Chapter 360: My body tingled and my eyes swirled
I slipped and landed in Seo-Jun’s arms, allowing him to say the words he couldn’t say before because of ’timing’.
"Careful, the floor is slippery." He said with a charming smile.
Ah, you say that ’after’ I slip. Really smooth.
"Well, thank you," I cleared my throat and looked away. "I’ll get down now,"
"No, I’ll carry you," he said but that irked me.
"Hey, you’re a patient. Don’t do silly things and just let me down." I said, struggling and he let go.
"Alright, alright." He said with little laughter. "But I feel there’s something else you wanted to say."
I rolled my eyes away and narrowed them.
Yes, I did want to ask him something but not now. He needs to take a shower and then get her dried so his condition won’t get worse.
"You have to take a shower. I don’t think I need to stay to see that." I said, pointing at the door. "I have to go change my clothes, if not I’ll really catch a cold."
Seo-Jun did not say anything. He just watched me as I walked away and as I was about to head out the door, I glanced back at him.
Why was he acting like a homesick dog?
"I told you I’ll be back soon. Stop standing there. You’ll catch a cold like that."
"But I don’t want you to go," he said and that shot an arrow into my heart.
My face heated up.
He was being a baby but there was already one baby in this household. I didn’t need one more, ahem.
"I’ll be back right away so get in the shower. I... I’ll bring the towel for you."
"But if you head to your room, you might take a while and I’ll be done soon." He tapped the tips of his fingers together.
"Then," what did he want? "Should I change my clothes here?" He immediately nodded, making me suspicious. "But I don’t have my clothes here."
"Just wear mine."
Ah, I get it. He wants me to wear one of his shirts. To think this was what he wanted.
How very like him.
"Alright," I said and his face lit up. "It’s not a big deal to wear your shirt anyway. So hurry and get in the shower. Wash off all that sweat that’s popping out of your pores."
"Yes, Jo-Pil," he said with a soft and warm gaze.
Badum
First, it was ’pit’a’pat’ and now it was ’badum’, my heart really knew how to make music.
I walked out, pressed my back against the door, and sighed softly.
He was harder to deal with than I thought. And at the same time, this was the easiest I’ve dealt with him.
"April," I called and April opened the door, walking in.
"Yes, master?"
I didn’t know she was out there, but I figured if May went to prepare the porridge, then at least one of them would stay behind in case I needed anything.
"Get me a pair of underwear and shorts from my room," I said and she walked away.
I did say I would wear his shirt but I can’t exactly wear his underwear or pants.
I took off my wet shirt and then went to his dressing room which served as his wardrobe. It was a door that led to his exclusive and costly outfits, but I was sure I would find one of his casual shirts that he usually wore indoors.
I just had to search a little.
It didn’t take long before I found one.
A grey shirt that had his scent. I mean, the entire room had his scent since it was filled with all the clothes he wore, but still, having his shirt in my hand, so close to my face.
I looked back and then, with a raging heart, stuffed my face in the shirt taking a long whiff of it.
My body tingled and my eyes swirled.
This... This scent... An Alpha’s scent was so intoxicating. I loved it.
Before I got caught, cause that’s how it always works, I hurried out of the dressing room.
I took off my pants till I was naked, picked up a towel, and wiped my body dry before putting on the shirt.
Ah, as expected, it was too big for me but... It felt so nice and comfortable.
I should wear big shirts more often.
(Don’t worry. You’ll wear ’lots’ of big shirts later, muhahaha.)
April returned with my shorts and theirs, and I quickly wore them. And while I was wearing it, the bathroom door opened and Seo-Jun walked out.
"Jo-Pil, you were taking too long." He said and I raised my head.
As soon as he saw me, he stood stunned for a moment, and then his lips curled.
"My shirt looks good on you." He said and I clicked my tongue, trying to hide how shy I felt.
"Don’t give your shirt credit. I just look good in everything." I said, taking the towel to him. "Here, you need to dry off."
"You’ll have to help me, Jo-Pil?"
"Huh?" Why?
Right, I was his caregiver right now.
I sighed and said,
"Then, you’ll have to sit cause you’re too tall." He obediently and quietly obliged.
He tied one towel around his waist and then sat on the bed so he wouldn’t get it wet.
I mean, this man can make even the bed wet, so who was I not to get wet? Haha.
I used another towel to dry the water rolling on his body while using the opportunity to touch him as much as I wanted.
"Ah, I feel like you’re taking advantage of me." He said and I snorted, not even denying it.
"Deal with it,"
He heard this and laughed.
I dropped the towel on his head and started scrubbing.
"Will you say it now?" He asked.
"Hm?"
"What you wanted to say before you sneezed."
Ah.
I was pretty sure he was about to kiss me before I sneezed. Yes, I did want to say something, but the way he leaned in made me think twice, cause I was equally craving his lips.
"Alright, but first." I lifted his chin and kissed his lips.
It tasted like mint. Looks like he brushed his teeth because he didn’t like the way his mouth tasted due to his fever.
But it didn’t mean anything. I still kissed him, rolling my tongue as much as I wanted. I had the upper hand here, haha.
Or so I thought.
Seo-Jun positioned one hand on my waist and the other on the back of my head. He depended the kiss and before I knew it, I was on the bed and he was on top of me.
I blinked, surprised.
Wait, what... What just happened?
