Yoohyeon's POV

Next morning, I woke up between Minji's hands. I wasn't at the couch anymore and I wasn't wearing my clothes either. I was wearing some purple pajamas actually. Minji's hug felt so warm and comfortable. I nuzzled closer on her neck.

"Mh~ Morning puppy." Minji said in her sleepy, hoarse voice. I could never get used to her morning voice. It always gave me chills down my spine. And I couldn't still believe that she was here. And that I was in her arms. She kissed my head and then my ear and that was enough to make me move my head from her neck and look at her. I was blushing again.

"Unnie! Don't do that!"

"You started it." She said chuckling.

"Yeah, but-"

"Morning to you too love!" She said rolling her eyes playfully.

"Yah! I was going to tell you that! But you started teasing me!" I growled cutely.

"Yeah yeah. Sureee!"

"But it's true!" I insisted.

"You are a really playful puppy. Not so innocent, I see." She said smiling evilly. Her hands on my waist started moving dangerously on my body and soon I couldn't stop laughing. She was tickling me.

"Yah! Unnie!" I was yelling at her to stop between my laughs but it was useless. I was laughing so hard and I was sure I was going to pee myself or even worse, to faint. Minji soon stopped. She was looking at me straight in my eyes smiling.

"I thought I was going to faint!" I yelled at her still laughing a bit.

"You know, your laugh is the best I've ever heard. I can listen to it all day." She said.

"That was so cringe!"

"You like it though." She said smirking even more.

"Yeah, whatever. My laugh is terrible unnie. You should really check your ears." I said and tried to stand up.

"Nah ah! It's true!" Minji said and dragged me down on the bed again.

"Let's stay here for awhile. I just want to have you in my arms for a little more." Minji said lovingly and nuzzled her head on my neck this time.

"Fine." I gave up.

"You want it too anyway. Stop complaining." She said smirking. I felt her lips on my neck and it made me shudder. I felt my body heat up.

"Yoohyeonnie... I'm sorry that you had to suffer all those nights without me. I know how you struggle with insomnia."

"It's fine unnie."

"You always say that. Is it though?"

"Even if it isn't, it's in the past now. We can't change anything. So it's fine for me. Really. Cause now you are back. And that's all that matters to me."

"Yoohyeon, oh my gosh! I love you so much you know that?" I nodded. But I felt like she wanted to hear me saying the same too. She nuzzled her head on my neck again, messing with me once again! This unnie really!

"Unnie..." I said.

"I'm sorry. I'll stop." She said and moved a bit.

"I love you. And I'll never get tired of telling you that." She said and kissed me. I kissed her back. But my stomach grumbled. We both laughed and broke the kiss.

"My puppy is hungry." Minji said and touched my tummy.

"Yeah, I am." I agreed.

"I am too. Really hungry." I wasn't sure if she was referring to the food actually or me anymore. I knew Minji was bolder to some things. And being away from me for this long...it would just...made her greedier to have me. I knew she could wait for me. But at the same time I didn't want her to have a hard time too. She was staring at me smiling seductively.

"Should I have you for breakfast then?" Her voice was so velvet. So intoxicating. I could feel myself almost giving in. But as she came closer to me, her hand still playing on my waist and tummy, I froze again. I felt my heartbeat quicken its pace and my veins all over my body throbbing too. What was I going to do? Why was I so scared and insecure? Minji soon smiled and moved back.

"I was just messing with you, puppy!" She said chuckling.

"Were you?" I asked her unsure.

"Yeah."

"Unnie, I know you are ready for me. And that you weren't just teasing. And-"

"Yoohyeon! We agreed to take it slow, didn't we?" I nodded.

"But, I feel guilty Minji. I-"

"Shh. Don't feel like that. We will take it slow. I'm not sure about this step either. So don't worry. If you aren't ready then I'm not either. I want us to be ready. Both of us. Or else...it's not love baby."She said and kissed my forehead. She then pecked my lips and pulled me closer.

"It sounds so good when you call me baby." I mumbled shyly.

"Then I'll call you that all the time. But for now, let's just sleep some more." I nodded.

"Thank you unnie."

"No need to." After a while of silence I spoke again.

"I'm wearing your pajamas though. That means that..."

"Yeah. I changed your clothes yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night and I thought that we wouldn't sleep comfortable at my couch so I brought you here. I also gave you purple pajamas cause I know you don't like pink that much."

"Yeah. Obviously!"

"But hey! That means... you saw me almost...naked..." I mumbled the last part blushing.

