.·:·. that moment .·:·.
Ara stirred in her sleep, feeling something poking her cheek. She mumbled something indescribable and turned to face the other way, sleep eating her away.
But that something poked her back, and woke her up. And she was pissed.
Who dared wake her up from her much desired sleep? She was going to give them a talk and if they were lucky, they would dodge the giant fist that would be punched onto their–
"Jun?", she mumbled, closing her eyes due to exhaustion and also because she thought she was dreaming. She'd had some dreams where he came to sleep with her and they cuddled the night away, so she thought this was probably that case again.
"Ara, c'mon", he poked her cheek again and she caught his hand before he could retrieve it.
"I won't bite your fingers off, but I it surely has to be important or else you're dead", she whispered and he smiled down at her.
"It is", he assured her.
She groaned lightly and sat on her bed, realizing Yeonjun wasn't moving anywhere. She tilted her head and yawned.
"Then tell me", she said while trying to wipe the sleep off her eyes.
He took a bouquet of flowers from behind his back, they were half withered, but the little detail had her heart melting to a puddle.
"What are these?", her sleepy brain could barely process it all, but it sure as hell was a cute gesture.
"I need to tell you something"
"And you couldn't wait until morning?"
No, he couldn't. He woke up with the biggest urge to tell her he had feelings for her. He had tried to go back to sleep, but all he could think of were her lips and the feeling he was sure they would give him if he ever tasted them.
So he boiled himself some tea, but instead of calming his soul, he just felt a bigger urge to just have her in between his arms.
So he went out to the nearest park and chose the prettiest flowers he could see.
"Hm?", she raised both of her eyebrows and he just smiled wider, reaching a hand to caress her cheek.
"I just wanted to tell you something, Ara", he sighed while his cheeks blushed, and if it weren't for the lights being off, he would've seen her own cheeks the same crimson color.
"Okay, tell me", she smiled and he could feel with his hand still on her cheek, the way here eyes crinkled at the motion.
"Okay, here I go", he took a deep breath in, and let go a shaky sigh.
He was scared as hell. He didn't know why, but he was sure that her rejection would hurt ten times more than anything he ever thought was the worst pain ever. And he didn't know if he was ready for that.
But he knew that he had to take the risk. Because if she felt the same way, he would finally be able to express his feelings towards her, and to show her he would take care of her. He wanted to show Ara how much she meant to him, and that was the little push he needed to just tell her the truth.
"I think I'm falling in love with you", he let out lowly, eyes never falling in her face. "I have known that I like you romantically for a while, but it's more than just a tiny crush, a tiny feeling", he sighed.
"Wh–"
"You make me heart do weird things, and amazing feelings to fill my body with just your smile. And I always look for you when I guess you are around. I always want to hold you and to never let you go, and damn it, Ara, I really want to kiss you right now. I really want to kiss you all the time, it drives me crazy".
He fell silent after that. His breath was shallow and his heart was thumping on his chest, a feeling of uneasiness coming to him as she didn't say anything. It was a slow burning torture.
"I kinda need you to say something, Park Ara", he bit his lip nervously and managed to look into her eyes.
They were crinkled with a big smile, and she was holding onto her rosy cheeks with her palms. The sight in itself was a breath of fresh air.
"Say it again", she said after a second of just enjoying Yeonjun in his old shirt and pajama pants, hair sticking everywhere and that nervous lift of his lips that made him look so cute.
"What do you–?"
"Say it again, oppa", she pleaded and he smiled, his hand falling on top of hers on the mattress, leaning in so he could say it clearly.
"I am falling in love with you, and it's the best feeling ever, Park Ara".
"I am falling in love with you too, Choi Yeonjun. And it's also the best feeling ever", she whispered on his lips before taking his nape and bringing him closer, so she could finally taste those plump pillowy lips.
Nothing ever would be better than that moment.
The moment their feelings were finally out in the open.
