The First Night (1/1)

“Where to?” Asked the driver who started the car.“The hotel-”“My apartment-”We said simultaneously. I blinked a couple of times and turned my head to look at him with wide opened eyes. He had to be losing his mind. He really had lost his mind.I probably lost mine as well, for not arguing with him about this. ‘Cause a few minutes later we stood at the entrance of his apartment. He unlocked the door and walked in.I sighed heavily, pictures of my last visit here crossed my mind but I just ignored them and entered his apartment.“Okay, I want to make something clear now,” I said as TOP dropped his luggage in his room. “I will only be sleeping here for one night,” I said seriously, still trying to sound as unpleasant as I could.  “Tomorrow I’ll go to a hotel,”TOP shrugged. I frowned, feeling a bit... Let down. Was it really that easy? He took me all this way to Korea and it didn’t even matter to him where I was? I shook my head.TOP was in his room, probably unpacking his backpack. I looked around, searching his apartment for a place to sleep. Realizing that the only bed in his apartment was in his room, a king-size one.I turned my head to look into the living room. The couch it was. It was already evening when we arrived in Seoul, so the moment I had prepared my bed – after receiving a spare pillow and blanket from TOP - it was around eleven o’clock. I took my toothbrush and –paste and rushed into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.I looked at my reflection, seeing the dark circles already forming. I splashed some water in my face to freshen up and brushed my teeth. When I heard two knocks on the door.I spit out the toothpaste. “Just a minute,” I mumbled as I drank some water. As I looked up in the mirror I saw TOP standing in the doorframe. He leant against the frame with his arms folded over his chest. Our eyes met in the reflection of the mirror  and a crooked smile appeared on his face.I looked away to the sink and took my toothbrush and –paste as I took a deep breath.“What?” He asked and I heard him walk into the bathroom.“Nothing,” I said seriously. I looked up to my side, seeing TOP now stood next to me at the sink. He looked down at me, still having that same smile on his face. “Nothing?”I felt my cheeks get hot but tried to hide this. “Just,” I shook my head and gestured to his face – to his expression. “Don’t look at me like that,”I heard him laugh. “Why not?” My eyes opened wide as I felt fingers brush my cheek as he put my hair behind my ear.“B-Because,” I quickly stepped away from him, not letting him distract by his touch or charisma. “We are hereby, not dating,” He frowned at me. “Yet,” I quickly added, knowing this somehow. “I don’t want to continue anything here from my last stay,  I want to start over,” I said strong minded. “So that means, we-” I pointed from him to me. “Are just friends,”He was a bit flustered by this. He shook his head lightly, as if still processing my words.I walked to the door. “Goodnight,” I said before going to my bed. My eyes opened at the sound of a sigh. I sat up straight in my bed and looked around, brushing hair out of my face. I saw a shadow standing at the door of the bedroom. TOP.He flicked on the light and I groaned in annoyance because of the sudden change in lighting.“Are you serious?” He asked in a low husky and sleepy voice. He nodded at the couch I was sleeping on. We had had this talk already earlier today, when I was determined to sleep there.“Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping?” I asked in a ragged voice as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. He went to his bed about an hour ago and I had assumed he was sleeping by now. I somehow couldn’t sleep yet, my mind was filled with thoughts that kept me awake.He sighed, ignoring my question. “You aren’t going to sleep there,”I raised an eyebrow. “As I said, I’m not going to sleep next to you,”“We’ll switch,” I looked up at him in shock, he seemed completely serious.“B-But… Why?” I asked loudly.He took a deep breath. “I can’t let you sleep on the couch, okay?” He growled in his husky voice. “You sleep in there,” He nodded at his bedroom. I looked at his bedroom and back at him.“W-What if I don’t want to?”He sighed heavily. “Will you stop lying and just go?” I closed the door behind me, leaving TOP with the couch as I entered his bedroom. As I looked around the room, I could only see dark shadows. I shuffled to the bed and hesitated as my fingers traced it.I bit my lip and frowned, as I thought about if I really wanted to sleep there.And, god how I wanted to sleep there. But somehow, something prevented me from diving in at first.But this feeling only lasted a few seconds, when the tiredness kicked in again. I snuggled underneath the sheets and took a deep breath.I felt my cheeks turn red and giggled as I inhaled his scent. A smile appeared on my face.I had worked so hard to let this part of me go, when I was at home. But somehow this just immediately woke up the giggly-school-girl in me.I turned around and looked up at the ceiling.I was back. ~~Ugh... You don't know how hard it was to write this all. I had like, THE BIGGEST WRITERS BLOCK of my life. I have written multiple chapters, the deleted them again because they just went on and on about nothing, than I gave it a break for a few days, started writing another fanfiction that also wouldn't work, then went back to this fanfic, wrote a few chapters, deleted them again because they just weren't good... It was horrible xD.Anywho, as you might see from here on the story is finally really going to start - but I don't have any idea about how I'm going continue from here on. But then again, that's just how I write :). And ofcourse, to all of you readers out there: Thank you so much for reading the story and for the lovely comments (on Small mistake, as well as this one)! I really love reading them, :3. xx Muffins
