Chapter 16 - Lay Next To Me

You were left with Jung Ho. You took him from his hands. "Come after me." You started walking up the stairs and going up the roof. "Look at that." You pointed to the sky.

"You love rooftops and the stars, don't you?" He said following you to the swing.

"I am utterly in love with them." You said sitting down. "They're the most beautiful things in life. I remember watching The Lion King when I was a kid and ever since I just looked at them like they're true guidance in life." You sighed. "I feel like if I look at them long enough, I'd see everyone I love." You looked back at him. "Too cheesy, right?" He was looking at your eyes dance with joy and your mouth quivering with happiness as you talked about you little passions.

"Nope." He said. "I love the stars, too. I might not have the same perception as you do. They always consume me in the most comfortable way. If I look long enough at them they'd snatch me up and lay me on the clouds." You looked him in the eyes without him breaking his preset gaze. You smiled as you guys connected to the stars. You smiled as your eyes connected.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked as he looked down at your lips. "You're shining."

You started to move your head slightly to start a nod but your lips already crashed and the fireworks set off. He was soft as a cherry and sweet as whipped cream. You smiled and giggled.

"You taste like wine." He said as he broke the kiss.

"Speaking of stars," he said. "Who was the first celebrity you saw?" You felt safe with him. You felt calm, respected and cherished.

"That was Brad Pitt." You said. "I was at an awards show filming with ET news when he approached us for an interview. He was shining! I got too starstruck I almost fainted."

As you were talking you guys got more comfortable and you laid your head on his shoulder. You guys kept talking until you fell asleep. He scooped you up and took you to your room. He didn't know it was it but he saw that this was the biggest room in the house so he just put you in bed.

He kissed your cheek. "Jungie," you said sleepily. "Lay next to me." You requested as you held his hand.

He silently did so. You scooted in and he spooned you. His body wrapping around you to cover you like a mama bear protecting her cubs.

The time you spent with him was long enough to feel like you have been doing this for years. You got accustomed to this closeness with him. His arms encircled you. You buried you face in his chest and slowly drifted back to tight sleep. It was another night where you forget to take your meds.
