Crashing Into You

"There"s a pasta sauce at the corner of your lips!" Lee Jin Ho said and wiped it with his bare hand. 

"Oh!" Tan Ja Nin reacted. 

Lee Jin Ho licked the pasta sauce that came from Tan Ja Nin"s lips that was on his finger. 

"Gross!" Tan Ja Nin exclaimed. She can"t believe that Lee Jin Ho has eaten the pasta sauce which from her lips.

"Well my hand is clean!" Lee Jin Ho snorted.

"But do you really need to eat the pasta sauce that came from the corner of my lips? My saliva from my lips could had mixed into the pasta sauce already!" Tan Ja Nin asked in disbelief.

"As if I haven"t tasted your saliva yet!" Lee Jin Ho commented 

"...." Tan Ja Nin face suddenly blushed. This man was really shameless.

Lee Jin Ho curled up his lips. He was really having fun teasing her. But he really wish to taste her lips again. "Since you are not going to prepare my lunch tomorrow. Make sure that my dinner is sumptuous." He said instead trying to wash away that temptation to kiss her.

"Do you have preference?" Tan Ja Nin asked and have wished that Lee Jin Ho would say a dish that can easily prepare. 

"I want a steak!" Lee Jin Ho uttered.

"A steak?!" Tan Ja Nin was stunned "I haven"t tried cooking it. Also, I understand that for a steak to be that flavorful you need to season it with salt overnight, is that correct?"

Lee Jin Ho nodded.

"I don"t have much time to prepare it tonight after our dinner." She complained.

Lee Jin Ho sighed. "Okay! Just cook anything! But promise me to cook a steak in the coming days!" 

Tan Ja Nin smiled "Sure!"

"I"m done!" Lee Jin Ho said as he stood up.

"You"re so fast!" Tan Ja Nin exclaimed.

Lee Jin Ho did not mind her comment. "I"ll prepare the clothes that you can wear tonight"

Tan Ja Nin nodded. 

"Do you have extra toothbrush?" She asked.

"You should always bring toothbrush and put it on your bag." Lee Jin Ho said.

"...." Her bag only have four items. Her wallet. Her phone, her apartment key and her make up kit. 

"Let me check if I still have one" Lee Jin Ho said.

"Thank you." Tan Ja Nin said.

Lee Jin Ho strode towards his bedroom. Tan Ja Nin gaze followed him.

.....

Tan Ja Nin have washed the dishes and went to Lee Jin Ho"s bedroom afterwards. She knocked first but when Lee Jin Ho did not respond, she slowly opened the doork.n.o.b and entered the room. She didn"t see Lee Jin Ho inside his room. Then she heard a splash of water from the bathroom. He might be taking a shower just now. 

She looked around and she felt some familiarity inside his bedroom. She looked at the bed and thought that she was once had slept on that bed. She looked at the bedside table and was searching for a picture frame that she saw before.  But to her surprise the picture frame was no longer there. Did he already dispatch that picture frame where Song Dei Si"s old picture when she was in high school was displayed? Does it mean that Lee Jin Ho has gotten over Song Dei Si? Suddenly, an unfamiliar joy has warmth her heart with that thought. She lay down on his bed and hugged his pillow. She smelled his scent on it. 

She suddenly got up when she heard that the door of the bathroom was opening and was stunned when she saw Lee Jin Ho who was half-naked came out of it. 

She immediately covered her eyes with her hands.

"Why are you half-naked?" She asked.

"I just took a shower so I haven"t put my clothes on yet." 

"Don"t you have bathrobe?" 

"I don"t use a bathrobe here" Lee Jin Ho replied. 

"Can you put your clothes on now and let me know once your fully cloth" Tan Ja Nin said. 

"You"ve seen me fully naked before so why acting like it was your first time seeing it!" Lee Jin Ho was quite annoyed. 

"As if I wanted to see your naked body again!" Said Tan Ja Nin. "Do you have clothes now?

