The Building Blocks of Lo (1/1)

I woke up to a text message from Jonghyun, reading it with barely opened eyes having woken up moments ago,  "Morning beautiful, slept well? Dreamt of me right? Heh~ See you later <3"  My heart swelled as I read it and with a wide grin I got myself ready for school. As I walked up to the school gates, there he was stood, looking around eagerly until our eyes met and he happily hurried over to greet me with a hug. "Minhee-ah~" He breathed into my hair then pressed his lips against the top of my head* I sighed softly into his chest, my arms going back around him then I looked up at him with a wide smile. "Did you wait long..?" He shook his head then gave my nose a gentle peck. I blushed then attempted to fight back a smile whilst giving him a warning look. I didn't feel comfortable with publicly displaying our relationship, especially with the amount of glares I've been given in the short amount of time I've been stood with him.  The bell rang, signalling for lessons to begin and with a last hug he whispered softly beside my ear, “See you at break, okay?” I smiled broadly, shyly giving him a peck on the cheek in response before hurrying inside to begin my school day.The next two hours seemed to drag by. My eyes followed the clock with the occasional yawn. Whilst I had slept well yesterday, I’d sacrificed some precious sleeping time to spend with Jonghyun, worth it though. When my last class before break ended I gathered my things before leaving with haste. I found Jonghyun outside, stood beside the tree where I sat last time when we talked. He looked at me with a bright smile to which I gave him one in return.  His hand reached forward to carefully push aside stands of my hair away from my face and I awkwardly looked down, finding the silence and his presence alone extremely overwhelming. I could sense him leaning in again and I held my breath, waiting for our lips to make contact once again until a sudden call of my name could be heard. I whipped my head around, seeing Hyomin to my shock. I completely forgot to tell her. Her jaw dropped at the sight of us two, the realisation of the situation dawning on her then she gestured she’d talk later, hurrying off in an embarrassed hurry. I glanced back at Jonghyun who gave Hyomin a narrowed-eyed glance as she disappeared. “She didn’t mean to do that,” I said softly in her defence. Honestly I was disappointed that we didn’t kiss as the bell rang immediately after. We departed with a hug and continued with the remainder of our day.After getting home I crawled onto my couch in my uniform, bringing my knees to my chest as I get my phone out. “Sorry for not mentioning earlier, we got together last night” I texted Hyomin.My phone vibrated soon after with a reply. “No no don’t apologise!! I came at a wrong time right T___T sorry!! But you need to tell me everything okay?! Now!!”  I smiled whilst reading the reply and I invited her to come over.She came just before dinner, my mother greeting her first and then we rushed off to my bedroom. The second I closed the door Hyomin immediately said, “Spill, now.” I giggled then began my story as I sat on my bed, hugging a pillow close to myself.  She listened intently as I spoke, gripping onto my every word and the occasional squeal escaping from my lips. After I told him how he confessed she reached over to hug me tightly. “Minhee-ah, I’m so happy for you!”  I returned the hug, a small smile on my face and whispered a quiet ‘thanks’. After eating dinner we went back to my room to complete our homework for that evening. Around 8:30pm Hyomin's phone vibrated, it was a text. Upon reading it she sighed, hastily sending her reply before she began to gather her things. "I'm so sorry Minhee but I need to leave...oppa is really annoyed I'm out so late..." I gave her a reassuring smile along with a nod to show I understood. It was dark outside anyway, her brother has a huge responsibilty right? We hugged before she left, leaving me to pack away my things now to get ready for bed. I changed into my shorts and singlet then scooped a textbook off my bedside table to do some studying for a test I had before I went to sleep.Around an hour later of reading in bed, I yawned, glancing at the time. It was now 10pm to which I decided now would be a good time to sleep. I settled down into bed then at that precise moment my phone vibrated. Jonghyun. "Look outside," it read.I widened my eyes at my screen then scrambled out of bed to peer out of the window. There he was, stood waving with that ridiculously handsome grin of his. I mouthed at him to ask what the hell he was doing, after all sleep is freaking precious to me!! He gestured with his hands for me to let him in then reluctantly I tip toed downstairs to open the door. He was stood there in no more than a tshirt and jeans in the night time cold. He was moments away from greeting me with a kiss but I pulled him inside to the warmth of my home before hissing, "Are you insane?! Mum will go nuts if she sees you here!!"He looked at me sadly, obviously expecting a better reaction from me seeing as he came so far. "I just wanted to see you..it's lonely at my place" I sighed, going silent for the next few moments but I couldn't resist those sad eyes from him any longer so I tip toed to give him a small peck. "Thank you for coming here..but you do realise you can't stay," There was no way I was going to risk him being caught. He understood but that didn't stop him from being sulky. He gently slipped his arms around me, pulling me into a warm embrace. I shut my eyes, resting my head against his warm chest with my own arms going around his neck. I looked up at him, my eyes were heavy and tired but his smile kept me awake. My eyelids slid shut as he leaned in, pressing his soft lips onto mine. With my head tilted aside slightly I responded to the kiss along with my arms tightening around his neck whilst his hands around my waist gently slid up and down my back in a soothing motion. Our lips continued to move together in harmony and with each moment of the kiss I became increasingly light headed. His hands rested dangerously close to my hand, right on my lower back where the exposed skin between my shorts and singlet was. I didn't think much of it at the time, far too mesmerised by the kiss and as reality kicked in I pulled back upon feeling his cold fingertips against my skin. We were both panting heavily and I looked up at him with tired, hazy eyes, though I was smiling all the same. "I really should sleep now..School tomorrow.." My words were difficult to produce but he seemed happy after that lengthy make-out session. With another quick peck on the lips he left with a soft 'See you later' and once the door had shut I sighed happily. That night, I went to sleep swimming in my thoughts about that kiss.