"Yeah. I did. And I can say that you have a really beautiful body babe." She said and winked at me.

"What? Excuse me?"

"I said you have-"

"Yah! I didn't mean that! You just agreed that you saw me with my underwear! I thought you were about to deny it!"

"But I did saw you. Why to deny it?"

"Minji you are a perverter!"

"No I am not."

"Yeah sure! You even complimented my body!"

"But it wasn't the first time baby. I have seen you with a bikini too. It's the same."

"Almost!"

"Anyway! It will take me some time to calm down but I'll be fine. Let's just sleep now." I said again. Minji was a bit confused as to why was I thinking like that or so much but she let it be.

"Good morning girls! How was yesterday's dinner? I hope good. Let's go have breakfast and you will tell me then. Come on." Seri said and then she got out of the room leaving us alone again. I was a bit sleepy but we had to go eat.

"Let's go puppy." Minji said shaking me slightly to wake up.

"Fine..." I mumbled and stood up. Minji was trying to hold her laugher looking at me.

"What?" I asked, my voice still hoarse.

"You hair. They are messy." She said and ended up laughing. I laughed too, just by seeing her laughing.

"As if yours are better!" I said laughing more.

"Come here." She said and helped me fix them a bit. Then she held my hand and we went downstairs.

In the kitchen, there was Seri and Minho already eating and Minji's mom cleaning the sink a bit.

"Good morning noonas!" Minho said and hugged us both.

"Morning little one!" Minji said cutely. We sat at our seats and Minji served us both breakfast.

"Good morning girls. How was yesterday night Yoohyeon?" Minji's mom asked me winking playfully. I knew what she meant. And as expected for me I looked at the table trying to calm myself and to not blush.

"Yah mom!" Minji scolded her.

"What? You are both old enough to do everything!"

"Yeah, we are. But we will take things slow." Minji said.

"I'm not asking you anyway! Kid!" Minji's mom said and pulled out her tongue to Minji. She was a really funny mom. And a really caring one. Minji rolled her eyes smiling a bit.

"I was talking to Yoohyeon. So how was it honey?"

"Well, I was expecting to have a dinner with you guys. And not Minji. So I was really shocked at first." I said and then told them the whole dinner thing.

And just like that, life went on smoothly. I had the best week of my life. Of course it was tiring too. I had to tutor the maknaes. And also I had a lot of work at the agency too. Minji didn't pressure me for dates but I tried my best to clear up my program just for her. And also my friends. And one night, Minji decided for us to go to the Han river for a walk. I had a really busy and tiring day. And I hadn't seen Minji all day. Minji thought that a walk by the river could make me relax a bit. And she was right. We, later on, went to my house and I told her to sleep there for the night. I missed her anyway. And she missed me too. We went to the rooftop of my apartment and sat there eating ice cream and looking at the dark, starry sky.

"Yoohyeon... I know that we've been dating for a week now. But I wanted to make things clear between us. I was planning this moment to be more special. But I know you are busy lately. And I just want to make things clear. I want it. And I'm not sure if I can wait more to be honest. Plus, I think that what matters is the moment and the words and not the place. We don't like fancy things anyway. So...do you want to be my girlfriend?" She asked me. I was frozen at my spot.

"I thought that I was?" I asked her unsure.

"Yeah. You are. But I haven't asked you out properly. And I want to call you my girlfriend and be proud of it. I want to call you that because you want to be my girlfriend and not just because it's something obvious. I want to know if you want that." She said. She was sure of the things she did in her life. She never had relationships, any kind of, that weren't clear. She had parents, a brother, best friends, friends, relatives, acquaintances. And she now wanted to have a girlfriend. And she wanted to be sure for that. That was how Minji worked. Putting names to relationships with people. Or else she got confused and she didn't like being in the grey zone with someone were things were... unclear and foggy.

"Yes. Yes, I want to be your girlfriend. Your everything. Yours..." I said smiling and held her hands. She was smiling from ear to ear, her eyes teary. She then hugged me tightly.

"I love you." She said and kissed me.

"I love you so much." She said again and kissed me again. I was about to say something but she said it first for me.

"I know it's hard for you. And I can wait for you. You don't have to rush. I know you feel the same. From your actions. It's just hard to say it out loud. Don't worry. I understand. And I'm willing to wait for you." She said smiling. I was so glad that she was such a good and understanding person. I nodded smiling to her. She realized what I had on my mind. That I was struggling to tell her that I loved her too. It wasn't that hard. I was just... insecure. I had learnt from life that everyone I loved left me all alone. So I was afraid to tell her. Afraid that she will disappear too.

