Recap
" MinJoon, Minjoon-ah." I add an affectionate term at the end of his name following the Korean language.
" Wh- what?" He stutters at the unsuspected attack.
" I love you." I smiled gently. " But me loving you is different than you loving me."
~~~~~~~~~~
" That doesn't make any sense!" He cries out frustrated at my unreasonableness.
" How old do think I am?"
" Hah?"
" Just guess."
" ...You look like you're 27 to 30 in your original body, but you're probably much older since you're a system. A couple hundred?" I shake my head, no.
" ...A couple thousand? A couple hundred thousand? " I indicate 'no' again.
" You can't be older than a million, right?" Host rolls his eyes but stops when seeing my weird smile. " Seriously?!"
I nod. " You guessed correctly. I'm older than one million years old, I lost count of the rest."
" Age doesn't matter." Host stubbornly insists.
" It does. Especially with all the baggage I carry. My love would be too heavy for you to carry. And this is the first time you fall in love with someone. Actually, its more likely a crush for you, from depending on someone for the first time."
" Don't you dare try to tell me what I feel! Puppy love or heavy love, it's mutual damn it. So just give in to me already."
" Haha, you don't even know me to say you love me. I'm much crueler than what I've shown you so far." I'm not even human...
" Then let me get to know you. Let me at least try to carry your burdens. Give us a chance."
" There's no such thing as 'try'. Once you decide to be mine, you belong to me forever. And remember, we live forever."
" Forever sounds nice. Luckily I'm the type that gives my whole heart to only one person."
" ...Even if you try to run from me, I'll drag you back."
" Haha, I won't run. It's you that's been running!" He laughs in joy.
I lean in to capture his lips. Starting with a soft peck, then licking for permission to enter. He opens his mouth as he leans into me. After five minutes of deep kissing, he starts gasping for air, so I give him space breathe. He wraps his arms around my neck as I hug his waist.
He buries his face in curve of my neck. " Are we official now? No more pushing me away?" He questions our status timidly.
" Yeah, we're official. You're mine and I'm yours." I pat the back of his head to reassure him.
He snuggles deeper into letting out a deep sigh.
It seems I really troubled him.
I then feel his body go limp...?
" Minjoon? Minjoon?!"
I pick him up in a princess carry and put him on the bed. I place my hand on his forehead.
[ Scanning for abnormalities.]
This is much faster than going to a hospital.
[ No major abnormalities detected. Recommended deep sleep and proper nutrition for patient.]
Sigh. Thank god, he's just sleeping. Was he that exhausted? Maybe more emotionally tired than psychically.
I pull off his shoes and change him into a simple t-shirt and shorts to sleep in. I go to wash up in the bathroom connected to this bedroom. I come back and get in bed. I pull my host into my arms to get comfortable to sleep. I give his forehead a goodnight kiss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
True to minjoon's sleeping habits, he rolled on top of me in the middle of the night. I didn't push him off. I liked the weight and warmth his current body gave off.
At around 8 in the morning, host starts moving around.
" Hm?" Groggy, he tries to sit up, but realizes he's on top of me. "Ah. Right, that was real." He whispers seeing that my eyes are closed. He leans in giving my cheek a small kiss. " He's really, really mine." His cute giggles slip out faster than he can control.
"So fucking adorable."
" Huh?"
I tightened my hold on his waist and flip us over.
" Ah, you- since when were you awake?!" Embarrassed, he uses his hands to cover his face.
" I didn't sleep." I grin at him as I pull his hands off his face.
" Why? Ah, is it because of me?" He worries.
" Yup, it is because of you."
" Sorry." He frowns sad.
" You kept rubbing on me, it aroused me."
" Eh?! That's- sorry..." His blush deepens, reaching his ears and neck.
I snuggle into his shoulder. " It's fine, I enjoyed it." I also wanted to keep an eye on you.
I'm not the only one of us that runs. I run but always comeback to you. But you, you're just as cruel. You run off without looking back. You left for 5 years without ever contacting me. I'm the one that came to find you in the end.
Minjoon wraps his arms around my waist to pull me into a hug. He places a light kiss on my jaw line.
" What?" I raise an eyebrow at him.
" I love you." He grins.
I blink for a second before I start laughing. " I love you too."
We stay in bed for a few more minutes, just feeling each other's warmth. I almost fell asleep, but we don't have time for that.
" Come on, let's wash up and find something to eat." I get off the bed.
" Wait, I have a question for you." Minjoon pulls me back to sit.
" What is it?" I fiddle with his ear.
" Um, you never told me your real name..." He trails off.
" I've had thousands of names but none of them belong to me." I say as my hand travels to rub his neck. I keep wanting to touch him, to feel his presence.
" Oh." Surprised, his lashes flutter like a butterfly. I brush them lightly.
" You can call me whatever you want. I'll always respond to you." I lean in for a quick kiss before getting up.
After we wash up and change into the spare clothing found in the closet, I lead host to the kitchen. Riley was in there eating cereal.
" Morning." Host greets her as I walk past her.
" Hey! So you two, Huh?" She grins, wiggling her eyebrows.
As host struggles to reply I grab his waist and lean to kiss his cheek. " Yup, we're together." Host nods, agreeing with me.
" Cool. Now adopt me so we can be a happy family of three! If you want to adopt a girl, I volunteer!"
Minjoon laughs and goes to chat with her.
I roll my eyes and ignore her. I head to the fridge to see what I can make.
Hmm, there's not much stocked up.
" Alex." I call out to him.
" Yeah?" He turns to me.
" French toast okay?"
" Yeah." He nods smiling.
" Oh, can I have some too?"
" Sure, if you behave." And don't get too close to my Minjoon.
" I will! Make me some too!" She whines, tugging at Minjoon's sleeve.
' Make some for her too? Please.' He asks me mentally.
Sigh. "Fine."
' I want a reward later.'
' Reward?' Minjoon blinks. It makes my want to kiss him when he does that. And that's exactly what I do.
I walk up to him and lean down to kiss the corner of his eye.
" Ekk! No PDA in front of single people!" Riley shrieks covering her eyes.
