I sighed sitting down on the table in front of IM and Minho. They were both talking about how there was a part in the choreo that they just didn't quite get it. It was 6th time today I tried to explain to them everything again.
"I just don't understand you're supposed to put the hand to the left or to the diagonal when you do it?" IM asked showing the two options
I looked at the clock and mentally cursed feeling exhausted because of the long day. I then turned my head to look at all the other Stray Kids members talking on the ground. Some already half asleep and only listening to the others, some engaged in a heated conversation about the award shows.
My tutor had already left about an hour ago and told me to stay and perfect the boys' tecnique. Han and Bang Chan stood up and practiced a few movements in front of the mirror slowly
"Guys, I'm going to go get water bottles.. who wants it?" I asked standing up
They all lifted up their hands, Changbin opened his eyes and asked for two. I walked out the door and felt the cold air hit my sweaty face. It was really hot in the room due to all the work everyone was doing..
I walked down the hall and into the main area where there were vending machines. I passed my card and got water bottles for everyone.
"Oh, you're here?" I heard behind me
I turned around and smiled seeing Jackson with his bag of clothes. He looked like he was ready to go home as well.. how I wished I could as well.. I was so tired
"Yeah, I'm getting water for the boys" I replied while taking some out and placing them on the table
"Do you need help?"
I shook my head, "It's fine, you can go home.. I have to go though, see you tomorrow!" I said picking up everything with my arms
I walked past him and in the middle of the walk I dropped two bottles so after giving the ones I could, I turned back around to get the ones I missed
I walked out and went against Jackson who had three in his hands "Agh.. you're so clumsy, here"
I took two of them but he shoved the third one in my arm making me confused
"It's for you dummy.. you should be taking care of yourself too" he smiled sweetly walking me back to the door
"I am, don't worry.. how is your back?"
He smiled and bit his lip "It's ok.. I'm trying to not do much though since I don't want to make it worse"
I nodded "You shouldn't.. well.. see you tomorrow!" I waved as I entered the room watching him wave back
We started up the rehearsal again for the last time. The final hour passed by and we finally wrapped it up.
"There'll be more tomorrow" Bang Chang shouted making everyone groan
I chuckled and gathered my things while lazily walking out the door "See you tomorrow guys.." I mumbled hearing them all say goodbye
I walked towards the elevator and entered it while closing my eyes. I then pressed the floor and felt it lift. It went to a higher floor before going down to the exit.
I walked out of it and then walked off passing my ID to sign off for the day. I turned the corner and furrowed my brows as I saw Jackson sitting by the entrance benches leaning on his elbows and looking at his phone
I walked closer to him catching his attention which only made him smile "You're still here?"
He chuckled and looked towards his bag picking it up "I was waiting for my girlfriend to get out of work" he simply said
I felt my cheeks get hotter while he wrapped his arm around my neck and started guiding me towards the doors
"Ahh.. you didn't need to wait.. you should be at home"
"And let you walk alone at night?.. Never in a million years" he chuckled "I'll give you a ride" he said as we walked out of the building and into the parking lot
He took his arm off of me and we both walked to his car. We got inside and stood there for a few seconds in silence. He picked up his phone and sent a few texts while I closed my eyes and just relaxed for a while feeling exhausted
"You wanna sleep at my house tonight? You could take a bath.. and I have food"
"I have food at my house Jackson.."
"Yes in that small machine you call refrigerator" he smiled while starting up the car
"Not everyone has a net worth of millions Wang"
"So, are you gonna sleep in my bed or not? The taxi is waiting for indications" he joked
"Take me wherever you want to take me"
"Oh so I can take you to like, a strip club or something huh?"
We both busted out laughing as he started backing the car up. The car ride was quiet but with small talk.. it had been about a week since me and Jackson had made our peace yet again. This was the first time I would be going to his house in a long time
"Still looks the same" I commented getting out of the car and into the garage
"Feels like home? Cause that's what I'm aiming for" he asked nervously while we walked to the elevator
"Hum.. I don't know.. gotta see the apartment first" I chuckled leaning onto his shoulder since I was truly tired
He rubbed my back and the elevator doors stopped to open. Walking out of it, I watched Jackson put in the code before opening the door
I threw my things onto the couch and threw myself to it. Jackson went to the bedroom to put his things down aswell and then to the kitchen so he could grab a drink, asking me if I wanted to drink anything, to which I replied no.