"Unnie! You are back! I can't believe it!" Handong said hugging Minji tightly. She had just returned from China, yesterday to be exact. We were at my favourite cafeteria, me, Handong, Dami and Minji.

"Yeah. I have returned since two weeks ago. But you were missing so..."

"I missed you unnie."

"I missed you too Dong ah!"

"And I can't believe it! You two are finally together?"

"Yeah. We are." Minji said smiling and held my hand. I smiled too.

"I'm so happy! For both of you!"

"Yah! The great Kim Minji doesn't hang out without us and hangs out with Handong and Dami instead? What a shame!" Bora teased her yelling at her and sat next to me. She had just got in the cafeteria.

"I'm not. I just wanted to hang out with Dongie. I missed her you know!"

"Yeah yeah whatever! How are you Yoo?" Bora said ignoring Minji.

"I'm fine unnie. Why are you wearing that kind of clothes?" I asked her. She was wearing a short skirt, a really short shirt too, a pair of sunglasses and a hat.

"Oh! Me and Siyeon were going to go to the beach today. And the maknaes wanted to come too. So we just passed by here to greet you actually. And ask you if the rest of you want to come too."

"Beach! Can we go Minji? Pweeze?" I asked her acting like a cute puppy. I knew she liked that so much and it made her weak. She could never say no when I was acting like that.

"Fine. Let's go home to get ready then. We will meet there ok?" She said to Bora.

"It's cold Hyeon ah!" Minji grumbled at me. We were at the beach now and I was already inside the sea, swimming. Minji wanted to accompany me so she tried to get into the water soon too. But it was too cold for her liking. She always liked cool water, but not this cold. I came close to her and splashed her.

"Yah! It's not funny!" She said. She was freezing. She had hugged herself and her mouth was trembling a lot.

"Give me your hand." I told her. She looked at me and stepped back.

"Woaa! You don't trust me?"

"No. You will push me into the water and I'll be freezing even more!" She growled.

"Wow! Now I'm hurt. I wasn't planning to do that. You know I'm not such a player." I said pretending that I was hurt.

"I'm so-YAAHH!" She yelled as she was pushed into the water by Bora.

"Yeah, but I am!" Bora shouted playfully and left running. Of course she didn't want to deal with a really angry and wet Minji.

"YAH! It's so cold~" She whined trembling. Even her lips were purple from the cold.

"Come here." I told her. And she did. I hugged her tightly.

"I know this won't help you from getting cold. But you have to swim unnie. It will make your body warmer. A bit."

"I'll try it. But for now hold me close to you." She said pouting. She was the cutest human being. Especially now that she was sulking like that. Most of the time she was the one taking care of me and not the other way. So it felt kinda weird now. But it also felt nice. I always wanted to take care of her for once too.

"And you tell me that it's not Yooji!" Siyeon yelled at Bora pointing at us.

"It's definitely Yooji!" Dami yelled too. I felt my body warming up.

"Why are they arguing about that again? After a whole year?" Minji mumbled on my neck. I suddenly felt a really strong feeling. A really new one. I wanted to kiss her. So badly. She was just so sweet and helpless in my arms. So small. I wanted to make her feel loved. Cause I loved her. I wasn't that bold so I wasn't the one kissing her first. I haven't kissed her actually. Only pecks. She was the one kissing me first. Always. So I tried to make the move this time. 

I pulled her closer, holding her my her waist. Then, with my left hand, I touched her left cheek softly. Her skin was so soft. I was so afraid that I will hurt her. She was too soft. I moved the small hairs she had on her face and tagged them behind her ear. She raised her head and looked at me. Her now dark blue orbs calling for me. Her lips were still purple and trembling. I moved carefully and slowly closer to her.

"Yoohyeon?" She mumbled softly. It almost sounded like a soft moan. It gave me chills but it also made that feeling, that desire even stronger. I moved closer and touched her lips with my own. At first, it was just a peck. I moved back to look at her. Her eyes were screaming at me to kiss her deeper. Her gaze was hypnotizing. Full of passion and love. It pulled me closer. So I did. I kissed her again. Slowly but carefully. The addicting taste that I loved so much was there. Begging me for more. So I did. It was slow but passionate. I felt so powerful. So loved. And the way she was responding to my kisses, it made me even more hooked on her lips.
