoohyeon stopped kissing me, to my dismay, and turned her head towards her laptop, which was where the notification sound came from. The fucking timing.. Yoohyeon squinted her eyes and happily gasped when she saw a red and white notification box pop up on her desktop. She moved away from me and sat on her chair to check what the message was.

I was silently cursing at the interrupting message but noticed how excited yet nervous she looked. I slowly tip-toed to her, curiosity getting the best of me, and checked what got her so excited and smiled when I read the message.

"Dear Kim Yoohyeon

Congratulations and welcome to the Class of 2023 at the Arctic University of Norway! On behalf of UIT's faculty, staff, students and alumni, it gives us a great pleasure to inform you that you have been admitted to UIT, English Acquisition and Multilingualism - Linguistics."

I carefully read everything, not understanding half of it since it was in English, but by the look on her face, I could tell it was great news.

"I got accepted! I'm actually going to study in Norway, oh my god!"

"I'm so proud of you baby."

I opened my arms and Yoohyeon threw herself just like a koala and hugged my body with her limbs. I spun her around and laughed from elation, soon getting dizzy and both of us falling on the bed, laughing even more. I looked at her side profile and saw the sparkling light of happiness flashing in her eyes.

I wasn't going to lie, I was very overjoyed that I couldn't stop myself from shedding a few tears out of nowhere. I have never cried for someone else's fortune, but since it was Yoohyeon, it felt like her success was mine. Her happiness meant the world to me and being able to experience it with her made me very emotional.

Yoohyeon poutily looked at me and cuped my cheeks, babying me and chuckling at my crying face. She wiped my tears away with her thumbs and kissed my cheek, lowering her hands to hug my waist and closing her eyes.

I caressed her head and pecked her temple, staring at the blurry ceiling because my eyes were still watery. I really wanted to spend more time like this, but now that the flight and performance were in less than 5 days, we didn't really have a lot of relaxing things to do.. so I thought of something that I was sure she would agree to.

"Hyeonie, do you have any plans for the next three days?"

"Hmm.. not really, why are you asking?"

"I have an idea."

"Is it a good one?"

"It's a 'I'm more than sure you'll like it' type of good on."

I stretched my hand to grab my phone from the ground and showed her a screenshot of something, that made her raise her eyebrow.

"What is this? A QR code?"

"It's a code I got from my father's phone and it's a free pass for a 3 day stay at any 5 star Korean hotel of our own choice. So I thought.. how about we go to Jeju island?"

"Jeju!? Are you sure that code is still valid and you won't get in trouble?"

"Pretty sure. So, what do you say? We can bring the others with us as well?"

"How can I say no to such offer."

I smiled and pulled her in a tight hug. She laid her head on my chest and played with a few strands of my hair, humming a sweet melody. I closed my eyes and almost fell asleep due to the softness of her breathtaking voice. Suddenly, she started moving around a bit more and sat up on my thighs and placed her hands on my waist, dragging them along my chest, towards my neck and jaw and lastly squeezing my cheeks, all while moving her hips and humming a melodic type of sound.

"♪Ah, how nice it is to have a smoking hot, erotic and rich sugar mommy~♪"

"Oh shut the fuck up."

We both laughed in sync and played around with tickling and throwing pillows at eachother.

I flopped my body on the bed and Yoohyeon giggled, burying herself in my neck and leaving many soft pecks on my nape. I flinched because of the ticklish feeling and repositioning myself in a way to stare at her face. She teasingly sticked her tongue out and I laughed, placing my hand on her cheek and letting our lips do the thinking.

I was in heaven. Her bright smile, her intelligence, her lovely personality, her cheesiness, her features - I loved everything about her. Never have I ever met someone as angelic as her. It might be too soon to say it, but I really planed to be with her forever.

I want us to forever stay together like this.