"I'm so tired.. I feel like my muscles are made of rocks" I chuckled feeling him sit down next to me while opening his can of juice
I leaned against his shoulder wrapping my hands around his arm. "If you want you can take a bath instead of a shower, to unstiff everything" he said turning on the TV
"Thank you.. I think I'm gonna do it then.."
He nodded and I stood up to walk to the bathroom. I got inside and noticed that he still had my things around.. he had my shampoo, hair conditioner, my body lotion.. only the soap was missing.. I smiled at how cute he was.. opening the cabinet, I notice that besides that, he still bought more, probably for if I came here, he would have more.. or maybe because he's been inviting girls to use them..
I touched the hair conditioner bottle and replaced it with a new one since it was already empty. I then reached out for a bottle putting it next to the huge bathtub. I bit my lip and opened the water watching it fill it up quickly.. I put in the liquid to make the bubbles and waved the water around
Having an idea, I then lazily walk out the door going to the kitchen to see that Jackson was still glued to the TV. I picked up a pack of candles he hand under the sink and some matchsticks and waked into the bathroom as well. I tried to light up as many candles as I could so that at least it was possible to see around the room without needing the lights. I then turned off the water as I noticed that it was filled enough and tied up my hair in a bun.
"Jackson!" I shouted as I started to get undressed
"Ah?" He shouted from the living room while I took my sweat pants getting fully naked. "Come here" I shouted as I got inside the bathtub until my body was fully covered by the bubbles. I had still so much space to spare.
"What?" He asked while slowly opening the door and peeking through
"You should join me.." I said smiling "To save water of course" I joked making him step into the bathroom
He looked around for a while "You sure?" He asked probably afraid that he would scare me away
I nodded "This tub is huge, it feels lonely here" I chuckled
He nodded and in a swift motion took immediately his shirt off revealing his sweaty body from the practices aswell
"Ah.. it's gonna be tough to cuddle you without wanting more" he giggled now more excited that he would get to hold me in a new way
"Think of it as a challenge then" I chuckled scratching my nose. He took off his sweatpants boxers and socks and then came closer to the tub. I moved forwards a little and he got in sitting down behind me. He opened his legs and grabbed my shoulders softly pulling me to his chest
He wrapped his arms around me and and kissed my forehead "Ah.. this is so romantic, why didn't I think of this before" he chuckled pouting his lips "I didn't know you had this side of you" he chuckled
"It's not that hard to think about this option when you have a boyfriend that loves bubble baths to relax.. I always wanted to join you but I never wanted to interrupt you so I never did" I confessed looking towards the ceiling
I closed my eyes and heard him talking through his chest "Well, you have my permission to do it everytime now.. this is amazing" he mumbled sinking us into the water a little bit more
We stood there in silence a little more, both of us hearing the water move against the walls of the tub
"Sing to me Jackson.." I asked
"Ah.. you really do like to hear me sing don't you?"
I chuckled nodding while he cleared his throat
This girl is like a dream
My wildest fantasy
And right when I think I'm gon' wake up
She's pullin' me right back in
To serenity
Girl I can't believe you're so unreal
Oh it's just somethin' about the way you move
You're like a flower in bloom
It's crazy how you can make me
Forget what I've been doin'
Oh it's a problem and growin' more and more each day
Girl whisper your sweet nothings in my ear
'Cause every word can speak to my soul
It's outta my control
Oh when you say my name
It sounds like a song
And I'd listen all day long
Oh I don't understand it
But I can't turn it off
Baby don't ever stop
Sweet talk to me babe
It's magical
Sweet lullaby
Oh it's so hypnotizin'
Sweet talk to me babe
It's magical
I wanna hear you sing it every night
I can't help this feelin'
Like I know your secrets
Hope it lasts forever, I want it, I want it
Whisperin' so gently
Eyelids gettin' heavy
Make it last forever, I want it, I want it
I smiled as I heard the rasp in his voice.. I loved to hear him sing, it was my favorite thing.. I love him with all my heart and I still can't believe how happy I am that we're together again
