Shared Spaces & Hidden Desires • Seungcheol

5 - Shift

YN

A month has passed and I've managed to adjust myself with college life pretty well by now but home life with him? That's a whole different story.

Everything between us shifted that day. We started speaking less often and we don't spend as much time together as we used to.

Ever since that day, being at home with him feels like being trapped in a constant pull. Whenever he's around, it's like my body can sense his presence before he even arrives. My desire to run over to him and beg him to touch me became harder and harder to keep in.

All the plans we had before leaving home and moving here together for college, gone. All replaced by the sexual tension between us, preventing our innocence from interacting, too afraid that the desire will take over at any sliver of a moment.

I'm sitting on the counter, drinking my cup of coffee when I feel the hairs on my body rise.

He's here.

I prepare myself to see him when I hear the elevator ding and hear three distinct voices.

"You lost again! Pay up," I hear Jeonghan's voice say.

"BUT YOU KEEP CHEATING!" Mingyu's voice screams.

"Would you have won if you cheated? I don't think so," that deep familiar voice belonging to Seungcheol teases.

Then they appear before me in their golf fits, all looking good as hell. Especially him.

They all turn to me before Jeonghan greets me first, "Hey yn."

"Hi yn! What you doing?" Mingyu adds.

My eyes darted to Seungcheol deep down expecting him to say something as well and instead I got that piercing look of his.

I shift my eyes towards Jeonghan and Mingyu and smile, "Hey guys. Just drinking my coffee." I raise my cup up at them to indicate what I said.

Jeonghan walks up to me and leans down on the counter across from me. He bats his long lashes at me and takes my cup of coffee and starts drinking from it.

"You always make great coffee. You should really open a cafe," he pauses from drinking and comments before tipping the cup back into his mouth and finishing the whole thing.

He puts the coffee down in front of me and licks his lips then smiles and adds, "Thank you." He winks at me as I roll my eyes so used to this by now.

Funny how close I've gotten to them since they come by so often and sometimes stay over that it sometimes feels like I have three housemates instead of just one.

If I'm being honest, I'm much more relaxed when they're around because I get distracted by them instead of having to completely feel the goosebumps I have from him.

Jeonghan turns back towards Seungcheol and Mingyu, joining them at the dining table. Right on cue, I see my phone light up showing Sujin's name.

I pick up my phone and start walking up the stairs to get ready to go out with my two best friends.

"I'm on my way to pick up Jiwon already," Sujin informs.

"Okay, I'm getting ready now. I'll see you soon," I answer and end the call right after.

I start getting ready, putting on my clothes and make up and finally spritz my perfume. I leave my room running down the stairs as I call my driver to meet me at the lobby.

"Bye guys," I wave at them as I run to the elevator.
