Marriage with an Idol - Chapter 4：Moonlight

I let out a deep sigh. Although, I do admit that I was a bit surprised to see the handsome model in my bedroom, then again, I knew this was going to happen. I shouldn’t have let Shownu out of my sight from the start… I don’t know if I will find anything in common with…

Hyungwon… the visual guy of Monsta X!

Hyungwon was sleeping on the bed end chaise longue. He was still looking as cool as ever. It’s strange how I am just getting used to this… I don’t even know what’s wrong with me to react so normal in this situation. I guess it must be because I know all of this will disappear soon. Nothing lasts forever. Just like my relationships from before. There was a smell of warm hot chocolate lingering in the air. I looked near the bed and find two couple style cups that had smoke arousing from them on the bed drawer.

One of the cups had a little cute anime boy drawn on it, and the boy was holding on to a red thread. Similarly, the opposite cup had a cute anime girl drawn on it; and she was also holding a red thread in her hand. Both cups were put together, so it looked like the thread was connecting both characters by fate. I have never seen those two cups before in my kitchen, although I have seen them in a store before; I didn’t buy them since I hated anything that was romance related.

Hyungwon has always been the visual yet the slowest turtle in the group. Fans gave him the nickname of turtle because he is always slow and just wants to sleep most of the time. I am surprised that he didn’t wake up instantly when I turned on the lights. Just to be sure that he doesn’t wake up, I turn off the lights straight away. Although the lights are turned off, there is still light from the moon and from the lights on the street. I could let him sleep there and hope that nothing awkward happens between us. I mean he is a handsome guy after all and I don’t think my heart will be able to bear any weird incident that could happen between us.

Besides, I don’t think I am curious about that special night anymore… I think I am not at least. Oh God, as I thought, my curiosity will be the end of me someday!

I slowly walk towards my bed while trying not to make any sound that could alert Hyungwon to wake up. I walk towards my bed while keeping my eyes fixed on Hyungwon. I am sure I looked like a hunter keeping an eye on her prey. I giggle to myself at the funny thoughts I was starting to have. Successfully, I reach my bedroom drawer and take out the laptop from there. I might be having a De Ja Vu right now, but work is still important to me. I quietly start walking towards my bedroom door and stop in my tracks as soon as I hear his voice…

“Moon… I am awake you know.” I looked over to the lounge where Hyungwon was lying down a few minutes ago but, now he was stood there, both his arms crossed like he was disappointed in me. I couldn’t make out his expression since he was half covered in shadow. I don’t know how to respond to him in this situation, so I just giggled while standing there.

Hyungwon moves across the room and walks towards the bedroom door. Is he going to leave? Is Hyungwon angry with me? I let out a sigh… What is with men? They just get angry easily, I mean shouldn’t it be the opposite way?

A sudden bright light makes me flinch. I look towards the door and find Hyungwon leaned there smiling at me. Should I smile back? I don’t smile back though instead I just look at him grumpily and hold my laptop in my arms tightly. I have been teased enough for today. Hyungwon eyes don’t move for a second from my face. What is he thinking? As if he was suddenly reminded of something, Hyungwon starts walking towards the bed draw on the left side. He opens the draw and then opens another one until he finds a hairdryer…

Wait… Hairdryer? What is he going to do with that?

“Come over here, Moon. We need to dry your hair before you catch a cold. I know your work is important but please be considerate of your health!”

Hyungwon walks towards the window and plugs the switch in the switchboard that was below near the window. He sits down on the chair where I usually sit down to do my work. I still don’t walk towards Hyungwon and just stay where I was. Stunned and frozen.

Hyungwon calls out to me again and when I still don’t walk towards him. He gets up and comes over to me. Hyungwon was tall and I had to move my chin up to look into his eyes. Without saying anything Hyungwon takes out the laptop from my hands and moves towards the bed to put it down there. He then walks towards me again and holds my hand and starts walking me towards the chair. He puts his hands on my shoulder and without a word or hesitation I sit down facing the window.

My back had no support and I felt like I could fall back any second. I lean to the back of the chair from my shoulder. Hyungwon turns on the dryer and starts drying my hair. The warm air of the dryer on my neck makes me flinch… he slowly moves his hands through my hair like he has done this many time. The warm air in the hair makes me sleepy and I just close my eyes to enjoy this moment fully.

Later on, Hyungwon turns off the dryer and puts it down on the table but I don’t bother opening my eyes. Although the night is cold, I feel warm being in this room with Hyungwon. A pair of arms embraces me from behind and he puts his head on my shoulder. I quickly open my eyes and try to stand up, but his embrace keeps me pinned on the chair.

“What are you doing?” I ask Hyungwon suspiciously. My heart starts to run a marathon once again.

“What do you think I am doing? Have you already forgotten what tonight is?” I feel my breathing get heavier. I am sure nothing will happen. Why did I stay in the bedroom? What did I even expect? I must have lost my mind thinking that nothing will happen…

I quickly become more focused on Hyungwons’ movement. He moves his head away from my shoulder and moves his arms as well. I didn’t even realize that I was holding my breath. Did he stop? Was that it? I feel his hands in my hair again and I almost jump up from the shock. Why do I have to be sensitive?!

I think Hyungwon is tying my hair in a braid, he collects my hair from the left side and I start to feel a warm breath on my left side of the neck. What is Hyungwon planning? I don’t think I should sit down here to find that out. Before I could stand up, I feel a warm touch of lips on my left shoulder. I jump up from shock and turn around to look at Hyungwon. He looked more surprised than me. I could feel my face turning red.

Slowly, I move my left hand to touch my shoulder where Hyungwon kissed. I don’t want to stay here another second. I move to walk towards the bedroom door and before I realize it, I trip on the wire and fall forward, towards Hyungwon. Damn these wires. Wait, why didn’t I feel any pain when I fell forward? and since when did my carpet turn super soft? I open my eyes to find Hyunwon below me. He was groaning in pain. I quickly try to get up and successfully move away but Hyungwon pulls my arms and I fall on his chest again… My head was resting on his chest…

“I never thought that I would get pushed down by you like this one day. As expected Moon, you are full of surprises.” Hyungwon starts laughing gently, it was not an evil one, but his laugh just made me blush even more. I didn’t dare move away.

Hyungwon slowly starts stroking my hair gently and I could feel a sense of warmth and care from him. I felt like Hyungwon was trying to imprison me in his arms like he thought he would lose me any second. Without realizing my actions, I hold onto Hyungwon tightly. Why did I do that? I just close my eyes and let the darkness sweep me away. I could hear Hyungwons’ voice distantly but I didn’t bother paying attention.

“Well, this isn’t what we planned now, is it… What are we going to do Moon?” Hyungwons’ voice sounded distant and disappointed but I just wanted to be embraced and sleep. I am tired of working on the endless nights alone…

I never thought that sleeping through the night would bring me another twist and a dreadful ending…

A dreadful ending that made me wish that all of this never started…

A love this painful is still better than having no love!
