Just Twilight

“Do you ever stop to think about how worried I get? You never listen. How can someone ignore people’s words this much? Yoon Junyoung doesn’t listen. She just doesn’t.”

Hearing the same complaint repeated over and over, Junyoung finally burst into laughter.

At the sound, Beomjin’s eyes cracked open slightly, and he lifted his head.

Junyoung folded her arms and smirked.

“What? Are you hoping that if you tell my mom, she’ll get up and smack me on the back?”

“Junyoung.”

His lips parted in surprise, his unfocused eyes widening slightly. The messy strands of hair falling over his forehead made him look almost boyish. It had only been four days since she last saw him, but his face looked a little leaner.

“Yeah, yeah. The infamous ‘doesn’t listen to anyone’ Yoon Junyoung is here.”

“Come here.”

As if it was the most natural thing in the world, Beomjin patted his knee.

Scoffing, Junyoung didn’t move an inch.

“Not really in the mood to sit there. Why should I, when my husband’s been trash-talking me the whole time?”

“Hurry.”@@novelbin@@

Completely ignoring her words, he kept patting his knee insistently.

With a resigned shake of her head, Junyoung trudged over and sat beside him. The moment she did, his arms wrapped tightly around her, pulling her in as if he wouldn’t let go until she fully leaned against him.

“Ugh—wait, I can’t breathe.”

She squirmed against his iron grip, but it was no use. Finally, giving up, she let her body go slack and rested her head against his chest. The warmth of his alcohol-flushed skin radiated through his clothes. His heartbeat was strong and steady, echoing in her ears.

He pressed his lips gently to the top of her head, inhaling deeply.

Junyoung absentmindedly played with the fabric of his sleeve, mumbling,

“You didn’t call me once in four days.”

“Neither did you.”

“I knew why you weren’t calling. I was just being stubborn.”