"None yet. I am wearing my underwear now!" 

Tan Ja Nin swallowed her own saliva. So Lee Jin Ho doesn"t wear  anything under the towel on his lower torso? The aircon on his room was full blast but why does she suddenly felt hot. 

Maybe it was a wrong decision to sleep on his place tonight. Lee Jin Ho was torturing her. 

"Are you done now?" 

"Yes!"

Tan Ja Nin slowly put down her hands and opened her eyes. Lee Jin Ho was already wearing a tank top and a boxer short. She wanted to tell her mind not to look at his boxer short but her eyes was disobeying her mind. She unconciously looked at his bottom and saw a bulge on it. 

"My t-s.h.i.+rt and a new toothbrush are already in the bathroom. You can take a shower now"

"O-okay!" Tan Ja Nin stammered when she answered him and walked fast inside the bathroom and locked it. Lee Jin Ho made a soft laugh as soon as she have entered the bathroom. 

.....

Tan Ja Nin was trying to calm herself by patting her chest. It was thumping crazily fast. When the rhythm of her heartbeat has got back to normal, she surveyed the bathroom and saw Lee Jin Ho"s t-s.h.i.+rt and the new toothbrush at the cabinet near the sink. She stripped off all her clothes and walked to the shower room.  She looked around and saw a new soap that hasn"t been used. She smiled. At least this shameless guy still have some decency left. 

.....

When Tan Ja Nin came back to the bedroom after taking a shower, she saw that Lee Jin Ho was already lying at the comforter on the floor. 

"You okay there?" Tan Ja Nin asked and a bit guilty that Lee Jin Ho had to sleep at the floor tonight because she was invading his bed. 

"If I said I"m not comfortable lying here at the floor, will you allow me to sleep beside you on the bed?" Lee Jin Ho asked. 

Tan Ja Nin face blushed. "Of course not." 

"Okay! Then stop asking!" Lee Jin Ho said.

"Are you going to sleep now?" She asked.

"What else should I do, if I"m not going to sleep yet?" Lee Jin Ho asked. 

"Well, goodnight then." Tan Ja Nin said. Good thing, Lee Jin Ho has hair blower in his bathroom so she was able to blowdry her hair and was now ready to sleep too. 

She turned on the alarm clock on her phone and was about to lie on the bed when she heard Lee Jin Ho"s voice. 

"Don"t forget to turn off the lights. I can"t sleep with the lights on."

"Okay!" She looked around to find where the light switch at. It was near the door. She stood up and went there to turn it off. 

But after she turned it off, she cannot see anything when she tried to go back to the bed. The room was so dark and she could not see anything. Her vision hasn"t adjusted to the dark yet so she tried to walk blindly to the bed. 

She walked slowly and groped around with her hands. Then suddenly she did slip when she walked over to a man"s body. 

She lost her balance and fell into Lee Jin Ho"s body like a frog. 

It was so sudden and when she realized that she was on top of Lee Jin Ho"s body, she tried to stand up. But before she could, she felt that Lee Jin Ho was holding her back when he put his arms around her waist then suddenly flipped her in a swift motion. and he was now on top of her.

"Jin Ho...." She said in a low voice. 

Her vision has already adjusted to the dark and she can saw him hazily. 

She knew what was coming when Lee Jin Ho lowered his head. She could have pushed him away but she did not move. She closed eyes instead and waited for his lips to land into hers. 

When his lips finally met hers, she felt that she had always waited for that kiss and now it was already happening. 

She can"t help but wrapped around her hands to his nape when Lee Jin Ho gave her a deep kiss.

Lee Jin Ho briefly withdraw his lips from her but started nibbling her lower lip after a short break. She heard a sudden change on his breathing. It suddenly became heavy and she started to hear him groaned. 

"Ja Nin..." he said in a heavy breathing. "Push me away now if you don"t want something to happen because if you"ll do that later I will not be able to hold it in anymore..."
